Audity Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Best mix in awhile the end. The appearance of the first gritty synth lead (1/6 through the song) made me a bit weary of the rest of the song. Then the 32nds came and it was all unique from there. The most important aspect of music today, in my opinion, is to find a sound that's unique---and that's what's present here. Electronic buffs, make yourself at home with this ReMix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadow Wolf Posted June 21, 2008 Share Posted June 21, 2008 Jesus CHRIST Dain, you make me cry happy tears. Your balls to the wall style has always made you my personal favorite mixer on the site, and this one's no different. EXCELLENT piece. Not only that, thanks to the interview, I now know you have ALBUMS full of this badassery, and I will be buying them as soon as possible. There's a lot more of an acid sound to this mix than most of yours, which isn't a bad thing by any means. Love th industrial grind throughout. This is the proverbial good shit. Nice work!

avaris Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I was expecting this song to blow up full blast right from the start but was pleasantly surprised by the ambient intro. The piano bits right before the synth had some nice audio debauchery. I really enjoyed this one for it's energy and dynamics. It never fell victim to the wall o' sound syndrome. This one is on the playlist! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuigiFan Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Well, after the doctors got my heart beating again after my initial spaz-out at seeing some more Beatdrop amazingess posted, I listened to probably one of the best tracks I have heard in a long time in this style. I've been a fan of yours ever since I discovered Catapult, and you continue to be astounding. Keep up the great work, man - you rock.

furymaster Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Wow, so many remixes lately. This one is definately no different. Beatdrop is always amazing and this time, MAN just amazing. Good work, looking forward to all the goodness you put out! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterBiggler Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 Pretty crazy stuff man, I'm still waiting for someone to remix the Ice stage from Mega man X3, just listen to it, its begging for a good mix Agreed. This is great. I thoroughly enjoyed this song from start to finish, and I'm going to play it a few more times this morning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flare4War Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 Great intro. It's really good overall. Crunchy and fun, one of those mixes that makes you want to drive fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 A good sounding song. Some of the synths would be unbearably annoying in the hands of someone less experienced. The mixing is good, everything is clear and punchy without clipping. The musical content is surprisingly interesting. My only problem is that this is too over interpreted. Adding some of this song into a more recognizable rendition of the original song would be great, but as it stands, it's not a good arrangement. Taking this many liberties with a song changes it into something completely different, and it's way beyond the threshold of good taste. Still, a good listen and a great example of electronic music done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirby Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 This is quite good. Although it's over before I realize it, it seems. But that's a good thing. A good overall job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawnpm810 Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sounds pretty decent. The techno intro gave it a good kick. I love the synths that were placed into this mix. Pretty much over all, its something that i would listen to over and over while playing this game. I own the Mega Man X collection along with the annaversary collection. I give it an all out 10 out of 10!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam2 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I have listened to this mix a good number of times now and it keeps getting better so I thought I would come here and say great work and respect. Really original stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrull Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 The more I listen to this, the more I like it. I've listened to a lot of his remixes, and although this one doesn't have the same instant gratification as some of his past mixes, it feels much deeper than anything of his I've heard before.

CobaltDelta Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 Hot DIGGITY DAMN, Beatdrop. This is by far your best work yet. So I heard you're also releasing albums with your original work on them? I'll be sure to check those out. Now, one thing kinda bothers me... The ending of the song just kind of shows up suddenly, and the song stops. One minute, I'm enjoying the awesome beats, and the next, it's gone... A moot point, really, and honestly, I can't think of another way to end the song that would match up with the same levels of win contained in the main section. But to end my review on a positive note, I've got to say: It's absolutely impressive to see how your skills have evolved so much. X-Buster MK17 was excellent, but it lacked the level of complex, ornate syncopation that this mix possesses. A truly enjoyable remix, and an instant favorite. Now to throw this on my MP3 player, hook it up to my car, and go blasting it down the highway... Kekeke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrumUltimA Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 fantastic beatdrop. How did you do the audio editing on the piano part in the beginning-between the chopping and the pitch raising? I really really liked that part specifically. I've been listening to this a lot lately. Fantastic! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatdrop Posted July 7, 2008 Share Posted July 7, 2008 Remind me to send you the FLP file for the intro of the song sometime. But to put it in writing, the intro was rendered as a wave file to be loaded into the main project, but itself consists of a sampler loaded with a grand piano, one loaded with an e-piano, and an organ. I rendered the section containing the piano notes I wanted to work with, and rendered it to an audio file. This audio file was then loaded into two instances of FL Slicer and two instances of FL Granulizer. The two seperate instances of each was to give myself two variants of time stretching to work with. I added in the slicing, and then dropped a long looped note on the Granulizer at C5 (base pitch). Since it's an FL native plugin, you can put note slides on it using the Piano Roll. So I added in a note slide which slowly causes the granular stretch to slide up to C6. Every other aspect of the stretched sound comes from the way I programmed the Granulizer's settings. Like I said, I'll send you the FLP for it sometime so you can take a peek. Just hit me up in IRC or on AIM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 MMX3 has awesome music. This is a fantastic mix, and a great return for Beatdrop. Great adaption of the source, really driving. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delfin Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 I've been a long-time semi-frequent visitor to OCRemix but never took the time to register, but figured it's about time I do so, and to take advantage of being registered, I thought I should make a small comment here about this little track from Beatdrop; I'm amazed, really. I've downloaded the years old releases for MMX3 by beatdrop before and always thought they have a bit of bad sounds, making them sound a bit amateurish, but this track? No way. I'm impressed that from 7years ago to today, there is a huge difference in Beatdrops sound, and it's for the better in my opinion. This is easily one of my favorite OCR tracks I've downloaded and I'm glad to hear someone who's been around for so long, to improve so much. Great work, Beatdrop.

metaphist Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 By far my favorite Beatdrop track...I can't keep it off repeat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malaki-LEGEND.sys Posted January 26, 2009 Share Posted January 26, 2009 There's a reason why Beatdrop gets his work in DDR. It's creative, and it has staying power. I think I turn this track on at least once when ever I sift through my OC Remix folder. Every section has a pretty awesome sound and I especially love the part when the intro lands into the first section at 0:43 and has that "reactor build up" feel to it. This track doesn't disappoint. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
