J*Rod Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Hey guys! I've been quite a fan of OC ReMix for a while, even befriending sephfire through Extra Credits. However, I do admit that my own composition skills are way below average, and my tools are limited. I did put a lot of effort into this remix, though. So I'll just get this over with: Sources: Tools: GarageBand Latest version: WIP 3 Notes: I started out just remixing the Crash 3 track, since that was the only Naughty Dog era game I played. However, I randomly found the Crash 2 theme and became hooked just as much on it. I since started incorporating them together into the same track. I don't really like GarageBand's drum kits, as I can never get the cymbals to sound right. I took the approach of making the percussion more easygoing than the sources because of these restrictions. Before I attach more to the end, I thought I'd just upload the first draft in advance. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*Rod Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 Well, I've had GarageBand up trying to think of how to continue this track. In the meantime, I've been traversing the IRCs seeking harsh criticism, or at the very least a response. Been fixing a few hiccups in the composition, and I might have a new version up at some point.

J*Rod Posted January 17, 2012 Author Share Posted January 17, 2012 Alright, I've changed a few things in the early part, and added a section to the end that includes an element from a new source: Here's the new link: http://www.filedropper.com/themindofcortexwip2 I couldn't get tindeck to upload the new file for some reason, so it's on FileDropper now.

J*Rod Posted April 17, 2012 Author Share Posted April 17, 2012 Alright then, I dumped the idea of mixing the Egypt track, instead staying with the other 2 tracks. I filled up the percussion a bit more, but it's probably the hardest for me to make sound right. Anyways, here's the latest version. Hope you like it!

AngelCityOutlaw Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Makes me sad to see no replies.... Anyway. This could benefit most from much higher quality sounds. The drums in particular are very weak. See if you can get a bass player too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*Rod Posted April 18, 2012 Author Share Posted April 18, 2012 I agree I could probably invest in better sounds, though it probably won't be for a while. But if anyone would like to help out, cause this composition is too far ahead to crash down on my watch. I'll keep working on the composition itself, and I might be able to upload a complete one soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
