WIP: Descent 1 Credits "Novel Depths"

[deftflux]

I've had this remix sitting around for a few months. I posted it on some Descent forums for feedback, but not on OCR. I'm not quite happy with it, but haven't had a chance to work on it in a while. Looking for some feedback.

Descent was made in 1995, so the original on PC is MIDI (as I'm used to hearing it). But an actual studio recorded version was produced for the Mac and PlayStation versions. My remix is based on both versions.

It's alright as it is. However, there are two things wrong right now that would be easy to fix and make it better.

1. The EQ is too dull. Bring up both the low and high ends of the spectrum. It'll help brighten the sound a lot. Raising the volumes in general will help, also, because it's a bit quite right now. Exporting the file at 196kb/s or bringing the hz to 44.1k would be good, too, if it isn't already.

2. The samples used are not very good. Look for some different samples to use, or enhance those that are used using reverb, delay, etc. I think you using a little already, but it's not enough to mask the sample quality right now... and don't just 'add more reverb' either! That will screw with what you've got! Just try to use some better samples.

A final note is that this is very, very close to the source. Understandably, you aren't asking to be posted on OC, as you said you've been to other sites and just want feedback, so that isn't bad at all. However, if you wanted to make this more interesting, adding some more originality to this will help a lot

I hope this helps!

BTW - Descent was awesome. I only ever had the demo, but in 1995, that was the shit!
