# ReMix Info

* Name of game(s) ReMixed: Midnight Resistance

* Name of individual song(s) ReMixed: Level 01 Theme (4:03)

* This is the first remix I've decided to submit to OC as all of my previous work was totally unrelated to videogaming. Somewhat inspired by this old C64 port of arcade machine of yesteryear. I've always had a softspot for this game and it's audio for some unknown reason. Tinman worked on audio for a few other C64 games, this being the best of the bunch IMHO. Ripped the SID down, resampled, and carved up once more to give one of my favourite level themes a more stompy, abrasive and downright dirty feel. Prizes for any C64headz who can guess the 1989 Thalamus game that inspired the drum re-programming ;)

I highly doubt anyone has rejigged anything from this pile of pixels before, so here is the original SID file.

Lastly - The file.

Thanks guys.

eep. so the synth quality is in the john. really rough. on top of that, the pulsing for the first :45 is really grating.

again at 2:21 that synth is really killing my ears.

i'm having trouble focusing on the arrangement because the synths are so harmful to my ears.

clearly you're going for a lo-fi sound, but try to do it a little less abrasively. THis is just really really harsh on the ears.

on second listen, the arrangement is also quite repetitive. this should have got the form letter, so i'm gonna spare my fellow man here.

NO OVERRIDE

http://www.c64unlimited.net/games/m/Midnight%20Resistance/midnight_resistance.sid - Subtune 6/9

At least things picked up at :48 with a measure of clarity from the lead, because this intro was terrible. No need the stretch things out that long, especially since it just recycled the first few seconds of the source tune's original. Way too lo-fi. This was frequently just drums over the patterns of the original, but I wouldn't have went NO Override on it. There are some rearrangement ideas to be found, which is why I wouldn't N.O., but still not much innovation.

NO
