    Secret of Mana - Ice Palace Remix WIP

    I like the sort of lo-fi chill thing you got going on here. Only problem is, it might just be TOO chill, as in there isn't much dynamic range throughout the entire piece. I'td be great to hear a little more variety in terms of the drums, possibly the bass sample, and maybe chord choice. THat being said, the instruments you've picked work really well together. I like it =p

    Oh in terms of the size for submitting, the site is already hosting loads of tracks so they can't be holding tracks that are 14 megs a piece. It'd just take way too much. But, you've got the bitrate going at 320 kbps. That's REALLY high, at least in my eyes. I usually keep things at 160 kbps tops for 6 min tracks. You can definitely lower the bitrate before eexporting it to lower the file size, or use a program like LAME to encode it for you. I don't think it'd affect the sound too much.

    Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I'll consider lowering it to maybe 128 kbps, or even 192, if it gets under 6 mb.

    Maybe I should make more variation in the drums. There's only one loop running through the whole song, so. :P

    After a few listens I do find that this mix "starts slowly." That isn't necessarily a bad thing but it takes quite a while to get into the tune heard in the original (it really "starts" around 3:50 which is a lot of buildup).

    I love what's happening with this mix though, it already feels incredibly polished.

    I kind of like it that way. It kind of gets better and better, you know?

    Anyway, I updated first post with the improved version. Its a bit longer too. I also made the lead "slide". I like it that way. C64 style.

    Hei @ 4 am,

    ..and I was going to point out that "Mor di" is equivalent to YOUR MOM in one dialect of Norwegian. :]

    Yes. Im a karsk-drinking leather-vest wearing trønder, you see. :razz:

    Anyway, I've just made the saw-lead lower in volume and it sounds much better. More balanced now. Just gotta figure out some balancing issues at the end of the song and it should be done.

    The lead is too sharp/burns through. It's out of place in contrast with the rest of the arrangement, which was vivid and pleasant. Just listened once in the background, and that was what I picked up on.

    I was having the same thoughts. I want to be in contrast to the classical/orchestral instrument otherwise used in the arrangement. I'll round it out a bit.

    Edit: Hey, I notice you're a fellow norwegian. :D

    Someone wanted me to do it. And so I did. Never played the games myself, though... But I liked the composition.
