Hello everyone! Its been a while...

I'm finally back to making music after some technical difficulties with my old compy.

Now, here's a little smooth jazz for yo azz!

This is a remix of the race results theme from Mario Kart 64 and Mario Kart 7. I'm trying to use elements from both sources, but since they are different keys, its a little difficult....

I might end up mixing in a few other tunes to add variety.

So far, I have a little over a minute of material, I just looped it a few times. I don't plan on leaving it like that though.

Check it out.

Let me know what you think.

Love the song title! Really smooth jazz, excellent work! Repetitive, as you said and plan on changing, which doesn't bother because it's nice to listen to over and over again. It sounds a little on the quite side though. The bass is great, and I'm liking the arrangement.

Good job dude! 8-)

Bump.

Finished version is up! https://soundcloud.com/user7666413/mario-kart-64-duh-winning

I wanted to add a little more to this one, but I've been having a hard time coming up with ideas that wouldn't stray too far away from the source tune. Not to mention, it's becoming increasingly difficult to find time for doing remixes lately. :puppyeyes:

I don't know if I want to submit this or not, so I'll just postt it up for Mod review.

The piano at 0:39 is mechanical in terms of velocity response, and a dissonance in the EP isn't working well with the synth brassy lead at 0:59, 1:04, 1:09, 1:14, 2:18, 2:23, 2:28, and 2:33. I think there, the top EP note should be a half step down.

1:19 staccato strings are a little on the weak side. The attack is a little too quick, which makes it sound kind of fake, especially when paired with that synth arp in the background. Maybe you can try increasing the velocity a bit on the strings, or shifting the pattern left a marginal amount to line up the beginning of the actual sound with a bar (after the transient ends). 1:21 guitar isn't completely convincing on the velocities, either, so try adjusting the timings a bit for humanization and the velocities some more.

1:44 piano is mechanical as well but in velocities, not velocity response.

Last thing is that 2:38 ends with a bad chord that clashes with the predicted chordal feel of the last note, leftover from the bells/EP earlier.

Nice atmosphere overall, and it'd be a great sub if it gets on OCR.
