"What?" I hear you cry, "Song requests?". Yes, I'm taking requests for songs. Allow me to elaborate.
I sometimes remix and arrange tunes I've heard from games I've played, but up till recently I'd had some problems with the program I use for doing so. Thankfully, just recently I got that fixed, and now I can use my software again.
So! If you have a song from a game you'd like me to have a crack at remixing, post it here! Bear in mind the following though:
1. It has to be something I'm familiar with. If I've never heard the tune, you'll have to provide me with a link to it or something.
2. For the most part, I will probably remix the tune in the style or genre I think will work best. However, if you desperately absolutely MUST have it remixed in a certain style or genre, then feel free to specify and I'll see what I can do. I'm offering to do this mainly for my benefit so's I can improve my skills, so don't be offended if I don't remix it the way you envisioned it.
3. I'll only take so many requests, and I probably won't work on more than three at a time. Don't let it put you off requesting if I'm already working on three songs, just bear in mind it'll take me a while to start.
4. It takes a long time for me to make a remix of something sometimes. If the thread disappears off the front page it doesn't mean I stopped working on the tunes. It just means I've nothing new to report. =P
Anyway. Just for a quick example, I'll link a few of the things I've done in the past here: Scrap Brain from Sonic 1 on Mega Drive, Scrap Brain from Sonic 1 on the Master System. I also have some stuff over at VGMix, but they're still recovering from teh haxx0ring that went on.
Anyway, lay the requests on me! And if you have any queries, ask. =D

Reserve me a space in the request list;
I've just gotta find a MIDI of the song I want done.
Can you make a Trance verson of Supporting Me, the Biolizard theme? I can dig up an Mp3 of it if you need so, jsut IM me.
Hmm...interesting.
Would a remix of 'The 13th Struggle' and 'Scherzo Di Notte' from Kingdom Hearts II and I be out of the question? IM me if you need the MP3s.
Remix track 14 in the Dynamite Headdy sound test. The marionette fight. That's a good one.
Bat - OK, I'll be looking out for that
SX - I'll give it a shot
Ultra - Never heard those tracks, I'll need the files
HPA - again, never heard it. Anywhere I could get it?
~LightStrike.
Hook me up on MSN and I can send it to you :3
Dude. If you could turn the music from Sonic 3's "Lava Reef" into a techno remix, you'd be the most amazing person ever in my eyes.
Okay, I set to you, this challange.
If you can make the theme to Aero the acrobat (can be found at the top of here) more rocking, you will get a cookie.
I don't care what you do to it, I just wanna see what you make of it =3
-Tcm: Lava Reef you say? That's a favourite of mine, I'll see what I can bang out.
-Maggie: the top of where?
Also, for other folks:
-HPA: Thanks for the track... making a remix is gonna be challenging.
-Ultra: I'll still need those tracks. I guess I'll PM you or something.
Also, a general note. Bear in mind I'm heading westward this summer to the US, so while I'm there I won't be able to work on these, because that would involve taking my PC with me which would be neither sensible nor practical. If I haven't given you anything in the way of a preview or a full mix by the start of July, then you'll have to be patient until say the end of August or the start of September, that's when my trip to the US ends.
Also, I think in the way of number of songs: I'll take an absolute maximum of 10 for now, and that's pushing it because working on so many things at once is a strain. =D
More updates as stuff happens.
~LightStrike.
I did PM you the tracks Lightstrike. oo;
@Ultra: Yeah, sorry about that. Forgot to download 'em last time I checked my ezInbox. ;(
So you need me to send them to you again?
Nope, I got 'em
Would you be willing to remix a Karaoke track from an anime? If so I'd like you to remix Naisho Yo! Ojamajo from the anime Ojamajo Doremi. I can provide a copy if you tell me how to contact you on MSN. Is a flac file acceptable or should I provide a file in another format?

*eats EZbarf's FACE*
Also, put my request on Uber Low Priority, I don't really mind, it's a "I wonder what he can do with it" thing.
You requested to make a song out of...an index? Oo
Noooooo. I said it's at the top of there. Since I can't link it directly, I just got the nearest theeng. .;
So... How's this comin' along?
Well, HPA, I only just returned from the USA a coupla days ago, so I really haven't had much chance to do any work on people's requests. However, I do have one tasty morsel for you guys to feast on while you wait for me to work on things. Before I left for the US, I put together possibly one of the greatest (if not the greatest) remixes of the Chemical Plant Zone music ever. You can get it here, and it's pretty damned good. =D
Enjoy!
~LightStrike, aka SilverShadow.
EDIT: Just picked up Crimmy's tune to start work on, as the sound of it has really gotten me interested. I'll probably start work on others soon as well.
