HoboKa Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 FF7 Remix sexiness. Remixing the song Desire. No source link needed as the tune SHOULD be well known to OCR peeps here http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/ygzf/FF7-_-Profound-Desire_ver1 BTW I can't write basslines worth poop. I'm wondering if any1 would like to help me out and write the bassline for this wip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 I can help with teh bassline. I dunno what exactly you are looking for, but I know how to hold down teh groove. I really like some of the ideas though. The bass does rather... not work for what the rest is doing IMO. It gets kinda weird around 2:00.... Hmm Nice start.

Gario Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 Ah, here's another by you. Well, I know the source tune fine but I'd still recommend posting it, anyhow - it's good to be able to compare the source and the mix at the same time. Well, it's pretty good, right now, although it needs to be tightened up before it can be called 'done'. Mainly, the reverb that you add to it, while necessary, also throws the beat off for the different instruments. Don't take away the reverb, of course, just adjust the sequences so the effect is less noticeable. As for the change at 2:00, personally, I kind of like it, except I expect the chords to resolve differently. It needs the change, and it sounds interesting, but the entire progression altogether is a little bit odd from 2:00 - 2:10, in particular from the first chord to the second. 2:11 - 2:22 is the same.The drums are neat, although sometimes they sound unintentionally off. I'd tweak those. The entire mix as a whole isn't bad at all, really. It's quite listenable. Unfortunately, as a whole it sticks a little close to the source, and the texture is pretty static. Have some fun with what you have here - variety is the spice of life Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyril the Wolf Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 K, which sequencing program do you use? FL or? Erm... I use SONAR. So I dunno if I'd be able to help in that way, the only thing I could do is MIDI compose a bassline or compose a bass line and then send you a .wav. (If I'm not mistaken, MIDI would be the best route to go) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Okkusenman Posted December 10, 2008 Share Posted December 10, 2008 that was cool man, i dug the drum tones, what software are you using? FL with VST plugin? or simply SF2? overall, nice track, flowed nicely! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoboKa Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Not touching my chord prog or drums for now Gario sry http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/dyma/FF7-_-Profound-Desire_ver2 You guys will certainly like ze update nonetheless. Enjoy. Hmmm you know a solo Zyko-ish electric guitar might be a nice addition >< any1 up for doing a live guitar part too ? And Gario here's your midi file as you've requested. PLEASE listen to the midi and compare it to my remix - you'll see that there is a HUGE difference between them. The chord structures are the only real conservative part to it :S - even then I use some original chords. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Starts off great. Not like your usual messes. Unfortunately, it gets messier later on, both the melody and the drums. The track loses direction quite quickly too. Towards the end when the piano comes in, it feels more directed, but before then it was messy. The soundscape is nice, but the drums feel out of place, wrong sound imo. Different from your usual stuff, suffers some of the same problems. Direction is the biggest problem here, followed by messy drums and an ill fitting drum sound. Says I, anyway. Nice to see you do something different, I think I like this more than your other wips. Good work, keep at it, bro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted December 15, 2008 Author Share Posted December 15, 2008 http://www.tindeck.com/audio/my/eecq/FF7-_-Profound-Desire_ver3 UPDATE girlz Did some of them changes that you suggested rozo and Gario. Bassline will hopefully be coming soon-ish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eino Keskitalo Posted December 16, 2008 Share Posted December 16, 2008 Like the famous saying goes: no source link, no source comment. Never take anything for granted. Yup, the start is definitely very nice. I like how the drums come in with that filter. I like the drum sound! Extremely nice beat and fills in the drum intro. Great eerie feeling with the melody and drums. That first melody + drums gets a bit too complicated to follow rhythmically around 01:22. A stuttering, bad fill at 01:22-01:25. You're doing some time signature tricks I presume, but you're not pulling it off. I like the idea, see if you can simplify it a little. Start the melody which starts at 01:24 on a regular first beat of the drum beat, start a new bar with the drums and melody both on the same "one" right there. That's my suggestion, anyway. I think the drums sound a bit fuller in v2, or am I imagining? --Eino Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that a lighter sound would do it, but maybe i just need some completely different snare samples >< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
