Dafydd Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Threw something together this morning while procrastinating the baking of cakes for tonight's party. It's my birthday today, so if you only have bad things to say, save it until tomorrow! www.ngst.nu/ninjagaiden.mp3 It's track 13 in the nsf (Devlilish Influence in the NSFE).

Tensei Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 39 views and no replies - I guess no one had anything nice to say, eh? Everyone's waiting till your birthday is over Anyway, this sounds pretty decent off the bat. Rather chiptuny though, I'd like to hear a bit more sophisticated instrumentation than the sine/triangle bass. I'm definitely hoping this is just an intro to something else because, while cool, I don't think this could make an entire mix by just repeating it and layering stuff over it. Looking forward to hearing more, this really isn't long enough for accurate feedback. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nekofrog Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 1. Straight up cover so far 2. Not much going on in terms of sound Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vagrance Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Happy birthday! Okay, enough nice time. Actually I kid, this isn't off to a bad start, but I feel like this is a rock remix without guitar or vocals. At the moment it just lacks an extra element to it, everything else though sounds great.

At the moment it just lacks an extra element to it, everything else though sounds great. You hit your head on on the nail, this is a rock remix without guitar or vocals. Haven't gotten around to that yet. And yeah, it's a pretty straight cover so far. I'm not sure I understand the "not much going on in terms of sound" comment - do you really mean the sound or do you mean the arrangement? However, "more sophisticated instrumentation than the sine/triangle bass" is what you get after the drums and the guitars and the piano comes in. Agreed, they play the exact same notes the whole way through, but the instrumentation does become more sophisticated. Did you hear the whole thing?

Nekofrog Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 What I meant regarding my comment was, the instruments present in the piece gave it a "bare"-ish feeling, like there wasn't much going on. A bit more layering is what I was hoping for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted May 30, 2008 Author Share Posted May 30, 2008 Ok. I actually thought this covered up the soundscape a lot better than most of my previous works. So you want even more instruments playing the same notes or do you want whishy-whooshy sound effects to fill up the empty space? Or more reverb?

Nekofrog Posted May 30, 2008 Share Posted May 30, 2008 Something more melodical. There's probably some sort of counter-melody you can write to play over what's going on or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted May 31, 2008 Author Share Posted May 31, 2008 I see what you mean now. Yeah, the melodies will need to be varied a little. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
