Gemlik Base Soundtrack Reimagined (Hybrid Orchestral)

- If you'd like to support me and get bonus music, I'm on Patreon!: / xotla A reimagining of the soundtrack to Gemlik Base, Oltanis Orbit from the original Ratchet and Clank game. Recreated from scratch in a hybrid orchestral style, with a much more bombastic tone. I hunted out most of the original samples used in the track to aid in its reconstruction, and built new orchestral and synth layers around them. This isn't attempting to be a remaster, but a tribute with a bit of a different style to the original. Enjoy!

Anyone interested in hearing any other tracks reimagined?
I would love to hear a reimagining of "Traversing the fortress"
Maybe make the Ratchet Orxon stage sound more creepy or catchy, I like the atmosphere although it's bland on repeat
Maybe veldin in peril reimagined?
please!
I love your Ratchet and Clank reimagined videos, I'd be interested if you want to make more of these
this is what the remake's soundtrack should have been
It's also too bad this level wasn't included in the reimagining
nah the remake is too terrible of a game to have a good soundtrack like this, the generic/bland one it has matches the overall game perfectly
@@fightaman7The game that was made, yes - but the argument here is that a better game could've easily been made instead
@@fightaman7come off it, clown. You have no idea what a terrible game actually is if you think that's bad.
The remake cut half the planets to rush it out with the movie
THIS is how the R&C soundtracks should sound, the combindation of the orchestra and punchy mechanical/grungey instruments works so well
Gemlik Base has such an amazing theme, this adds so much to it while retaining the R&C feel expertly! Really well done
dude. That visibomb segment goes insanely hard. great remix
that explosion in sync hahaha savage
Pure art, well done
This is great! It's like if Gemlik was in RaC 3, like how the Metropolis themes differ.
Facts 🔥
Now this feels like a going commando track
This sounds like how it would sound in the Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal soundtrack, less garage and tech and more bombastic, loud orchestra. Very nice
I'm not sure what this remix makes me feel. The orchestral notes give it such an INTENSE feel compared to the funky but vast moodiness of the original. I really like it either way. The sampling of the visibomb's SFX early on in the song was an especially good transition for the bass to come back in!
It's like "I'm creeped out but I need to go deeper"
I liked the simplicity of the original and this kinda robs the BASSLINE of its power because there's so much else going on, but I appreciate the effort that went into making this a thing
If you ever feel like doing another like this, could I recommend Tabora Mining Area? Its my top favorite track of all time (in any video game ever)
This one is probably up in top 5 though for ratchet Osts! Great work.
Yes Patrick, devastator missiles are an Instrument.
I DONT KNOW WHO YOU ARE but thank you for bringing my childhood back into my life
I really like the lil fade in with the audio at the very beginning
Duuude this goes so hard, please make more mixes!!
The original Gremlik's Base is one of my favorite tracks from the game, but man you knocked it out of the park with this reimagining. I love the intense style of this as much as I love the alien and ethereal style of the original. Phenomenal work from someone who is obviously a big big fan of that soundtrack and musical style of the original game
Wow, this is phenomenal. You've transformed a track which was already one of the most atmospheric into something driving and powerful. Exactly what the reimagining's soundtrack should have been - still quite disappointed we missed out on even a revised level, let alone a track like this. Fantastic job, you should be very proud of what you've created!
Best Level and Song and Atmosphere + Great section of the playthrough and the awesome Red Mask, W Remix 🔥
Wow man. You're a king!
I kid you not, the moment I entered in this level, the music was just so good, I stood there for minutes, listening. Now this.... This is just a fantastic job, that makes me love it even more mate
I absolutely ADORE this re-imagining! The hybrid orchestra gives me a big vibe of "what if Gemlik Base was in Going Commando."
Or "what if gemlik base orbited a black hole"
The legend has returned!
This is dope af man, great styling while keeping the original spooky tone in place, love the gameplay too ;P
Couldn't have tried this with a better R&C 1 track, and you did an amazing job
0:36 I got chills
Amazing work on this! This has always been my favorite track, hearing it so different yet so familiar is cool, love just how much variety is packed in here too, it all sounds genuinely great.
MORE BASS!!!!!!!! really nice remix man
1:37 sounds so awesome
Glad to see you back!
DUDE HOLY SHIT
The Devestator equip and fire sound for the drop goes so hard
This reimagining is so good, feels like it's a R&C3 version that was lost. Amazing job
Returning after qwark faked his death to find gemlik's dead husk and search for clues on qwark
Really cool and unique!
