At first I had no idea how to make a song groove at 100bpm
(what? generic 4 kick trance beat doesnt sound good? impossible!) but eventually I tried out some stuff that sounded a bit timbaland-esque, which was unfortunate. After fixing that up, I realized I was humming an ff8 song that my mind had blended into the ff6 song, so I went with it and it worked out really well, to the point where I really got caught up jamming with the ff8 stuff.

I worked about 8 hours straight today on this, and about 7 the day before, but it was great great fun.

The picture I paint in my mind is the magic house theme cruising along, and then Ultimecia's time compression kicks in and the 2 worlds collide for a bit. It's an experiment for sure, I hope you enjoy it.

At first I didn't think I would come up with somethin for this PRC due to lack in melody on this source. But I liked it a lot, so I gave it a try.

I said that I wouldn't try using guitar plug-ins again, but this one deserved it. It actually sounds decent!

It sounds similar to the symphony metal band Haggard, but lacks growling. If I could get someone to do it, I'd try to submit this one.

My thoughts behind this piece:

The source material seems like a lone melody with very little harmonic elements, so I elongated and syncopated the rhythm and then spent the rest of my time fleshing out a complimenting latin groove to back the melody. In the end, one of the melodic segments I chose to keep it close to it's original format to make it more recognizable. The entire melodic line is a transposed, elongated, syncopated magic house.

Overall, I was trying to go for an 80's latin jazz sound with the spanish words looping in the background and the deep reverb toms. Something like David Bleimier meets Carlos Santana. I used a flanger on both the voice samples and tweaked the fine a little to give them a more 80's quality (not being exactly on pitch at exactly the right time) and yes all voices in this piece is me.

PS: the underlying chorus is saying "venido a la casa de la magia" which is spanish for "come to the magic house."

This is a hard trance remix of the theme which was also inspired by hardstyle/jumpstyle. Includes a hard kick drum, sidechained bass, a synth lead made out of a voice clip that I distorted and played rapidly very fast (inspired by Shizzle My Dizzle by DJ Pavo, haha), claps and crash cymbal from an SNES soundfont, a synthed church organ that I accidentally made with 3xOsc, guitar which I ripped from the original song with Chipamp before editing and applying effects (including a glitch VST which is very nice) and a distorted supersaw. I hope you have as much fun listening to it as I did making it =P

Definitely nothing out of the ordinary here.
It would be unlike me to miss 3 PRCs in a row, so I scrapped together a robotic piano player. He doesn't know about things like humanization, or velocity switching, but he's programmed to love what he does.
