DKC3 GBA - Waterworld Remix

[youthboy14]

I was fooling around in FL Studio and decided to cook this up. It's a soft, somber ambient remix of the underwater theme of the GBA port of DKC3.

I just made this without really cleaning it off, so don't expect perfection. At all.

Here it is (NOT NEWEST VERSION!)

Oh, and if you're wondering about the title, this song is a follow-up to another remix I made of Aquatic Ambience.

[Chris ~ Amaterasu]

It could be polished and the theme expanded a bit, but I really liked the atmosphere going and the choice of instrumentation.

Would love to hear a finished version =)

Thanks. I just whipped this up without really going back to it, so stuff like EQing and note velocities were overlooked.

UPDATE!

- The guitar was given slightly less attack, and the flange effect was eliminated.

- The drum notes were given velocity changes.

- The pitch change note in the flute section was eliminated in place of two regular notes.

- The flute was replaced with bells after the flute solo.

Another update. This time I played around with the note velocities on the piano and guitar, and added more bell sections throughout the piece. I also added a bell note with a gross beat to give it a "fwoosh" effect. You'll understand it better if you listen.

You're on the right track. I'd have it progress a little bit faster. Personally, I've gotten sick of what's going on by the time it gets changed up.

The samples around 3:40 sound pretty fake, and I liked what you did with the tune in this little section better in the first version.

I like the bells, but maybe... more of them?

Keep it up.

Okay, another update. I really need to slow down with these things.

First off, I cut about a minute of it to make it progress faster, and the tempo was slighty - EVER so slighty - raised. I added a few more bell sections and changed around one of the patterns. Also, the flute was changed into bells. I also reverted back to the original note pattern on the then-flute section. Also, at around 3:30, I changed the bell notes around. Bells, bells, bells.

Also, I'd like a suggestion for a title. For now, it's titled "Sudden Remergence", but if anyone has a better title, I'd like to hear it.

I just tinkered around a bit with this next update. Changed a few notes, but nothing really noticable.

I enjoyed it, but at 1:15 when the bass kicks in the whole volume drops way too low. it changes the flow for me. other than that it's a nice one, kind of an up-beat ambiance.

i enjoyed the light bell during the piano bits, without it the piece would be boring.

You mean the pad? Cause I did some tests and saw that it did decrease the volume a bit.

This newest version is really good. After 3:00, it's superb. It actually made me smile and snapped me out of my three-day depression. Thanks.

Oh wow, that's amazing. I feel important

I finally went back to this thing.

Tempo raised up a bit.

The synth-string was altered a bit (in terms of sound and volume and whatnot). Also, I experimented with panning by having it sweep from side to side.
