Sonic R - Reactive Factory : Work It Out (Player2 Remix)

[@Equalyze]

Wonderfully done, Player2! Fittingly, the style of this remix feels very reminiscent of late 90's dance music, and of those high-energy track from the original Dance Dance Revolution - yet modernized to exceed 2022 music standards. It's an excellent balance of old- and new-school! The singing here sounds so clear, vibrant, and expressive, and the mixing with the instrumental track you've created is immaculate. Clearly, this is the work of a professional! Again, your friend's performance style is quite a propos for music characteristic of the era in which this game was originally released - kudos to both of you for that! I'm particularly fond of the percussive elements here. The pre-clap sound (is it a reversed clap or rising white noise, maybe?) is a great lead in to those big hits, and I love the use of auxiliary percussion to supplement and enrich the beat. And dude, that breakdown to the half-time rhythm at 3:11 with those dubstep drums was just pure ear candy. I was legitimately like "woah, nice!" when I heard that the first time through. And of course, your integration of SFX is seamless and works in a way to enhance the music. The sounds used here are iconic enough for even a Sonic novice like myself to recognize. The way they assist with transitions and emphasize key points in the music shows the thought, creativity, and effort that go into the timing, placement, and selection of sounds - which is not an easy process! I completely agree with the message in your description - working together selflessly, encouraging and building up one another is what it's all about. And your supportive community is an exemplar of that. :D Keep up the stellar work, my man! 🌟

Wow I never thought I'd be compared to the likes of a DDR track! That means the world to me!! I'm extremely proud of the mixing on this remix; I'm not even afraid to mention I spent *WEEKS* getting the vocals & backing track to sound as best as they could together! It's one thing to have a basic song where the vocals are just sitting on top of everything...but when you've got an awesome melody & in-game SFX in the background, there has to be a way to translate everything! The "pre-clap" is actually riser effect that I warped 2X speed so it sounded shorter, and when I got to that third chorus, I _had_ to implement half-time percussion! It just seemed like the perfect way to finish off such an epic soundtrack! It's always gratifying reading your comments; thank you very much & I apprecite your attention to detail! ✨

Awesome!! Lemuria TFT is amazing 🤩 Thank you for coming by & leaving a comment, I appreciate your support! 🙌

[@pjcrupe2749]

This is honestly one of the most beautiful remixes I’ve heard in my life

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Wow that's such an honor to hear! Thank you so much!!! 🧡

[@obeschable]

This is going to blow up no doubt. wonderful remix

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you so much, Owen! I appreciate you saying that!! 🙌😎

[@RussyPopDnD]

Why would your friend want to remain anonymous??? She's amazing!!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

I have no clue!!! She mentioned she wanted to take her music style in a different direction...either way, I'm super grateful she allowed me to record her vocals for this outstanding OST!

[@SteelDragon8]

I normally don't listen to tracks with vocals, but my goodness! Those vocals are great along with the mastery of a Player2 remix! Your anonymous friend has a great voice! Awesome job as always :D

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Me too, I don’t usually remix vocal tracks; but this was an exception!! Haha, couldn’t resist remixing something from this game. And thank you!! I’ll relay the message to her 😁

[@TheCreepypro]

not just a sweet remix but also some mighty fine vocals? you love to hear it!

[@swerpee]

This makes me wish they'd re-release the game on modern consoles. Incredible work!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you!! I completely agree; i wish they’d re-release these random spinoff titles, haha!

[@shilze1]

I don't think I've ever heard vocals like your friend has, they're really interesting! they did a great job.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you!! Yeah, she's originally a Jazz singer! But quite frankly I think she sounds fantastic over EDM-style music as well! 🙌

[@zozo6135]

last thing I expected to see in my yt reccommended from you but Sonic R has a banger ost and this just slaps

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha! Seriously though, this game has no right to have such an epic soundtrack 🔥 thank you!

[@Caldinovin]

This cover totally blew me away! Amazing job!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it!! 🔥

[@Caldinovin]

@@ProducerPlayer2 And may I add that friend of yours who sang in this has a wonderful voice!

