Emunator Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Previous Decision "Ok, here it is. Yes - it was exactly what one of the judges said it was. Let's just say this was one of the most embarrassing mistakes I've made as a producer." Original submission: Your ReMixer name: Parker Walker (I hope that my previous remixes' remixer name can be changed from SPIRAL_SYSTEM to Parker Walker, if not, then use SPIRAL_SYSTEM. Thanks!) Your real name Parker Walker Your email address Your website(s) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCW1jycmYfDZYXPnL6W9DEtQ Your userid (number, not name) on our forums, found by viewing your forum profile: SPIRAL_SYSTEM Streets of Rage 2 Can't stop me! Go Straight For this mix, I took a more conservative approach, because all the elements of the original are very "90s". Hence, I kept the 90s feel, yet didn't go for a total FM sound like my other SOR2 remix because I think that, honestly, Yuzo did it the best on this one and I can't surpass him. Instead, I went for 90s house feel using 90s production techniques, arrangements and sounds. I even used the legendary JD-990 synthesizer (produced at the time) and samples from the TR 909 to give extra authenticity and 90s feel. All the bass sounds are from Chip MD, a Sega FM emulator. All in all, it's a re-imagining of what the song would have been using state of the art production techniques at the time, and a quite conservative homage on this classic v-game track. I hope the fans enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted November 11, 2023 Author Share Posted November 11, 2023 @Chimpazilla You were right! Parker was able to get this resubmitted within an hour of reading the decision and it addresses my only beef (pun intended) with the first submission. So glad this didn't end up lingering in rejection purgatory over that. THERE'S THE BEEF! Rexy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Was a YES before, so I’m still on board now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted November 11, 2023 Share Posted November 11, 2023 Was it the room-correcting software left on during render? I have made that mistake myself. (In fact that mistake is SO easy to make that I decided to ditch the room-correcting software and apply treatments to the room and re-calibrate my ears instead.) Low end still sounds a little anemic to me, but this is much mo betta. I still think a little touch of multiband compression below 125Hz would be super nice, but this gets the job done. I still love the track! YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSim Posted November 12, 2023 Share Posted November 12, 2023 It's absolutely dripping in 90s aesthetic. Completely nailed the vision for the track, and it's great to get a resubbed version with the bass restored. The titular "Can't stop me" vocal line is mixed very strangely still - hard-right panned and very quiet - so it doesn't have the impact in the track it probably should. That "YEEEEAHHHH" at the end is kinda odd too - I think I'd have used it as the last note plays at 3:15, rather than waiting 2 more seconds, but there ya go. Regardless, it's a great track that accomplishes what it sets out to do. Thanks for the resub! YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
