Story

C64 was my childhood computer and best friend.

 

I have always been an amateur, an hobbyst if you like, when it comes to producing music.

 

I love creating music just for my own liking and this is the first time I am sharing something that I did, with others.

 

So please be tolerant 😊

 

This remix is my first attempt to use digital synthisizers with Cakewalk DAW, all instruments are designed from scratch using T-Force Alpha Plus VST, the drums are by 99 sounds, which are all free software.

 

Hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the remix community, Oxx!I have to admit, I had to do a double-take on your remixer status after I listened to this remix - this is by a newcomer? It's [i]really[/i] good! I like the minimalist electro-drums, the vocal style chord hits, all the ornaments of the lead - all sounds great! The arrangement might be on the simple side, but it's done very well. The final mix sounds a bit too dry to my ears, but considering the genre, even that seems appropriate.I hope to hear more remixes from you in the future, whether in this style or in another!

Welcome to the remix scene, Oxx. You delivered a great start with a classic tune by Rob Hubbard. Your attempt of remixing Ace II really is a good one. I love the choice of sounds - especially that choir sound reminds me of Enjoy the silence by Depeche Mode which is a good thing! 😊

I just stumbled upon the T-Force Alpha VST a few weeks back and wondered what sounds it may be capable of. Now I know! 😊

The track lacks a bit of punchyness for this genre but doesn't sound terrible at all. It's just that little oomph that is missing. Maybe if you tinker around a bit with compression and eq'ing your mix will benefit from that in the future.

I encourage you to keep on remixing - I really had fun listening to your first track here on RKO and hope there is lots more to come!
