Lashmush Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 (edited) EDIT (20-10-23): Updated the mix and master as it was very kick and bass heavy. Should be a more balanced sound now. Updated spooki sounds here A dark psytrance remix of "Jaffars Theme" and "Final Battle" from Prince of Persia for the SNES. A sampled reference from the original Apple II version of Jafar conjuring forth the hourglass is also present in the song though that's more of a soundeffect than any sort of musical score. Original composers for the SNES OST are Toshiya Yamanaka and Tetsuya Nakan. The small sampled bit was a melodic sting for the Apple II version written by Francis Mechner, as far as I can discern, alternatively Tom Rettig who did the sound. I worked myself into kind of a burnout mode with this one which made the song hard to really progress in any meaningful way and complete. I really wanted it done now for Halloween so I focused a lot on it these past weeks but also kind of got worn out since I'm also studying at a university now. However, this still marks quite a leap forward in my psytrance skills. I have much yet to learn about effectwork and really adding proper flourish to my tracks but this one still became quite rich and elaborate. Enjoy and happy halloween. c: Edited October 24, 2020 by Lashmush I am not a clever man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lashmush Posted October 24, 2020 Author Share Posted October 24, 2020 Mfw I forget how to submit to OCR and just post a link in a forum. It's been emailed now at least and luckily after the rebalanced mix and master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronald Poe Posted October 25, 2020 Share Posted October 25, 2020 Because I like Darkpsy as a style, I decided to listen to your remix. I've never played Prince of Persia so I'm not familiar at all with the sources. The sound design is really cool and the atmosphere is sweet in a trippy way. It was a little long but ultimately stayed interesting. The kick was less present than usual but I found that a nice touch. You may need a second opinion but overall, good job.

Lashmush Posted October 27, 2020 Author Share Posted October 27, 2020 Yeah, I definitely need more training when it comes to mixing and mastering, regardless of genre. It's quite difficult and studio-head makes it very hard to do efficiently. Lengthwise, it's a bit long for OCRs recommended 2-7 mins but I wanted it to sort of be as on par with the psytrance and goa stuff released in general where they have rather long intro and outros for mixing purposes. If you're interested, you can hear the original tracks here in their proper SNES glory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
