Moombahton - Kraids Hideout

[DicloniusAnimeX]

Hey guys

I tried making a Moombahton-like Remix of the Kraids Hideout Theme from Metroid Zero Mission for the Game Boy Advance (:

Let me know what you think about it (:

Hooray for more moombahton There should be a moombahton remix for a Shantae game. Tagging this to listen to later.

Hm well right off the bat I have a few big notes.

Firstly, the arrangement is extremely straightforward, it's almost 100% the track from Zero Mission MIDI'd into slightly different instruments and then dropped onto a beat. I feel like a remix should be adding some original elements and changing it up a little bit, at least a bit.

Second, I don't think your tempos or time-signatures are matched up properly. I'm not entirely sure if this is intentional or not, but the way you have it arranged it's like a 3/4 Moombahton beat, which....doesn't really work in my opinion. Kraid's theme (here's where I might be wrong, but just from what I know) is 4/4 but the majority of the song is triplets. You have the beat aligned to the triplets but as quarter notes and it's giving this really weird polyrhythm vibe that I don't think is intentional.

That being said, if that's what you're doing deliberately, then it's a very interesting way to arrange a remix.

I think personally you'd be better off changing the tempo of the original piece to match the moombahton beat, but that's just what would sound better to me.

Thank you very much for the critcism.

I will really try to implement these tips for my upcoming tracks, I'm pretty sure they will help me to get better in chiptune producing (:
