Liontamer Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Original Decision: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=32717 Hi, Attached is a resub of my Ufouria remix, titled "Above the Clouds." I've made a ton of additions and changes since it was rejected back in early May, and I feel like it's a much better, fuller song now, without sacrificing the floaty feel I was going for. I'd list all the changes, but I don't want to spoil everything. They should be pretty self-evident when compared to the original sub. Below you'll find the original submission email, for reference. Thanks, Josh Freund (Drakken) ------------------------------ The sequencing/timing was still a little stiff, but clearly improved. The strings at :32 sounded somewhat pasted on top of the soundscape; once could argue that for much of the new part-writing introduced here, but I thought it was solid enough. I still thought this did a great job adding some more personalized writing ideas to the arrangement, giving it a bit more character and substance, while not disturbing the overall mood of the previous version. And with some of the left-hand writing spiced up and the timing not sounding as robotic, I really thought this clicked that much better. Very glad you were willing to take another shot at this one Josh, you really did a good job of better realizing the potential here. Nice.

OceansAndrew Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I definitely am feeling the additions/revisions here. I liked it before, I like it more now. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Much better writing, much better mixing, better humanization. That last one is still a little bit of a sore spot, but I agree that the whole package is good enough to pass at this point. Thanks for making the fixes!

Nutritious Posted July 14, 2011 Share Posted July 14, 2011 Very nice resub here man. I've heard quite a few versions of this track now - first on the workshop forums, last sub, and now - and it's been steadily improving throughout. Liked the little extra touches you added, like the occasional rimshot thrown in. Sounds like balance is improved here and left-hand writing is better. Way to stick with it YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Just got a mail from Josh today with a further revised version thanks to feedback from Level 99. ------------- Improved EQ version of "Above the Clouds" (Ufouria remix) Hi Larry, Attached is the final version of my "Above the Clouds" remix. I tried to implement the EQ changes Stevo suggested in the WIP thread, and as a result we both feel the song is now fuller and clearer. Apologies for taking so long, but I wanted to hear back from Stevo and get confirmation on the improvements before sending it to you. Thanks! -Josh Freund (Drakken) PS I know it's not "official" yet, but I'm thrilled to see my song in the To Be Posted queue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
