    Kraid's Lair/Brinstar Theme Remix

    in Post Your Game ReMixes!

    Posted

    Hey I really like the sound of this mix. Really suits the melody of the song. I think what you have going sound-wise is really good and most of the feedback that I can think of is more about the structure and presentation of it.

    1. I think it's a tad repetitive. Unfortunately it's the nature of this song because there isn't a whole lot of source material to work with. So what the original lacks in diversity needs to be made up with instrumentation, rhythm or style. For Instance, the main melody part appears at 0:20 and 1:10 but they sound the same but with only 1 synth removed. what would really benefit this remix is some variety in the repeated parts. Try having new lead instruments entirely or changing up the bass rhythm.

    2. This kind of goes with point number 1. The mix is really punchy and I think what might be a nice addition is some suspended chords, ARP's, notes or SFX over the time. Maybe something in the high end to smooth it out a bit? That will give it some more context and the punchy parts will sound even heavier in comparison to the overtones that you put it in.

    3. 1:42 i'm a big fan of. The melody is busy here so you don't need to add much. Maybe double up the lead synth? I like the change in the bass here.

    4. You could try making 0:20 - 0:38 a bit more of a gradual rise and make 0:38 a bigger section. Gives it a but more dynamics rather than being full force most of the time. Just a suggestion.

    Overall it sounds great man I really hope you keep working on it. Can't wait to hear more from this!

    League of Legends ReMix (Taliyah's Theme) Synthetic Stones

    Hey guys,

    I haven't posted anything in a while but I wanted to get some feedback on this remix of mine.

    I was inspired after hearing the original song and wanted to create a synth version of it. I think it turned out pretty well but I feel like it might be missing the 'epic feel' of the original. Obviously the production quality for League of Legends in much higher but either way I wanted all of your opinions on how I could improve the piece.

     

    Thank you so much for listening!

    The Original song is here: 

     

    Gaia's Tomb (Golden Sun 2 Remix)

    This is kinda cool actually. Lot's of clipping unfortunately and no source tune link, so I can't tell how much of it is original material etc. Throw a Limiter on the master track, so you can kill most if not all of the clipping. But still, I'd reccomend lowering the volume of every instrument by at least 1/8 and throw each instrument into a mixer track and EQ them accordingly.

    I'd say that the arrangement is pretty strong, albeit, those rhythm guitars before 2:28 feel pretty weak, luckily they sound much better thereafter. Probably would need some more variation over-all as it feels a bit repetitious towards the end, almost like you got tired of the source tune at that point...happens all the time to me haha.

    If you're not aiming to get posted then don't change anything compositional-wise and just fix up the EQ, volume levels and get rid of that clipping ASAP. If you need specifics, I can sit down and time-stamp everything and go over it all with you in more detail.

    I'd also need a source link.

    I would love to get this Remix posted! Sorry for the late reply I have been on holidays for a week.

    Is there any other kind of feedback that I could get? I am going to start working on this remix again this week and would love some insight :).

    P.S. Thanks for the source tune timaeus :)

    Fear Factory (Donkey Kong Country Remix)

    Pretty good mix I have to say. It had my foot tapping.

    There were a couple of things I feel could be changed for the better.

    1. that main synth that is doing the marimba part. I feel there is maybe a little too much delay on it because some of the middle notes of the melody are being drowned out to the point where the notes seem almost incorrect, but that is just my personal preference.

    2. With the second part of the original song, it has the slower part which contrasts well with the rest of the song. I feel if you expanded on this section rather than skimming over it, you will get more variety in the song and make it less repetitive.

    Hope you found my feedback useful

    P.S. Feel free to check out my latest remix I posted up :)

    Thanks in advance :)

    Here is the latest version of the remix. It took a while because of exams.

    Here is the source

    I am looking for mixing feedback in particular. My ears have become accustom to the song and I think I need some new ears on it.

    Hey man. For me personally it was too repetitive. I did like the creepy vibe and you had a cool sounding sub / wobbling bass. But I gotta say, every time there was a big build up. I expected a little more variation in the theme.

    I hope I wasn't too harsh or anything. That is just my opinion :)

    "Come Lay Besaid Me!" Final Fantasy X & X-2 Besaid mix

    Hi :). Thanks for you reply on my remix.

    Now I'm not a final fantasy fan really, and you are clearly much better than me at remixing, but I still have some feedback that I hope helps.

    1. When the kick and snare come in for the first time, the drum line seems a little to straight to me. For some reason it makes me feel just a little uncomfortable, but after it gets into it a little further I don't have a problem with it.

    2. I feel like it is a tad too short (which is a compliment because I want to hear more). I like the interlude where it goes softer, but I would also like to hear another part that is different but still up beat like the main part of the song.

    Hope this helps ^_^

    Trouble with Shreddage in FL studio

    in Music Composition & Production

    Hi guys.

    I'v been having trouble with Shreddage X.

    I bought and downloaded it a few days ago and read the guide.

    It said to run the quick start file to get started and every time I do, it does nothing for about 20-30 seconds and then freezes / crashes my computer completely. Am I doing something wrong?

    Also, can I use shreddage by just using the free Kontakt 5 player and not buying the $400 version?
