Anorax Posted January 10, 2012 Posted January 10, 2012 My intention was for the whole series, I'm pretty dedicated to getting songs from every game on the album.If anything, we should leave them out of it. SMK has 4 accepted remixes and MK64 has 5. DS has one, and none of the others have any at all. Essentially, I'm against leaving any games off, but I'm VERY strongly opposed to just making it focus on SNES and N64. Frankly, in my opinion, the best of the series' music isn't on either of them, besides Mario Circuit and the two Rainbow Road songs. well, you have to remember, those are the oldest games, and generally has an easier melody to work with.

pokemoneinstein Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Not true, it depends on how conservative you are. In order to be a ReMix, all you need is a clear influence from the original. You can vary as much as you want, as long as it's identifiable as the source. What can make melodies difficult is the composition, not the platform they're on. Sure, the more advanced the console, the more advanced the whole song can be, but the melody is only one aspect of it. It's all the backing, effects, and percussion that makes most simple songs complex, and if you include them in a remix the way they are in an original, it's deemed too conservative. Quote
Chimpazilla Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 I started a remix of Maple Treeway a couple of months ago, it's been on the back burner, but maybe I'm interested? Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 11, 2012 Author Posted January 11, 2012 Absolutely, try picking it up again. That would be great! Quote
Chimpazilla Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 OK I will. I'm 90% done with a Ganon remix (which I will post on ocr shortly), then I'll brush it up and see what can be done with it! Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Big news, everybody, WE ARE NOW RECRUITING! Everybody be sure to claim the track you want before it's too late! Quote
Frederic Petitpas Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I'd do Rainbow Road. If this project does take its flight and if you want me to do it, come PM me. That'd be a nice guitar song. Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Absolutely! N64/GCN version, I assume? I was also thinking that there could be multiple versions of it. look at the Theme of Love in the FFIV album. Quote
Hunter1890 Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 (My first real post on this forum!) I would love to take a crack at Toad's Turnpike and maybe mix in some of the melody from Koopa City (Neo-Bowser City). I need a goal and some motivation to remix something and this project is it! Quote
AlmightyArceus Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I would love to do the original Mario Circuit from Super Mario Kart It's one of my favorites; it's so quirky and fun! I'm totally down for this! Quote
BrothaDom Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I'm not particularly talented in actually remixing, but I'm extremely willing to add spoken word type vocals, or like shouts and stuff. If anyone would like that kind of input, just PM me! Quote
Pavos Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I'd like to do the SNES Rainbow Road. And can I do a Koopa Beach/Vanilla Lake mix instead of a Choco Island/Vanilla Lake mix? Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 Whoever ends up doing Rainbow Road could include a couple of lines of the lyrics by Rhymes with Stomach. That would be hilarious. Quote
Pavos Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Whoever ends up doing Rainbow Road could include a couple of lines of the lyrics by Rhymes with Stomach. That would be hilarious. You've added to me to GBA version of Rainbow Road, but I want to do the SNES version. Could you fix that before there will be misunderstandings? Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 You've added to me to GBA version of Rainbow Road, but I want to do the SNES version. Could you fix that before there will be misunderstandings? Whoops, so sorry. I must have clicked the wrong one. I'll fix that right away. Quote
Chimpazilla Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Pokie, do you have specific rules on this? As in how many songs can be mixed together? The remix that I have started actually already contains three themes (maple treeway, dk summit and kart selection screen). Is that ok as long as the main theme is the one selected? Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 That's more than fine, as long as Maple Treeway is dominant. Or if you want to have DK Summit and Maple Treeway share the limelight, that's also great! The only real guidelines I have are that you run a mix by myself, Brushfire, and Electrolisystem before submitting it to the judges panel, and that you put your best efforts into the mix. I hope (as I'm sure Brushfire and Electro do, too) that this album can become an official OCR release, but we can't do that without a solid number of OCR-acceptable tracks. Quote
Chimpazilla Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 What is the timeframe? I will finish my other project, then brush this puppy up and shoot you a wip in a pm. Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 No deadline yet. I don't think enough tracks have been claimed to set one. I think as of right now, remixers can finish up anything they're working on and clear some space for their Road Rage mixes. So for now, you can get working as soon as you want to, but don't feel pressured to finish by a certain time. Quote
BrothaDom Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Oh, on another note: I don't know how these remix projects work, but, I have a friend who may be interested in this project who isn't a member...is it alright if I recruit his help? Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 If he's willing to commit spending a ton of time perfecting a remix, then I see no problem. But he has to be able to commit to it. We want the majority of these songs to be up to OCR standards. Quote
2manygentlemen Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 I'm no veteran, but I do love Mario Kart. Would it be alright with you if I join in and do Airship Fortress? Or Waluigi Pinball, if it has to be a song from your list. (If this is something that is for the far-ish future, I could cover both, I bet. Your call, though.) Quote
pokemoneinstein Posted January 16, 2012 Author Posted January 16, 2012 I'll put you down for Airship Fortress. The more the merrier! Quote
BrothaDom Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Thanks, I'll check it out and let you know. Quote
Anorax Posted January 16, 2012 Posted January 16, 2012 Unfortunately I won't have my computer for a little while, but the people to PM for stuff are brushfire and PKEinstein... Quote
