Kautzman Posted January 6, 2008 Posted January 6, 2008 I really enjoyed it. The entire thing is beautiful. My only complaint is that the moving quarter note line of something electronic starting at 1:38ish(E, A, B, E, A, B...E, F#, etc.) Feels "Shaky" if you will. It doesn't feel as solid as I think it should be, almost like it has a small tremolo effect to it. At the end of the day, that's probably a style option more than anything and in the whole scope of things, is very minor. All together, it's an awesome piece.
Sole Signal Posted January 7, 2008 Author Posted January 7, 2008 Thanks for the comments, Kautzman. Worked on it some more last night; it's up over 4 and a half minutes long now. Probably will be submitting it within the week.
metaphist Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I loved listening to the beautiful melody of the ending theme when I beat Mario Kart 64 Sounds pretty good so far, has a very epic and adventurous feel. Keep it up and it'll turn out great. My only complaint is that the moving quarter note line of something electronic starting at 1:38ish(E, A, B, E, A, B...E, F#, etc.) Feels "Shaky" if you will.

At the end of the day, that's probably a style option more than anything and in the whole scope of things, is very minor. Sounds like a stylistic thing to me. I really have no major gripes as well, so if this is all we have to complain about so far, you must be on the right track
Geoffrey Taucer Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Ooh, this is nice. Excellent use of effects. Piano, strings, and synths are spot-on. You have a lot going on, but it avoids being chaotic, and all the elements are distinctly audible, nothing gets drowned out. That's some very skillful arranging and mixing. My only complaint is that the bass and percussion are a bit sparse, and do very little to enhance the song. Both could really use some filling out. I look forward to hearing a completed version of this. It's beautiful so far.
noTuX Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 I haven't been so excited about a WIP since GameBox drop his tunes. I love what you got going on so far and I can't wait for the final product. Keep it up and good luck.
avaris Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Been listening to this for awhile dude! Awesome so far. Glad to see you expand genres. Def has that late 80's early 90's ballad feel.
Nutritious Posted January 8, 2008 Posted January 8, 2008 Knowing Greg, he'll show us the final version as if it was played on a phonograph in an underwater cave.
Sole Signal Posted January 8, 2008 Author Posted January 8, 2008 Thanks guys, it's just about done now. Just trying to get the string sustains in the full-blown orchestral section to sound as good as they possibly can. Knowing Greg, he'll show us the final version as if it was played on a phonograph in an underwater cave. Not a bad idea.
Stom Posted January 10, 2008 Posted January 10, 2008 I dont normally reply to topics like this... I normally just download them and never mention it again lol... But I just couldnt walk away without saying SOMETHING about this beautiful elgance that is this mix... Simply amazing, cant stop listening to it!! Even sent it to my girlfriend, and she loved it too!! Really cant wait to hear the final piece!!
MechaFone Posted February 23, 2008 Posted February 23, 2008 Oh wow. Absolutely incredible. I would give this ten Yes's if I were a judge.
Sole Signal Posted February 24, 2008 Author Posted February 24, 2008 Thanks guys, this is completed (exactly 5 minutes long) and submitted as "Day's End," with some new acoustic guitar work by Tweek. Maybe I'll post a quick new preview here later to give you a taste of the full-blown orchestral parts.

LunaYoshi Posted February 25, 2008 Posted February 25, 2008 I love it when a song that's already beyond awesome gets remixed into something that can only be described as magical. This is made of a thousand pounds of Win. I hope it gets accepted, because all of OCREmix needs to hear this--not just the WIP forums.
Sole Signal Posted February 27, 2008 Author Posted February 27, 2008 Alright, just posted the finished song as a streaming link at vgmix: http://www.vgmix.com/members/271/audio.php Again, thanks to Tweek for the great acoustic guitar work. No download until (if) it gets on the front page of OCR. However, I do reserve the right to change my mind on this issue.
HalcyonSpirit Posted February 28, 2008 Posted February 28, 2008 I've been meaning to post in the Requests forum for someone to do this theme. It's been on my "This needs to be ReMixed NOW" list for a while. Looks like I can check it off the list now. Seriously, this is awesome stuff. This theme was beautiful originally, and you've done a fantastic job capturing that wonderful feeling it had and making it your own. I thought it could've used an ending that's a bit longer, but seriously, it's still great as-is. This is going straight into my playlist.
Hy Bound Posted February 29, 2008 Posted February 29, 2008 This is freaking awesome! Very chill and ambient, yet feels very much like a MarioKart song. The only little quibble I have with it is that the drums kind of sound distant and some of the other pieces feel a bit too background-y even though they're supposed to be foreground-y. Not a big deal in the slightest; I'm just nitpicking. I definitely think this will get passed as-is and will probably be one of my favorite ReMixes for just lounging to.
Vanzetti Was Framed Posted March 3, 2008 Posted March 3, 2008 Wow...this is really good. I'm not much for ending themes, but you've done a good job with this one. The soft piano works really well, doesn't really overpower any of the other instruments. Kudos!
Global-Trance Posted March 4, 2008 Posted March 4, 2008 An OCReMix I actually like. Hell's frozen over.
Platonist Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 if you check the judges desicions this has actually passed now! grats Audix
ceraf Posted April 21, 2008 Posted April 21, 2008 forgive me if I don't know how to use the search function properly, but where can I listen to this? I can't find the link to the judges' decision thread anywhere, nor the remix itself.
noTuX Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 forgive me if I don't know how to use the search function properly, but where can I listen to this? I can't find the link to the judges' decision thread anywhere, nor the remix itself. Its in the first post. It will take you to Audix's page on VG Mix. You can stream it, but I don't think you can download it yet.
darkmaster987 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 Um...sorry to sound like a total n00b, but can someone please tell me how the f**k I actually listen to this? i can't find a link anywhere on that page you linked...
Subz1987 Posted May 11, 2008 Posted May 11, 2008 Um...sorry to sound like a total n00b, but can someone please tell me how the f**k I actually listen to this? i can't find a link anywhere on that page you linked... That's because it was already posted on OCR. Look on the front page and find it.
Sole Signal Posted May 12, 2008 Author Posted May 12, 2008 Yep, here: http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01706/ Also, where's Larry when you need to lock up a thread for good?
