Sonic Riders - The Sands Of Time (Sand Ruins) ft. Fallen4Freedom (93% complete)

All clips have now been obtained! It's time for me to buckle down on the editing. Fallen4Freedom did a pretty good job, though I haven't tested it against the timing yet, I have a step-by-step program that I came up with myself just for this very situation, from when I was writing for Aaron Webber's independent Skies Of Arcadia project. It worked on my vocals, but this oughta sound real interesting once it's done. She even did both melody and harmony. I'm super stoked about this one. The timing wasn't all too bad either. With my other current project nearing completion, I could possibly be posting two songs within the same week! That will definitely help get my name out there, if they see it a little more frequently. I'm definitely gonna be busy for the next few days

Radical Rex - Do or Die (Graveyard) (74% complete)

I've analyzed what I need to finish the beat! Five and a half minutes total on the beat. The spooky sound effect intro adds 30 seconds or more to it, as I still have to come up with the short poem. The solo is completed! I tried my best to connect everything together measure by measure. That's usually how to do it. One step at a time. And a lot of repetitive listening just to try to come up with something that would come after it. Usual fast-paced style. I have half the second part done too. That was easy I'm just repeating the first breakdown. Er, the first part of it anyway. I'm gonna add something new to it for a unique twist. Maybe put the church organs and the whistly vibrato synth back in it. I can finish the beat if I put just a few more hours into it. I've got a plan for a somewhat abrupt ending and an evil laugh at the end. But I'm gonna have to plan on how to lead right into it. I've got a match to get ready for tonight so I better get going soon.

Lyrics are recorded! And yes, I absolutely made it metal. Not too metal though XD. I'm proud of it. It's gonna be fun to edit. If I'm brave, I'll try some other modulations on it, see if I can't make some parts sound robotized. My solo is also nearing completion. Once you get into the groove, everything just flows nicely. I'll shortly be able to identify what all I'll need left and get a more accurate percentage reading. I'm almost ready to close out! Man today's been productive! I'm getting excited to finish this one, I really hope you guys like it. It's different for me.  

@PaulyBFromDa303: This is actually good

Someone needs to have this be Mr. Krab's theme in a Undertale-inspired Spongebob fan game.

Sound effects obtained! I still need to come up with a scary poetic intro. Probably just about 8 lines or so. Like something from the ending of Michael Jackson's Thriller. And this sound effect I found, it's pretty creepy. Like perfect for this kind of thing, like I can actually envision myself standing in a haunted graveyard with this . . . or trick-or-treating XD. And luckily I can add to it with the thunder sound from my creating program, that'll really help emphasize the boom of the music. I also took the time to polish out the mid-bridge into my solo, as it sounded pretty bland, even without the lyrics added. I may have to dig at it just a little more. The solo is what's next. I'm looking forward to it. I've got some time to come up with something cool since I've got wrestling matches coming up all weekend. It's getting there! However, the way things are going, I may be looking at WELL over the six minute target, so as opposed to 51% I'm probably still in the mid to high 40's. We'll see, eventually. I'll have a more accurate reading when I'm close enough

Finally finished replicating the original. That last part was a bit tough. I had to create a fitting loop that was exactly 10 measures long, as opposed to the usual 8. It was tough and there was A LOT of drum work with it. Something still feels missing but I'm sure I'll find it during editing. I have also created a small little bridge to the next part, I think I'm going to do an instrumental solo here as well. Might repeat lyrics with cool effects too. I'm interested to see how I'm going to edit the whole thing at the end. Whatever I choose to do now, I better think carefully though. It's gotta be unique, it's gotta be easy to follow. That's the biggest challenge with this piece this time. Connecting. It is usually hard but this time it's really tough. Even for a DnB song, which is practically my specialty. I'm not worried one bit, but it'll take some time to come up with it. Maybe. Speaking of signatures, I decided to throw in my created Sky Synth here again. See how it works out as it develops.

