OceansAndrew Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 (edited) Your ReMixer name: Magellanic Your real name: Liam Charalambous Your email address: Your userid: 45748 Name of game(s) arranged: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Hyperstone Heist Name of arrangement: Turtle in the Shredder's Shadow Name of individual song(s) arranged: Outside Shredder's Hideout Comments: Kyle's TMNT project its shaping up to be amazing, so am definitely glad to be part of it. When looking through the source tracks, it was suprising to see that "Outside Shredder's Hideout" hadn't already been claimed. Its a ridiculously fast track but I could definitely hear the potential of realising this is a heavy rock tune. The most arduous thing with arranging this was working out the lead lines as the source was so damn fast but hey, that's what time stretch is for right?! Would just like to say a thank you to Mr. OA for providing me with some kickass drum samples. The drums lacked punch, so by layering the samples OA provided with some of the existing ones I really really hope they have that KO you like to hear from a drum track. Definitely found the production on this one a challenge as its pretty packed, but regardless I'm really happy with the result. I hope Kyle is too. Thanks for taking the time to listen!

DragonAvenger Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 This is pretty sweet, and a ton of fun to listen to overall. The arrangement has a ton of energy, and I the connections are very obvious to pick out. Really loved some of the soloing you had going on; the parts really played with with the original elements you had going on. If I had a critique I would note that the some of the sequencing in the soloing isn't quite as smooth as it could be and there are some slight timing issues in the guitar. That slide up around 1:23 has a weird cutoff, as well. None of the issues really hold back the track, in my opinion. Nice work overall!

OceansAndrew Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Some weird minor phasing when the guitars and synth double each other, mainly because i personally feel that the guitar should be louder than the synth, but otherwise this is pretty solid. Good energy, very interpretive arrangement that feels cohesive, and man, those drums sound like POWER. The rhythm tone is great, and I think all of the sounds are gelling pretty well.

Liontamer Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 I thought this was way more liberal due to the soloing than what was implied in the breakdown. I needed more than 110 seconds of overt source usage for this to pass on the arrangement side. :23-1:11, 1:12-1:16, 1:18-1:23, 1:35.25-1:45.25, 1:49-1:55, 2:32-2:43.5, 2:48-2:53, 3:16-3:39 = 112.5 seconds or 51.14% Honestly, this got pretty liberal, so even picking apart what I could was enough of a chore. That said, it squeaked by at least, and there's probably some other connections I just couldn't get a bead on. With that out of the way, I thought the performance ended up sounding pretty intense, and there was a level of polish here in the performance and the instrumentation that I've definitely not heard with any of your past arrangements. Not much more to say other than keep up the improvement, Liam! YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 The horns were pure cheese, but with everything else sounding so good, it's pretty easy to get past. In the right mindset, it adds to the manic pace. Yeah this is a pretty hard song not to like, there's just so much energy in it. Mixing could have been cleaner but whatev.
