Hi all, I've never posted here before but wanted to ask for some help/advice. I submitted this a couple years ago and then forgot about it until recently, went back to check the thread and it got denied. They had really good feedback, mainly praising the arrangement and pointing out some mastering issues. So I figured I'd post what I've got here and see if I could get some feedback/guidance on polishing it up so I don't have to waste time with a bunch of submission/resubmission processes lol. Here's the most recent version, after feedback from some helpful forum users: Revivify_Revised.wav Let me know what you think especially about the production side of things. Mastering is hard lol.

Ok, so I think I got the muddiness fixed at least some, I changed the snare a bit, I changed one of the leads, hope it's more interesting. I also brought stuff closer to center. The distortion thing you heard was a pluck bass, I changed that also. The previous version I only sidechained the lower frequencies of the bass, this time I did a normal sidechain. 11-24 edit Tried to fix last things mentioned. remix below, also in last post of thread 12-12 edit Latest attempt. Tried a few different things, Different bass, different sidechaining techniques, etc. 12-19 edit below. Thanks for feedback ahead of time!

Edit October 11. One last revision here in this post. I added a couple tam tam hits, changed the timing of some triplets on the flute part, and also changed some notes because the reverb wasn't rendering correctly at on point....I altered the notes to get around that issue. Also made the drums just a tad more "wet", particularly the snare. Thanks! https://drive.google.com/file/d/16PhFOth7zVdJMpqnI9dHQfavfGUEV7k9/view?usp=drivesdk

Not sure if it is possible to post this remix here because it's a fan game, but might as well. Loved giving the original a new nature-esque coat of paint, as well as making it feel more complete (with a constructive beginning and end - sort of an adventure in a way). Probably my favourite remix produced so far. Thx in advance to whoever listens. Kindest regards, Metris

After taking some time off from making music to develop a new mixing style and get used to my new Yamaha MSP 3 professional studio monitors (which are perhaps some of the most accurate and faithful studio monitors in the world, and definitely professional tools for mixing and sound engineering), I'm back on track with a nice remix of the "Superman" soundtrack originally composed by the punk rock and ska punk band Goldfinger. The original track, on which I based this remix, became quite famous with the Playstation game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (also called "Tony Hawk's Skateboarding" in some countries). And since I really digged this song when I played the game as a teenager, I decided to use my new mixing skills and my new professional studio tools to create a kinda worthy remix of this track. Since this remix is basically my first major music project mixed on my new Yamaha MSP 3 studio monitors, and I think it's one of my best tracks with a much more advanced and professional mixing style, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. So, I put a lot of time, effort, passion and inner fire into the new composition of this remix, and I really had a lot of fun creating it with my own musical style, which in this case consists of a nice alternation of ambient soundscapes, heavy rock parts and some casual jazzy lines. For more information about the creation of my remix, check out the upload description of the YouTube link. And here is the content. Original soundtrack: >>> --------------------------------------- Newest version of my remix: 1.1 >>> >>> >>> https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm41413951 Enjoy this one and don't forget give me some feedback on how you like the composition for the remix - especially my new mixing style based on my new Yamaha MSP 3 studio monitors and the use of the 2-channel surround feature in my DAW for creating a cleaner and more spatial mix with a greater imagination of depth.

It's been a long while since I did any serious work, so here we go - a remix of Boss Battle 2 from Legend of Dragoon. While the last couple of Dragoon arrangements I did shifted the genre quite a bit, this time I decided to lean heavily into the original mood. I think it's largely finished, but there are still some things I'd like to touch up. Enjoy, and any feedback is welcome! And here's the original source:

A synthwave rendition of Hurry! by Nobuo Uematsu, featured in the game Final Fantasy VII. This is my remix. This is the original song for reference. My arrangement is done on synthesizer. I kept the same BPM to give the same overall timing but manipulated the beat into an electronic/synthwave style. I also introduced many new instruments, micro-rhythms, and timbres.

Original, though personally I'm more familiar versions used within Space Station 13 servers: Thanks for your time & consideration

Here's my cover/remix of Ultima IV: Towns. Everything is programmed/recorded live in my keyboard. I would appreciate some input before i send it up on Overclocked.

