OceansAndrew Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 Remixer name: DR.WELI Homepage: www.soundcloud.com/weli UserID: 49169 (waiting for activation) Submission Information Game: Megaman 4 Remix name: Foiling Dr.Wily Song arranged: Last Boss Own comments about the mix: I've always wanted to make a VGM remix and finally took the effort to do so. I chose the last boss theme from my favorite NES game Megaman 4. The actual track is basically just a 10 second loop so I tried my best to expand on that theme and take the composition a bit further. The genre is drum and bass which was a natural choice for an epic last boss track. Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 lol @ the song title. The arrangement is excellent; taking turns decontructing and then expanding upon the source thrack. The chip sound is a little weird at first, as it sounds like you just took the source and added stuff, but it's actually way cleaner sounding chips than the original, and there are plenty of spatial effects added, similar to Halc, or his alter ego, Benny Briggz would do. The beat foundation is a little repetitive, but a lot of little bits get added on to keep it from getting too stale. Production is solid throughout, with good panning and the flow the track is solid as well. This is really nice, definitely would like to hear more work by you.

DragonAvenger Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Andrew's assessment is pretty spot on. I definitely liked where you took this, and the overall pace is executed pretty well. I think it would have been nice to have a bit more of a changeup in the backing patterns and drums, but the piece still manages to keep interest, and seems shorter than the 4 minutes that it is. Kind of a silly name, though YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted July 30, 2012 Share Posted July 30, 2012 not a lot to say. I enjoyed the song, the chorus-y bit at 1:56 was really epic. great first mix, and looking forward to hearing more from you. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 There's a really wicked energy in this piece that I dig. Chip stuff is solid with the right amount of effects. Great treatment of the source; I agree with halc, the chorus is hot. Non-chip synths are really hot too. Solid stuff, Doctor. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
