Cyril the Wolf Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) Hi Everyone. Above is the link to my newest video game cover/remix thing. Obviously SEO optimized for Youtube. Been working on a lot of things mostly to improve my process - but it's been worth it since I feel like I can actually do stuff like this without having to reinvent my process over and over again... I'm always looking for feedback - Just because it's on YouTube doesn't mean that I can't tweak to submit later - and I wanted to post it here because I can't for the life of me think of a title. While not having a unique title is great for getting clicks on the youtubes - not so much for OCR consideration. The source link is below, my concern here is if it's interpretive enough. I definitely change things around a lot and have an original section in there. I just know I've gotten feedback before on being to conservative and I really take that to heart. https://www.dropbox.com/s/cwxm2gb8mkk051t/XvsZero-Reamp.mp3?dl=0 Edited January 15, 2017 by Cyril the Wolf type in the title - added title and new WIP link - submitted timaeus222 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Possible titles: Indivisible Drop the Facade Push Your Limits ----- Hilarious vocals as usual! Yeah, it's pretty conservative (the melodies are almost note-for-note, except for some parts humans can't sing fast enough to do), but I do hear some differences. Your 1:00 - 1:13 is definitely not in the original, but it sounds like the original, so I'd count that as a plus. The solo break at 2:13 - 3:18 was a great addition, and makes up 25% of the track. This follows the source notes pretty closely, while adding semi-original transitions and an original solo section. Hard to say, but I think this is a bit over the fence? It's a mix of fairly conservative and fairly original, rather than all evenly interpreted. Small nitpicks: I think 3:15 - 3:18 was kinda out of place, and I think that 3:15 and 3:18 would still connect with that piano bit taken out. Or, what if you let the guitar note ring out at 3:15 - 3:18? I would also go back through and check your pitch, such as at 0:30 - 0:32 (pretty noticeable) and 0:41 ("set", very slight). The production's a bit raw but even in the guitars, and oddly clean (un-punchy) in the drums. I think the kick is acceptably audible, but the snare could be stronger; the rest of the drums work for me. I wonder if the bass guitar could be EQed to get a bit heavier? I might use this as a reference. Clutch ending though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted January 13, 2017 Author Share Posted January 13, 2017 https://www.dropbox.com/s/cwxm2gb8mkk051t/XvsZero-Reamp.mp3?dl=0 JUST CUZ LIKE IDK I still have to check those pitch sections, tried to make the drums a bit more punchy, adjust some of my mastering settings so that the bass is a little more present... also changed my guitar tone a lot. I think overall this mix is cleaner among other things. Thanks for the feedback timaeus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
