Dafydd Posted February 28, 2008 Share Posted February 28, 2008 Haha, nice groove! A little minimalistic for my taste. I really like those beats, but some more meat on the bones would be nice. A fat saw bass, maybe? Or a popping counter-lead arpeggio? A nice start to be sure, but it could use some work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Single-earphone quick feedback - I'll give you more when I'm at home and have my headphones. I'll also compare it to your previous version, and to source then. It's minimalistic, but melodic and groovy enough to just need some backing instruments, rhythmic ones, whatever the equivalent of a rhythm guitar is in this soundscape. An evolving pad or one with a set rhythm, maybe a strong tremolo might work. It's also kind'a repetitive, so you should make it different towards the end. Vary it more, either the melody, the rhythm, or the soundscape. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 I don't think this is enough for a re-approval. It's really not much more than a sound upgrade, when it could be so much more. It's slower, and it has a few extra sections, but it's very repetitive and the main sections don't have much to add to source. Sorry man, I don't think it's a yes. Mostly, it's too empty and repetitive. Since 2002 the standards have risen more than this song has improved. Good luck tho! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emulator Posted February 29, 2008 Author Share Posted February 29, 2008 i really appreciate all the feedback, you guys are great.. only thing is i guess i'll stick to remixing on a personal level... i do it for plain and simple fun and to play songs from my favorite old games.. if its not enough.. i guess i should just quit.. standards are pretty high i guess as u mentioned...i'm just a guy who can play a few chords , do a few beats ..but guess they're too simple for the standards...ill probably, strive and try a little more..but the end result , if my mixes are just not acceptable, is retirement from the community, and ill just be a listener..would never stop coming back to OCR though.. thanks guys..

Rozovian Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Nah man, your works are good, they're just not finished. Instead of submitting updated versions of the old ones, grab a new track that nobody's remixed before, and remix that. The devil's in the details, they say (I think), so work on the details 'til you get him out of there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
