How about.... ?

I like the weird bass, and I love the drums! The Lead throws me off a little bit... both in what it's playing and it's overall sound. Strings are cool, but seem a little muddy. Maybe too much reverb on them compared to the rest of the song? You could up their mid and high frequencies aswell to get a crisper sound ^^ Other than that... hmmm... The progression seems a little slow... And the way it's built up at the start, it's like I expect the strings to come in at 26:00 - and so it feels a little empty from then until they come in. Cool ideas though, and I can't wait to hear a little more

Well, Ichi, i'm impressed I like what i'm hearing so far... my only complaint is that one of the drum sounds you've got sounds like mike speakers popping or crackling. It's that kind of higher-pitch 'pop' kinda sound that plays in the drums from 00:56 onwards. Remove that, and I'm happy ^^ As for ideas? Kick in some massive drums right where this ends, add a more defined lead (with more high frequencies so it stands out more) and some louder background pads/strings. You can have it play the same thing that it plays towards the end of what you've got so far - just make it sound fuller and louder - before transitioning into a different section. Perhaps it goes quieter again, but still retains the hi-fi sound with more frequency range than what you've currently got there. Yeah... what you've got sounds a little lo-fi and muddy because there's a lack of high-frequencies (something I know, because I used to do it all the time until sadorf taught me some nifty EQ tricks). But that's okay. The lo-fi sounds suits the mood and atmosphere that you've got so far. Just make sure that once it transisitions into a fuller sound, you boost up the higher frequencies on some of the instruments to balance out the lower ones. One cool trick is to split your drum track into three channels - boost up the low frequencies on the kicks, the mid frequencies on the snares, and the high frequencies on the hats. It really does make it sound that much fuller ^^ I'll give you an example incase you're wondering what the hell i'm on about This is me before I EQ'd my stuff right: http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/sadorfish.mp3 And this is me after Sadorf showed me tha light: http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/sadorfishweeee.mp3 EDIT: fixed links So yeah. You can see a pretty drastic improvement, and the only real major change was some equalising ^^ I hope some of that helps - if you need me to help out in any other way, just ask. I've got access to both FL and Reason (being at an audio college is teh roxor ), so if you want help with anything, just ask ^^ I really do love what you've got so far, and I'm dying to hear more! Hurry up! Oh, and sithlord - good to see you're making a fast recovery ~Hadyn

There is some horrible clipping going on there... Your EQ work isn't so great - are you maybe using a sub or something to mix this? maybe cheap headphones? There's wayyy too much volume on the kick drum, and it's killing the mix. The other volumes and frequencies are a little dodgy too... Other than that, though, It's a pretty cool mix.. Fix the EQ stuff, and i'll give more feedback after hearing it properly ^^

Nice work man! I like the sound, I think you should keep going with this idea

But this isn't a collection of individual mixes - it's a project, one living, breathing whole. I agree that if the mixes are submitted to OCR individually then the fades should be removed, but I feel that the project should be designed in such a way that a listener gets the most from the experience if they sit there and listen to it as one overall piece of work, in the order and all that's it's made in. That's what a project is, in my opinion. ~Hadyn

Wow... Good work nuts!

I could consider adding it to the end of my mix, as part of a transition to the doomsday theme? I'm not sure how it'll sound though - going from my dark mood, to a happy, fast theme, and then to a theme of impending DOOOOOOOOM. hose. It could work.

Good morning world! Thanks to whoever left feedback overnight, keep it coming! I'll be working on my piece again when I get home from college - about 7 hours from now - and I'll need all the critiques I can get so I can make my mix as good as possible when I get back to work on it ^^; here's that link again: http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/heads%20up%20for%20tails3.mp3 On a side note, I was only able to download the first half a minute of djnova's piece, then it just stops. I've had the same problem with a few other downloads lately (not being able to download the full file) - anyone know what I can do to resolve this? Cheers people! ~Hadyn

How about Emeralds of Chaos? OMG. That's made my day

Hey, thanks - bot of you ^^ Rexy - yeah, I don't like my drums a whole lot - I'll try out what you said next time I work on the piece. If there's anything else you guys can think of, make sure to let me know. I won't be working on it again for atleast another 15 hours, so that's plenty of time for feedback Thanks again, ~Hadyn

Holy freak that's cool I mean, there a little things here and there, but damn! Nice going so far! Very nice groove you've got ^^ I'm not sure about the quality of that saxamaphone sound - maybe try some delay or verb? Also, the song as a whole is *very* quiet, so maybe you could bring up the olume a little ^^ But yeah. Otherwise, I'm loving it

Latest version! http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/heads%20up%20for%20tails3.mp3 I need feedback! It's certainly not finished and I'll continue to improve it myself, but if there's something you think I should change or try, TELL ME! I want to make this as good as I can. It's going to be up next to tracks by some of the best game remix artists around, I don't want it to sound sub-par ^^; Thanks in advance, ~Hadyn

I've got it! We should call it... Hedgehog Heaven II!

Take out that ear-splitting high-pitched droning noise, and you have a winner on your hands ^^ Yeah... That noise hurts the fck out of my ears, but everything else sounds awesome Sounding nice man. Keep it up. Bloody awesome - can't wait to hear more

Doomsday pt 2 is actually FinalBoss. So I'm remixing that.

Can the remixes have vocals? I kinda want mine to have lyrics...

They're fine, it's just that it'd kind of suck if too many tracks were in the same style.

Actually, once it gets into it, I really like it Sounds less depressing than mine I'm a little scared now I have some competition Keep it up man!

newer WIP: http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/heads%20up%20for%20tails2.mp3 EDIT: Whoops... posted wrong link. Fixed now. Just all my ideas thrown together into a short piece so you guys can see what I have in mind. All feedback is great

Behold! My first WIP: http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/heads%20up%20for%20tails.mp3 Let me know if it sucks. I can easily start again ^^

I'm thinking a guitar/electronica mix ^^ Haha - The only thing that'll stop me from mixing that, is death Oh yeah, Congratulations sithlord - you've got quite a line-up there

Go to your cd drive through my computer and copy and paste the refill to your reason folder. See, I tried that earlier, and it didn't work... but now it does.. Thanks ^^

I'm new to reason. That said, is there any way to install refills onto the computer so I don't always have to have the disc in there? 'cause yeah... I only have one cd drive, and it's a bit of a pain not being able to use multiple soundbanks at once. Cheers if you can help.

Haha, I already suggested to sithlord-aku that he try and recruit analoq
