New Track: PreviewSet

Posted by Karco - November 15th, 2008


11-19-08: Just a quick update, there's a very small chance that, due to circumstances beyond my control, I won't be able to submit the Instrumental #4 remix on Friday like I've promised. If you don't see it appear on Friday, you all can expect it on Saturday for sure. ;)

--

Finally! :D Download it here, and read on for descrptions and times of each preview. Keep in mind that these are all outdated, or that it's not possible to continue on them - except for the Instrumental #4 remix, which is a clip of the finished version.

If you want to, leave a comment telling me what you think! I'd appreciate it. :)

1. Forever: 0:00 - 1:03
Me freestyling on a pad with, of all things, my computer's keyboard. :D This is the first and only render, as I can't access the FLP anymore.

2. Slide: 1:03 - 2:07
This too has become a broken FLP, but it's a house/acid-ish project I started for a change, and never finished. Funny thing, it matches keys pretty well with Forever and Mech. I looped it twice, as the original render was pretty short.

3. Mech: 2:07 - 3:22
This is another track I can't continue anymore, so all I've got left is this render from June! Like with Slide, I looped it once at the end just to extend it a little bit.

4. UntitledMelodic: 3:22 - 5:08
An original Trance track that never really went anywhere past what you hear here. There are some nice concepts, I just don't know where to take them. :(

5. Instrumental #4 (Karco's See The Light Remix): 5:08 - 6:48
I've pulled out a bit of the second break, and the entire first peak, for this preview. For many of you, this is the first time you've heard the Instrumental #4 Remix - so enjoy! The full track is going up this Friday, the 21st.

New Track: PreviewSet


Comments

Wow... it's a shame you can't finish those first few tracks, because they all sound pretty cool. "Forever" seems like one of those tracks that has the ability to go on for ten minutes with only a pad playing, and never get boring. I like that type of thing. I thought Slide was really nice, and although I wasn't a huge fan of Mech it still sounds great. Untitled Melodic... something about that song reminded me of your Paradise on E remix, only more laid-back and atmospheric. I really like that one.

The Instrumental #4 remix sounds great, of course. I liked the small things you added, they really make the track sound so much better. I can't wait until this comes out!

Now that's the thing. Forever could have been a third of the entire PreviewSet, I just had to cut it short to keep the size and length reasonable. ;)

Thanks for the comment and the support!

Hey Karco!
I know this may seem a little late, and I don't care if it's not going to be on the single, but I've ripped the tune from your Unleashed song and remixed. It's rough, and might take a while, but I'm still working on it.

Check it out: <a href="http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/187432">http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/187432</a>

Another Unleashed remix? XD I'll give it a listen. Thanks!

Tell you what - I see quite a lot of potential there. I'll let it go on the Single, if I can open the FLP and rework a few elements. Just worry about finishing it for now. :D

Though I hope there's no Nexus1 in there, because I can't open that.

Oh no, that is not good at all Karco, I do have Nexus 1 :[
Do you want me to just leave the Nexus parts blank and name what preset they were?

Eh. If it's possible for you to easily describe how you got to the sounds you used, then they're not different enough from the original presets. :\ Finish the track for now and we'll worry about the rest later.

Okay, if you could be on AIM more frequently, or make a new one for depth discussion to avoid the bother from other artists. It would be much easier to discuss things with you.

True. This works fine for now though.

You kept me hooked the entire way bro! When I opened the file at first all I wanted to do was listen to Inst#4 but dang! I loved every second of it, Forever was really catchy but it sounded sort of random at times, then you brought Slide and I instantly felt in love the demo, from there I realised I couldnt just skip it to 5:08 and the feeling became stronger when I listened to MECH!

UntitledMelodic (as you said) has really great elements, it would be awesome if you could find a way to finish it ; )

SO WE FINALLY GOT THERE! The moment we all been waiting for: Instrumental #4 (Karco See The Light Remix)!!! I see you took the piano from the original, something that in my personal opinion wasn't very professional lol but WHO CARES :D I love it man! Mastering flawless, structure is killer, arrange is perfect! Cant wait till Friday!!! D:

I NEED IT NAO! D:<

Heh, sounds like you like it all. :D Thanks!

I'll have you know that taking the piano from the original did take some effort. I had to cut it off of the original MP3, and then slice it to the right length. SOME effort. :P Though you'll notice in listening to professional trance, that if a piano trance track is remixed, the remixes will always have the same piano.

And yeah, you'll have to wait like (almost) everyone else. D:

Well all of this awesomeness is just making me more and more depressed that you're leaving. I'll save my detailed comments though for when the full remix is released. I'm really impressed with everything you've accomplished so far bro and I'll be loggin on after work on the 21st to listen. :-D

Once again, my music will be as publicly available as it'll need to be, so no worries. :)

Sounds good!

Damn forgot to review it. Altough, first impression was really good :)
Keep it up karco, nice to hear something new from you. Still find it sad that your leaving aswell :'(. Let the Karco-ness contineu

No worries. :) Yeah, I figured I'd at least make a collection of all these tracks I'm never going to finish/won't finish for a while, plus one teaser. ;D

GAH. I'M NOT LEAVING. JUST NOT SUBMITTING. HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO REPEAT MYSELF? D:

ok
