Title: Castlevania arranges for all!
Post by: TheMalphas on October 23, 2012, 07:15:36 AM
Hi! I'm kind of a new user but I have been lurking around for many years now, so I thought I could contribute with some fanart.

I recently made (and plan to keep making) arranges from some Castlevania games and some original soundtracks.

There are lots of arranges out there, but I just couldn't find many of the ones I was looking for. Criticism accepted since I want to improve as much as I can.

Also, since I want to keep practicing with Castlevania songs so feel free to request any a specific arranges you want; I will make it and put it on youtube ASAP.

Here's my arrange of proof of blood from the fangame "Dracula's shadow" (Or from the game Castlevania: Circle of the Moon)

Finally, if there is any castlevania song which you would like to see arranged, feel free to suggest it!

Short and sweet!
I'm fond of that 'harsh waltz' style of sound.

Thanks, I have listened to many of your arranges as well and they are awesome! You are such an inspiration!
I also made this one:

By the way, is it ok if I just post on this topic the arranges I keep making?

Maybe I should lower a bit the volume of the bass-guitar-thing for this one.

I'm always happy to see some new people with their own spin on videogame tunes, especially from beloved Castlevania series.
I'm happy that I've inspired you...  but I'm more happy that you're sharing stuff with the community. :D

Also, "The Vampire's Stomach" is pretty great.  Good samples and good instrumentation.

Jorge I beleive you were the forefather of the Castlevania fan music,

 and I agree I love hearing Bloodlines music remixed, never enough of Castlevania music though, I hope you continue your remixes though, id like to hear more of them
for example, Proof of Blood, there isnt many remixes of it that arnt flat out rock version from what ive seen, your version has a sense of elegence, hard to explain, other then it sounds like it would fit in with any of Michi's works

Hope you all like it!

I will post new arranges soon. However, I was wondering... can I post here castlevania-like original songs or should I change the name of the entire topic? Thanks in advance!

You may put originals, however it might be better and less confusing if you make a new topic with those.  Whatever you wanna do.

Thanks, I'll make another topic for it then.

Why does the sound sometimes drop out?  Are you losing polyphony or something?
It would sound great otherwise.

The quality is actually pretty nice and sounds right when compared to the original too. I like this a lot I think you should keep going with these at least for a little while anyhow.

There were a couple of particular songs I have been really wanting to hear redone that no one has touched yet. I can't remember the names of them off the top of my head but when I get around to figuring out which ones it was I will post them and if you get to them awesome if not oh well.

If you tell me the name of the songs I will gladly try. I warn you, though, I'm really slow.

As for the sound drop outs... I'm using a free version of a guitar effect I found so it does that once in a while to remind me it's free. I recently downloaded tons of new effects but I haven't had time to use them all yet. Hopefully I will find a better one once I start messing with them a bit more.
