timaeus222 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Pretty cool soundscape! Sounds chillout to me. Some things I noticed: The pad coming in at 0:04 seems to have come in rather quickly. Can you try fading it in a little bit more gradually? The piano at 0:19 sounds a little bit thin in the timbre, and the velocities could be fine-tuned a bit more to make it sound more realistic, considering how many of the other timbres you have are organic. Sweet vintage bass, btw. The drums fit well, and I think the timbres are polished enough for the most part. The 0:32 pseudo-wobble with the vintage filter is really neat (almost like that of a Yamaha CS-80), and I wish you inserted more of that type of ear-candy. It would make this even more intriguing. At 0:40, although I like the bass sound quite a bit, it's either too upfront (i.e. too loud) or the mids are too boosted. Judging from the timbre and how well it fits in other parts of the mix, I think it's on the loud side just here, in terms of velocities. The little resonant lead at 0:48 is pretty cool too; it's just a little too resonant right now, and hurts my ears a bit. I would hope there's a resonance knob on your synth that you can turn down for that particular sound (pretty much every synth has that knob). The piano at 0:50 is less exposed than it was at 0:19 and 1:17, so even if you didn't do anything with it there, I wouldn't complain, as the mechanical velocities and apparent tone are not so obvious there. Lastly, this should be longer. Why? Because it's awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 This is awesome. The Ridge Racer soundtracks have always been somewhat of a mixed bag to me. This thing does need to be longer though. It's great =D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatandyguy Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Thank you guys! Thanks for the feedback Timaeus! I'll be getting on those changes asap. Oh, and I suppose I need to make it longer.. Not sure how I'm going to do so at the moment, but I'll think of something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatandyguy Posted August 20, 2013 Author Share Posted August 20, 2013 I've made some adjustments. Still not done yet, but I posted the updated version to get more feedback. https://soundcloud.com/that-andy-guy/garage-talk-garage-remix-lol As the notes on soundcloud say, I want to do more with the drums, and possibly add a solo. I'm going to work on those tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
