Emunator ⚖️ Posted May 7 Posted May 7 (edited) Artist Name: Stavrin Please note it takes a while to get to the part of the track where the Into The Zone recognisable riff from the game gets played in full, please give it a chance before thinking it sounds nothing like the game music.I wanted to make a drum & bass track around that theme song and also using sound fx from the game. Thanks for listening, happy to make any changes suggested. Title Screen Into the Zone (Options) Edited 5 hours ago by Liontamer closed decision
prophetik music ⚖️ Posted May 8 Posted May 8 opens with a variety of dnb tropes. the big hit starts at 0:45, and it's an absolute jimmy dean factory. we don't really hear the melodic material from the original until 1:29. this sounds like a straight rip from 1:43 in the above video initially but then does eventually appear to add a few layers to it. what's here is the same instrument to my ears, though, and it doesn't really mix it up much outside of a few twangs. there's a big break at 2:14, and then the material from 0:23 comes back and the track goes through that stuff again. i didn't really confirm if it was an exact copy from earlier, but it's close enough that it doesn't matter. once it goes through that, there's a fadeout on some radio fx, and it's done. there's nowhere near enough comix zone in this to meet the 50% expectation - in short, this is a dnb track with a bit of comix zone in it, not a comix zone remix. reminds me of this one actually, complete with saucy larry. while i think the track is fun to listen to, it unfortunately doesn't meet our requirements for a preponderance of source material - in short, it needs more vgm referenced (and arranged) in order to be a fit for our site. i'm sure it'll do well on youtube though, it's an enjoyable track.

Liontamer ⚖️ Posted 5 hours ago Posted 5 hours ago Pretty crunchy original dnb writing to start. Oh, bummer, at :57, it's the beginning of snippets of the source audio itself being used, then it's fully brought in on top of the beats from 1:29-2:14. It'll sound like I'm saying we dislike the track when it's a fun remix (proph means it's not an arrangement). We're called OverClocked ReMix (capital R, capital M) as more of a brand name that sounded cooler than "arrangements", so people interchangably call things "remixes" here when that's not what we're actually doing. I'm sorry to say in this case here though, Stavrin, we're *not* a traditional remixing site, we're an arrangement site, as in the source material is played back or performed on different instrumentation, not directly sampled and not just note-for-note. This falls outside of our Submission Standards, but it's still an enjoyable remix for sure!
