djpretzel Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 We might need an official mix title character length limit... - djp DJP, Hey, congrats on the success of the site! I've got a remix for you, from Final Fantasy Adventure on the Gameboy system. The original song (actually two, just merged together) I have uploaded (for your convenience) as a short low bitrate mp3 which you can download here: The Actual ReMix can be accessed here: I'll be going by the mixing name BGC (stands for Big Giant Circles. But BGC is fine.) Real name is Jimmy Hinson, and website is..... *suspensful music*... www.biggiantcircles.com The best email addresses to reach me at are myheroisrockstar@aol.com and knoxvillerockstar@yahoo.com Thanks for your time and consideration, Jimmy a.k.a.

Vig Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 This remix sounds cool, there are some nice effects going on, and i think it's a decent remix overall, but i think it relies too much on the beat and the effects. i dont think the arrangement is strong enough. again, just on the line.

Liontamer Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 http://www.zophar.net/gbs/ffa.zip - GBS Tracks 7 & 21 (should have just said that in the e-mail) Intro's a little too drawn out. Would have loved the sounds to have been a little bit stronger and more impactful. The groove is already pretty good. The synth lead and drumwork starting at 1:28 were both somewhat flimsy-sounding, with the lead sounding a little too generic (although it was ok). Would have also loved to have heard the thicker drums take the forefront just for that 2:23-2:50 break section only with slightly less reverb. Pretty cool ideas, but I'm with Vig on this one. Fairly solid genre adaptation work, but not quite there. Wouldn't mind some more ideas thrown into the mix. Follow whatever advice here that you may be open to and definitely come on back, Jim. Won't take much more to snag a YES with me. I could see this possibly getting some YESs. Just needs a little bit more. Very solid stuff and one I personally enjoyed after more and more listens.

DarkeSword Posted August 19, 2004 Share Posted August 19, 2004 I like this. Reminds me a little of Ziwtra's Willed Assault. Very slick interpretation of the source tunes. The intro is a little long, but that's a minor gripe. However, I think that your drums are a bit too loud, especially the breakdown that comes in the latter half of the song. They really fill out the spectrum and sort of cover everything up. It's the reverb on the toms that's doing it. Something like this can be EASILY rememedied. I'd like to see you work on issues like that and the aforementioned ones and SERIOUSLY go for a resubmit. Private Message one of the judges about the resubmit once you clean things up (either me or Liontamer would probably be good). I'm going to say NO for now, because while those issues are not too huge, they still hold this mix back and fixing them would definitely benefit the piece.

Malcos Posted August 21, 2004 Share Posted August 21, 2004 This is a really good mix, but DarkeSword hit it on the head with what he said. With the muddy sounding low end percussion issue sorted, this mix will sound a lot cleaner and do you full justice. Right now it gets in the way and would distract the listener, preventing them from fully enjoying it. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
