Woah...I wouldn't have expected to be remembered! /me feels very honored
I tried sending you the occasional free CD but your snail mail bounced...!
No surprise since I've been moving 4 times...wait...does that mean I've spent unnecessary money for the BIT 1-3 CDs ?!?
Have you got some new equipment now? And have you still got your MIDIs? Any new ones?
No new (musical) equipment here, I've been very busy with work & programming. Nevertheless I always tried to follow the development of the game remixing community and especially at remix.kwed.org I was downloading Songs on a daily basis. As written above I didn't have time to start sequencing again but of course I still have all of my old renditions which I'm giving a major overhaul now. Lucky me, things have changed to the better when it comes to soft-synths which I'm using in a desperate attempt to get rid of the Midi-ish Sound and to compensate for my lack of hardware. The songs I'm redoing are:
Tintin on the Moon (my attempt to make a funky version with convincing drums)
Goldrunner (IMO this tune just screams for a healthy dose of techno/trance)
Double Dragon (arranged to sound like those 80's synthrock songs we all just love to hate)
Double Dragon is already in the mixing phase (were I still have to learn a LOT) the other 2 are ~80% done). I'm unsure when they will be done for real but I'm hoping I can upload them to Remix the next weeks. One thing I do know for sure is that I won't retouch my Firelord MIDI since the remix from Glyn Brown is just perfect !
Anyway, it's great to see that the quality of remixes is constantly improving and I feel very welcome here in this friendly community, which is partly an achievement by you and of course those other supportive & helpful guys. Hi and thanks to you all!
