Music (SMW Remixes) Thread

Link Thread Closed
We should aim for a few additional remixes this year as always. There are two that really, really need to be addressed:

-The old "Here We Go" remix. It's terrible, and we need a new one.
-The first two cave remixes. They're super outdated now.

Otherwise, if anyone has any ideas for additional remixes we could aim for this year, feel free to post/discuss them here.

Alternatively, feel free to vote this poll for what kind of remixes you're interested for.
Athletic theme (aka "Piano" from the hit game Super Mario World)

e: if people are using their own custom music, then idk what the point of having a consistent melody for level tracks would be. If only 10% of levels have a song with the same melody it makes them stand out more.
I like all the map tracks have a similar melody tho
ask me if i give a f*ck...
I've been seeing suggestions of people saying we should ditch the original SMW lead motif :thinking_face:
Should songs stop being remixes and be compositions for VLDC like Map themes?

We also need a new forest remix because the old one is pretty boring.


Personally, I'm voting in favor of having the level themes be remixes. It at least adds some element of consistency.
I really need a layout. :<

Seconding that - the current one isn't bad, but an alternate forest/swamp theme would be swell.


 
Sorry S.N.N. but I do have another plan for the SMW remix threads -- a post/comment based voting system. So I will have to replace your thread once the system is done (it requires some special VilelaBot module which I haven't finished yet).

Pinci made a remix of that terrible remix. I suppose this one is more usable than the previous one. :P

I think we need another abstract remix, because the current one is too repetetive and in VLDC9 too much levels in abstract world used it, making it really get on my nerves.
I'd really like an ice remix that's more fast-paced, like something similar to the Antarctica theme from 1001 Spikes. Most ice levels seem to be fairly athletic in nature, and while the current ice remix isn't bad at all, it's a bit too calm to fit most of the situations where it's applicable.

On the other hand, it's the best track in the game.

really? i loved the one from VLDC 7. while it didn't have the tempo of the original "Piano" song, it was still as upbeat and happy. it wasn't used at all in the last vldc (which is a shame)

also, the beginning is based off "The Entertainer", i liked this reference a lot.

i'm just rambling here but yeah

No that's the factory theme

haven't heard it lol

i just want a song with the same bouncey, kind of wacky but still focused feeling of the original. Preferably one for both grassland and up in the air levels.

Either way I'm not too worried about custom music for now.

COMO VÃO FICAR AS MÚSICAS DO OVERWORLD? QUAIS SERÃO?
Tato: seems like the instruments could use better tuning and stuff, but this is decent so far. Not sure about the implementation of the changed SMW motif in the beginning though, I don't like it when it's changed personally. Feels a bit forced idk

Evite postar em português (e em all-caps também) já que esse fórum é em inglês ainda #ab{>_>}

As músicas do mapa vão ser feitas depois. Não vamos ter os temas definidos até saírem os resultados.
It's easily the best thing I've done
So why the empty numb?
I like the percussion and the bassline a lot, but the rest of it sounds kind of off? I'd especially try working on the choir parts.
is it really a must to add the smw lead motif? it just ruins the song since it sounds jumpy and happy, 60% of remixes have this problem especially the ones in vldc9.

That's just silly, SMW does that all the time (cave, castle, water, etc.).

I mean, I'm in favor of ditching it myself, but you don't really need to stick to its standard/grass variant. Maybe you can make your own version of the motif like SMW did with its castle theme, which sure doesn't sound jumpy or happy.

None of those feel forced tbh


But yeah you can do it like in the castle theme, where it's in a minor scale and sounds more obscure/dark.
