Krobonil {l Wrote}:It just feels a bit fast when you return from a race to the menu. I suggest to reduce the BPM but just a little bit.
I think the new remix is OK, and there's no need to reduce its BPM. On the other hand, I think it's the end-race-music that should be changed as well, to match the new music by @0zone0ne.
Take the video I linked above,
at 1:48. The music at the end of a race sucks even more than the one in the title screen, it's totally stomach-churning. Compare it with this instead,
about 4'30".
Krobonil {l Wrote}:The part at 24" (stroke 17) does a bit too much. It remains a bit of the XR-891 music
Just out of curiosity, what does "stroke 17" and "XR-891" mean?
Krobonil {l Wrote}:What would you expect at this place as a player? Or what makes that part sounding weird to you? Could you tell us maybe which sort of weird? (may sound weird too but it helps us)
Weird like... to me at least it sounds like a remix between two tunes that are too much different. The general tune is very lively and nice, but that segment sounds like a complete change of pace and pitch. It's just not smooth. I don't know what could fit there better, but anyway I think the real issue to me is the second 24. If anybody can change or cut it, I think the music would be fine. Hope this helps, otherwise feel free to ask me again
Krobonil {l Wrote}:The actual main-theme is not bad but - is it really this good or is it more a habit to protect it? A question I'm asking myself sometimes...
I think you might just be used to the current theme, therefore it sounds good to you because you have accepted it. As a player though, it makes a huge difference. The current theme is really very little lively, it almost sounds like a placeholder to me.
