epicpremonition Posted March 9, 2011 Posted March 9, 2011 Hey guys, I recovered my HDD recently and found my remix (conservative) of a Gaiares song from the Sega Genesis/Megadrive I must have made this about 2-3 years ago and my God! only 2 songs on OCRemix!! 2!!!!!!!!!! Anyway, it has a few extra touches in it to keep it slightly alive lol, I think this game had some AWESOME music! I wish more people played the game http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrMyfwP0bXY Enjoy it and please check out my other songs on my channel thanks guys, awesome site!! Quote
CJthemusicdude Posted March 13, 2011 Posted March 13, 2011 So I decided to give this a listen cuz I didn't want to see a 0 reply float away. The source for this is "Mission 4" for anyone else who doesn't know the source. First off, I do like this as an enhancement of the original. It's a nice listen and very true to the source. however that's the main problem, it's way too conservative. For it to truly be a remix there's probably gonna have to be a little more in the risk-taking department. (That means a lot coming from me trust me ) Slow down some spots, speed up some spots, throw in some fun filters or effects, etc. Do more with the melody lines rather than just copy them. Also, I like that you took the tempo slower but it loses some of the energy of the original so you have to make up for that with style The main glaring problem to me is the drums. They sound nice but they don't change throughout the entire song. Mix it up a little. I really like the transition at 0:11 - 0:12 but that piano sample also gets old quick in the mix. Maybe switch the piano sample with a bass synth or another sample at that transition or another. The last big thing is that guitar..ish sound at 1:46, that's gotta be changed, it just sounds out of place and is a bit too quiet to be a lead sound. And there was that sweet sounding stuff happening right before it that it's kind of a let down when that sound comes in. Anyways those are my two cents, take my advice with a grain of salt cuz I'm nowhere near expert-level. Hope this mix turns out awesome Quote
