Story
I think that the votes don't reflect the truth.
I won my challenge to reproduce the ORIGINAL SOUND.

It's very hard to find the original sound with original synthezisers in 44Kz. A remix it's not a fantasy !!When the remix sounds like a far likeness from the original, the spirit of the original disepear. this is a new music. I kept the 80' nostalgia. Persons who said "it's the same" are right, this is the same sound. But persons who said "it's the same as the original" are false. Samples, effects, and mix are completly renewed.

Hope that now you understand what is a real remix.

Faithful remake, but nice to have an mp3 highquality version so it's good for that reason.

I don't want to be boring or something, dont get me wrong. To create a sound that is exactly or almost the same as an old amiga tune can be hard, i understand that. I try to do that too sometimes. Certain parts of old tunes can be nice to reproduce in this way to keep a nostalgic feeling. I use to reproduce chipsounds However, a remix shouldnt sound exactly like the original, what is the remixing of that? Play with your fantasy and give it a new soul. It does not have to be big changes, but it should be something that makes peoples thing: Hey, I'll listen to this for a change The reason why I would listen to the original mod instead of this is that I grown up with it. It's going to need some heavy makeover to become better than that. The sounds of your tune is of high quality, no question about it. You should use it to create something special, cool and new to this song. Add your personal touch to it. Then it's a hit, believe me.
