djpretzel Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 What did you think? Post your opinion of this ReMix. Quote
dzone Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Ohhh. what a nice vibe you got there. Just makes me feel like putting on my boxong gloves on and inflicting some major cranial damage. Thanks for the top notch submission. Quote
bartkusa Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 Keep in mind I don't know anything about music, and just listen to it. Is it just me, or is there clipping on stuff like the piano? It might be my headphones... Also, I think I'd like to have heard the sax take off a little bit more, go a bit more wild. The break at 2:52 is a bit out of place. I wasn't expecting it, and only time will tell if it's welcome. Maybe I'm being deceived by the piano and sax from earlier, but I wasn't really thinking about this in a techno or house mind set (anyone care to pick an electronic genre that sticks to this?). Anyways, this is a solid mix that will keep my other SFII remixes in good company. Thanks. Quote
gilead42 Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 This was a geat remix of Balrog(or M.bison in Japan) theme. It is one of my favorite stage music. Great remix 10/10 Quote
lazygecko Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 I suppose I'm the one to blame for the non-wild sax Quote
Xelebes Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 I remember this in the WIP, and I remember it was something along a Spanish Disco... or something.... I dunno. Quote
sgx Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Good groove, good sounds, good tune. Dig it. Very nice stuff. Drums get a bit repetitous after a while, but are generally good. Thumbs up. Quote
bartkusa Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 I suppose I'm the one to blame for the non-wild sax Heh, all I was saying is: bonus points for solos/"improv" Quote
Darkmoogle Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 I reaaaaaaaaally like this. I mean, the whole mood just kicks ass. Really, though, I'm afraid that djpretzel's presentation and description might have stolen the show. I laughed. Quote
Ash Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 This stuff somehow reminds me more of Outrun than SF2. Quote
Kamikaze Noodle Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 Something irks me about the mastering or something. While arrangement is awesome, and Lord knows I used to sing Balrog's theme back when I was a wee young 'un, it sounds like clipping or unintentional distortion in parts. Is this just my speakers? I wouldn't think so, but noone else seems to notice this and it's kinda ruining the song for me. It makes the song very jerky and unpleasant. Oh wait, I took one look at my equalizer and I found what's wrong. This song is EQed like a smile, so I had the extremes boosted too high on my EQ setting. If anyone else notices dostortion or clipping, just readjust your EQ. Um, this sounds a lot better now. Yeah. Wow. I feel like an idiot. Great stuff Neostorm! I'm glad to see Balrog's theme given some love, and especially in the form of such groovin piece. Quote
bartkusa Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 This song is EQed like a smile, so I had the extremes boosted too high on my EQ setting. That explains everything. I set my EQ to enhance the extreme frequencies, so it was like doing it twice over. Sounds better with the EQ off. Just wish I didn't have to remember to do it for this song alone though Oh Neostorm, would you be a dearie and.....? Quote
Jonathon Striker Posted September 8, 2003 Posted September 8, 2003 aaaaAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHYYYEEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHhhhh!!!!!!! Balrog in da hysouse. Dis is the jont man. Enough of my blackness. this is all it man. keep up the good work. I expect to hear more like this. Lemme get off this board and jam to the beat again. peace out ya'll. Quote
84 Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 This is such a great mix. It is upbeat with a nice tempo and it had me bobbin' my head the whole time. Top notch effort. Quote
Kuros Posted September 9, 2003 Posted September 9, 2003 Quite a good remix, could have added a bit more jump to it IMO, but it's kickin and has a great beat. 8/10 Quote
Malcos Posted September 10, 2003 Posted September 10, 2003 Sweet stuff, especially loving the string stuff near the end. Great groove. Quote
Dev Posted September 13, 2003 Posted September 13, 2003 This is sexy! Seriously, I'm loving the hell out of this mix. The arrangement is so well done, it blows my mind. Only thing I would have done differently, as some others discussed before, would have the sax do a bit more, go a little crazy. The playing seems a bit conservative, in my opinion. Other than that, I'm in love with this. A big thanks to Neostorm for making my shitty week a hell of a lot better. Quote
neostormx Posted September 14, 2003 Posted September 14, 2003 Thanks for the compliments! This remix was actually a little difficult due to the original score having the same root through the whole thing. But as you noticed i changed to root during the breakdowns to add more feeling. Yea, i agree the sax could have been more improvised. That's something that I need to learn. Sax playing styles, and how to program them. However, Gecko Yamori really did help a lot more with that sax than it sounded before. But yes, I was afraid to improvise the sax because of my lack of skill with it. This probably makes the remix more conservative as it sticks to the original melody as much as possible. The eqing of the piano causes some people to have clipping on their end. I dunno why, maybe because im not a skilled audio engineer and have very little knowledge of eqing. But it sounded great on my end, with my eq set to dry, and when set to high bass and treble boost. so i dunno.. Im gradually learning music theory and history, but i'm glad that you all appreciated my latest remix. Expect more to come very soon!! This is sexy! Seriously, I'm loving the hell out of this mix. I didn't come up with the title till i was near completion. The remix sounded sexy, and now you know the true meaning of sexy trunks.. (Sexy Gloves didnt sound sexy enough) Quote
the warlock Posted September 17, 2003 Posted September 17, 2003 My first reaction after hearing this for the first time was that it wasn't as good as i expected. However, i realised that although it wasn't what i expected it was a very nice piece and i got more nand more into this ReMix. I like the rythm, the jazzyness, the groove. Everything about this has a good vibe to it. I do agree w/other's that the sax could have been used more adventurously but overall a great ReMix and one that i have been waiting patiently for. Top work Neostorm. Quote
Aamp Posted September 25, 2003 Posted September 25, 2003 Cool spatial stereo effect. Nice beat and bass, gets my foot tapin'. Quote
Ryudo_of_Destiny Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 I remeber when he was still working on this in the other forum and now that it is on the site, cool. I always loved this reMix. Quote
neostormx Posted October 1, 2003 Posted October 1, 2003 i just got my good set of headphones to work again (i crazy glued them back together), and wow this track sounds much better that before on the crusty gamer headset i made it on. I like it! Quote
maplejet Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 I'm feeling the groove to this one...just some good music to dance to..hehe. Quote
EvilRyu38 Posted April 15, 2004 Posted April 15, 2004 The Las Vegas theme was always one of my faves along with Guile's Kens and cammys Nice job man, this is smooth Quote
LiquidTrance Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Very nice remix of a great song. Keep it up! Quote
