I cannot say anything bad about this at all, y'know, except the ending, but you already mentioned that.

Sounds are great, and Link's scream is perfect.

GREAT JOB!

[Benjamin Briggs]

three thumbs up

[Sbeast]

The Gorons approve.

Really nice chiptune remix. Moar please.

[BLUamnEsiac]

Sounds like it's off to a good start to me. Personally, I love incomplete WIPs. With them, you get to hear the raw creativity that an artist works with.

[Rozovian]

Haha, awesome. Might have too much bass, but can't tell for sure (need to re-learn the response I'm getting from my setup).

[Chernabogue]

Really lovin' it! Keep at it, man!

[Lemonectric]

Thanks, guys. I'll keep you updated.

It originally had more bass, until I thought "what would Rozovian say?"

what can I say, I like bass :3

[M249-M4A1]

This is great! Arrangement, originality and creativity get 5 stars. Love what you did with Link's scream and the name!

Maybe at the end of the song throw in the sound of a bowling pins getting knocked over + link's scream just for kicks.

[docevil000]

This song for some reason makes me think a lot of Barrel Volcano

[Lemonectric]

You know what I haven't done in a while? Worked on this WIP. Oops.

If I don't finish this by November 3, my friend's birthday present will be a video of you all whipping me.

Feels like a spiritual successor to Ben Brigg's Tal Tal Mountain remix. Love it

Really fun remix. Glad you went with the Link scream and panting sfx over Wolf Link's "howling"... *cringe* Although I don't know, that might just crack me up too if you added a howling solo in the next section. Best use of sfx since PROTO-DOME's "Fill Me Up with Snacky Happiness," imo.

You must finish this and submit it. Or we surely will whip you.

Life of a Bowling Pin v3

Welp, it's been two years. The sound effect I needed for the ending wasn't actually available when I started this remix.

I.........never submitted this. Time for a bit of a touchup to get it prepped for real. Not quite as dramatic of a change as the Sword of Sand update, since the last version here was just a couple years old.

Let me know if I've overlooked something gross.

[Eino Keskitalo]

I approve of picking up the old tracks again!

Love the tuned percussion. Veeery nice instrumentation overall, chippy leads with the rich percussion makes for a super fun sound.

The lead levels seem a tiny bit uneven. 0:22-0:23, 0:25-0:27, 0:32. The swipe across the stereo field at 0:38, 0:52-0:53 & 0:56-0:58, 2:08 jump out of the mix as a touch loud. The higher notes of the leads at 1:27-1:42 (1:28-1:33 area) and 2:13-2:27 (2:18 onwards) too. Maybe try to soften the higher freqs on the EQ.

I enjoyed this one very much & hadn't heard it before, glad I did!

Basically what he said. This is actually a really cool mix but the synths are slightly too loud. That, or you bring everything else up a bit. I feel like the tuned percussion could be a little bit louder.

This is actually a super cool mix though. I really like this.

[timaeus222]

Yeah, I agree with Eino with the loudness of the leads, and I would also check 2:44 - 2:56 (those are kind of slight, maybe by only 0.4~1.2dB). I would fix the lead volumes to more closely match the backing and only after that would I try raising everything at once. I think the overall volume, putting the leads aside for now, is about good.

[Elder Kirby]

Tasty remix!

I have no real complaints, but the percussion does seem to be just a bit too quiet in relation to the leads. It might just be the leads being too loud, though.

Great work.

[Lemonectric]

I always take forever to edit this one.

Brought down the lead volumes a bit in all the places y'all mentioned (I think), pulled down the ultrahigh frequencies on one lead. Let me know what's what.
