yeah, the drums could be a bit faster, couldn't they? it's just that i don't know if i should compromise the original melody for the sake of speed... might not hurt though.
btw, i just recorded some Megaman 2, and some maniac mansion...

i was gonna say the same thing... i was wondering how to get it faster without losing that old grade 6 flavour.
more complexity within each bar?i dunno

Haha, awesome, I actually have a lot of suggestions but I would have to be sitting there listening to it w/ you to make them.
OK one main thing, the best part of the contra melody is when the tune goes up after that bit, fuck its hard to describe, whell here -- it's a few seconds long, it happens at... :51, again at :57, 1:40, 1:47, 3:02, 3:08Thanks for bringing back the past man.
That needs to be most pronounced, its the part where I go hell yeah when I listen to the theme, so make it louder, put a cool effect or reverb on it one time. Blow it out.
Thanks for reviving the past man

thanks you xanatos!
i've actually accented those parts... funny you should mention. i also bumped the bpm up to 180! it is now a much better remix, and a good jungle tune as well.
RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE TARGET AS for CONTRA JUNGLE REMIX!

by the way, the intro is meant to be noisy.... so don't overreact when you hear it. some people seem to have been rather offended by it.

Really nice :D
I dunno about the distortion it made the track sound a little messy in places, but not as though it was intentional. I personally would like the track to be cleaner sounding with some clean effects placed on it, but that is just because I am a sucker for old game music :D

you should check out the Ninja Gaiden mix then, that one has a cleaner melody.

Yep I prefer the ninja gaiden mix. In any case you can't really go wrong with old game melodies and good drum beats. Some nice variation in there too, good work :D

ecnadniarb: glad you liked it! i'll probably put some polish on that contra remix. thank you for the good work. the variations took for-fucking-ever cause i did them on microsoft sound recorder.
ambsace: thank you as well! yeah, i'm probably going to redo the track tonight w/o the distortion -- you should check out the ninja gaiden mix.. everyone has liked it so far!

*bows* glad you enjoy! i'm uploading my third version of the contra remix now - the distortion is out, and is replaced in most cases by a couple of more drum variants. i'll tell you when it's finished.

It is a bit better, but now it sounds odd. Like too much reverb or something, everything is too seperated...it is like hearing the track through someone elses headphone leakage. There needs to be something in the fore of the track, ideally the melody. It gets better about 2:55 until the end of the track. :P

I would stay away from the game MIDI files now, try to develop your own melodies instead, it is a hell of a lot more challenging and rewarding at the end of the day. :D
