WillRock Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Great to see this one finally posted sounds a lot better than the older version I have - better update it. That bass line is killer. Good stuff all around rozo nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duokun Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 So I decided the best way to review a song is to listen to it while writing the review. How obviously simple! I love the introduction. It's very deep and compelling, and then shifts cleanly into some powerful snare and bass. The humming sound is my best friend, as it always guarantees a shift in the music afterwards. I love how the bass and snare drown out slowly and leave the piano to stick its own. I kind of want to hear the piano a little louder, but perhaps it would be off sync with the volume of the rest of the track if it was. The ups and downs of the track are well done, and whether the track is in a high or in a low doesn't change its overall power. A couple complaints. I believe the mix sounds a little bit repetitive as the main beat of the song loops through about a good...70% or so of it. It does shift from a hardcore feel to a techno feel about half way through, and the volume and intesity constatly change, but the overall beat was still the same and still a little bit repetitive. I guess what I'm asking for is a little bit more originality with the beat. Stick that remix in a blender and see what you can make! But understandably, since this track is by a newcomer, I shant expect top of the chart compositions. This is definitely a good start to an infinite amount of potential for the future. And so, I pat Rozovian on the back and say, "Make more you son of a gun!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audio fidelity Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 good sounds - overall a very enjoyable mix the constant drum loop works - but i would def work on changing it up more in future mixes and having more dramatic transitions the melodic and harmonic content is your forte and i really enjoy your added touches and instruments you choose (they're very expressive and for lack of better words engaging and beautiful) - but the drums and energy are what you really need to focus on - and feel free to push the extremities of the dynamics more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toastman Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 All I can say is this... IT'S ABOUT TIME SOME GAVE RED CANYON SO REMIXING LOVE! Well done for a first mix. I would agree that some areas are a bit repetitive for my taste BUT some musical styles require such nature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HitoriJaNai Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 This is so definitely danceable, yay!!! Looking forward to hearing more from ya, Rozovian! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dhsu Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 I've got a fevah... And the only cuah... Is MORE EGGSHAKER Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Love the bassline throughout. It really drives the mix, no pun intended Good choice of synths, everything meshes well. Would have liked more done with the drums, they are the weakest part of the mix. Agree with Dshu, more eggshaker! Key change also works surprisingly well, even if it is sudden. Nice work, and welcome aboard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoeTaKa Posted December 6, 2008 Share Posted December 6, 2008 Great song, I'm loving the feel of this one. Very crisp, very clean. At first I thought the bass come off as a little strong but it works out. I think it gets busy and empty at just the right points, and its a very unique take. They key change was a great idea. I'd happily have this on in the background. Also I love the eggshaker, and the effects on it make it awesome, reminds me a little of this awesome song I heard ages ago called Bad Behaviour. Don't think anyone would've heard of it...anyway compositionally sometimes it feels like the instruments should do a little more in areas, but where it counts there's enough support to make the leads enjoyable. I never review, what am I doing lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunnowhathuh Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Alrighty, I'll do something productive for once and start reviewing stuff. I felt the remix was slighty repetitive...nah, that's not the right word, just didn't go as far as it could've I think is a better phrase. Nevertheless, it's an awesome song to listen to. Had a nice bassline to it and a catchy, upbeat tune to follow. Good stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 :D Thanks people. Yeah, it's not "best of OCR", but it got me posted. There's things I'm not satisfied with, but with the help from the Js and the channel, I've solved most of my problems with it. All I felt I could solve. Expect more remixes from me.

marcyt Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I like this. I'm not a musician so forgive my ignorance, but the high pitched synth (I think that's what it is) is a bit TOO high pitched for me. Other than that, it's a really fun tune that's got me bopping!

LuigiFan Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 This song has the funk. Nice one - this is a great first mix. Looking forward to the future of one Rozovian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 It is enormously refreshing to hear a remix of F-Zero that isn't Mute City. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Project R2K Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Very nice! Always glad to hear a great start from some new blood. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrull Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Ho ho ho, a review for you! Very catchy, and refreshing both becaues it's more mellow than I'm used to for F-Zero mixes and because it's an original song choice. Nice job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Congratulations, Rozovian. Red Canyon, eh? Been waiting for one. I'm hugely bothered by how the melody doesn't really play as in the original, but the mix as a whole sounds really good and the semi-distorted bassline is really nice, as are the quirky leads. They sometimes play notes that don't really fit, but oh well. The drums were a little dull, unfortunately, but hey, this is what I get for not posting in the wip thread for it (though I don't think ever I saw one...)

Doulifée Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Aaa red canyon, nice stuff it keeps the red canyon spirit. like someone else said the bassline is a real killer, also the 2.05 - 2.35 part is excellent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealPath Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Well, I had to quickly peruse my F-Zero rip (yeah, I keep stuff like that around for situations like this, been... quite a while since I've played that game) to make sure I could fully appreciate how this relates to and is different from the original, and I have to say, this is rockin'! It doesn't let up, keeps that "racing" feel, and yet varies itself enough to not get boring, or overwhelming, loved the way it just sort of quietly faded away without getting "slower" if that makes any sense. More than anything I have to say that it just feels like karma coming around that Rozovian finally has a mix of his own posted, considering all the great advice he dispenses on the WiP forums seemingly daily. It wasn't until recently that I realized Roz didn't actually have any mixes posted on the site yet, but I knew it was only a matter of time, congratulations man! Next up, Chill Penguin!

OceansAndrew Posted December 8, 2008 Share Posted December 8, 2008 Congrats on your first posted mix, dude! As someone who tends to be a fan of mixes with great bottom ends ( >_> ), this really appeals to me. The bass sound is great, and though the sound isn't completely balanced, it's styled in such a way to really appeal. The solos were funky, with some good rhythms, and the transitions were pretty well handled. Beats were a bit vanilla, but there was enough going on otherwise to keep the mix interesting. Pretty groove heavy, but it's textured enough to keep moving forward. Overall? Excellent bass, creative synth leads, and gated synth? I'm a fan.

Vidilian Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Congrats. Probably no one more deserving to get something on the site because of all the help you consistently give on the WIP boards. I always feel bad that I can't do more of that but I just don't know enough yet. Anyway, slick track you got here. A constant catchy groove and beat throughout. Maybe some more varition on the beat would've been nice but the genre doesn't really warrant it I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rokin2Mordor Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 I'm going through my second listen through of this mix, and I must say, it's pretty good. I like the tremolo effects, and some of the fades in here are kick-ass… …I would've liked a bridge or maybe something akin to a break… the key change is nice and subtle, unlike a few other songs I know of where the key change is often abrupt and jarring… …overall, this is good mix. I may have never liked F-Zero all that much, but this making me wanna grab a copy for emulation gaming. It's too bad that my MP3 player is nearly filled to bursting with other OCR songs, or I would add this to the 204 mixes I have on it already.

windkirby Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 This was pretty good - it really had a catchy rythym, and I especially liked the rush of high-pitched strings or whatever it was. I wish its pacing was a little bit faster or that the song's near-end climax was a little more sweeping, but on the whole, it was a pretty good song.

jintoreedwine Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Nice remix! I like how you worked the intro section I think everything fits together quite nicely. The strong beat helps keep the piece moving. Additionally, I like how you switch up the medley enough that it doesn't get stale as can be the tendency considering the source material of most of these songs .
