    [PCReMix] Deus Ex - UNATCO theme (Sadevakio)

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Posted

    Many thanks for the speedy review! The snare seems to definitely jump out, and when I listened to the track on (bad) speakers, the bass seemed to do so too. The snare(s) are pretty bright which might be something to adjust.

    I think the difference between foreground and background instruments creates a certain sense of space, but maybe that doesn't really work, or the difference is too steep. I'll start with tweaking the snare and bass and work from there, rest of the percussion and leads will probably be toned down a bit. Hopefully later today!

    Final candidate 1: https://www.dropbox.com/s/g0yy0qbaa698gb9/eino_keskitalo-sadevakio-fc1-20120927.mp3

    Several small adjustments. Tweaked bass mixing especially; tried to punch a hole into the lofi-timpani for the bass drum, also tweaked bass EQ to make room for bass drum, also tweaked the high EQ of the bass drum, and levels. Boosted the overall mix about 1db. Adjusted some background pads and stuff. Changed the drums in the "loud snare" section a little (snare/tom interplay).

    I'm hopefully done, but am concerned: mixing, overall; are the leads solid enough.

    The Humble Indie Bundle 6

    BIT.TRIP RUNNER, Gratuitous Space Battles, Jamestown and Wizorb got added as "beat the average" bonus games (with soundtracks included). The first three are from previous bundles (I forget if they're all from the same bundle), but Wizorb is new to the HIBs, and also a game I've been looking forward to getting. That tends to happen with the Bundles..

    PRC227 - RESULTS: It's A Wonderful House (Little Nemo: The Dream Master)

    Pretty nice track HoBoKa. At first it sounded like just an instrument replacement (especially as there were just the three tracks from the midi), but it pretty quickly went into some very nice personalization territory. Very good, pleasant sound selection as well.

    Trism's track had some good ideas but yeah, it was a bit of a mess. :) Fun to hear it still!

    edit: And thanks again to Bundeslang for taking the time to upload my track as a bonus. I really appreciate it.

    No thread yet? Are these too frequent already to make any waves?

    I primarily use a couple years old laptop with Linux. I really appreciate the mandatory Linux releases. Some of these probably work on my machine, Torchlight and (sadly) Rochard likely won't. But most of the time I'm just listening to the soundtracks anyway. I have Dustforce's already, which is pretty good.

    Probably will get this when I get paid, which would be just in time.

    Thanks for the comment! It's nice to hear the mix is appreciated and get suggestions. :)

    I have a severe lack of mastering chops, so the thing I'd do would be to push the limiter harder. Or try to even the levels between tracks during the mixing stage. Lots to learn anyway!

    This was now about as loud as my previous mix (Clockwork Groove) that I submitted, which I compared to some released ReMixes (Mazedude and TheGuitahHero iirc) and it was ok in comparison I thought, maybe a little quieter. Any tips what tracks I should compare it to?

    Latest version: wippity wip

    Just some mixing tweaks. The bass levels, especially the massive lofi kettle drum probably need some attention. My todo/feedback wanted in the first post still applies. Not sure if I should try to make the mix louder or if this suffices. I'm also less sure if the sounds are good enough (I seek to pass the panel with this).

    I also came up with a title: "Sadevakio" is Finnish for something like "The Rain Constant", trying to make some sort of a wordplay how it's always raining in cyberpunk settings.

    Game Duels vol.1 ~ a Video Game Mashup EP

    Thanks for the comments, Guifrog.. let's hear more from people who aren't on the project (or Kyle) :>

    Eino, you've forgotten about this already? :tomatoface:

    Yes indeed. And I failed the search (I put in "Live-a-Live", it's "Live a Live" in the database).

    I got a couple of friends to grab the EP and take a listen. It's short enough that people actually seem to do that.. I didn't have much success persuading folks to listen to ARMed and DANGerous - I guess the sheer size of that album makes it a treat for Wild ARMs fans, but a bit more challenging for a casual listener. No such problem here! I got positive comments too, not much specifics, apart from the Omigadrive track sounded "very professional" according to one commenter. I'll agree!

    Many thanks! I did the level tweaks you suggested and they sounded good to me. I also eased up on the limiter a little - I originally pushed the limiter as hard as I could before it started to deteriorate in my ears, which apparently was a bit much, so I lowered it just in case.

    Final version

    If anyone's interested in the Renoise project file, grab it here.

    Got to write that sub e-mail now..
