HoboKa Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 This one is certainly more cogent. Though I'm not sure if its OCR quality. http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/ylkf/CT_Convey_Thy_Dance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozovian Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 How did you update it? I can't access tindeck at all. Ping, lookup, traceroute... none of them even acknowledge its existance. Anyone else having problems with tindeck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spakku Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 The title would have me believe that this is a dance mix but it feels really ambient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I haven't been able to access it, I think there are technical problems with the site, I had to use boomp3.com for my azure lake remix :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cyril the Wolf Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Hmm. I really like the way this is interpreted. I dunno if it would make OCR, but I can still make some suggestions as far as production goes. The snare. I dunno I think the snare sticks out a bit. Automate to make it less... obtrusive during the intro. Also, there seems to be a lot of mud, probably the result of reverb. I think if the bass is a bit dryer I would be able to actually hear it. The layering at 2:05 is really cool. A little clarity on the part of some of the instruments would lend itself to being better. This being said, I am a bass player so I have very specific bass ideas in mind, but take that one with a grain of salt. Try it, but don't take it as law. I like the ideas though. The snare works later in the song.... meh maybe I'm just being picky. Solid mix IMHO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rozovian Posted September 11, 2008 Share Posted September 11, 2008 Let's move the tindeck discussion to this thread. HoboKa, if this keeps up, you'll have to find another host. See this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted September 12, 2008 Author Share Posted September 12, 2008 alright new update that's not using tindeck to host...because Rozo is a real hobo. But anyhooo http://www.fileupyours.com/view/208209/CT_Convey_Thy_Dance_verA3.mp3 Enjoy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted September 14, 2008 Share Posted September 14, 2008 Yes, _I_'m the hobo here. Snare could use a little more of its high range. After 1:53, the drum writing gets poorly synched, probably your excessive snare writing. Finding a softer snare to alternate between might improve that, but you still have to deal with the timing. Saws panned hard in both channels. Could be more varied, it gets a bit thick sounding. Gets a bit thick and unclear sounding. Maybe that's your idea of OCR's sound, but then you've probably listen too much to Darke's tracks. Clutter towards the end, those saws could play something more supportive instead of detracting from melody. Toms in the end are a bit too exposed, which doesn't sound good. Maybe you can cover them with bass notes. Melody feels a bit lonely in the writing, it could use a backing track with a supllementary melody or something. Yes, you've got two tracks playing the same melody, but you could use a track playiong something different yet supporting. As for source, I recognize some bits around 1:00 from source. No source link, no source to compare to except what I remember. It also has an overall muddy sound. See if you can bring out the higher range more and the low mids or mid mids a bit less. EQ or multiband compressor. It's pretty good, tho. I think this could get on OCR if you can unmud the sound and fix most of the issues mentioned above. IMO, good chance to get on the site... eventually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted September 14, 2008 Author Share Posted September 14, 2008 ROFL @ listenning to Darke's crap for too long. Well, I know about the mudiness and whatnot. I've got a new variation of the melody at 1:50 thats much closer to the source. However, it needs a solo lead to kick it off, so I'm waiting on a certain mixer to make that >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dramon Posted September 17, 2008 Share Posted September 17, 2008 Not bad, i really really like this track. Though in my personal opinion near the end it gets cluttered and its like youre trying to do too much compared to the rest of the track. I think it'd be a lot better as a minimalist track. First half was much more strong. The stuff at like 1:12 the samples you use, i love those and they seem to fit a lot better with the track and it's ambience better than the heavier synth. You already have a heavy bass line carrying it so the lighter samples really do that much more in this situation and avoid cluttering the soundstage.

But I'd rather not make it minimalistic =p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
