Liontamer Posted January 25, 2007 Share Posted January 25, 2007 Remixer name: D'n'L Experience Real Name: Lucas and Dan Email: MMmemployee@aol.com Website: http://www.myspace.com/extremeshreding -------------------------------------------------- Songs remixed: Super Mario Bros.(over and underworld) Mega Man 2(Crashman, I believe) Sonic 2(Sky Chase) Mike Tyson's Punch-out(training scene) -------------------------------------------------- My Comments: This re-mix was done as close to memory as possible. We, of course, had to refresh our memories by playing the games. We recorded this in one night in a basement. There are some(more than enough) errors. But the least I can say is that every instrument is real. No midi. More to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 off the bat, the guitar tone and performance need some work. the bass guitar should be much louder. I can barely hear it. Aside from that, there's little to no arrangement to speak of. This is just a simplistic three-piece cover. we gotsta have teh rearrangements.

Liontamer Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 http://www.zophar.net/nsf/smb1.zip - Track 1 ("Overworld BGM"), Track 2 ("Underworld BGM") & Track 6 http://www.zophar.net/nsf/megaman2.zip - Track 10 ("Crashman Stage") http://project2612.org/download.php?id=37 - "Sky Chase Zone" http://www.zophar.net/nsf/punchout.zip - Track 20 I was generous throwing this on the panel, because y'all played this live. But... The overall texture is empty and bland (punch up that bass), the timing between the players is too loose, and the interpretive aspect of the arrangement's pretty small. There aren't even meaningful transitions (e.g. 1:13) from section to section. Fadeout endings aren't instant death, but one can tell when they're appropriate; this isn't one of those cases. There's some attention paid to panning, but not enough to compensate for any of the issues. Needs meatier and more substiantial textures, tighter playing, and way way WAY more interpretation. These various arrangement seperated would be bleh; I dunno why merely gluing them together would make them any better. Merely offering basic backing parts underneath the verbatim melodies is BORING and comes a dime a dozen. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted February 17, 2007 Share Posted February 17, 2007 Unfortunately I have to agree with Larry. We can't really accept "covers" here - in other words, no remixes where the original tunes were merely ported over to different instruments. Harmonic additions/changes, variation on the melody (or melodies in this case), solos, new sections, interesting transitions/bridges, intros, endings, all that kind of stuff is preferred. Plus the performance issues as mentioned are holding this back. It is great to hear people playing live, and if you listen to remixes we have posted, we don't have an ultra-high standard for recording. But this needs to be stepped up a few notches before it can make it on to the site. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