Ooh...it's like what Chemical Plant would sound like in 3D. oo
Ooh...cool!
Can you make a remix of Sonic Adventure 2's Cosmic Wall for me?
Or possibly the music from the boss fight in Sonic Adventure where E-101 & E-102 fight? (The second one, where E-101 is improved)
Thankies in advance! =3
SS my man, that lead is really overpowering. I can't hear what's going on in the background D: Also, really repetitive. Nothing wrong with going off on a tangent for like a third of the song ;p
HPA, if the lead's over-powering then you need to sort out your EQ settings, cos I mastered it without EQ on at all and it sounds perfect to me. =P
You made the song, it sounding wierd isn't my fault.
It sounds absolutely perfect through my speakers. I'm agreeing with Lightstrike that you should check your EQ.
Let's see your EQ setting so I can hear it the right way
I purposefully mastered the tune with my equaliser switched off, so it'd sound good without any EQ. If you wanna hear it as I intended it, switch your equaliser off completely. However it probably wouldn't be too bad with a Rock or Techno EQ setting, depending on the player and EQ you use.
I had to wait until no one else is home so I could turn it up loud
I couldn't hear the background because there was no background to hear.
In that case, you removed a part of the original song?
I see... HPA, I hate to be the one to break this to you, but your sound system sucks. Or your hearing needs checked. I'm awfully sorry. =P
I'm just going by the fact that pretty much everyone else I linked or sent this to has said it sounded awesome and there was nothing wrong with it. oo
OK, update time. Yes, you thought I'd stopped working on these but YOU WERE WRONG.
Anyway, the Work In Progress of SX's request is up, will be finished sometime in the nxt coupla months. You can get a listen to the current sound here: www.miracle-planet.com/mu...Me_WIP.mp3 . You might wanna right-click and Save As that link, it'll be easier that way.
Also I'd like to note that for now I'm not accepting any more requests than those already in this thread until the current ones are out of the way. That of course does not mean I'll be taking no more at all, just means please hold off any more until I get the ones in the thread out of the way. )
~SilverShadow.
Your remixes sound really nice. What software do you use for remixing out of interest?
I use FLStudio for making my remixes and so forth. It's pretty straightforward and good fun to get into once you've got the hang of it. Anyway, thanks for the comments. ^^
~SilverShadow.
Well, it's been a while since I've been on here, so I guess I should update you guys. First off, I made another remix!
Here's my take on Secret Base!
Next item of business: remix stats!
Supporting Me, trancified - tune in place, needs some mixing and mastering
The 13th Struggle and Scherzo Di Notte - haven't started yet
Marionette Fight - still to start
Lava Reef, techno style - started just earlier
Aero the Acro-bat theme - tune in place, mixed a bit, still needs refinement
Cosmic Wall - not started
So yeah. I'm not dead. I'm still gonna work on these. But as I initially stated, it takes AGES. ;P
~SilverShadow.
*Blows dust off thread* Holy COW. Umm OK, so it's been, what, the better part of a year since I last did anything to this thread? Good flipping grief...
Well, some updating is in order. I've not been completely out of it as far as music remixing goes, and I am still working on things on and off. However, as I have a job nowadays, I have a lot less free time.
In addition, I'm gonna strike off my list any requests where the requester isn't actively on the Board any more, as there's no point in me putting in work for someone on something when they'll never hear it.
Onto business. I'm approaching the Supporting Me mix from a new angle, as I didn't like how it was going. It'll maybe be done by 2015
Aero the Acro-Bat theme is basically sitting here done, but I want to re-think the instruments on it.
Still haven't started on HPA's request, and I'm not sure where the file I have of the source material went x_x Same goes for Ultra's sadly.
As for Cosmic Wall, Emma doesn't appear to even be around here any more.
Lastly, my http://silvershadow.sheezyart.com" ;">SheezyArt account is where my mixes will be going until VGMix finally get their butts in gear and get the new site up. There're some newer things sitting there since the last update, unsurprisingly.
I am still working on things on and off, and I'll happily take another coupla remix requests too, though no guarantee on me working on them straight away: it has to be something really inspiring to get me feeling creative and doing something with it.
There we have it. Stay tuned guys. XD
~SilverShadow.
EDIT: 22/02/2008
OK, so I figured I should pull this back up again once more to let you all know about progress. VGMix have FINALLY resurrected themselves to an extent, so I'll from now on most likely be dumping my mixes there. I'm on there as "Ash Fox", and I have two of my older tunes up already. I'll be uploading more soon when I have time and patience to do so. I will also probably just let this thread die soon and integrate all the music-y stuff into my main talent-whoring thread, which I should probably re-title . I once again repeat my earlier sentiment - stay tuned!
