halc Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 a chippy take on the Outset Island theme from Wind Waker, now complete and ready to submit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Odyssey Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I figure this isn't a straight chiptune with all the drums and whatnot. I really like the feel you have here. I don't know about some of the notes in the ambient swirls at 0:49, but that may just be personal taste. I love the counter-melody from 1:12 to 1:19. Depending on where you go with this, I would lower the cymbals at 1:29 and have them crescendo until they stop at 1:37. Or possibly make them less frequent throughout that time. Nice sound effects with the song there btw. Good stuff! I look forward to updated versions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 thanks for the comments, I will continue to post future revisions. and yeah, this isn't a "conventional" chiptune, everything was written in FL, most of the synths and NES kits are VST.

halc Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 my apologies if that is the case, my social internet skillz are lacking and thank you for the appreciation EDIT: you wanted more, you can have a little more (version2) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xenon Odyssey Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 I like the drum fade-in at 1:52, as well as the chord syncopation at 0:52-0:54. Nothing really else to say, other than I look forward to seeing where you take this, and I'll probably have this on loop for a while.

MrSneak Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 This song is the song of champions. That means I love it. A great tune from the original and I'm thrilled to see it tributed thusly. Seriously, I dig this with a back-hoe. Finish it, give it to judges, etc. This is musical Zeldanic (it's a word) gold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMetal Posted October 30, 2008 Share Posted October 30, 2008 For me this tune really gets rolling at 0:46. The background chiptune sound that starts at 0:29 and repeats every two-ish seconds until 0:46 with a break between 0:35-0:38 really gets to me. Probably personal preference, but it sounds too hard and throws the groove of the track off. But man, after it gets going, you have one catchy song going. Gotta say I like it. Edit: Just listened to the original, and I really like how well you've transferred orchestration back to chiptune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benjamin Briggs Posted October 31, 2008 Share Posted October 31, 2008 dig it dig it the sound :26 is playing some wrong notes the sound at :35 is a little too loud, or a lot too loud, either way it's too loud the arpeggios that enter at :46... maybe you could try those an octave down the breakdown is pretty good, but it could use some melody LOVE the kick drum btw but, I think your non-chip drums are getting lazier because you're focusing more on the chip drums... don't forget all the crazy sounds you can make with your standard drum samples; they're a huge a part of your sound fun fact for everyone: he made this remix using my computer at my apartment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chanq Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 Man, you've just GOT to keep working on this one! I already love it and can't wait til you've come up with an ending. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSneak Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 I was just giving this another listen (because I love it), and I wondered if you could loop the tune around again but add in a new lead instrument on top. Like, maybe even a harmonica or a banjo. The whole track is already delightful and surprising, I think throwing in something like that would be really unexpected, but at the same time, it would really contribute to the overall feel of it. I guess what I'm really saying is, I like it so much, I want it to keep going. And as most people would expect, I'd like to hear some more progression if you decide to loop it. It'd give you an opportunity to throw in a bridge and do some original writing too. I gotta say at about the 3/4 mark of the track, it climaxes so well, but then as it boils down it still feels fresh and inviting. I really love this mix.

Invader_Quirk Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I absolutely love it. It's incredibly upbeat and really makes me happy... until it abruptly ends. Pleeeasse finish it soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted November 7, 2008 Author Share Posted November 7, 2008 Thanks for all the comments, I just uploaded a new version The new stuff still needs to be fleshed out, keep looking out for updates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jewbei Posted November 7, 2008 Share Posted November 7, 2008 i remember when you showed me the earlier version of this over aim and i praised the hell outta it and now hearing the more updated version i must man im loving this. You've come a long way and its good that ive been able to watch you grow since your VGMix 2.0 days. I still wish you had finished your tal tal mountain mix. but yeah the only thing this mix is lacking some nice full string pads like really lush. but this mix is really upbeat kinda reminds me of some of my stuff but it has that nice ass hip hop-ish flow. i really hope you finish this so i can add this to the rest of your songs on my mp3 player. keep me posted!

progressive Posted November 11, 2008 Share Posted November 11, 2008 I had my doubts until 1:03 when the melody came in. After that, it gets really good, really quickly. 1:38 to the end is gold. I would hold the beginning "get item" sound effect out a little bit longer like it sounds in-game so you get the mix off on a more deliberate note. The first minute is a little too "OK, I'm slowly layering this so it all sounds great later on." I think it should be able to support its own weight a little better. I know you can do it because the rest is an exercise in greatness. I'm also in agreement here that you could easily do with another minute/minute-half or so. Good luck - I think this will join the ranks of Star Salzman's 'Duck Blur' and Mario Galaxy's 'Gusty Garden' in their innate ability to make anyone smile.

Invader_Quirk Posted November 12, 2008 Share Posted November 12, 2008 The new version is at least three times as awesome as the last one. I'm so psyched for this to be done! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwinged Saron Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 We got a winner! I agree with Tappy. I unconsciously start rocking my head to this. It's just so fun. Its sound is more like what I'd expect to be playing from Beedles boat but it works for Outset too. WAIT thats IT!!! It sounds like a techno ice cream truck! its that reverb sound that you hear when the truck is like 4 streets over and you know your street is next. YAY! memories. trivia: name my movie reference in this post and get a cookie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJMetal Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I'm really liking how this is shaping up. V3 is excellent, and that added 43 seconds is solid stuff in my opinion. From 2:04 to 2:21 sounds a little empty...there doesn't feel like much is going on there. It fits with the progression of the mix, and I'm not sure what I'd put in there give that little bit a richer feel, but it just feel like something should go there...I dunno. The rest of it, though, is pure sweetness. Especially the new ending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
