SZRC - The Sonic Zone Remix Competition 2014 [TheGuitahHeroe wins - complete ZIP available!]

[wildfire]

I still don't have anything written that I really love, but I think I know what direction I want to take the song in now. Hopefully writing Latin House genre music isn't too different from writing regular house music. </spoilers>

Hahaha! That is totally Endless Mine! That is awesome. I'm going to hear those lyrics every time I hear that theme now. Kind of like when I hear the MM2 Wily music I always hear "makin' the bacon" now. I've caught myself singing that more than once. Thanks Brandon

[Troyificus]

While I love the Metropolis theme I'm hating having to work with it. I specifically chose a source for myself that I had no experience with whatsoever to prevent over-familiarity becoming a burden and that's exactly what's happening at the moment *le sigh*

[Cash]

My remix currently has about 30 seconds of a Marble Madness source in the intro, is that too much? What are the rules about incorporating non-competition sources?

That's fine, so long as your song doesn't primarily become a remix of a non-competition source. Keep the majority of your remix the two Zone themes!

So I'm progressing now, I just accelerated the rhytm a bit and my song idea turned out nicely! Hope Brandon is progressing too

[Brandon Strader]

no x.x i kinda... don't... feel like musicing

Come on man, you can do it! You got Butt Hill, channel some of those butt powers!

[Brandon Strader]

I do appreciate that a lot, I'm just in a funk, and it's really cold I might hold off until Friday night into Saturday and try to finish recording it before Sunday.

[Ryan Jobson]

Is anyone close to completion just out of curiosity? I'm just wrapping things up with my mix right now, should be all done in about an hour. I'm really pleased with how mine turned out, and it's even better I finished early because I will basically have no time to work on the mix from Thurs - Sunday. I'm very excited to hear everyone's mixes!

And come on Brandon! We need you! What would Nicolas Cage do?

This is a dangerous question to ask

And that's how Brandon went to federal prison for trying to steal the Declaration of Independence. He had no chance to grab it and be gone in 60 seconds, and the feds were on him like a swarm of bees.

One of my favorite tracks from the Generations soundtrack. Although I somehow never noticed the Endless Mine similarities X.X

Don't forget the time he dressed up as a bear and punched out that woman while singing Rocket Man!

[Eino Keskitalo]

Come on Brandon, you can do it! Butt Hill and Bridge Zone go really well together. Let's meet in the finals.

My song went in a completely different direction than I intended. I hope people will like it.

[wildfire]

I have about 1 minute of material now, and things seem to be coming together a bit better. I still need to write lyrics (or even just come up with a topic!) but I know what melody I'll be using. I think tonight will be spent filling out the rest of the song and writing basic melodic parts. I'm aiming for about 3.5-4 minutes, so it'll be a pretty short mix by my standards.

[SuperiorX]

My arrangement is basically done, it just needs a lot of polish now. I'll finish it up on Saturday.

I think we've heard from most people... Arrow, Xenonetix, Disambiguity, how are you guys doing?

[Rexy]

What about Max-E? I haven't seen him post in here either... unless you've gotten statuses outside of OCR's forum?

Disambiguity's one of my close friends from college. He said he's doing ok and is on track to be done by Friday night (I think) because he's busy all Saturday.

Yeah I've been chatting with him on FB. He was really excited earlier in the week. I need to check on how he's doing tho