First off, I found the exact sound I was looking for with this new synth I created. I knew I was starting to understand EG a little more! It's perfect! I'm so happy right now! I've already replicated most of the main part and even came up with my own little shindig for it. Now, based on the percentage level, it wouldn't seem like I accomplished much more than last night. But I have a NEW objective. I now need to find scary sound effects and write some more lyrics . . . er, a poem, if you will . . . for the true introduction to this piece. I'm really going for it with this one. I'm having SO much fun. I do need to take a quick break. I've been at it since I got off work five hours ago. I'll be back at it by noon, guaranteed

Lyrical backdrop is finished! It took a lot of brainstorming to come up with how I was going to lead into the main part. Lot of changing up of drums and basses (lol, cause it's a drum n bass song) This was the eye of the storm. Lowered tensity, heightened dramatics. Extra basses, new drums. I basically killed everything off. Literally. Then brought it back from 0 to 60 in 8 measures. I'm really looking forward to this next part. The main breakdown. The first idea I had before I started this remix. I'm psyched! I can't wait. I'm gonna create a new instrument. I've tinkered around with Envelope Generators enough to have a general idea of what I'm doing. I want to create a feedback wave. Very metal. I can't continue at this moment since I have to rest up for work tonight. I've got a three day weekend coming up. This is gonna be off the chain! I CAN'T WAIT THOUGH!!!

Finally done with the intro part. Found a good drum lead in. It gets complex. And here's something else. I found what else was missing. You ready for this . . . I'm gonna be using the church organ all throughout the song. It just sounds better. I made it work with a DnB piece! I didn't expect that actually, I was planning on just using it for an intro. I'm at the part now where the lyrics come in. So I gotta kill everything off to its softest and somehow make it epic sounding. I'm gonna have to do some studying on this one too. I know the sound I want but I don't know how to get it yet. I've had some ideas. Something very rock and roll. I'll find it.

Congrats @Blacklightning! You deserve a self-Pika-massage!

I'm not making too much progress on this at the moment. Introductions are so hard sometimes. Once I get going, it'll get going. But I've finally found a good bass riff to use. I may have to jazz up the church organ a little bit so it doesn't get tedious. It's just for intro, but it's still an important part. If I don't captivate here then how are they gonna listen to the rest of the song? All I need after that is to find a good drum introduction. I plan on going slow at first. 84 BPM in the beginning, I plan on killing off everything for a bit for somewhat of a dramatic part, where the lyrics are gonna go. Then bumping it up to the max with 168 BPM. Maybe a little faster if I feel it's necessary. But that's down the road. The drum intro is my biggest worry at the moment

Happy birfamaday, brother! Enjoy it!

Lyrics are written and song is named! I do plan on getting a little metal with this one. Fair warning. I've got some pretty cool plans that await me. Still a lot of exploring to do. It's a shame I'm still stuck on this intro. The spooky intro may or may not work out. I may need to find some effects to use. I've gotta find a good bass riff before I can continue. That's one of the big problems I'm having right now. So many possibilities but not all of them work out. Whatever I choose has to match well with the chords I use for my intro and the chords in the rest of it. That I also might have to change up. Wow. I may have bitten off a little more than I can chew at the moment. I gotta brainstorm XD

STARTING PROJECT: Radical Rex - Graveyard (5% complete)

TARGET 6 minute beat (75%) Write lyrics (5%) Record (10%) Editing (10%)

I'm gonna do something different here. I want to remix another SEGA name, but something you don't hear much of, something underrated, just showing appreciation and whatnot. Radical Rex, to me it feels underrated. It had a good soundtrack too. I came up with something interesting in my mind over the past week, I'm gonna start it off with church organs and eerie synths, I think I want to go horror Drum 'n Bass with this one. I just can't wait to REALLY get into this one. I know I'm gonna have to sound hunt for this one too. I can already tell this is fun. And if I time it right it'll be ready for the Halloween season too! This is gonna be great
