Ryojin Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 First off, sorry if this isn't in the right place... I looked over the rules, but didn't read every single little bit, so I may have missed something, but this appears to be the right spot... Anyway, I have a remix that I made that I would like some feedback on. It's the first remix I have ever made, but I don't think I did too horribly badly on it. http://files.filefront.com/STARDestructionmp3/;10136614;/fileinfo.html I need all the tips I can get here. I made that using FL Studio 8. At one point I opened a midi of the original song to see what the right notes for it were, but I didn't directly copy anything over. I don't think I am completely finished with it, but if I get enough positive feedback, I am going to work pretty hard to get this to be as good as I can. If not, I'll just cut my losses and move on. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverCoat Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 I should just bus over to your house and teach you how to use the thing [finally, someone in Seattle. There's only like 1 or 2 of us here, not counting the many Shizzies] Though, this isn't bad at all for a first remix, I guess. Is this the first thing you've done EVER or is it just your first remix? The good: -BLAKE STONE!!!! The bad: -The synths sound kind of preset-ey -extremely repetitive. The short and simple melody repeats ad nauseum for minutes on end, with a bassline breaking the repetition a tiny bit in the middle and at the end. Basically, the song could've been 1/4th as long and you could've gotten the point across. Also, you have a 1-measure drum pattern that does not change for the entire song. I recommend learning about drum fills and things of that nature. -the song doesn't really have an ending. It just stops at 6:04 and that's that. -lol, Slayer. don't use this ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't get around to adding in different drums to it, but I did cut it down by about two minutes or so, so it sounds a bit less repetitive. As for the Slayer part... I honestly haven't got a clue why that's in there still, I thought I got rid of that quite a while ago... O.o Thanks for the comments! Got any other comments for a complete remixing noob?

OverCoat Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 Not really no :3 Just keep going. I would recommend writing your own stuff too, to learn how to make a song from scratch with no preexisting melody. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryojin Posted May 9, 2008 Author Share Posted May 9, 2008 Well, I worked on it some, and made it a little better. It is still a bit too repetitive, but not as bad as it was before. I did change the beat a little, but am still working on that, so don't be surprised that it isn't that good yet. http://files.filefront.com/STARDestructionV3mp3/;10171410;/fileinfo.html Again, I could use all the tips I can get...

Ryojin Posted May 12, 2008 Author Share Posted May 12, 2008 Works fine for me... As for the collab idea... I don't feel that I am quite skilled enough to try that yet. Mebbe some time in the future... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
