When I making vgm remix, I just take guitar and trying to play original melody to "feel" the theme. Then write midi loop of it. Having one simple loop helping you to write drums. Drums - rhythm, base and actually the "body".. Then do whateva you want. You free now! Things getting harder, when I want to make something original. Sometimes I just run my daw and after 30-40 min I have completed track. Sometimes I have an idea stuck in my brain. Sometimes I cant sleep. Sometimes I'm drunk. Sometimes I'm boring. In this cases I just do the first thing appeared in my mind.

After number of attempts to fix piano's sequencing, I decided to remove this stupid piano from here. Replaced it with synth. Rebalanced, remastered, etc. Claim it finished. Any thoughts guys'n'gals? Any constructive or not so constructive, bad, good or something is appreciated! As always:) Thank YOU! Best of whateva ppl!! edit: Btw! Brent, what do you mean saying "crank"(or something) about snare. You know what i'm talking about. I just realized that i have no idea "why" snare is not so punchy to you lol

Who responsible for "Venom in her veins" "NO'ed"?! Just curious.. And I'm going to try mix one of your tunes.

You want to add guitar? Do it! Swelled background lead will be cool i think. I'd suggest you to add one more bass line. Deep and intermittent. Also some clean guitar melody will be good to add. I also think that you may find some place for heavy rhythm here. Then add vocals(female) and it will be hypnotic, interesting, amazing and beautiful)) Just thoughts..

Thank You for your time! Here I tried to follow your review: drums up for 1dB, bass freq changed to 55Hz, guitars rebalanced a bit and sub-drum removed in some sections. Any luck? Thank You!

I have a terrible secret to reveal to you .. You are both guitarists!

Submitting to Mod review. -- NOT MASTERED -- MASTERED Here is da source: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ea5G9...eature=related Lot of thanks!!!

Thank you VERY MUCH guys!! Here I tried to fix things you mentioned: -- NOT MASTERED -- MASTERED The only thing I wanted to clarify.. "That "derp derp chirp" synth" --- which one? Once again. THANK YOU!!

Thank you! That was i need! So here is updated version: Some stuff added, bass changed, drums dropped a bit(rebalanced), guitars now on top. I think it's finished, but drums sounds kinda wrong imo. Any thoughts? Thank YOU!

I really dunno what is wrong with it, but I'm sure something is wrong! I do know about background lead guitar out of tune at 2:00 But what else? Moved to Mod's review. Sorry

Yes and no. Something philosophical and.. For example, there is a family: he drinker, constantly beats his woman etc. She still with him or ... There is the place for your imagination. Just for example. You may take some generalized person(Emo/goth or just some drug addict etc) and "tell" his/her(her better) story with some facts, no matter real or it is your vision. Anything what could be strange, interesting, bad, good, terrible or whateva. But the most awesome way to find inspiration is.. Well, i dunno. It's all personal stuff. Works for me - doesn't mean it works for you. You already know what kind of senses or invents or whateva pushing you to CREATE!

Global things is a great source for me. Society, WAR, sex, relationships(most important - NOT YOURS), some sarcasm about generations and their integration in history.. Well, anything you see, hear, feel, want to feel/hear/see.

And the chorus: "Gooo!!! Play da metal! Flooow!!! In sense of tempo! Drooop!!! Your stupid critic! Any lyric is pathetic!!" sorry for my english xD

Thanks man! Some Feedback guys pleas! I really wanna try to submit it!

Really cool thing man! Find other samples for viola, add more power to Kick and this is AMAZING!

Hello! The game series was made by SIGMA team(Russia) and had high dynamic and energy sound track. This one is a.. mmm.. Energetic stuff I suppose. 4 Drum Tracks at same time, crap tone of synths, Bit Machine corrupting some of guitars, maybe you even can find some work for your sub-woofer in this mix. Well, close to "Finished" but still some issues present. And if YOU point me on em I'll be VERY HAPPY!! After Mod's review: Prev version: -- NOT MASTERED -- MASTERED Here is da source: THANK YOU!!

Mmm.. Guys.. Are we still collaborating? Twisted Metal ReMix or something..

Vocals sounds really better to my ears now. Bass at the proper level, so as and rest of the track imo. But your lead guitar messing your vocals again. Drop it in loudness or pan it to anywhere, add some gentle effect(flang,phaz,delay,whatever) and cut mid freqs(cuz now lead and rhythm somewhere very close in freqs imo). After that you have to work with master track. Compress a bit? Some EQ'ing? Still loving it! p.s. remember what I made with THIS mix in past? If you wait for about 3-5 months, we can expand it together:mrgreen: maybe..

I'm back to it. Synth lead added to first part, Guitar leads rerecorded. http://soundcloud.com/mak-eightman/to-the-end new synth sounds kinda weird:whatevaa: Some help? plz)

Well, as I said.. "NO" was the verdict)) I'm not going to resub it, cause i dunno what else can i do with this arrangement(or just don't want to do). So here is re-mastered version:http://soundcloud.com/mak-eightman/mak-eightman-end-of-heaven-re In case someone interesting:-D Thanks again for feedback guys!

Hey Man! Looks like i'm late:mrgreen: Damn.. Not sure you'll appreciate this feedback.. Great decision for intro! Guitar sounds lot better in here) I can feel some energy direction, but I'm kinda confused with your production here, after Burning da castle mix. Overall it sounds like a mess. For some reason you holding your guitars somewhere in 300-600Hz range, also your voice is in this range. At least to my ears. Too much chorus for vocal, I'd suggest to keep lead vocal at center, and compliment it with a panned vocal tracks only in high dynamic sections. Cause now you have: (lead vocal + Back vocals + rhythm guitars + lead guitar + "chorused" synth) x (almost same Freqs range + too wide sound scape) = MESS:? 1:04-1:17 vocal sounds kinda out of place. And 1:18-1:31 very nice things going on here! But that mess, i mentioned before, killing me. 1:46-1:54 and 2:22-2:35 bass sounds too loud, I think loudness you used for bass guitar in this two sections is a same for entire mix, so you may add it to the equation above, I think.. I like the snare, but hi-hats sounds kinda over-compressed. Love the Toms, but Ride makes me feel FL's ghost here for some reason. And I'd suggest you to try for Kick's EQ something like that: 60-80Hz/5-6dB/Q 3-5 || 150-200Hz/-6/8dB/Q 5-6 || 5-6kHz/5-3dB/Q 1-2.. If you still using Addictive. And mess with attack/sustain for kick. At the end, previous version was better. But this has a potential. Hope I wasn't rude.. Sorry for my english. Edit: damn, I was too slow

You the second dude who said it to me.. Or it was you? Never mind. I think I need that world's most hated guitar amp
