djpretzel Posted May 17, 2003 Posted May 17, 2003 hey DJP, this is mitch of Rosencrantz & guildensterN. ive got something of a submission for ya, but its a bit different than usual... usually i come bearing a submission of R & G, but this time, ive got something that i did on my own.. with a little bit of a story behind it. i was wanting to get into the iron mix contests, and i tried my luck at one called iron mix "popcorn", and they were remixing a phantasy star track "final dungeon"... but i accidentally started mixing "final battle", cause im a dufus... and by the time i figured out that i was remixing the wrong song, it was too late to rectify the situation...i figured that i could just submit the song as a regular submission... so thats what im doing... its a little short cause the limit on the comp was 2 min... but i still think its cool... anyway heres the lowdown... artist: Lefty (you can link my profile to the profile of the same name on the message boards) Title: the battle of hair metal remix of: "final battle" (phantasy star 1) you can find it at the usual url scroll down, its toward the bottom...hope you enjoy... thats manly talk! Mitch
Vig Posted May 20, 2003 Posted May 20, 2003 hmm the guitar is out of tune often. vibrato is one thing, but you want to keep the notes consistently in tune. the guitar is also too dry. it sticks out from the rest of the song. too short, and there isnt enough development. the lead guitar needs some work. NO
analoq Posted May 23, 2003 Posted May 23, 2003 i remember that IMC popcorn, that's where my "wanta phanta" came from. in addition for being a dufus and remixing the wrong song, you got the limitations wrong too. there was a 2 megabyte limit for the filesize, not a 2 minute limit for the length. my submission was over 2 minutes. anyways, vigilante summed up the problems with this: guitars sound muddy, too short. i would also like to complain about the balance of the mix though, all the parts are loud and sorta steping over each other, i think you pushed the volume up too hot... it's not distorting yet but i can hear the the limiter working. i found that 24 hours was not enough time to come up with something ocr-quality, i had to work on my mix a bit afterwards before i felt confident submitting it. no
Malcos Posted May 30, 2003 Posted May 30, 2003 It's too short, and I don't like the sound of the guitar. It's seems too loud at times, taking over the whole mix, and since I don't like the sound of it in the first place, that's not a good thing. Don't like the ending. NO
