Great fun!

Super cool track! There are long, confident stretches of fairly minimal arranging which was quite impressive to me. There's absolutely no note here that isn't needed. Reading the judgement thread I have to say I also enjoyed the sudden transitions, and thought that those were as important to the musical effect as the fairly sparse arrangement. This is a stark track in more ways than one.

Great song! I really enjoyed and appreciated the duet. I'm not familiar with the original. I did think the song was overcompressed at least to my tastes/ears (the open hihat felt like it "pumped" the mix throughout). But otherwise it was just a solid song and it was fun to hear a really successful vocal duet on OCReMix!

Always love to hear FTL ReMixes. Extremely nice, lush sonic palette. The piece has a nice pace. Now I'm imagining FTL's story as a religious crusade 😳

I've heard about this "Undertale" game. It apparently has some good music that's great for _fun and creative ReMixes_ - well done! edit: Maybe I should comment on the Super Mario RPG track usage, I just recently played the Switch remaster. 🤦‍♂️ I didn't really listen to the soundtrack outside of the game. So ... I can say, I thought the sources are very well blended together!

Super fun track, sounds pretty darn good! Both of these games are on my bucket list to properly sink my teeth into some beautiful day (I think I own both in at least two separate releases each ...) It's cool to see more representation for OCR for them!

Wonderful playing! I didn't even think about the time signature change at first even though I've sung this melody many times as a lullaby for my kids. It fits well and felt like a fresh approach without me even realizing the rhythm is different. What a fun and sweet arrangement.

What a sweet high!

I was interested enough with the hubbub to try out some Firefox alternatives, and ocremix.org was the first url I typed in. This is great 100% fucking fun all in all! I do appreciate the discussion.

Ohhhhh, I feel like I missed this one back when it was posted. It's right up my alley when listened to in a vacuum, but having recently played Beneath a Steel Sky, it's a delicious treat!

Alternatively to the reverb, a gap could be masked by some other sound as well. Sometimes the some "harsh digital silence" needs just some subtle noise and it'll feel better. Something I've struggled with in this scenario (reverse cymbal -> crash cymbal) is that it lessens the impact. I don't think I've actually even thought to have a little pause in there! But I've layered some other drums to accent the hit. Bass drum of course often falls in there naturally anyway.

I think I wanna be done now 😅 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/v4k1kk3qgbn9hw6k2qcrf/eino_keskitalo_-_ninjan_graali-20250108-rc.mp3?rlkey=9z7vmrdurm3o1u752bh57gtka&st=50rct5h0&dl=0 submitted!

Ah, fun to see a thread on Gameable Audio! I've enjoyed it so far - listened to it only a little bit. I think I stumbled upon the 'cast from somewhere else; I listened to a "grab bag" style episode or two which didn't have a theme if I recall. I have some other episodes earmarked. I might even try and see how rusty my Swedish is with the earlier episodes.. !

Woof, love this ... amazing tension & uneasy release at the end. Wow!

New wip, basically still addressing the frequency hogging bass, and the ending https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/soxh60hm2zupc6hu07ap8/eino_keskitalo_-_ninjan_graali-20250106-wip.mp3?rlkey=lp1dky244qn63esr7n1a78pip&st=74oxwkcy&dl=0 And wow what a difference with bass 😳 kill your darlings, everybody ☝️👴
