Don't get me wrong, I totally get what you are saying. I have the entire James Bond collection on Blu-Ray so I've heard all the scores, numerous times. A personal favorite has to be David Arnold's Tomorrow Never Dies score for me personally, then On Her Majesty's Secret Service for the complete opposite effect.

Take anything that Mick Gordon has produced for the latest Killer Instinct or Wolfenstein etc, hooking up random tools and utensils to the inside of a piano to get unique sounds out of it, composing scores on his own or with an orchestra / choir ranging from metal, classical, dubstep, hard rock, house etc, all in a single game. That guy is an idle!

However my point still stands that this is a free MOD, which only exists because numerous people have devoted their own free time outside of their jobs and general day to day life to put in the hard hours to achieve something which is frankly better than most early access / green light / crowd funded games imo.

I'm just saying that it just seems too socially acceptable to come across as entitled these days, criticizing without stepping forward to be a part of the solution, which frankly could put a few people off contributing in the first place which would be a shame for the end result.

Would love to hear some more remixes of some of our tunes, we have some songs that are a too slow for deathmatch play (imo) and could use some bpm's. Give that a go and I would reconsider depending on the output.

Song spruce up suggestion: Shaken & Stirred

Here's my effort so far with the spruce up, I'm pretty happy with the overall palette after numerous changes here and there but still want to flesh this thing out to at least double the current length and add in more original parts.

var zippywww="1";var zippyfile="SI7A5rno";var zippydown="ffffff";var zippyfront="000000";var zippyback="ffffff";var zippylight="000000";var zippywidth=20;var zippyauto=false;var zippyvol=80;var zippydwnbtn = 1;

Being ZippyShare be sure to hit the little HD icon up the top right of the WAV form if you are going to stream it ;)

As much as I planned on playing all guitar parts myself, I can't help but dig that digitized guitar sound that's in the mix currently, it sounds a lot like one used predominantly in the original N64 game so I just get nostalgia every time I hear it :) I did play some guitar parts around 0:35 however. 1:20 sees some better quality Orkester sounds from Reason come in too.

Overall I'd say this remix was influenced by Propellerheads - Spybreak! and Backseat Driver from Tomorrow Never Dies by David Arnold / Propellerheads only with some more up to date (phatter?) sounding drums.

Let me know what you think so far I'm always open to constructive feedback and am happy to try and change things up accordingly :)

Cheers!

I like your overall progress with the track, however I get too much of an electronic/dance mix vibe from it rather than the track incorporating the familiar bond style of music that basstronix, soul, and goldenzen use, but at the same time I'm still positive about your work and the things you can do! Best of luck on your application!

Hey cheers for the feedback!

I have to admit, I've already been tempted to write a second, more cafe style mix using more ambient style beats and sounds for less Matrix style gun fights and more focus on stealth... watch this space? :)

And thank you for your kind words and well wishes!
