noTuX Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 And another one! This time, the source is from Donkey Kong Country 3 "Kastle Kaos" theme. You can check out the original song in MIDI format on VGMusic.com. This is the exact page: http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/index-af.html (You'll need to scroll down a bit to find it) And here it is in mp3 format: http://www.fileupyours.com/view/215432/KRool.mp3 The style of this mix is similar to my first "The Delay" mix from DKC2 which can be found here: http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR01546/. This is only the intro so, there isn't much to it yet. Now, for the WIP: http://www.mediafire.com/?ylvydwmyzdj Quote
Tex Posted January 7, 2009 Posted January 7, 2009 When I saw the thread title, I knew it was by you. Anyway I am providing the original: http://www.fileupyours.com/view/215432/KRool.mp3 Yet the WIP rocks. Keep at it. Quote

OfficialJab Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Sounds very similar to the original. I'd suggest throwing some improv into it. Quote
Therapsid Posted January 8, 2009 Posted January 8, 2009 Well, a DKC3 remix is just ...rare ware here. If it's Blue Magic's, it's just awesome. Keep up the good work. We wish it submitted and yessed. Quote
noTuX Posted January 9, 2009 Author Posted January 9, 2009 UPDATE http://www.mediafire.com/?ylvydwmyzdj I changed the piano sample that I used the first time I posted and made a few tweaks here and there. I also made it a little longer, but the last two sections aren't complete yet, so they sound a little empty. I'm trying to decide which idea I want to use. Quote
Soul Splint Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Can't wait to hear this finished. Big fan of your first Delay, this sounds like it could be even better. Really like the violin-esque riffs that kick in around 0:17. How about bringing more variety to those later in the song? The mix of techno and piano in the middle is a big strong point for me as well; would love to hear more of the same. Great stuff so far! Quote
hewhoisiam Posted January 9, 2009 Posted January 9, 2009 Love what you have so far. Are you planning to use any of those low resonating sounds from the original? They have that very throaty static sound which might be good somewhere in there. I very much like the mellow out feel of this from the original, and to me, a counter with those low sounds would complement it nicely. Just my opinions. Great work Quote
glasfen Posted January 11, 2009 Posted January 11, 2009 Always a pleasure to hear your work, Blue Magic. Very nicely layered instrumentation. I dig the rhythm and split audio synth. I guess this isn't worth much as a critique, as I think it's great... Looking forward to more updates! Quote
Enceladus Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 blue magic!!! hay! omg! i love "the delay"... the way you mixed hot beat bop an stikerbrush together is so... awesome *_* yes... this one is going trough the same way the first did, im sure we'll see a submition soon. Quote
AJiLe Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Are you planning to use any of those low resonating sounds from the original? They have that very throaty static sound which might be good somewhere in there. I very much like the mellow out feel of this from the original, and to me, a counter with those low sounds would complement it nicely. i agree. and imho, especially with the second piano patch, it feels like it's missing some punch. it's like the transients are over-compressed or it's been treated with a really wide band pass.. i don't know exactly how to say it, but listen to AeroZ's 'Turning Terrors' for 20 seconds then come back to this, and you can really hear the missing registers. obviously this is a tiny complaint, and that's only because there's nothing else to complain about. it's awesome so far--great groove, excellent pacing, etc. i'm looking forward to hearing more of it.

noTuX Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 UPDATE. http://www.mediafire.com/?ylvydwmyzdj I appreciate the comments everyone, and I'm still working on that piano. I added a little bit more to the mix and I do plan on adding more variation just to keep things fresh. Quote
AJiLe Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 got it. this mix just got tightened excellently. tempo shift is a good move, i love the new section at 1:20; bringing up the high buzzing dissonances in the intro really rocks. great work. this is very cool. Quote
noTuX Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 Update! I'm working on a new version. This is what I have so far... http://www.mediafire.com/?kwt2twxnrjj Quote
glasfen Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 Update! ...http://www.mediafire.com/?kwt2twxnrjj I'm having issues downloading this. Something about the source file not being able to be read. Is it just me? Quote
hewhoisiam Posted February 22, 2009 Posted February 22, 2009 I got it, but it took a few tries. I'm listening to this new mix. It sounds to me a lot like the old in all the areas I liked. I maintain what I said about wanting some low parts, but still love what you have. Again, the length is an issue. Some trance stuff is really good at a slow type build with almost no material. You're jumps right into the melody from the original. You may be able to sort of draw this out longer by only playing part of the melody over the chords. I like what you've got, don't get me wrong. But it's less than 2 minutes long Hope this helps -H Quote
Aninymouse Posted February 25, 2009 Posted February 25, 2009 Sup Blue Magic. Keeping out of the way of rogue weather I hope? I like what I hear so far, sir. Keep up the good work, and I mean that. See you on the other side of that big fat YES. Quote