Love it!
This is my favorite out of your reimagined tracks. It fits so insanely well while still bringing so much new flair. Great job.
oooh when the Veldin motif hit, my ears screamed in joy... this is so good!!
There is nothing that hits me harder than those Devastator SFXs. Top tier
This is the sort of score the remake needed.
Sounds amazing, well done!
This is awesome, love all your R&C1 stuff!
Holy shit... Excellent work.
Sounds awesome!
Love how you timed the tower destruction for the gold bolt with the song 😆
I didn't even knew there was a gold bolt there till now. You learn something new everyday 😄
DUDE. This is one of the coolest things I've heard in a very long time. Subscribed
awesome work, i want to hear more
This is really nice. I've been trying to do similar for some time now, but my hunt for samples has been more of a hit or miss in comparison so I've not been as successful. It's still amazing to see that I'm not alone in keeping the OG R&C music spirit going.
Many come from the 'X-Static Goldmine' CDs if you're looking for the samples.
Just checking out your stuff now, awesome as. I assume you already knew about those from what I'm hearing. The community needs a page where we can collate every sample we've found
Gemlik pulls heavily from vol. 4 fwiw
@@xotlagames fwiw? and yeah some are definitely harder than others, I'm disappointed in how hard metropolis is to recreate (as well as the UYA version with those sick synths)
@@RavenVI For what it's worth (fwiw). I'm giving metropolis a go soon, wish me luck! Yours is excellent
This is impressive. I love it!
You did a great job! (I'm an old school class of 96 fan) you managed to capture the "old essence" perfectly!!!! 💛
I love listening to the music from Gemlik Base but Honestly, This remix of Gemlik Base is freaking incredible and it even works for high-stakes moments like what if it is going through a asteroid storm while still exploring and battling Captain Qwark. I rate it in my opinion, 10/10. 💙
Welcome back my guy. Good music as always. And too answer you comment pokitaru jowai resort reimagined. Now that would be a Banger
I absolutely love the original OST, but this is fucking FIRE!!! Great work
It's a masterpiece
Whole area open to vacuum? A breathing mask will be fine. Don't even need to wear a shirt!
I kid, but honestly I kinda love it when cartoony stuff just doesn't sweat things like that.
There are some parts of this I love and some parts I'm mixed on. The big brass stings that make for your bombastic tone don't really do it for me when i compare it to what i like and how the original makes me feel, perhaps I'd like it better if it came in later because I think it works very well in the second half of the song and the way it builds up to the big break during the visibomb segment. I do think that change is quite strong specifically on its own merits without the comparison to the original however. I also really like how you handled some of the more ambient sections like the opener, closer, and the break in the middle of the song.
You're right about it not being a remaster, and it makes a damn strong tribute on its own terms and I quite enjoy that about it! The outro was absolutely excellent in particular.
very well made
Great work man!
That's so cool! Amazing job! :D
When I played the remake I was disappointed that this level wasn't included. Looking back I realized I'm not a fan of the remake anyway so I'm glad this level went untainted.
really REALLY good
Cool reimagined soundtrack of best soundtrack in the gamereimagined
very very cool work
Very cool :D
Omg this is so good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gemlik Based ;)
Running the gaunlet from Deadlocked next please
that's cool dude
This is sick!
3:32 that end part is so good
I like
My scans cannot detect Chairman Drek in this station. We must of missed him.
0:36 ok that was awesome
Make more orchestral of ratchet and clank, please 🙏 I love this.
sounds like ratchet & clank generations or a remake with current models
This is what the 2016 RAC soundtrack should have been. Oh well...
3:18 I didn't know about this part of the level
Ohhhh man. A fan made a theme BETTER THAN sony!
Wow. This shoulda been in the remake! Were you inspired to mix both the gemlik base and the quark space battle theme??
I hear hints of it! Also bits and pieces of batalia
duuuuuude yes
İf this level was on the ps4 ratchet remake they should have this playing🎵
Not bad rlly Like it
I'VE PLAYED THIS GAME A THOUSAND TIMES AND I NEVER KNEW YOU COULD GET THE GEMLIK GOLD BOLT THAT WAY WTF
I've been getting it the virgin way this whole time, by coming back after beating quark 🤡
Things like this and the bolt in the tunnel on orxon are part of why I think these games hold up so well, they reward you for going out of your way to explore every corner of their worlds for secrets. It feels as though you're breaking the game's rules despite playing into exactly what the developers intended.