[@frostnova2144]

You and your friend are insanely talented, my god this absolutely slaps

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you so much! We're both perfectionists, so the remix turned out better than expected! 🔥

[@tonysan1859]

This is probably on my top 5 favorite soundtracks ever, this is a fantastic remix. Hoping for the rest of the soundtrack in the future!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Sonic R truly has one of the best VGM Soundtracks; will definitely be remixing the others eventually!!

[@skybricksgaming8392]

So I literally got a nosebleed halfway through this song and had to listen to it again like 5 minutes later and if that doesn’t tell you how much of a banger this is I don’t know what will. Also, words?!? This was a neat surprise, it was cool to see how your style mixed with full lyrics (even though you’ve done it before I think, was still a nice surprise). Fun song, excited for the next one.

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha, oh no!! Hope that got resolved 😆 Thanks for the kind words as always, yeah this was the first remix with recorded vocals (in past remixes i’ve just used ripped audio, like the DK Rap for example) but yeah! It was super fun using brand new vocals & this song taught me a LOT of how to mix with vocals. Had a blast recording this! 🙌

[@tatertot64]

One of my all-time favorites of yours. It just feels like you had an awesome time making this. Up there with DK Rap and Robo Roll for my favs.

[@Jc_Strife]

Love it... A much more modern version that keeps the aspects from the original. Can't wait for the spotify upload!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you very much! Spotify coming soon 🔥

[@dreinacho]

Why does this only have 8k views, that is such an amazing remix and i didnt even know the game/original song. great work, you got my sub

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Haha, I’m a relatively small VGM remixer, but I’m grateful for every one of those 8k views!! Thank you for subscribing-I _super_ appreciate your support! 🙌

[@des67gillou27]

Insane !!!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you!!! I had SO much fun producing this remix!!! 🔥

[@mirandatherose5487]

This. This is amazing! You remixed the background track so well, and the new vocals are fantastic (your friend has a really nice voice! I hope she does more in the future) I might even prefer this to original in some ways (this version is a bit slower? Calmer? But it still keeps the dance beat all the same?) great work as always Player2!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you Miranda!!! Yeah, this was a tough remix to get perfect; i spent MANY days trying to get her vocals & backing track to mix well, but i’m super happy with how it turned out!! 🙌

[@Mezer_PoE]

What a fucking BANGER

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Hahah, THANK YOU!! 🔥

[@broshigames]

Great remix! I was worried for a second that you wouldn’t post this weekend, but you pulled through! Glad to get another weekly Player2 remix!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Thank you!! Yeah this one took just a bit longer to render, so I had to post on a Saturday! Still aiiming for weekly remixes 😎

[@Caedynna]

Oh heck yes, this soundtrack is amazing, always happy to hear remixes from it!

Never would I have imagined you'd cover a song from this classic!!! Sounds sooo goood my man wellll done❤‍🔥😍 New workout song to jam to for sure ahahaha!!

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Hahaha I like to throw curveballs every once in awhile 😏 the best part of producing music is listening to your creations in different settings; I literally ran to this to see if it fits the workout style and/or if it sounds good in earbuds so that the mix translates well on smaller speakers!

that's crazy to consider: _work it out_ is approaching 30 freaking years! yet, i'd bet, even in 2022 / 2023, you could play this and an average person would reckon this a _New Release_ tj would be proud of your anonymous friend's take jacque would love your beat-making by any chance, did you work on _living in the city_ too, 2?

30 years?! GOOD GREIF! No other Sonic R music yet, however,I am in the works of the entire Sonic R soundtrack; planning to release an EP with all the music in the future! 🔥

Man, Sonic music is so good!! I never actually played this game, but I'm always happy to hear new Sonic remixes, especially by talented remixers like yourself! I love how uplifting and catchy this song is. And wow, what a fantastic job on the vocals! Your friend has a great voice, and the vocal track is mixed really well, with the delays and the harmonies, it sounds professional! Excellent job! 👍 Also, how do you like my new profile pic... 😆

[@ProducerPlayer2]

Right?! Sonic music never disappoints!! The fact that all the songs from this game are this uplifting is what made me want to remix this song in particular; and yes she did a *phenomenal* job with harmonizing! Thank you for your continuous support!! I’m lovin’ the new profile pic; it stands out from the crowd! 😎
