Castlevania:Aria of Sorrow remix (already done but taking suggestions)

[CC Ricers]

It's already done because I submitted a long time ago to Remix: ThaSauce, so you may download it here.

I call it Dracula's Servants (R:TS is missing the last 's') and it's a remix of the Inner Quarters theme. So I'm open to any suggestions for improvement. It's sweet but short so I don't know if it's OCR worthy yet.

Why didn't you say something?

Edit: As a matter of fact, the filename and ID3 are right, just that one entry is wrong.

And by IS wrong. I mean WAS wrong =P

It is certainly very good. I think it could make it. If not, the judges will tell you what you'd have to change about it, then you could come back here and ask more specific advice.

My guess is if they complained about anything, it might be the string synths.

But, it's very good as-is.

The only thing is, it's hard to say what the judges will say. My speculation is they'll say no, but resubmit.

Thanks for the fix. I didn't even notice the spelling until I went back and looked at the page this week.

I find your music very cool, but haven't you got a website with all your works and WIPs?

I didn't have the source to go by, but I did play the game like 6 times...... I didn't recognize the music until about 1:44 when the melody was played by strings(?). Then the rest all fell into place.

I think it's pretty neat. But I can't say anything production-wise.

I'm hearing source, I think there's enough. Interpretation is fine, as well, imo.

It's a bit cluttery, you should shove some of the tracks further back. Tracks fighting for attention is never a good thing, better to shove stuff in the bg for the keen listener to discover. A lot of the time, the xylophone and the noisy synth are in the way of the melody, and neither seem to need the volume they've got.

You've got some weird stuff here. You've got a piano with a really annoying stereo delay effect on it, and some weird EQ. You've also got clashes, stuff that's out of key, last chord of your 4-measure chord progression.

Piano is a little dry too, could use some reverb and some high cuts. Actually, a lot of the tracks here could use some cuts to their respective high ranges. Can't say which ones don't need it.

The drums are messy, a bit like HoboKa's drum writing and sound, just not as much. Some aggressive EQ-ing of the drums to restrict their frequency coverage might be in order. Hihats might need to be replaced.

Overall, this sounds messy but very good. Cleaning it up would improve this a lot. Good luck, man.
