mikeblastdude Posted October 7, 2012 Posted October 7, 2012 Hey everyone! Haven't been on here in a while... Anyway, I have a remix that I'd like to share with you all. This is a remix of what I guess you could call the "main theme" from Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine (I mean, you hear it for the first eight stages), with a little bit of the main menu music thrown in. I hope you all enjoy it! YouTube link: MP3 link: http://www.taposse.com/remix/MBM_-_Mean_Bean_Dreams.mp3 Quote
Arceace Posted October 9, 2012 Posted October 9, 2012 I have a ton of good memories with this game. Glad to see there are other people that like the music as well. I really liked the style that you put into this, the drums in particular were fun to listen to. The various drum breakdowns were a nice touch, and I feel that they really compliment the mix as a whole. There were only two things that I noticed. Even though there was a lot of interpretation put into the drums, I think it would help to develop the arrangement a little more. Perhaps it would be best to put in a little solo section, or play with the melodies a little more. It may even help to give some counter harmonies to help make the song sound more interesting. The other thing that I noticed is that the plucked lead synths that you are using sound a little dead. I really like the style your going for, but I honestly think that those synths are holding the mix back. It may be a good idea to play around with them a little and give them a little more energy, or perhaps add another lead synth later on to develop the sound scape. Don't get me wrong though. I love the style you've chosen! Those drums are by far the best highlight of the song. Hope to hear more from you! Quote
mikeblastdude Posted October 9, 2012 Author Posted October 9, 2012 Thanks for the advice Arceace! I'm still kind of an amateur when it comes to remixing, so I'm always open to constructive criticism, and I definitely appreciate it. Glad you enjoyed it overall. Quote
Magnum Octopus Posted October 16, 2012 Posted October 16, 2012 Yeah, I remember playing countless hours of this. Good times. (Still a Puyo Pop ripoff, but a Puyo Pop ripoff with a catchy soundtrack, so it's all good.) I do agree that the mix could use a bit more depth, maybe adding some different harmonies to tie the drums into everything else a little more. It's a great start, though. Quote
