    Persona 4 - I'll Face Myself - Metal/Djenty(ish) Remix

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    I think the snare could have some transient shaping and low end to give it more thwap. Right now it sounds thin compared to the kick. Some very slight reverb could help the guitar to sound more roomy in sections where it's exposed. EX: 1:27. Also, I think the decay on the strums there could be tighter because those rapid chugs sound blurry.

    Other than that, I think it sounds good. I don't really have any issues with the bass or guitars, or even the cymbal tones.

    Thank you! Yes, I will definitely mess around with the snare and try out some new techniques..

    I was kind of wanting that tight, non-roomy sound for the guitars, honestly, but maybe I didn't execute it in the most effective way.. And yes, the guitars were a bit muddy on the fast parts.. That was probably mostly due to my poor playing :P

    Thank you for the kind words!

    Very true.. I fall into the same trap... Especially when I feel I have very little knowledge in the first place.. But I am going to try and contribute whenever I can..

    Thank you for the kind words!

    After a second listen, I completely agree with you on the cymbals. They sound rather fake and don't seem to match the rest of the mix.. My ears tend to block out any frequencies over 10k for some reason :P I will definitely give that distortion tip a try.. Sometimes overly compressed cymbals can also sound pretty good too, IMO..

    Not sure I agree about the bass guitar, but I will mess around with it in the future.. Maybe less side-chain compression with the drums would help bring it out a little more..

    And yes, I have never been COMPLETELY happy with my lead tone ever.. It's always been a push n' pull between too bright or too flat.. I tend to lean towards the "too flat" side these days, I suppose..

    Thank you for all the thoughts and advice! Much appreciated.

    Hey man, great job! I The fade-in with the piano was a nice touch.

    A few points of critique:

    I felt like some the notes on the keyboard could have been held out a little longer to sound more natural.. But obviously, that's up to personal taste and opinion.

    Also, I feel the lead tone could have better. It sounded a little harsh and bare to my ears.. Maybe try focusing less on the high 'trebly' sound and bring out some more of the mids and possibly add a bit more reverb and help it sit in the mix better.

    Just my humble opinion.. Overall, good job! I'm liking it :)

    Hey!

    Recently recorded a remix of the boss battle theme from Persona 4, so I thought I'd get some of your opinions on it!

    I ended up sticking rather close to the source for the most part, aside from the random breakdown halfway though (which you may notice was influenced by "Backside of the TV" from the OST).

    Please let me know what you think!

    First Attempt at Mastering

    Hey guys, I'm new to the forums and wanted some critique on my first attempt at mastering with Izotope Ozone 5... The actual arrangement is rather boring, but that's not what I'm worried about. The overall sound is what I'm worried about right now...

    I've only been mixing / recording for about a year now, so please keep that in mind...

    Any critiques are much appreciated...
