PianoCat5 Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 So, this is a little remix I'm working on from Pokemon. It's a rock version of the bike theme from the original Pokemon Red and Blue titles. I intend to incorporate the Evolution theme as well to lengthen and change it up a bit. What do you guys think? http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1212788/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausdog Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Not bad at all... When the electric part starts, the one constant droning note is pretty annoying, but everything is pretty. I trust you're not going to end that suddenly. Still, good job and I really really like this so far. The beginning sounded exactly like a piano until the slide note, though. I liked the first part the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have quite a ways to go before the end, but I suffered from a little mental blockage, and I wanted to hear what people had to say about it since I couldn't think of anything at the time.

MrSneak Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Much better than I expected. Keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayc4life Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I quite liked that, and as you said, it's still work-in-progress so hopefully we'll see more of that so it doesn't end straight on that note or anything. Ire you going to try and implement other "bike" themes from the other Pokémon games into this, or are you sticking to Red/Blue/Yellow? And will this be included in the MissingNo Tracks OCR project, or is this just a little something you were working on by yourself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't part of any project, just something I wanted to do on my own. I was planning on maybe dropping this project unless I can better program the guitar parts or get a better synth or something, but I don't intend to stop working on it now. I am going to stick to Red/Blue/Yellow, and I intend to incorporate the evolution theme later in the song. Again, thanks for the feedback, I'm glad you liked it!

Pavos Posted May 12, 2008 Share Posted May 12, 2008 Nice start, MUCH different from my piano version for the pokemon project. It does sound a little MIDI-ish though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 PRODUCTION [X] Low-quality samples [X] Drums have no energy STRUCTURE [X] Lacks coherence overall (no "flow") [X] Too short [X] Abrupt ending PERSONAL COMMENTS (positive feedback, specifics on checklist criticisms, any other thoughts) Oh, god. Let me get this right out of the way, as someone who utilizes live guitar, this sampled stuff just completely raped my ear drums. It's no offense to you, it's just that sampled guitar -- especially bad/obviously sampled guitar -- almost never goes over well. It's my opinion that if this is to proceed at all, you'll need to either change the genre and stop using fake guitar, or lay down some real guitar tracks in place of the synth ones. Actually, I can see this track rocking fairly well with real electric guitar. Drums seem kind of lifeless as it is right now; snare has a bit more reverb than I usually like, and it seems like it's buried in the mix. I can't even here the kick drum at all. Definite potential, but with definite concerns that need to be addressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 Nekofrog hit most of the main points already. It's very midi-sounding, and not much stereo separation with the instruments either, especially the drums. I'd like to hear some sustained bass in the part starting at 1:10. It would fill out the arrangement nicely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THanks for the tips, though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of people here who may be interested, including myself and perhaps Tensei if he has the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
