Kooper909 Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Hey everyone. I have a remix that I'm working on. The version I'm posting here is more or less complete. I've only had one remix posted to OCR and it was critically panned, so I really want to make this one all it can be. Here's the concept: The Yoshi's Story theme, in the style of "Someone Keeps Moving My Chair" by They Might Be Giants. (hear the TMBG song .)Here's what I've got so far: Click here to listen to Yoshi's_Story_Someone_Keeps_Moving_My_Yoshi.mp3 (updated 11-24-2010) Update: I originally posted here looking mainly for comments on the production/mastering. I think I've got that more or less where I want it. So please offer any feedback you have. Thanks. I'll take all the feedback you've got. If you don't think it's worth submitting to OCR, I want to hear that too. Thanks, everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Man Pac Posted January 26, 2010 Share Posted January 26, 2010 Definitely sounds like "Movin' My Chair". I especially enjoyed 1:10. The first minute or so though seems a little thin, and I think the rhythm synth layer (sorry if I don't know or use proper terminology hope I come across clear) is drowning out most of what you have so you consider adjusting some volume levels, and I feel your are lacking some part equivalent to the vocals in the TMBG. After the first minute it starts to polish up pretty well I think. Good luck to ya. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iggy Koopa Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 Like I said on YC, make the Yoshi singing at the end longer, like maybe another bar or two. It's totally something you should repeat a bit. Also, this is a bit short; I don't know how they'd feel about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooper909 Posted November 13, 2010 Author Share Posted November 13, 2010 Giving this one a bump ... hoping to get some more advice on sound production specifically. Updated file: Click here to listen to Yoshi's_Story_Someone_Keeps_Moving_My_Yoshi.mp3 And thank you to those who've already offered feedback.

Benjamin Briggs Posted November 13, 2010 Share Posted November 13, 2010 so I'm trying to download this because they might be giants is an amazing band but this zshare site you've got it uploaded on is a convoluted piece of garbage that I don't have the patience to navigate http://www.tindeck.com/ plz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kooper909 Posted November 24, 2010 Author Share Posted November 24, 2010 OK! You want Tindeck, you got it. Here is the most recent recent version, completely remastered. I still don't think it sounds 100% pro but I think it's damn near good enough.

Benjamin Briggs Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 ah, thank you for the accommodation! this mix is pretty cool, I like the general idea and vibe you've got going here, but seriously the electric guitar sound you're using here is flat-out MIDI unfortunately I know nothing in the way of good guitar synthesizers, so my best recommendation would be to attempt collaboration with one of ocr's many guitarists! best of luck to you, I hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSim Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Nice work so far! The style works really well for the source. I think you should just turn down the tambourine sound a touch, and maybe humanise it a little better - I can hear the higher velocity on each beat, but the sound does start to grate on me after a while! I really like the Yoshi-choir sound you've got there, but I'm not sure you should bring it in so early. Maybe save it for the final chorus as a sort of climax to the song? The arrangement you have at the moment doesn't feel too dynamic, and as has been said earlier, it's a little short. You could definitely get away with a bit more original stuff in there (after the first chorus maybe) - the "bridge" is really cool though - but after that I'd expect it to really end on a high. Octave higher maybe? Or change the melody a little to make it more ending-like? No need for a fade-out then. Production wise, apart from the tambourine, I don't have much of an issue with it, so nice job on that. Keep working on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
