Jazz Jackrabbit 2 Online

(copy/paste from post)

Structure: 8.5/10
Seeing as how this is meant to sound like something played by a garage band consisted of 3 electric guitars, 2 keyboardists, a knob twister and a drummer.. it’s a little funny but it makes sense the way it’s set out.
For a ‘rearrangement’ of the actual melody, it’s good but I found it a little too long; much better suited for something as to a ‘House’ genre of music. (80’s beat, much upbeat with repeating loops 4 by 4.)

Sound: 7/10
Those extra arpeggios caught my attention. The instrumentation ‘could’ve’ been better, but seeing there had been a fair amount of effort to the whole ‘remixing’ thing…it’s understandable. (Listening through a Yamaha XG synthesizer)
Drumline; it’s suitable but some of the silent parts didn’t sound right with it playing quietly.

Overall: 8/10
Never expected or seen a remix of the ‘LabRatory levels’ from JJ2. I will be looking forward to any more coming, rock_ten.

holy shit, youre MaliceX? So you wrote that shit? ownage dude.

thanks for the review dude. I havent got any other plans to be remixing shit – I just thought id give it a go because the original midi was so awesome. I did it with guitar pro, which I just use for reading tabs. But I thought id open the midi in there and see what it looked like, then I couldnt help fucking with it.

To be honest it seems to me that quite of a few of the good features of it came about by chance. The way I went through and edited it was just going through from start to finish, deleting shit i didnt want there, or just moving it out of the way for future use. So sometimes when it carried on playing past the “remix front”, different tracks would play on top of each other because they had been moved – which sometimes gave some cool combinations, which I had to use.

If I tried to do anything else like this I would probably just end up making almost exactly the same kinda thing, but with a different “main” riff. If a midi finds me that is as cool as your original one, then maybe ill be forced to have another go at remixing it – I definately enjoyed doing this one.

rock on dude, thanks again
