Cree` Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Before I get flamed, I did a little search to try and find to see if there was already a thread for this, but apparently there is not. I think it would be nice if we all, dug around in our digital coffers, and shared our very first compositions (along with links to your favorite personal best mix or lastest mix) with the rest of the OCREMIX community so that newcomers and beginners can see your personal progress and how we can see how far your wonderful talents have developed, and also so you can satiate our undying curiosity to see what you used to sound like. I personally want to see one of Zircon's and Darkesword's very first compositions to see what they had brewing up back in the days of Ramen Noodles, and Super Nintendos.. Anyways, Anyone think this is a good idea? Feel free to post up. Edit: Should this be moved to Community? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 I'll show you the first original song I ever wrote, which was done entirely in FruityLoops using lots of presets and some bundled MIDI riffs. I did write some stuff myself, but I don't take credit for all of it. http://zirconstudios.com/twilightforest.mp3 My first remix, which was done using Magix Music Maker 7 deLuxe and LOTS of loops.. http://www.zirconstudios.com/motavianbattlefield.mp3 (Phantasy Star IV battle theme) A few other early "gems"; http://www.zirconstudios.com/nightstalker.mp3 (Castlevania "Vampire Killer") http://soundtempest.net/zircon%20-%20Fall%20of%20Man.mp3 (Chrono Trigger "Magus") http://soundtempest.net/zircon%20-%20Aerial%20Fortress.mp3 (Phantasy Star IV air castle) etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I had your talent, my first tunes sound like garbage compared to yours. Still as amazing as ever, I bet you beatboxing tight tunes before you were even born.

Fray Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Mine: http://www.sectionz.com/detail.asp?rType=mp3&SZID=10628 Remix of the theme from the original PC Lemmings game. It's dirt simple, but I still think it sounds kinda nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickenwarlord Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 First remix: Floating in the Forest Breeze I was quite proud of it then. I should really revisit it and polish it up. With a bit of work it could be Thasauce worthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 there was a thread like this, but it was years ago in a different section (wip?). anyway, when it comes to humble beginnings there's an old Kenyan proverb: Where there is no shame, there is no pride. - The Flyin' Beat (1995) Originally an .s3m tracker file, this is my first completed bit of music. Industrial bluesy synthrock? I think this is the only time I thought was cool to have a "drum solo" in a song. - Mario Can't Sleep (2002) First remix: Super Mario Bros. 2 ending. Instant rejection at OCR, but received some positive reviews at Vgmix I. You'd think I would've gotten a lot better at music in 13 years...

Lunahorum Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 My first remix was a zelda song. I had about 3 newbish compositions (not remixes) before I worked on this. Made it in one long long night on FL demo. http://h1.ripway.com/max97230/995922-untitled.mp3 This one was also in my folder. I am almost positive I don't remember making this and I am wondering how it got there. http://h1.ripway.com/max97230/76748-untitled.mp3 This was when I got a keyboard. JOY!! Too bad I am in college now and I can't place it in front of the computer. Next term break, I am going to try to rearrange everything so I can fit my keyboard in front of the monitors and screens. Right now, it's only good for practicing piano, not for mixing with. http://h1.ripway.com/max97230/woohookeyboard.mp3 I am working on a dark world remix from the zelda game right now. It's pretty bad ass (I think lol). Has some power riffage on the guitar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DDRKirby(ISQ) Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 talk about improvement... first computer song pretty much EVAR, made in modplug tracker using default GM bank...omg... in case you can't read plain english, this is supposed to be a remix of the mario underground theme. http://ddrkirby.googlepages.com/MarioUndergroundRemix.mp3 first song using FL Studio, an original. Kinda catchy, actually, LOL: http://ddrkirby.googlepages.com/Techno202.mp3 ...and compare to now: http://ddrkirby.googlepages.com/Starfire.mp3 http://ddrkirby.googlepages.com/CrystalZenith.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zylance Posted January 3, 2008 Share Posted January 3, 2008 I'm really enjoying listening to these. http://zoola.vgpiano.com/loop.mp3 This is the first thing I could find. Lofi loop made in.... renoise? I think? I made vg midis long before messing with trackers, but regardless. http://zoola.vgpiano.com/TheAmbiance.mp3 First remix. Submitted, failed, forgot it. Used adobe audition to direct record my fantom s88, of all things. Bleaaaaah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboKa Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 Prepare to scream like a little school girl, behold my first song evar!! *shiver* though its way to short to constitute as a full song, still enough to make you cringe http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/rgal/horrible-FF-victory And if you hear my more recent works, you should be humbled by how far I've come in just half a year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dannthr Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 In 6th grade I was watching "The Wonder Years" and unknowingly influenced by Joe Cocker's rendition of 'With a Little Help from my Friends' I wrote with my clarinet a flute piece that went something like this: Dan's First Piece (Re-enactment) That's not exact and the sheet music is lost to the ages, but that's essentially the first song I ever wrote down. Before that it'd been you know... humming and singing to myself on the playground. This is a work in progress 14 years later: Memories of Flame and Smoke (Still writing for flute ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oni-91 Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=3682732&q=hi&newref=1 First song I made, that sucked... http://www.soundclick.com/player/single_player.cfm?songid=3682732&q=hi&newref=1 After a year's hiatus.

Radiowar Posted January 5, 2008 Share Posted January 5, 2008 This is a song my friends and I did back when we were like 13 and played in a band...it isn't the first song I ever wrote (though I didn't write much of this one, I was the drummer) but it's the first song we finished enough to the point of actually recording it properly. My drumming is pretty brutal, I sped up a lot towards the end...

Tensei Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 And if you hear my more recent works, you should be humbled by how far I've come in just half a year *smirk* So I guess most of my earlier stuff got lost in the oblivion that is putfile, but my oldest still existing 'remix' is this cover of Blue Water, Blue Sky, done with off-beat guitars and Reason presets. I wonder why the hell it's rated a 4/5 http://media.putfile.com/Guilty-Gear-X---Blue-Water-Blue-Sky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Adams Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 I don't have my very first song anymore, but I do have this, which was made one or two months after I started making music (back in '03). Here is a remix I finished last November for a competition. I know I can do a little better than this since I was in a rush to finish before the deadline.

The Pezman Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 I wrote some compositions for theory class that are quite forgettable, though I still remember the themes and hope to use them again someday. My first FL Studio is hopefully coming soon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
