Ockeroid Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Hi all, Long time visitor, this is my first remix. It's Gerudo Valley from OoT remixed in the style of Monkey Island. http://media.putfile.com/Gerudo-Valley-Monkey-Island-Remix-WIP-v0-9 Any and all comments and criticism would be loved! Quote
Gimgak Posted January 13, 2007 Posted January 13, 2007 Not bad, for a first remix. This style is really different from any other Gerudo Valley remixes I've heard. The clarinet that your using could be better, but it's not that bad. You did a pretty good amount of variation and changes for a first mix. A lot of ones that I've listened have had no variation at all. I like what you did to the melody at 1:05. Sounds pretty good. The only problems with this is that it's a little short and it may seem a little boring to some people. You should probably add some more parts or have the melody switch to another instrument at some point. It would make it a bit more interesting A good first mix. I hope to hear more! Quote
Dryer Lint Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Nice! It really reminds me a lot of Monkey Island 1&2. But it sounds very "MIDI-ish" so far and a bit mechanic in the flow of the notes. If you can get better-sounding soundfonts/samples and make it sound a bit more human and dynamic, this will be really good! Quote
SSB Posted January 14, 2007 Posted January 14, 2007 Some good ideas here. All you need is more proficiency with your program of choice, for it does sound quite midi. And a better sound library. Quote
Ockeroid Posted January 15, 2007 Author Posted January 15, 2007 I know about nothing about sound fonts and samples. The guitar track is real. But the rest is all what ever comes with Reason (possably with a little bit of reverb). Could you tell me anything, or point me were I can find out out it? Quote
Dryer Lint Posted January 15, 2007 Posted January 15, 2007 Maybe you can find something useful in the remixing forum. Quote
Blackwinged Saron Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 we've got so many techy remixes of this song...actually we've got too many in the first place. I like this, this is a nce reprieve from the heavy beats and repetativeness of the generic gerudo mix. I hope you get in with this one and i hope you do more. Quote
MusicallyInspired Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Hah! I love Monkey Island and I love Gerudo Valley. Genius mix! Quote
The Mute Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Congrats on your first attempt! Although, I'm going to have to be one of those naysayers who says there's not enough variation. It's nearly note for note except to a different beat. Part of remixing is... well... mixing! But it is a new genre, so I'll give ya that much. Kinda reggae (sp?). I'm not too familiar with Monkey Island though. *shrugs* I agree, it is MIDI-ish, so find some good samples. That'll help a lot. Quote
Devyn Posted January 22, 2007 Posted January 22, 2007 Add some reggae-style vocals, get a real guitar for the reggae chords, change the soundfont for the lead (maybe use an organ-style font?). Anyway, that's what I would do for starters. Quote
