Haha oh wow

[Corneria Theme - Starfox]

Thanks for the crit, guys. Always appreciated

I'd love to take part but for two reasons I can't. I've never heard of the game (not a major issue) and I'm in between collecting new guitar gear at the moment. I'm switching from slumming it on a Line 6 Pod to proper amp recording. Good times

I'm also thinking of writing a bunch of game arrangements, so maybe I'll re-work Corneria in the future when I get hit with some inspiration.

Urgh... some music posting etiquette would be nice, here. Asking for feedback on a song using a video that waits a minute before getting to the track is rather wearing on the listener. Furthmore, Youtube is a terrible place to host, since it hurts the sound files with it's compression. It's understandable if you'd like people to listen to your music on Youtube, but if you don't need to host there (like, say, for us here) try hosting an Mp3 on Tindeck.com or Box.net as well and link the track in this thread as well as your signature, please.

Now that that's out of the way, let's see what you've got...

Actually, I'm pretty impressed with this track. Clean production combined with a traditional metal style that I oh-so love. Needless to say, it's terribly short (at what, 1:30, total?), so I'd recommend making this longer, if at all possible.

I hear some overcompression at the end of the track, but again I can't tell if it's youtube's fault or a fault in the track. Hence why we prefer links to mp3's rather than videos on youtube.

It sounds like the drums are live. Nice work on it, but it needs some more 'snare' on the snare. Right now it sounds like a marching band - tighten the snare on that set for a crisper sound.

To be frank, it's a great track, but it's too short. Expand on it (getting it to... ~3:00 would be great) and perhaps add some more original material to fill that time (it's a bit conservative) and this could have a shot here on OCR.

Good luck.

I agree, most of my friends said it should be longer. But the theme itself really doesn't have much to work with. I'd add more but thats something I really dont like to do minus writing a solo over some provided rythm, but at that time nothing really came to me. I was also on time constraints to submit it to a little video game album on another website, so I wanted to get it out as quick as possible.

The overcompression came from a very quick master where I simply limited the shit out of it and didn't pay a whole lot of attention. I'm pretty sure some was due to Youtube also. I didn't know much about mastering back then and if I could remaster I would, but I only have the final track.

The drums are from Superior Drummer: The Metal Foundry, great VST. I programmed the drum track maybe 3 or 4 months before I finaly got around to recording the song in it's entirety, but only had the .wav file of the whole drum track. I figured the sound was pretty good so I just stuck with it.

Like I said in the video description though, I may rewrite and rerecord some time in the future if I find a collaborator. I need an ideas man to keep me motivated or else nothing gets done.

Thanks for the crit

EDIT: I'll also put together a soundcloud profile to host my tracks.

Hey guys and gals (maybe? I'm led to believe there are no girls on the internets),

First post here.. Finally uploaded my first remix to youtube, thought I'd get some feedback and answer any questions (if anyone even has any.. I'm sure you're all experienced here).

I really want to get more into doing remixes

It's your standard heavy metal/rock remix thats oh-so-common these days. But it's what I love.

Link is in my sig vvv
