Tex Posted August 24, 2008 Share Posted August 24, 2008 Finished this song few months ago. Got recently rejected by the judge panel. In any case, I decided to release it publically in the WIP forum, so anyone can listen to it. 01/16/09 - EDIT: [LINK FIXED] (~10mb mp3) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
progressive Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Hey Txai, thanks for posting this. I always wonder what the songs on the judges' decisions forum sound like. I did listen to the whole thing, and it sounds like you've got enough material in there for about five songs. Some of the effects are really great, though, and I think if you adopted a very critical ear you could edit out what doesn't work and stitch together what does, assuming you are still working on this. Anyway, good luck with your future projects! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex Posted August 26, 2008 Author Share Posted August 26, 2008 This song is complete. I have no intentions in working on it anymore. As for the hosting, try VGMix instead: http://www.vgmix.com/members/421/audio.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Danceatron Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 My thoughts: I should mention first that though I think this has some serious merit, I'm not a fan of the overall style you used. My biggest gripe is that I was waiting the entire time for the song to pick up, and it never did. It's a long song too, so that didn't help on that front. There's a lot of interesting musical ideas in here, but I'm not sure they come together like they should. It's one chill sequence flowing into a slightly different chill sequence, flowing into another. I would have loved this if it was more dynamic. I'd like to see it pick up energy at some point. I also think you could have used a better variety of instruments. It's 100% soft synths. 100%. That said, excellent production quality, and again, good musical concepts. You sound like you're done working on this. My advice to you is to work on other stuff for a while and eventually come back to this one. You could make this into something very special. You may just have to take a fresh look at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 A lot of the instrument choices and some production issues make this a bit annoying to listen to, but the arrangement sounds good. It's pretty varied, but feels somewhat cohesive despite that. Good stuff, but I'm not surprised you were rejected. The aforementioned instrument choices could use some fixing up. Not that there's a problem with synths, it's that they could be a bit more varied and more complex. Better mixed, all that. Keep trying to get one past the J's.

Tex Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 I dislike bumping threads, but I am doing it so because I figured out some people was not able to listen to it due to hosting troubles. The link in the main post has been fixed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSB Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Parts sound cool, but really it never goes anywhere. It's at the same level of energy through the whole thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkmaster987 Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 What is it with people and uploading files??? It's not a difficult thing, surely? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted January 15, 2009 Share Posted January 15, 2009 It's pretty varied, but feels somewhat cohesive despite that. I agree completely. There is a certain feel to the whole mix which binds it together. Very nicely done, though it feels like it should end at a few points. Maybe tie those together a little bit? That's my only suggestion. Otherwise, I think it's excellent and a different style (kinda chippy) which would add diversity to the site.

MechaFone Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 I'm attracted to remixes like this. The kind that doesn't go so far as try to be a hundred different things. Some remixes work out like that, but I much prefer a remix that knows what it is and doesn't try to be something else. This remix speaks to me Txai, and I like what it says.