Hi everyone! This is the first remix I've ever worked on, so I wanted to base it on a track I love. That happened to be First Steps from Celeste (an incredible game). The atmosphere it creates when opening the player to the game is immaculate. And the retro tuning of the instrumentation I adore. When developing it, I wanted to somewhat modernize it whilst retaining the emotional and atmospheric beats of First Steps as a whole. Hope y'all enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/metris-77761303/celeste-first-steps-metris-remix

I prematurely submitted it before I knew this forum section existed, so I'm posting here for some feedback/review. Original Track: Full Speed Ahead! from Golden Sun: The Lost Age: Most recent version of my remix:

Hey guys! This one gave me a LOT of work, but it was fun! I went for a Liquid Tension/Dream Theater vibe (minus keyboard stuff), I figured it would sound great since it has all these different sections. I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, hope you like it. Let me know what you think ?

EDIT: Added SoundCloud link to the finished version. I've been on a Italo Disco binge and wanted to interpret a video game tune in that style. I chose Never More from Persona 4 because it's one of my favourite tracks ever. Basically I took the tune as is, rearranged it in Italo Disco style and used sounds from the 80's era: LinnDrum, Roland Juno, DX7 etc. It's still missing the outro and some production elements but as far as the arrangement and instrumentation goes I'm happy with it. I tried to steal as much inspiration as I could from classic tunes from bands like Modern Talking. Here's the original

Hi, let me know what you think about it. 08-05-2022: 20:23 : I have updated the song 08-05-2022 : 20:40 : I have updated the song Kingdom Hearts Destiny - Black and White.mp3

I did a big symphonic arrangement of Dancing Mad. Any feedback/criticism is welcome!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nslk0kBzSzI Golden Sun is probably my favorite OST so I made this remix of the Aqua Rock theme. I'd like to submit it eventually but I'm not sure what more I'd need to work on, so looking for feedback! this is the original track:

Here's my slow version of Chemical Plant Zone. Everything is programmed/recorded live in my keyboard and the main melody is performed live ontop of the prerecorded and arranged track. I would appreciate some input before i send it up on Overclocked. This is the speed i currently can play the song in, should i speed it up with software or let it be like it is?

Main part done. Still have some adjusting to do; breakdown might be re-written, gonna see if it grows on me. PS: Tried posting the embedded code, but I can't get it to come up... dontknow..

This is something I put together recently, and I thought I would post it here. I have a couple things I would like feedback on. Number one, I'm not sure on the balance and reverb on the SID lead, and I'm also not sure how others will like "the 80's threw up in here" kind of thing I have going on. I personally like it, not sure if others will. Thanks for feedback ahead of time!:) Edit: I made a couple of adjustments. Looking4BuddiesMasterWAV.wav

Hey everyone! In this rendition I went for a kinda doo wop 50's style, drew some inspiration from Sleep Walk. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1lo-NqgZHhAImrFf-OEJf53tQp6eY-u8C/view?usp=sharing Hope you like it! Please let me know what you think, comment on the production, arrangements, etc! Thank you

Hey guys! Here's my version of Krooks March from Donkey Kong Country 2 (aka the Castle Theme from that game). https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pLEhWwtJ301pH9aVGFXS-8dOZE92DqX0/view?usp=sharing My goal was to make a metal cover of this and since the song itself is very symphonic this turned out like a mixture of Dream Theater with Iron Maiden. Hope you like it! Please let me know what you think, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I recently completed a piece and have decided I liked it enough that maybe I could make it a submission here at OC Remix. Just not sure where to work on, add, or if I should keep it as is. As it is now I'm happy with it.

I'm satisfied with this, but I wanna make sure I didn't screw up and not catch it, so I'm poasting it here (never mind my spelling, I like toast!). https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1093989 I'll be editing this poast for a YouTube embed when the video publishes tomorrow evening... Edit: Jesus Christ. Okay, I just listened to it sober. Well, my writing is good (always is when I'm drunk), but I screwed up so bad on the mixing and transitions. Wow, I need to fix this. Edit 2: this and the next poast are the same link. I replaced the audio file in the page.
