This is a trance remix of "Final Battle" from the Lufia 2 OST. I decided to keep the remix a lot shorter than a typical trance track so that it doesn't overstay its welcome. I'm pretty pleased with how this turned out; it's the first time I've worked on a trance track and felt like all the instruments and structure came together the way I wanted them to. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Lufia 2 is an RPG that was originally released in 1996 for SNES. The source track is from the final dungeon area. cf. https://www.youtube.com/v/-Fzm2O4Zt-k

Goldfinger Feat. THPS - Safe 'N' Sane Skater Heaven Superman (Master Mi Remix - Version 1.1)

- made by Master Mi
- produced with Samplitude Pro X4 Suite
- mastered at EBU R 128 standards for the best dynamic range

This is the newest version of my Goldfinger remix "Safe 'N' Sane Skater Heaven Superman".

After taking some time off from making new music in order to finalize my concept of a new mixing style and get used to my new Yamaha MSP 3 professional studio monitors (which are perhaps some of the most accurate and truthful studio monitors in the world, and definitely professional tools for mixing and sound engineering), I am now back with the latest version of my remix for the "Superman" soundtrack, originally composed by the punk rock and ska punk band Goldfinger, to demonstrate the progress of my new mixing concept.

The big goal of my new mixing concept is the production of very clean and dynamic soundtracks without the use of compressors and limiters for the best possible sound quality within a soundtrack which feels much more alive, moving and natural.
In my opinion, the mixings of modern soundtracks should be similar like the really good and highly dynamic mixings of the early 80s and the decades before, long time before the loudness war of the modern music industry kicked in and provoked a kinda nasty and dull trend of producing louder and louder records (just to get noticed like an intrusive but mindless commercial) to the disadvantage of dynamics, the natural behaviour of transients, sound quality and the pleasure of the listening experience.

In the future, I want to prove that this kind of dynamic mixing concept works with all kinds of music genres, even electronic music and metal.

With the EBU R 128 loudness standards, developed by truly farsighted audio engineers to counteract the loudness war phenomenon, I got a solid foundation for my ambition to create clean and dynamic soundtracks without using signal-degrading compressors or limiters.
Even without using compressors and limiters, I don't have to worry about the signal peaks in the master track, as they barely scratch the -5 dB mark.

Soundtrack productions mastered at EBU R 128 loudness standards may be produced just half as loud (much like the soundtracks of the early 80s) as most modern soundtracks (still, remember: "The listener owns the volume knob.").
But they have the great potential to sound much better than their compressed versions, which often contain more elements of bloody sound surgery than sophisticated sound design.

And...
You won't have these nasty loudness jumps between different tracks, different music genres oder different audio programs in general if you master your tracks at EBU R 128 standards.

...

The original track, on which I based this remix, became quite famous with the Playstation game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater (also called "Tony Hawk's Skateboarding" in some countries).
And since I really digged this song when I played the game as a teenager, I decided to use my new mixing skills and my new professional studio tools to create a kinda worthy remix of this track.

So, I put a lot of time, effort, passion and inner fire into the new composition of this remix, and I really had a lot of fun creating it with my own musical style, which in this case consists of a nice alternation of ambient soundscapes, heavy rock parts and some casual jazzy lines.

…

I'm not fully sure what kind of compositions or remixes I will do next.

But no matter what the future holds - let's mosey. ))

Just a little something I wanted to bust out, I know it's not very good and probably not in perfect time, I know I should use a metronome when recording but I fucking hate those things, I just play it how ever it comes out. Anyway this is a great obscure tune from a great obscure NES game called Star Tropics.
