  1. disclaimer: this is a headphone listen.

    this may be a bit too crunchy...what i mean, overcompressed.

    nice break after the piano.

    arrangement might be a little bit too liberal, the original is there, but not often. i can hear the march rhythm pop in a few times, but maybe not enough to pass this. ending felt a little lackluster compared to the rest of the song.

    i like the way this concept sounds, and i hope you give it some TLC.

  2. not bad for a new guy

    however, the mixdown isn't that solid. the bass might be a little too big, this could come down to a personal taste question. the drums are not big enough in the mix, they really feel subdued and don't share as much space as the rest of the mix.

    as far as the arrangement, it's kinda close...thought i really think to put this one over the bar would be to put some kinda improvised/altered version of the original melody in there. i hear the original in there twice, it would be good to have it have a little of your own spin on it.

    personally i think this will probably get a "no, resubmit" if submitted as is.

    nice start though.

  3. I've only listened through the album once, but I like what I hear so far. However, I was disappointed to hear Tetanus and Dance of the Zinger omit certain parts of the originals: Tetanus didn't have that one cool beep-like sounding rhythm, and Zinger didn't have the backround drums of the original. Of course, it's entirely possible that I missed these. They're still great songs, though!

    yep you missed it, because it's all over the place, the synth bass and the percussion are playing it...so it's more of a rhythm based thing rather then a filter swept synth. so yeah i kept the rhythm of it, dropped the pitched part of it.

  4. I'm going to learn how to do more with expression and volume automation, but I didn't do any of that here.

    If you're not going to do these it's not going to sound real at all, realistic performance is all about the details. automation will make things sound much more realistic.

    2 other things, attacks of choir and strings are way slow and make them sound unnatural too. regular humanization of velocities and where the notes actually fall on the beat will help with a real sound.

    this song is really lacking bass in general too, you have a low string part but it's not very present.
