fil_razorback Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Hi OCR, recently I've been trying to do my first remix. I started listening a track and I tried to imagine what I would do with it but the only thing I could think about was "hell, this is perfect as it is ; why would I remix it ?" So I took another track, and another and another... Then I understood that "remix" doesn't mean "improve", it's more of a personnal interpretation of the tune. But still I had no idea what to do with my songs :/ That's why I decided to listen to...professional remixing . There are tons of game which remix their own tunes and I think it could be a great source of inspiration for all of us. Here are the ones I found and listened (I'm afraid it's not allowed to link the official mp3s): Popolocrois Monogatari Pietro's Journey <=> Flight Of The Flyer Yacht <=> The Beginning Of An Adventure (PM 2) Wild ARMs Into The Wilderness <=> You'll never be alone no matter where you go (WA2) <=> Advanced Third Whistle Version(WA3) <=> The 4tth Detonator (WA4) Yoshi's Story Nearly the whole soundtrack Please, tell me some more I'll update the list ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Compyfox Posted June 7, 2006 Share Posted June 7, 2006 Halo 1 and Halo 2 Street Fighter 2 till SSF2T -> SF3 Street Fighter Alpha (all series) Wipeout 2 has a remix of "Message" from Wipeout 1 on it (Windows Version). Should I mention the Beatmania and Dance Dance Revolution games? Yeah I probably should. Final Fatasy is also the spawn of remixes (FF8 had parts copied of FF7, FF9 had parts of FF6 till FF8) Speaking of FF, Castlevania also recycles 80% of their tunes Super Metroid -> Metroid Prime FF Adventure (Seiken Densetsu) -> Sword of Mana (Shinyaku Seiken Densetsu) Zelda Series -> no comment Sonic Adventure - Twinkle Part Racing has the same theme as Sonic (some tunes are remixed in later games, too) Metal Gear - > oh yeah, the more games, the more themes are "remixed" and "reused" Contra Shattered Soldier (Shin Contra) -> Used themes from all earlier games. Especially Contra 3 and Contra Alien Rebels I guess this should cover "some" stuff. Just listen into sequels or remakes of games (Pokemon for example) and you have your "professional remixes". Unless you mean professional released CDs, then I know some, too: Parasite Eve Remixes - DnB and Techno/Industrial remixes of the PE OST Castlevania Remixes - This is the only CD "I" call remix CD. The tracks are so messed up that you can barely recognise them, but you still know it'S "Castlevania" Zelda - Ocarina of TIme Orchestrated - no comments Chrono Trigger - Original Sound Version vs. Brink of Time (also no comment) Just to mention a few.
