i like it
just like that other marimba one you did
what happened to that anyways
-
this is a nice simple piece, simple in that it is driven mostly by melody. the problem i have with it is the use of rubato and hesitation. it's unnecessary and it puts too much focus on the left hand. nice work though.
-
I haven't noticed the kick in a bad way. Is it too soft, not enough bass?
it is thin and bad
especially with that heavily reverbed snare
-
aaaaaaaaaaa this is really good i like the changes from the last version i heard
this reminds me so much of 'midnight in a perfect world'
the melody entrance at 3:22 seemed kinda weird at first because it sounds like it should be chromatic but it jumps down
i probably said this every time you posted this but i can't recognize the source in the first half of the melody
i like the samples and white noise things you added to the middle section, and what you did with the ending
i hope you have a better title than turntablism though
-
grindcore wooo that is pretty sick
rainbow road won't download properly ):
-
this is really nice
only the snare got too much reverb, not enough presence
-
yeah i'm feelin this
-
haha sounds like speedcore irish dancing
what is this a remix of?
-
yeah this is nice
that kick is killing me though
-
I tweaked, layered and FXed a bunch of sytrus presets for nearly everything in this, but it still comes off as generic?
yeah pretty much
And yes, I do happen to like the dropoff and subsequent buildup of sound at :52 and afterward
key changes like that generally come in strong so it was just kind of jarring but whatever you think works.
-
the arrangement was going well until oh no what happened at 0:52. i don't think everything should cut out like that but it's your choice
everything sounds a little treble heavy could use some deeper sounds in the guitar and the opening synths (which are kinda generic btw).
-
..midi rip?
yeah that's what i thought
i don't know if you actually play marimba but there is a lot you can do with the instrument that is not really represented here
-
my only complaint is that the remix is dead that is to say it no longer exists
-
i have been waiting for this to be posted for some time
this is good
-
I think the arrangement is good the way it is, but some of the sounds could use work. I think for the most part the drums are sounding pretty good, it's just the snare that could be "pumped up" more. The bass sample the biggest problem here I think. It's not dynamic enough to be in the forefront so much, if you could get a real bass on that or at least turn it down it would sound a lot better I think.
And I think the last guitar chord could ring a bit so the crash doesn't just hang there, or maybe do a crash with a handmute.
-
These pads sound a lot nicer, so much more life in them now. I personally think it might sound better if there weren't gaps in between each chord which would help with the atmosphere of it.
The part starting at 0:18...the piano is very freeform and I think if you're going to have percussion in there it would help if there was a bit more direction to it. Not so far as putting a backbeat in or something, but maybe some little fills on toms and stuff, and not just the hi-hat, because right now it feels really random and out of sync with the piano. I'm thinking jazz kind of drums, the best example that comes to mind is the beginning of Ganon's Temple by Neskvartetten (on OCR). That's just a suggestion though, what you have is fine if it works for you.
At 2:26 there is a mallet instrument that sounds too loud, I'd turn it down.
You might get some criticism for most of the middle section being to crowded, it doesn't bother me personally but it might be something to watch out for.
-
no, it's 13/8.
really it's more helpful to think of it as 7/8 and 6/8 but yeah

i still think the piano at 4:20 could enter a lot stronger, but this works.
-
Hows that brambles piano song coming along?
It's been slow but I'm still working on it...
The pads sound better, so that's good. I still think it could use a bit of percussion like a brushed snare or something, but if it detracts then don't bother.
I don't mind the reverse kick, it sounds bit like a scratch though and I think that kind of sound is out of place here. It's your call, it doesn't screw things up or anything.
What is that instrument you're using at 1:32? It sounds like a really thin xylophone. I would get a more realistic one there, if a xylophone is what you're going for. I personally think it ruins the ambience a bit and wouldn't have it come in until the part at 1:56.
Also, maybe a bit of a crescendo to 1:56 would make it a little less sudden and disjointed. Maybe have some of the pads in that section come in earlier or something.

I like the way you used the source here, and the arrangement is well done too (though the weakness of the samples comes through a few times, e.g. 1:58-2:05). I guess the one problem I have is that dynamic range. Specifically, the climax around 4:20 seems like it could enter a lot stronger (those piano chords). Also, I think you could work with the panning a bit to give each part more space. It seems crowded the way it is right now.

ugh. ambient is a blanket description that is thrown around all too often especially around here. seems like you have confused "ambient" with "minimalist orchestral" which i'd say is probably the sound you are going for. i think the atmosphere you are going for is similar to l'après-midi d'un faune by debussy and that's the kind of arrangement i'd work towards if it was me.
not a bad start.
