[DKC2 - Separate Waves]

Dammit. I've tried to make a fun trance mix of this song for years, but you've nailed it here. Kudos, mate!

UnrealReno responds:

Thanks to you!

[DKC2 - Haunted Chase]

Flawless cover!

[Flight of the Zinger]

It sounded great from the start, but once that kick came in.

Oh baby.

The pad/string work at the middle was perfectly executed. Actually, all of the pad/string work was beautiful, even on the elaborated parts. The hats are a little loud for my taste once you bring them in ...

MiguelVolkov responds:

Hey!! I'm really happy that you enjoyed my DKC mixes... Personally, I'm a big Dave Wise fan... I think he's an actual genious.
As well, I was experimenting with Flight of the Zinger... And I didn't like so much what I got with it, so I decided to do a remake that I think is way better than this one... If you like, you could listen to it. I'll leave the link here so you can give me your oppinion.
Thank you so much for you comments! :D Look forward for my new DKC mixes.

New Flight of the ZInger, actually called "Another Zinger Flight":

[Kannon's Klaim, from DKC2]

This makes me want to RE-ReMix this song.

Good job on the opening. The original has SO MUCH reverb on all that percussion that it can be hard to nail that opening - and you did a lot better than I ever have! I really liked the breakdown into the piano early in the song.

Very enjoyable from beginning to end ^__^

[Boss Bossanova]

Woah, PERFECT opening. Really enjoyed the bass that you used, too. I am loving that Kick.

Gotta download this one!

[Gang-Plank Galleon]

Very nice once the theme really got going. All the parts of the song are well arranged and well EQ'd - HOLY CRAP - I am just hearing the ending. Very fun! Woulda liked to hear you play in that craziness a little longer, but very fun all the same! Good drum work throughout, too. Wasn't too crazy about the portamento you had on the melody (would have turned it down a little bit imo), but it doesn't ruin the melody or the song.

Keep up the DKC mixes!

[Into The Forest-[Cinematic]]

Wow! This is great! A very enjoyable listen! Love the bass-y strings you brought in the most :-)

[Timeless]

Wow. What an opening. Great lead in to the bass line. You've definitely improved since 2010! YIKES! 59 hours?! But the production value is there. Nice cooldown in the middle. Beautiful string-work, there. What synth do you use for those strings?

I am not on NGs all that often, but please send me a notification when this is updated and I'll review it :-)

EqualEyes responds:

Thanks for the great review man! I use SI (Studio Instruments) Strings VST. I picked up a copy of Guitar Tracks pro at a NAMM show in Nashville! A very good VST not as good as East West but that's insanely above budget right now! The 59 hours comes mostly from creating the bass. I used Sylenth for that and built it from scratch.

[Echoes Of A Dreamer]

Helluva lot better than my first attempt. Props!

Honestly, it has it's rough edges, but for being your FIRST project, I can't knock it at all. It's composition is very well done, and it has some nice energy in it :-)

[A World to Explore (8-bit)]

Now THIS I am liking :-)

It has a nice sound about it. The bass synth is probably by favorite part of it :-)

I have to say I am very impressed. This is a short loop, but it doesn't feel like it. It is a good testament to your creativity as a musician.

GamekrazzyProduction responds:

Thanks for listening cRAVE. I am glad you liked it. And thanks for the compliments!
