djpretzel Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Honestly, I have no idea... -djp DJP, DCT and I have a brand new remix for you. Here's the stats: Original Song: Sonic Adventure 2 - A Ghost's Pumpkin Soup Title: Spawns of the Great Pumpkin ReMixers: DCT and reelmojo If you remember the original you'll recall that this is a rap song. For our mix I wrote additional lyrics. So yes, this could be one of the few mixes on OCR with original lyrics. Thanks for considering adding us to the site, and here's the necessary links: The Song: The Lyrics: Thanks again, reelmojo four12@msn.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted May 17, 2003 Share Posted May 17, 2003 Good idea. But... The music was not good, the piano and string samples were bad. The music was repetitive, and although that's ok in rap, this is OC - mix it up. The piano is waaaay too loud and annoying, I can't hear the lyrics, and I needed to follow it via the txt file. Additional Lyrics are ok. The vocal recording is yuk, clipping all over the place, and the vocal is not warm at all. I'm guessing this was recorded using one of those desktop mics you get with your pc. Don't like the cutoff ending. I reckon this could have been pulled off, but the execution of the idea just didn't cut it. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted May 22, 2003 Share Posted May 22, 2003 Exhibit A Down in Pumpkin Hill I gotz to find my lost piece.I know that it's here, I can sense it in my feet OK.Exhibit B I'm hearing someone saying you a chicken, don't be scared!It had to be the wind, 'cause nobody wasn't there. double negative. interestingExhibit C It probably seems crazy, crazy or graveyard eerie,A ghost tried to approach me, he got leary. Is that even a word?its an interesting idea. a few things holding this mix back: the vocal recording is really poor. there are noticable artifacts, and the recording quality is significantly lower than the other instruments. it sticks out. the musical aspect isnt bad...at first...but this song is repetitive as hell. i know, its rap. ok. fine. thats not an excuse for boring me with that same piano line playing throughout the whole song. i dont understand myself why big name rappers dont have "B-Section" beats or lines in their songs. it seems like SOMEBODY would be doing it by now. anyway the lyrics are...questionable at times. some are better than others. i really didnt hold the lyrics against the song when i made my decision to give this a NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 i like hip-hop. don't let anyone tell you otherwise. but this is pretty bad. the beat is not phat enough. the vocals are lo-fi and do not cut through. no overdubs?! and why does this go on for 5 minutes? no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beatdrop Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 The vocals almost entirely kill this. I encourage writing lyrics (which were pretty decent) and recording vocals, but I suggest that if you're going to record vocals, at least make it sound like it wasn't recorded through a cheap $15 computer microphone. Everyone else pretty much hit all the problems with this one. But yes, "leary" is a word, he just spelled it wrong (leery).
