So I recently got back into messing around with a old copy of Reason 2.5 I bought a long time ago and decided to take a stab at remixing some of the old Turbo MIDI's that are out there. For these mixes, I took an already existing MIDI, imported it into Reason, then picked out the sample or synth that I thought sounded good for that particular track. I'm not an expert at this by any means, but I know when something sounds reasonably good and wanted to share my remixes for all of you to enjoy. As a side note, if you know who composed the tracks that I don't have names for, please let me know so that I may credit them.
Original MIDI composer: Unknown / 2008 Remix by Aaron Nanto / http://www.pcenginefx.com/temp/Remixes/NantoRemix_YsPalace.mp3
(192kbps/3.6MB)NOTES: Being my first remix song, I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out. I think the remix sounds very "Falcomish" with the instruments that I picked out. There is a problem at the end of the sequence, but this was in the original MIDI file and thus was not fixed. For those who are familiar with Reason, I used 6 Malstrom Synths and 3 NN-XT's for a 9 track mix.
THINGS TO LISTEN FOR: At 00:25 the main melody starts in the left ear, somewhat faint. It sounds like the entire piece is repeating itself till 01:00 but this is not the case. My favorite section is at 01:49 which sounds wonderful thanks to the original midi sequence. One other track that isn't so obvious (but totally reminds me of Mass Effect) is a fast background synth "pulsing" that I put in which you can hear it clearly at 02:21 for a few seconds while I fade out.
Version 2 of "Palace" Remix
Original MIDI composer: Unknown / 2008 v2 Remix by Aaron Nanto / http://www.pcenginefx.com/temp/Remixes/NantoRemix_YsPalace_v2.mp3
(192kbps/3.6MB)NOTES: An updated version of the original "Palace" MIDI file, this time I fixed the ending sequence and changed the mix somewhat to put more emphases on the main melody. I also changed some of the sounds a little - overall a more polished and final remix which I'm very happy with now.

(192kbps/4.2MB)NOTES: This one took about 4 hours to remix due to the complexity of the sequence (14 tracks!). This one is interesting because I put a mix of real sounding instruments with synth. I also cleaned up some notes that were out of place in the original sequence. Enjoy.
