This is my first major foray into the music-making field, a 9 track music album that I've been working on for the past year or so. This is my first time opening my music up to external listeners, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated. ^^ https://soundcloud.com/michael-uebele/sets/dancing-in-the-rain

Those chiptune floats are fantastic.

OCR01558 - Super Mario World "Monstrous Turtles!"
Locke replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
This song is the background music on one of the new stages in Super Smash Flash 2. -
Usual DJP here with the extended intro. (50 seconds) I dig the piano that comes in at about 0:15, and the percussion is very well done throughout the whole piece. Lots of attention to velocities. Overall, I'd say good, but not great. Something you enjoy listening to in the background but not something you'd stop what you're doing to specifically pay attention to. 4/5

OCR00556 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "Memories of Saria"
Locke replied to orkybash's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I went back and forth on this one awhile. On one hand, I'm a big fan of the Lost Woods theme, and this is the only pure of mix of it on the site (not that I mind mixing Lost Woods and Windmill Hut; I think they work great together), but on the other, the sound is kind of screeching and distracts from the music itself. In the end, I decided to pass on this, but had the lead instrument been a different sample, I probably would have kept it, since the arrangement itself isn't all that bad. -
OCR02307 - Super Dodge Ball "Dodge Mahal"
Locke replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Except for the violin (which was excellent), the mix was rather average for me, although the small techno parts were nice. I'm not a huge fan of the Indian-type genre though, so that's no surprise. -
OCR01377 - Chrono Trigger "Atonement"
Locke replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I don't mind the conservative approach since the OST and production is so good. I really like the quieter, melodic section at 0:49. Brings out some nice emotion. Drums are good throughout. Is nice mix. -

OCR01888 - Sonic the Hedgehog 3 "Snowboardin' Sonic"
Locke replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Well, I'm a sucker for synths, WillRock, and IceCap, so it's no surprise I like this. I love the trance elements that come in throughout. Especially digging the section at 1:05-1:30. -
OCR02091 - Final Fantasy V "The Path to Glory"
Locke replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
Mmhm, kicks right off with a great intro. I especially love the high notes at 0:50 and 1:50. Starting at 2:22, there's a great build-up that doesn't disappoint. Great mix. Definitely makes my playlist. -
OCR00002 - Bonk's Adventure "Prehistoric Xmas"
Locke replied to Joe Redifer's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
I love this, beginning to end. In my mind, it's kind of a similar track to DarkeSword's Party in the Snowland mix. (Not in that I get Christmas vibes, but in that I can sit here and enjoy listening to the background music) I especially love the instrumentation choices. Really floats my boat. (Might even go so far as to say flies my airship) -
OCR02328 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time "Thunderstruck"
Locke replied to djpretzel's topic in ReMix Reviews & Comments
First time I heard this, I thought it was a pretty good mix. Then I listened to it again and wondered what I was hearing the first time. The violin plain rocks, and the combination of chiptune, rain/thunder, and upbeat tempo works wonders = Chiptune with depth and emotion?...Spectacular. -
Bahamut Lagoon was probably the most emotional for me.
