DragonAvenger Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDcCeTzaCZo - Boss http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vhz-AkxDc3U&feature=results_video&playnext=1&list=PL63638841CD0EC110 - boss intro http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QcONLI6rTM- Doppler Demo (Not sure if this is the correct source for that) ----------------------------- Very brutal. I love that you picked some themes that wouldn't normally be considered. Metal definitely works for these themes, and I like the strong approach to all of them. Overall I do wish there was a little more development of the actual track, and wish you could expand more on the themes, but with the project files gone, I'm still OK giving this a pass as is.

OceansAndrew Posted June 28, 2012 Author Share Posted June 28, 2012 Cool vocal effect to start things out, and some rocking, followed by harmonize screaming. This has a lot of style going for it. I do feel like there is just a lot of chug chuggin and not much melody for the duration, but it accurately portrays the largely rhythmic sources. I do wish it was going a little further, but the level of expansion already here is enough to take the source to the next level. The recordings are punchy, and there are some cool moments that give it personality. It’s close, but I’ll be voting Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 the drums felt pretty thin to me, and the sequencing a bit stiff, but overall the production was pretty serviceable and the arrangement was definitely rocking. agreed with OA's comment about the lack of a strong melody for a lot of the track, but like him I thought the variation in the rhythms and such kept it really fresh. have another YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The arrangement here is pretty damn cool. Great job picking sources that meld so well together. Agree with the judges on arrangement concerns, but its been covered and it still checks out for me. The production is decent, but I find it interesting that no one has mentioned what to me are quite obvious production flaws. The rhythm guitars, while punchy, and sounding damn awesome, are far too loud. Everything else gets pushed to the side, minus the drums. Its hard to hear the keyboards, and thus alot of elements are getting buried by the rhythms. Even the solos are hard to hear under the rhythm. Its a small and easy fix that would make this track so much more balanced, and would bring out alot of buried details in your mix. A less pressing issue is the drums, which are rather mechanically sequenced, and have rather iffy sample quality, particularly the kick. OA's right, this is a close vote, and I'm leaning on conditional based on rhythm volume fix. Thats quite a big issue thats holding this one back from its full potential and its just a fader adjustment away from me signing off on it. Otherwise, this is solid, good work! YES (conditional on rhythm adjustment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted July 31, 2012 Share Posted July 31, 2012 I can go ahead and close this out. It's somewhat liberal, but the main boss rhythm is present most of the time. I like that you were able to take such a unmelodic source and turn it into something this fleshed out in that way. While not perfect, I think this was a lot crisper than the last production I heard from you, Connor, so keep up the good work! I did hear some clipping at 1:38 and other places though. That certainly should be fixed before this gets posted. YES (conditional on clipping fix) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted December 24, 2012 Share Posted December 24, 2012 Clipping fix received, I replaced the old version on the ftp. There is still one part that is distorted, but I think it's not that big a problem. I am a YES now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
