djpretzel Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 Hiya, My name is Strike. I'm a newbie to the mixing world. I really had a lot of fun mixing this one (my first mix!) and I hope you enjoy it. It is from Perfect Dark on the old N64. The original song was from the ending credits. I thought it was a cool song, so I thought I would try to make it a little cooler. This is my first mix, and I'll admit, I'm probably not the best newbie out there, but I don't think I'm too bad. Hopefully I will improve a lot. I plan on sending you many remixes. Heh. Soon you'll be like, oh no, its this guy again. Haha. I'm going to improve though, I'm really into this type of stuff. I filled in all the ID3 tags ( I think ) and the file size is about 2.6 MB. Thanks for the great site. Been a fan for a long time! Here's the URL to my remix named "Deploy". Thanks again! ~Strike (extreme74@hotmail.com) _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted August 24, 2002 Share Posted August 24, 2002 I like this, although some of the guitar samples are a bit dodgy. Anyway, YES. PS. I'm having some problems with the board thingy, it won't enable bold or big font size. I'll try editing my posts tmmrw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orkybash Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 As Malcos said, the guitar samples are a little dodgy, and I thought the voice sample was a tad overused. But the arrangement's pretty good, and there's no really major problem that's holding it back. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m68030 Posted August 27, 2002 Share Posted August 27, 2002 Reminiscent of the Batman Beyond movie soundtrack, the guitar samples trigger in a nostalgic MOD style. But something about it just seems a little messy. Hmm. I guess it's not bad though. I'm sure some people will enjoy this. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Dan Posted September 2, 2002 Share Posted September 2, 2002 I can't believe he said "the old n64." A sign that technology is developing too fast, I think... And as for malcos's statement about the dodgy guitar... you all just went along with him without noticing that YOU WERE SPEAKING BRITISH! HAHAHAHAHAHA! Ok, but seriously, that guitar is so obviously sampled and pitch tuned. My question for judging this mix, since it came from the n64 (OH SO LONG AGO), is whether or not this somehow needed to be done. Like, whether or not this song makes us want to go back and listen to the original because the original is far superior. I've never heard any PD music, so I don't know what to listen for here. I think the beat sounds funky. And the fast synth definitely keeps the music moving. The voice sample is meh, and the moving guitar has seen better days... or not... but anyway, I don't really know what to give this one. Actually, yes I do. My gut says no, and that's what I'm going to go with. Between quality, repetition, and the overall feel of it, I'm not at all satisfied with this remix. The only thing going for it is the beat, in my mind, so I says: NO DC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
