Made some tweaks to the mix and switched this to eval.

Updated with improvements all round. Link in op.

Thanks for the clarifation and comments. Yeah, the song changes key at 0:53 so that must be the main issue you're having with it.I did it on purpose but I guess it doesn't make sense. Will sort this one out at some point Will take it off of eval. Cheers

Update. Improved in all the various ways: https://sites.google.com/site/vspaine/wips/Harmonious%20M.mp3?attredirects=0&d=1 Link in OP also updated

Update. Final tweaks to mix. Switched to eval. Same link

Update. Tightened up EQ and reverb some more and some subtle changes to hihat patterns. Same link

Update. Overhauled the EQ and reverb of every instrument so the mix is cleaner , fuller and more open. Also a couple arrangement changes. Same link

Update. Worked on everything said. Most notably, I've reworked the compostion of the drums completely. Changed them to rock drums, added fills between transtions, etc. Also, changed elements of the composition and arrangement of other instruments to refect the new fully rock genre. Made the lead guitar tone fuller and removed more highs from rhythm guiitar so they interfere less. Varied things up with a clean tone in a part towards the end. Did other smaller changes you mentioned as well but will keep tweaking things. Same link

Hey Roz. Thanks for the review. I'm on a DAW now but, since this remix idea was done back when I was using just a keyboard, I transferred the midi info from back then so it wasn't built from the ground up in the DAW. I'm thinking I'll play it safe and try and make this more of a typical rock track, especially the drums. Atleast then I'll know the drums will definitley fit the guitars both mix-wise and stylistically, and the arrangement will be more cohesive. The key thing I've been focused on with this track was trying to get the guitars sounding decent since the song depends on them and fake gutars can be seen as a big negative. Other thngs took a backseat. Sounds lke they still need a bit of tweaking but now I can focus more on the song as a whole as well. Cheers

Changed to Mod review and added orignal to first post.

Update. Increased tempo a bit. Changed tag to finished. Link in orignal post.

Updated. Got a new electric guitar virtual instrument and amp simulator. Experimented for months trying to get rid of harsh frequences without leaving the guitars hollow sounding and hopefully i succeeded. Improved the overall mix and arrangement of the song in general as well. Link in original post

Update: Adjusted the electric guitar mix some more. Got rid of more of the high frequencies in them but also made them more "in your face". This is the first song of mine that has featured electric guitars so prominently so some trial and error. Same link

You're definitely on the right track. Changing the drums was a good move. Implement the things you've said as well. Maybe having some sort of improv style solo with the guitar or that e piano you mentioned would work well. Also, maybe try and find an RnB style vocal sample (not necessarily singing any lyrics, just singing notes, if you know what i mean) that complements the melody.

Thanks for feedback. Was needed as this is an experimental song for me. Update: Most of the work was done on the mix of the electric guitars and - adjusted cabinet, amp and eq settings - but I just saw your comment and adjusted the arrangement so the two halves of the song make a little more sense. Did that part in a few minutes just now so not perfect. Same link above.

Specifically he kick itself shouldn't be swung quite as much as I feel. Especially now that you added more bass to it. You could get away with that if you wanted to go more in the smooth jazz direction though probably. Speaking of bass, you should get some reference songs in this smooth hip hop style your going for and get a feel for how their kicks and bass balance with the rest of the track.

Hey. I'd suggest a kick with more bass if you're going for hip hop and as you said, swing is important as well. I'd need to hear this extended to give more help.

Update. Slightly adjusted mix and added a second half. Same link in the original post.

Hip hop/Rock fusion. Need to add another half to the song: https://sites.google.com/site/vspaine/wips/Kingdom%20Plantae%20M.mp3?attredirects=0&d=1 Feedback appreciated. Cheers Original:

Wasn't expecting another reply to this so didn't see until now. I'm using a laptop with an intel core i5 cpu M430 @ 2.27 Ghz of RAM. I'd love to know how to get this sounding good enough with the samples I'm using because I'm sure its possible too but I've gone as far as I can with my attempt at humanising. I've tried PMing Emunator a few times hoping he could give me the specific help needed but haven't gotten a reply. Haven't given up on this song at all by the way, its just that I can't take it any further without some help. Trust me, I've tried my best up until now but theres somethings I seemingly can't figure out by myself as much as I'd love too (I hate asking for help lol)

This is not an original or a re-arrangement, just a hip hop intrumental I made using samples from a song called "Torn apart" from the Anime Bleach's OST 2. This seems like the only place on these forums I can share it. All rights to the original composer of the samples http://soundcloud.com/vidilian/torn-apart-hip-hop-remix

Thanks for review. If the issue is the samples then this ones as good as its going to get for a long time. I don't see me getting a computer that can run the type of samples you're talking about anytime soon if ever. In that case I've just made a quick update to this and will change it to finished since theres nothing else I can do to it atm.

I've come back to this one after learning some stuff. I'm pretty sure everything thats been said has been resolved now. Humanisation and production in particular I focused on. Arrangement-wise theres a few tweaks here and there aswell. Added brass later on in the song so it hopefully sounds more like the part in the original that its based on. Gonna go ahead and keep this Mod review so I can see how much progress I've made since the last wip. https://sites.google.com/site/vspaine/wips/Harmonious.mp3?attredirects=0&d=1

Well when a boss catches Vincent they smash him and he explodes with his blood and guts flying everywhere and when you get caught by the spike blocks you get impaled. Thats pretty gorey to me even if the art style isn't super realistic.

From what I've seen of it (which is around half of the game) I reckon your wife wouldn't mind it if shes open minded initially. The game is more or less just a slightly twisted interactive soap opera.It might even make you think about your own relationship a bit. Your kid shouldn't see it though. Like someone else said, theres swearing and also gore.
