zircon Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Been rejected lately? Feeling bad after remix #5 is still getting lukewarm criticism from the judges? Does it just seem like you're not improving? Check this out... One of my good friends from home just revealed that he still has all my old anime remixes, vg remixes, and originals. So, if any of you are interested, I've made these available to the public. Here are ALL my old video game remixes, prior to "Faunaphonic" (DKC project). Enjoy! Or... perhaps not Final Fantasy 6 - "Hyper Lab" (Devil's Lab remix) Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - "Inverted Terror" (Boss remix) Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - "Mystic Clash" (boss/final boss) Phantasy Star 4 - "Oblivion" (various themes) Phantasy Star 2 - "The Fiery Salute" (battle theme, various) Phantasy Star 2 - "Righteous Palace" (dungeon theme) Castlevania - "Night Stalker" (Vampire Killer) Chrono Trigger - "Fall of Man" (Magus) Lufia - "Fall of the Legends" (forget which theme) Phantasy Star 4 - "Aerial Fortress" (dungeon 2) Phantasy Star 4 - "Motavian Battlefield" (this was the 3rd resub - battle theme remix) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villainelle Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Wow. It's inspiring comparing these to your current stuff, thanks for sharing. You had some great choices of source tunes. The FFMQ ones really deserve a rehaul, such a great OST that doesn't get enough remix love. Oh, this is weird...did you have a WIP of the PSIV Oblivion mix in this forum years ago, or maybe on VGMix? I've definitely heard this somewhere before... Any plans to cover any of these tunes again someday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 I'll probably redo at least 5 of those - maybe not in the same style, but the same source tunes... eg. most of the Phantasy Star material. Mystic Clash, Aerial Fortress, Motavian Battlefield, Oblivion, and Fall of the Legends were all on VGMix 2. They are well over one year old though.

Fishy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Rofl, thanks you so much for these. I'm sure this will boost people self-confidence a lot. We all had to start from somewhere eh? Mind you, the ideas are cool enough, production could be better though. NO, RESUBMIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 23, 2007 Author Share Posted March 23, 2007 At least three are MIDI rips, by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Haha this is awesome. I've recently been going through a lot of the old judge decisions from remixers lookin at the decisions. Some of your first few Phantasy Star mixes got rejected in like 8 word sentences. If your gonna redo any of these redo the lufia one for god sakes, it the song from the fortress of doom. Darangen has remixed it 3 times. My mix for the C2C proj is mainly that theme too, its an incredible source tune. Thanks for sharing these.

Fishy Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 You can credit it to Andrew Aversa (but use "dj zircon") "dj zircon"? In a way I'm glad that didn't get accepted. You would have been "dj zircon" forever... Thats just.... weird... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 I feel so much better now. You're a hero for letting this out in public, Zircon. Thank you. Really. EDIT: Hey, that Lufia one is actually pretty good. The volume levels could be better and the so could the drums, but overall, I actually liked it... LOL, I'll never be a better remixer than I am now, will I... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishy Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Escariot/Mods, please remove the SM64 mix link ASAP please. I didn't spot that Miszou, good call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Rod Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Just curious, how long ago did u make the first one of those remixes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted March 24, 2007 Author Share Posted March 24, 2007 I made my first ReMix (I use the term loosely) after Christmas, 2002. Most of those others were created during 2003. Faunaphonic, my first REAL remix that could have actually passed on OCR, wasn't completed until early 2004 if I remember correctly. I didn't actually get accepted on to OCR until July, 2004.

The Instrumental Light Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 some of this stuff is pretty cool! however, comparing the mixes you do now and the ones you did back then, i'd say that you do alot better now than before. in some of these mixes, there were quite a few problems. you've definitely improved since then, but i am very impressed that your first mixes were as good as they are. Awesome stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnip Posted March 24, 2007 Share Posted March 24, 2007 Who made the FFMQ sound track anyways, I remember the game itself was made in the usa but they didnt make the music did they? I love the music from ffmq I just want to know if it was really produced in the usa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never heard of their other work, if they've done any. And no, the game wasn't produced here, it was made by one of Square's Japanese dev teams. It was released in NA first, though. The only Square game I know of that was produced entirely in NA was Secret of Evermore, but I'm not keeping up with Square-Enix these days.

Sole Signal Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Heh, yeah it's fun looking back at old songs you did. Some midi's I did for VG way back when: http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/n64/blastcorpsremix.mid http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/n64/glittergulchmine.mid And really my only old OC mix that I had submitted (about a year or so old): http://www.silverlinestudios.net/Mp3's/miszou_OLDblastcorps.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonectric Posted March 27, 2007 Share Posted March 27, 2007 Yes, I do think I suck. Your old stuff isn't terrible, zircon. Some people (including me) started off at the bottom of the dumpster. It IS pretty funny to listen to my first MIDIs though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Faustt Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 Final Fantasy Mystic Quest - "Mystic Clash" (boss/final boss) Holy crap! That was you?! Wow... this takes me back to around late 03 early 04. I was riding BART a lot then (bay areas train system for those who don't know) and this song always seemed to come up on my CD/MP3 player. I thought this was bad ass back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
