NyxTheShield Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Not technically a remix, or if it is a heavily conservative one,it's for a project that needed a very accurate version of it: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/600839 What do you think about it?

Nonamer Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 It certainly is a conservative remake, but I like that you kept the original ambiance of the source. For me, the added instruments come too late. I start off listening and think "Oh this guy just remade Dire Dire Docks," but it wasn't until a full minute into the song that I realize that this is a more substantial remix. I'd maybe cut or shorten the first loop of the source to bring the other instruments in sooner. The comments are spot on in the link with regards to the the cymbals. Tone them down just a bit. Nice song, bro (or sis)! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Drums and Strings are in the original game aswell hahaha, the strings plays when you are in water and dthe drums when you are in dry land (it had a kind of interactive audio, pretty cool :3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skrypnyk Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 It is very conservative. I'd say it's more of a remake then it is a remix, cause I'm not sure what you've done to the writing of the source to really make it your own. It does sounds nice for what's there. Strings could probably stand to be a bit more humanized. My grip is your drums are fuhhhggggly. They serve no purpose to the song. The hats could be passable to keep a little chugging going, but your kick is too random and sporadic sounding, it really kills the feel of the song. The reverse cymbal and crashes are fine, they need a bit more eqing and mixing done to them though. Your outtro is super weak sauce too.
