DarkCecil13 Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 GrayLightning has been waiting almost two months for this one. Hey djp' date='It's your friendly new-age oc mixer again. My next OC submission since my Schala Memories Lost in Time is Secret of Mana's Star of Darkness. This is a slightly updated version of what was posted on vgmix on october and is/was easily my most popular arrangement. This is a blend of new age, soft rock and orchestral. Sorry the ID tags are messed up, our good friends at mp3.com decided to change it, and change the genre to blues as well, go figure.

Protricity Posted February 2, 2003 Posted February 2, 2003 This mix is rather confusing. Its not at all solid. The percussion is kinda... really bad. It sounds like it was made with a random drum generator. There are velocity problems with the bass kick etc. There isnt anything interesting about the guitar. I feel like the whole song has a bunch of color tone problems, instruments that dont fit well together. In whole, the song hit me with a very bad vibe. I would work better on the instrument choice, percussion, and arrangement of the melody. NO
Malcos Posted February 15, 2003 Posted February 15, 2003 The drums strike me as being rather odd. The song doesn't have coherency, and the instruments just don't work together. NO
orkybash Posted February 16, 2003 Posted February 16, 2003 As others said, there's no coherency here. The instruments don't work together, the different parts of the arrangement don't work together, and I'm just left wondering what exactly I listened to. Sorry, but this needs work. NO
Disco Dan Posted February 21, 2003 Posted February 21, 2003 squidfont! The guitar is bad. If you'll notice, I don't use guitar in many (if any) of my songs, and the reason I don't is because I don't have guitar samples that are good enough, or real enough to use in such an obvious fashion. That alone kills it for me. And the generalmidi-kit-sounding drums bug the hell out of me. NO D
