new hot and original soundtrack revamp thread

SMWCP2 Soundtrack Revamp

hi I'm going to redo the soundtrack.
Want to help? Contact me on IRC or through PM (don't just start working on something).
I probably won't post a lot but will just silently update.

Whether a song will be completely redone or simply revamped depends on the quality of the track and how fitting it was in that level. The number of tracks and listing is also subject to change.
For the record, I reserve the right to terminate the music revamp should it end up hanging up the project (i.e. if literally everything else is done (it isn't)).
Think of this as something like Magi's graphical overhaul, but with music.
Hm...does it matter how we revamp them as long as we keep the same basic melody? Do we have to use the same samples? May we add channels? Because I could maybe do a few. I make no guarantees, but the boss music would be one that comes to mind (for being catchy and memorable yet improvable). Also, where are the .brr samples for SMWCP2 anyway?

----------------

I'm working on a hack! Check it out here. Progress: 64/95 levels.
I don't see a problem with this, after all, the hack has been on hiatus for a long time now. To be honest, it's lost all its impact at this point, the old soundtrack in particular isn't something I enjoy listening to anymore, so a revamp might be needed. The soundtrack was made sometime in 2013-2014, if not longer. It's 2016 and the hack still isn't out. Yeah, I think it'd need it's sound track removed.

You know how things get old and crusty if something is backed up? Yeah, it's the same way with graphics/music, and it'd be a shame if half the music on here wasn't as high quality as some of the stuff we have in the music section.
Actually, I believe it was made in like, 2008-2010. It could use updating, I agree. Some songs (I.E. Mario on Ice) are perfect as is IMO, but if you want to improve them a little, go ahead. Quality is important.

Good luck, Torchkas and Lui.
Just so you know, I'm very active on the site anymore like I was before; I'm mainly on Discord now.

Not like the project has already been hung up as it is. I'm pretty sure it wouldn't hurt it.

Loving the new revamps so far. I think this was needed, because with the old soundtrack, there wasn't really a similar... tone (?) being set, I guess you could say. Each song had its own style, but maybe they were each... too different. Also, the new title theme is glorious!

Sounds great so far. I may or may not find the motivation to redo the half dozen or so tracks I did for this.
Dang, ONE LAST HOPE sounds awesome, the “pitch pulse” and echo sounds great. The only flaw is the light cymbal that starts playing at 0:10.
Give thanks to RPG hacker for working on Asar.
<Magi> I tried making music for the hub http://puu.sh/n21Tw.ogg
<Magi> pls no bully
And here's a dropbox link in case the puush link expires.

I might redo the Fire-Ice Castle theme, but I'm not going to claim it now. Even though I have a few ideas, I'm lacking time. And maybe someone else has interest on redoing it?

And Mr. Torchkas, I sent you a PM. Have you checked it there?

Agreed, and why isn't "Six-Eight Sorrow" on the "definite redo" list? It's awful. It's boring, empty, and nothing really spectacular about it to listen to it.

Doesn't sound too bad imo, it does after all suit the mood of the levels it's used in (Reverse Universe, EREHPS EHT RAEF, etc.) quite well.

Oh, I thought you were going to make an original composition.
I considered this track to not fit with the area it plays in so it will be replaced.
If you want to polish a song without making it custom you should look for anything that doesn't have "redo" or "definite redo" behind it.

meanwhile have a listen to a WIP of a forest song
i claimed (and finished) this like a million years ago and didn't really think it came out that great #ab{>_>}
The revamp's pretty nice, MercuryPenny. Torchkas and Lui think it's certainly a lot better than the original, though they say there's a little too much echo in it. I completely agree with them.

Don't beat yourself down, dude. You did good on that revamp.

World 1 is nearly finished, World 2 is quickly making progress. Here's a taste of what's done (as in fully listenable).

Awesome job, I'm especially digging the updated forest castle theme. It was rough around the edges before, but this is really smooth.
