  1. I enjoyed this mix, quite a lot actually. I'm not familiar with the source, but I really like the guitar work and the piano is a nice addition (at least it sounds like a piano). Although at some points, like when the piano gets higher at 0.24-0.28 (and towards the end), the volume is slightly overwhelming. Also, there never really seems to be a break. The music doesn't really slow down in the middle, there isn't any sort of intermission. Maybe that has something to do with the style, I don't know. Overall, a well done mix, keep up the good work.

  2. I like the sound of this so far, nice job. The only complaint is that the bass in the intro is a little distracting, if that makes sense. I also think the hat during the intro is a little harsh, but once the main melody starts up, everything sounds solid. It seems like I'm nitpicking, but I guess that's because the rest sounds good.

  3. You can create projects for fun and no-one will hear it. Practice some technique. Try a project with the objectives of : working the synth till you find the kind of sound you want, new project to test your sequencing, new project on layering etc...Hope to see your first wip soon. Hope it helped too :). (By the way if you need help with Fl I know my way around. Just pm me. I'll work a project for you to understand.)

    That's a good idea, I'll make a bunch projects to try out my abilities. I was intimidated by all the great music here, but I just need to take a step back, and just make projects even if they're not so good. Thanks, I will definitely PM you if I get stuck.

    I can't really add much to young neblix's advice other than a) stick with it; you're at the beginning of a brutally tough learning curve and B) seek out project files from other remixers who are willing to give them to you, if at the very least to see how they sequence their MIDI data and automation.

    I've always enjoyed a challenge, I'm glad for the learning curve. If there's one thing I know about OCR, it's that the community is great when it comes to supporting and helping each other out. I'll take that advice and ask around for files.

    If you're not, read this guide: http://ocremix.org/forums/showthread.php?t=3784&highlight=zircon.

    Do stuff in FL Studio WHILE you're reading it, so you can better understand what zircon is talking about...take all of your songs and post them in the workshop section here. There are a lot of people who won't really help you ("omg cool song dude i love it") but there are also lots of intelligent people who will give very in depth and specific feedback regarding how to help with your production values.

    Thanks for that link, a lot of really helpful info. Yeah, I'll put my songs in the workshop. I've read some great critiques, so I'm not worried.

    it's good to read up on production and theory and compositional approaches and all that, but if you just make a lot of stuff and enjoy it you should be good.

    That's one of the main reasons why I'm getting into remixing, for the fun. And to remix the awesome songs that are still untouched.

    Thanks to everyone for the advice, it was exactly what I was looking for. Sorry if I didn't respond to everyone, but I want to start mixing! :smile:

  4. That's good advice, I'll spend time learning to critically listen. I'll definitely submit a mix to the workshop for feedback as soon as I have one. As for FL Studio, I've seen a bunch of tutorials but most of them have been really technical and not all that useful. Has anyone come across tutorials that focus more on practical examples?

  5. Hi, I just signed up on OCR, although I've been checking the site daily for about 3 years. I've had FL Studio for about a year now, but I've only recently started to focus more of my free time on creating a remix. I was wondering if anyone knows of some good tutorials for FL Studio. I know my way around the program, but there's still a ton I don't know and need to learn if I ever hope to get a remix on this site. Also, any advice for a beginner at FL Studio and remixing is much appreciated. Thanks.
