Nicholestien Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 lmao, man, Since I started playing final fantasy VI for the first time in a few days, I recently heard the original peice of music that the remix enchanted esper came from, you know, that protricity dude. it's insane doing this, and gives you a different perspective on just how good these remix's are. =O ZOMG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicholestien Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 what intrigued me the most is that protricity adds notes to the existing melody, I never knew that was allowed. gave me a bunch of new ideas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicholestien Posted December 29, 2007 Author Share Posted December 29, 2007 Wow. You've missed something about common arranging.Yup. I thought that adding notes to the existing melody was changing the song all together. >_> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Legendary Zoltan Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Yup. I thought that adding notes to the existing melody was changing the song all together. >_> Hahahah. Come on man. When you think about it, how is adding extra notes any different from adding techno drum beats or a guitar solo? A really easy-to-understand example of adding extra notes to a melody is Island of Zeal by Mazedude. http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00275/ It's groovy. After one time through the main melody, keeping it almost exactly the same as the original, there's a guitar solo and then when the main melody comes back it's got an additional harmony line added to it. It fits so damn nicely. Check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Pezman Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 To answer the original question, I try not to. It's make it harder for me to appreiciate the mix if I'm not familiar with the source tune. Of course, the problem is that I am severely behind on many games, so I will oftentimes do it anyway. But then the mix is not nearly as significant to me as it could be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Frazier Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 To answer the thread topic's question, I'd have to say that probably half of the remixes I enjoy the most, I've never heard the original source material. It's always interesting to hear the original of course, but I enjoy a great many of these remixes as musical tracks unto themselves. That being said, I think the remixes that top my list of favorites are those which I am familiar with the original source tune. So it's a mixed bag of sorts. Now, another issue altogether is whether or not I've actually played the game. I'd have to say that 95% of the remixes I enjoy, I've never played the game the source material is from. A ready example that comes to mind is Final Fantasy VII - never played the game, but I have the soundtrack and VotL is probably my favorite OCR tribute album to date. Go figure!

Gafgarion Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I usually listen to the remixes of the games I play. Any others, I don't bother because I am lazy. Sometimes the originals are better than the remix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elementalblazer Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I've listened to Ocremix before older songs. Sometimes the original is better like I find the original Ryu theme better than one from Blood on the asphalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moseph Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 Those who listen only to mixes from games they've played may be missing out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
