Yakuza 0 remix of "Try and have some fun for me!!" in Drum and Bass

[Mikkel Barner Johansen]

 

#yakuza0 is one of my all-time favorite games because of the lovely protagonist Kazuma Kiryu. The gangster with a heart of gold, always had me glued to the screen for hours on end. Luckily, the soundtrack for Yakuza was also amazing. Strangely enough, my favorite track of all comes from the cabaret club! The saxophone just kicks ass. So of course, i had to do a #drumandbass #remix - I hope you enjoy (what was your favourite track?)
 

Tracks Sampled:

Try and have some fun for me!! - Yakuza 0 Soundtrack

Silver Stream - Rage Racer Soundtrack [Drum sample]

I'd like to encourage you to read the submission standards and instructions.

Under section 4. arrangement it explains what is being looked for.

Quote

• Taking the original game audio and simply adding drum loops or using an existing MIDI file and assigning new instruments does not qualify as substantial or original arrangement.

I can clearly hear that you've taken the Yakuza 0 track and added the drum loop from FIFA underneath it.  Some effects, including filtering and audio clips were also added, but that's not changing the arrangement in the way that is explained in the submission standards.  You need to be adding your own take on the arrangement, this could include (but not limited to):

Quote

• Modifying the genre, chord progression, instrumentation, rhythms, dynamics, tempo, or overall composition of the source material
• Adding original solos, transitions, harmonies, counter-melodies, lyrics, or vocals to the source material

Also the final note sounds like it got cut-off partway through it (easily fixed)

Even though what you have is cleanly produced, it is also very repetitive and could use more variation as well.  I'd strongly consider that you think about those first two points from above before you consider submitting to OCR.

I've reviewed your remix and have returned it to Work-in-Progress status, indicating that I think there are some things you still need to work on. After you work on your track and feel that it's ready for submission to OCR, please change the prefix back to Ready for Review and someone will review it again. Good luck!
