CC Ricers Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I've returned for another round of remixing. The swamp stage (beat-em-up version) of Bayou Billy is remixed here. Download WIP Original in MIDI I'd like to keep the electo-ish theme going, and the trumpet's brief performance needs to be fixed a lot, but it's there for arrangement details. So let me know what you guys think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted June 8, 2007 Author Share Posted June 8, 2007 The link has been updated! New version up now. The section between :30 and 1:08 has been fleshed out, including a new piano sample, and trumpet sample removed. Added some Latin drums and tweaked the EQ. I really wanted to make the saws and percussion kick hard. So is it working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oskar Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 Haha! I played this old goodie just the other day. Still hard as hell :] First off, great to see some remixes from a bit more obscure NES games like Bayou Billy! And now for some feedback. Starts off good I think, good beat and background sounds, but I think you could work a bit more on the lead that starts at 0:30, the tunes are a bit unclear and melt together a bit too much. Piano bit at ~0:50 - wonderful! This always was my favorite part of this tune, but then, at 1:07, something strange happens; what you built up with the piano bit just dies. I think you should increase the pressure there instead of decreasing it, plus something isn't right with the melody there, unless you attempted some kind of freestyle :] I think you should stick to the original there, cause I think it's a good part of the song. If I can meddle a bit with your plans, heh, I'd like to see an increase of pressure during 1:07-1:09, and after that short hit, lower pressure for a few seconds and then the hit and pressure increase comes again when the tune repeats again. Hmm. Hope you understand. (Listen to the original and you'll know what I mean hopefully) BTW, this just struck me - perhaps that's what you mean with the "trumpet's brief performance" :]] I really like the break at 01:20. You could probably make something more out of that. Although, it's good as is. :] I like the song so far! Hope I helped some! Keep it up!

CC Ricers Posted June 11, 2007 Author Share Posted June 11, 2007 I updated yet again, and it's more different-sounding than before. It's taken on a house/electro hybrid form of sorts. New beats, basses and sections, and now with a tentative ending! This will not be the final length of the song; I will work on adding more sections into the middle. And the trumpet will probably not be coming back I know it's pretty loud right now, though I quickly normalized it before encoding to lessen the problem temporarily.

CC Ricers Posted June 15, 2007 Author Share Posted June 15, 2007 Note to self: remix more well-known games in order to get more feedback. This might inherently make obscure games have less OCRemixes than they should Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