If Ratchet 2016 reimagined the same planets from 2002, they could’ve done the same with the music
1:18-1:37
2:35-3:13
If they ever do a proper remake submit this shi cause vould fit better than a gauntlet
ayyy
Gemlik Base if it reappeared in R&C3
Anyone else think this woulda been a great song for Toonami promos and trailers?
I hope that change in bassline was intentional.
gemlik base if it came back in uya:
Bro make it a mixtape make the music feel like you can freestyle
yo this fuckin slaps! definitely a step up from the original.
Im intrested what libraries do you use
Sonuscore The Orchestra primarily for this one:)
bro, do you have midi of the main melody? for fl studio plz))
Unfortunately I don't have the time at the moment, but it would be a good exercise in transcription to listen through while playing along until you get all the right notes :)
Don't get me wrong this is really good but it kind of doesn't work, something I personally love about the songs is the dryness to them how everything is extremely clear and not layered to hell.
You're right, I wanted to go super over the top with this one. I'll make it up to you by making a downtempo minimalist version ;)
It's a pretty common amateur's mistake to add to many layers when making music. But I do it anyway apparently.
I get what you're going for, you're trying to make it sound big and dynamic, but you've done it with loudness which is very focused, the added instruments entirely drown out the original track, with some tweaking it could amazing.
@@Cade_Squirrel Thanks for that, I'll take you thoughts on board. fwiw this was a from-scratch recreation, it doesn't contain the original track (only the same samples it used).
@@xotlagames That's very cool you re-created the original track, I've toyed with the samples David used, making my own songs or remaking songs.
Good remix. I don't like it that much. It's not to my taste but that doesn't mean it isn't good it is well made just some areas aren't my thing and I hate orchestral or 'certain ways' instrumentation can be presented. Also for atmospheric tracks I prefer electronic more not classical/some instrument choices or structure/sound design choices for them. I'm very sound design picky for not being an artist at all (but do a bit of experimenting in my own time, not with good software though). Sound design tricks/structural patterns appeal to me a lot so. XD
I do prefer it leaning into things differently but I won't deny if they were to go an orchestral route I think this would make sense. If it was Spyro Reignited but enhanced I probably would like it that much either. I like I liked Hurricos more in Reignited, it's a track I didn't appreciate till Reignited the differences (was also a track they highlighted as well).
That and the 2016 soundtrack was forgettable or doesn't even feel distinct. It feels like any generic track over a location then 'hmm we need a city, a space station, a toxic planet' more atmospheric focus differences applied like 2000s games and older used to have, sigh. RIP this level not in 2016 game, one of my favourite levels for so many reasons. Hard, but fun. Like Spyro 1 Tree Tops, hard as ever but like the best level for music and level design.
I think the calmer bits before it builds up didn't lean into the bass or space side as much. Listening to it again it is better (part of it is my headset/audio testing this with than another headset).
Or is a bit lacking in conveying much, but I also get why orchestral doesn't do that (or the choices people choose for the instruments that can) while more electronic would. The ramping up makes sense in that orchestral way though so that suits it. I didn't as exciting as the original or what I have in my head but it does work it does seem like what would happen to convey it if someone were to do an orchestral mix.
It's a fair approach but not really my thing, I give it half and half in certain areas. Takes effort to make this just in general though so not discounting that.
Just not really my thing even though I respect it. It is like worry though.
Thanks for your feedback. I really only made this track to see if I could recreate Gemlik base from scratch using the original samples as a challenge, got bored of replicating every sound, and added horns instead. There wasn't much more thought put into it than that so I'm not at all fussed that people don't love it :)
the trumpet sounds way too aggressive. it's like the trumpet farts they use in the modern R&C games that try to sound epic and grand

based reply@@xotlagames
It’s good, but I think the orchestral energy takes away from the OG track’s mystic atmosphere.
Still one hell of a solid cover.
Gemlik if ratchet knew they were walking into a trap, during an asteroid storm, whilst it was about to self destruct
pretty much RAC3-ifying the first game.
Don't like it too much, adds too much to allow it to retain the vibe of being in the dangerous, lonely and spooky vastness of space, but doesn't add enough to be it's own punchy remix that stands up by iteself. It feels like what it is, the original music with some extra fanfiction added to the dead spaces.
Aye ;)
