Thank you! That was very helpful!
I'm actually having sound design issues, as well as problems with mixing. It seems to get muddy too easily. Not sure if this is an issue with the midi file I used to start the mix. Thanks again for the helpful input.

I can definitely guarantee that it won't be terrible.
Probably.
I came up with a (rather violent) verse of my own. Dunno if I should save it for Ice Trap Zone or use it here. Here's some of it.
"I like comedy
But fuck nonsense
I'm a psychopath
Don't have a conscience
I'll always remember
What this one guy said
That he would kill me
But you know what I did
I popped his eyes
Right out the socket
Yelled out fore
Slapshot like hockey
Broke both the knee caps
But even more shocking
I stabbed him in his ass
Until he stopped sobbing"Take that however you want.

More like industrial than house at this point, but what else I could say the other guys who have commented have said. I like the music of Sonic, old and new, and I hope you'll do this one justice.

???
I'm having a problem loading it. Did you take it down?
-
I totally went there. I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to do it, but here's what I have so far:
All criticisms are welcome. Just don't be a dick about it :v
EDIT: SoundCloud's compression really killed the clarity (especially the high end) in this mix. Uploaded to Newgrounds instead.

Thank you for the input!
If you never were able to download this track, I've uploaded it on my Google Drive for download https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8GgUre9SEM3OEZmcTVjX2p0Z2s/view?usp=drivesdk
Sorry I took so long, I'm working on a heavy metal song with another Newgrounder
I wanted to clarify something as well:
I'm no lyricist, and therefore I'm not rapping on this. Someone else here offered to do it. I can only hope he's dope enough and can give me a clean recording. However, incorporating said vocals shouldn't be a problem for me.

Bumping to remind myself, Gario, and any other evaluators to eval this.
Thanks, I forgot to bump it myself.

It's called "Harsh Life," and is a remix of a song called "Harsh" I made early this year.

Another FlipFlop Trap joint. I tried to give it a little bit of retro party vibe. Or something.

I'm most concerned about the percussion here. Especially the stomp. It sounds a bit funky, but I'm not sure what to do about it. I plan to work more on the high end of the percussion. The hats are a bit repetitive.
Also, if I can get some help with lyrics, I'd love to make an entire trap album of Sonic 3 & Knuckles.
"Sonic 3 & Knuckles: Hedgehog In The Trap" xD

I'm a bit busy at the moment with life and a couple other things, but this sounds pretty cool. I can take you up on that rapping offer if you wish.
That's what's up.
You have complete control over the content with the lyrics and structure, even if I have to rearrange the instrumental and rewrite the hi hats to accommodate the verses. And, if you want, I can sing a chorus, with or without autotune

This is pretty good I like it!
Thank you! I upload something new every Thursday, be it SEGA Genesis music, trap or dubstep. Here's my audio page on Newgrounds

Midi as in the sounds u used which make it sound like a Sega genesis soundtrack. I would try and find more better synths to use. The idea is right and the arrangements is good, but the sounds could be better. I'm sure you can find a really good EDM or Trap soundpack which comes with good synths.
Ah, that makes sense . I mainly used VOPM and some trance VSTs that come with Mixcraft . If you have any recommendations on VSTs I'd be glad to hear them.
And you mentioned the SEGA Genesis . Funny thing is that I do make SEGA Genesis music as well:
-
@The Nikanoru yes, I do plan rapping for this track. Unfortunately, I'm no lyricist, so I'm hoping for some help as far as that goes.
@noTuX I don't think so. The only samples I used were the percussion, 808 bass and those riser fx leading out of the intro. Everything else was VST instruments.
@Smooth4lyfe1987 I dunno why the intro should be "in your face." I like it when a song builds up a little bit from the beginning. Well, except when listening to death metal. That's when I'm looking for an auditory assault :v
Thank you everyone for your feedback. I'm hoping to get this official on OC ReMix

I listen to trap music, and I like where your going with this BUT
I would revamp the intro to make it more "in your face"....add a bass to the intro maybe. I would also change the synths to sound less "midi-ish"
I love your arrangement of this track, I'd just use more "powerful" instruments and emphasize more on bass
Thank you for the feedback! Definitely going to pump the bass a bit harder, as the guy who suggested this remix said the same thing...
But, could you please clarify "midi-ish" for me? Is it one or more of the instruments, or just too much reverb? Or both?

Glad I could help out. I don't have anything worth posting at the moment, but keep an eye on this forum. I'll post something up there eventually.
I made a little more progress:
https://m.soundcloud.com/jk_flipflop/sonic-and-knuckles-death-egg
I plan changes to the percussion. As is, it's a bit flat.
-
130 bpm, typical trap. I can rap, but I'm trash at writing lyrics. I'm up for someone else rapping, but I intend to at least sing on this track.
Here's what it sounds like so far...

Curious approach. The key of your intro makes me think that this is a pretty happy Death Egg. LOL
I like the synth-tones and what you have for the verse, but the beats seem pretty shallow to me. I'm not very experienced with a trap beat, so this may be sound design, but the clap in the intro bugs me.
I'm interested to see where you take this.
Aww, I knew I would screw up on something. Now that you mentioned that, I realize that I put the beep boops in the beginning in the key of F when everything else is G minor. Technically not out of key, but still, I did it wrong. Thanks for pointing that out.
And you're right. Those claps are off a little bit. I intend to change drum samples when I'm done with the arrangement.
Thank you very much for your input. It helped a lot. I appreciate it. Are you working on anything you on which you would like feedback?

This is what I have so far:

Constructive criticisms welcome.

Current version of remix:

The only difference between this and planned submission is the addition of rapping. If it's submittable now, it's submittable as a full rap song.

Thank you, Slimy. I've paid a visit to that page and tried all available options before coming here. Some of those appear to do nothing, while others only act as regular compressors (no sidechain).
I guess I'll just wait for 8.
-
Exactly as the title states. Looking for a good sidechain VST for Mixcraft that won't cost me anything. I want to give my drum kick room to breathe inside the bass, and likewise on the midrange and treble.
Even if I have to use it as input-output on two tracks at a time. Mixcraft is weird like that.

Using that line of reasoning, a more accurate statement would be "all DAWs suck at orchestral music." [1]

Maybe you could point me to some free VSTs that do the trick? M- Theory doesn't like being used in Mixcraft :/

Oh do elaborate.
The midi instruments in Mixcraft just suck ass. I usually download VSTs for whatever kind of music I want to make (only free ones), but there doesn't seem to be anything for orchestral music, so I'm stuck with the default midi instruments in Mixcraft for that purpose. Other than that, it's pretty good and easy to use.
-
So, I made this midi file of the Future Fuckballs 2010 theme from AVGN Adventures a few months ago, and I was wondering if anyone wanted to add to it and possibly collaborate on some kind of remix of the theme. I use Mixcraft 7, which absolutely sucks for orchestral music, so if that's what you want to do, just go ahead and use my midi file. If you're looking to do anything else with it, hit me up. If you're good at writing lyrics, I'm willing to rap, sing or scream/growl. Whatever.
Also, a Newgrounds user made this out of my midi file, but I can't convince her to get on this site and try to get it up here.

I've cut out high frequencies from instruments with unwanted harmonics, but it never occurred to me to cut out lows from higher frequency instruments.
I was considering rewriting the whole thing, and now that you mention it, I will. And again, thank you very much for your helpful feedback. I might actually be able to make this sound right.
