ellywu2 Posted September 4, 2008 Share Posted September 4, 2008 Hi everyone, has been a while. Posted this up a while ago, have since updated during my time offline. Hope you all enjoy! It's in a nu-skool breaks/hybrid style. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=120752&songID=5963281 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 Ok, as usual, I'm starting with a qualifier, those I hope it won't take away from my comments. I am listening to this mix on my laptop speakers and I am liking it quite a bit. Good job carpet muncher, err... sorry, monster! Another thing I'm not sure about is how it fits with the OCR standards, but I think it should be fine. I've been out of the loop for a bit, so I'm not the best person for more constructive feedback right now, so ask around, and I think it should be ready to go! Great synths and awesome beats!

Rozovian Posted September 5, 2008 Share Posted September 5, 2008 No source link, no source comment. Intro strings are really dense, not really letting the soundscaping be heard. When the breakbeats come in, it starts getting repetitive. More variation in the beats, or some foreground stuff other than them would be nice, as it's currently mixed to put them in the foreground. The ethno flute vanishes a little too soon when you start building up, and it's a shame, the flute sounds awesome. Ending feels a little sudden. The piano is cut off, but I'm more bothered by how it transitionsed (or rather, didn't transition) from beats and all to just piano. It's probably a little too short too. It plays the intro, it gets started, it takes a break, it builds up, it rocks out, and it's over too soon. It's awesome, save for those crits.

progressive Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Don't have time for a full comment, but I like how you randomized the stereo placement of some of the sound effects and acoustic percussion. Sounds like lasers whizzing by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 I agree with Roz on all points. Sounds fantastic! Also, true about those lazerz. Nice touch! I feel there is room for more prominent melody/lead type thing(s) in the arrangement. Very promising stuff! --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiowar Posted September 12, 2008 Share Posted September 12, 2008 Oh I remember this. Doesn't sound much different from how I remember it. but uh yeah so far this is badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Production is very clean on this one. You have nice synth programming as well. The breakbeat part is good so far. The extra bass is a good touch and every instrument has its place and doesn't clash with anything else. Bring up the shamisen (is that what that is?) in the ambient parts. I hear it playing faintly in the background, but I'd like it if it were more prominent. Now arrangement-wise, I think you're trapping yourself into a corner by over-relying on the first two measures of the source. Yes, it makes a good melody loop, but don't think the judges will pass it on that merit alone. Turn other parts of the source into hooks for your remix.
