Psychol0gist Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Very nice touch with take-in of the "acapella" yet still holding a beat in there. Guitars? If you do put it in, don't let it overpower this song because right now you got a sort of balance placed in. There's enough leftover for a bridge in which to accompany the guitars (if placed) but it will be a short one at that or I see it being dragged on. This is really something I will like to see get polished to something finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumajoBelmont Posted February 19, 2009 Author Share Posted February 19, 2009 yeah, i think after the second chorus It'll be an instrumental take of the chorus to cap it off... not long to go now Yeah, the guitar will be there to just add texture and really make chorus soar... maybe a lead guitar for the last section could cap it off?

Psychol0gist Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 As long as it doesn't overpower the entire piece. Best to somehow complement it. Can't really help ya on how that would sound but that would be how it be tackled in a WIP-sense. Hmmm might add in a surprise with the back-up singer in the last chorus/section?

AJ-enova Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 Oh ho great lyrics for the second segment . But i think you need to do something about the 'wobble' at the end of each line in the new bit.... Seriously loving it overall... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulinEther Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Awesome lyrics. Really. I was hesitant about the really long line regarding pens and prose but it worked well. I didn't mind the vibrato (i guess this term applies to vocals), it kept things interesting, especially during the acapella section. This does leave me wanting more, though. It's probably the length of the acapella which is starving me of the beat/bass/stuff... your voice comes out pretty well throughout though, so I'm not at all disappointed. Not sure what I'm trying to say.. something like... "moar plz"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Sh-shivers as I listen to it for the first time. Amazingly 80s and messageful. Great, great lyrics (and layering) sung with a very unique, emotive voice. This is a fresh take on the source too. I was hoping for more lyrical ReMixes. Looking forward to an update!

AkumajoBelmont Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Okies, so I think I'm gonna officially start looking for someone to provide me with some guitar for the mix. Any interested parties, just let me know if you want in. Been thinking of also adding some real bass lines to the chorus. Same as above, if your interested. I don't really have access to getting these recorded locally, so I'm looking to the community to lend a hand. Hope to hear back soon! -Robbie.

Dash Myoku Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Well, as I've mentioned before with your Sonic remix, I'd be glad to help. I just need to get my guitar gear from a friends house first. If someone else hasn't already decided to help you, I'll let you know when I get my stuff and am ready to rock. As for the actual track...impressive. God, I wish I could do this stuff. You, sir, make me jealous...as usual. xD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumajoBelmont Posted February 22, 2009 Author Share Posted February 22, 2009 Awesome:D Could you perhaps link me or email me some of your stuff? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunther Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Interesting; not my genre but maybe I will like the final product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Myoku Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Awesome:D Could you perhaps link me or email me some of your stuff? http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/117753 Had this around here for awhile. But, it's about the only track I have with live-guitar. Not to mention that this was before I got my AWESOME amp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZealPath Posted February 23, 2009 Share Posted February 23, 2009 Very nice, at first I was concerned that this source has been overused (kinda like Super Metroid's Red Brinstar area), but you've done something very unique, and I really think the vocals so far are great. Definitely different enough from The Megas' version (theirs is more rock) to stand on its own. Be curious to see what else you come up with for this piece, I think this is going to be "one to watch" for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkumajoBelmont Posted February 24, 2009 Author Share Posted February 24, 2009 Okies, here's WIP 4!!! http://www.box.net/shared/dlbz52kfvh A few changes. Some more Percussion added... found some Beat Box samples, So I've fleshed out the intro and the little bridge segments a bit. I've added some additional trancy pads to the chorus too. It all sounds a lot clearer now. Also, added a build up after the second verse to lead into a key change for the last chorus. It's still missing some effects to make it really soar, but it'll get there. There will be a repeat of the chorus, followed by a little vocal adlib bit to lead it out. No outro yet. Also, I haven't recorded the vocals for the key change yet, so it's just instrumental at the moment. But I'll get around to recording them in the next couple of days, so watch this space. Still missing a few things... my planned guitars and new bass line are not in there yet, so those will be coming in later updates. I've spaced out the mix ready for these additions, so it still sounds a bit starkers. Enjoy!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scaredsim Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Keychange !! This is really going great. I love the chorus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychol0gist Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 Hmmm. The instrumental break is an interesting one at that. Have no idea what the guitars will be like when it's placed in though. There's a big question mark. A bit of harmony in it but as it is there's just a little bone to be pick with the duration of the break. Could drop it down and when you do add back in the chorus for it, make sure it differs in delivery so as to add in a bit of a clamatic but smooth end. Just to point out that you do have a restriction on submissions, so if you can't take in all of our points, try cut the fat. Hope this helps ya out.

Lie Mf B Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 If the collab with Dash Myoku falls out, I'm interested in possibly recording guitar and bass. I'm playing a lot of guitar, so I should be able to come up with something decent. The only problem is that my schedule is packed right now. But let me know if you're interested, if you think my playing would be suitable. Click on my Myspace icon to hear my music. (My website, linked below, is offline until tomorrow or Friday). Good luck in the meantime! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulinEther Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 ho ho, i was wondering if you were going to put in that key change or not - guess you did. Sounding nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ-enova Posted February 25, 2009 Share Posted February 25, 2009 OMFG! I am SERIOUSLY loving that instrumental section! Although I wouldn't play the original melody 4 times, it drags a bit. Twice would do... But I really think you need to have the chorus in the song twice, like before. You should simply add it on just after the Instumental section!

SoulinEther Posted February 26, 2009 Share Posted February 26, 2009 I think he said he was supposed to be singing the chorus once in that section, but he hasn't yet recorded the chorus for the key change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ-enova Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 So itll be like Melody twice then the chorus covering the later 2 times? Sounds good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AkumajoBelmont Posted March 9, 2009 Author Share Posted March 9, 2009 There will be one soon!!! Got it sounding a little more polished, and got some stuff planned for the end too.. last chorus is recorded and ready to go! Will post as soon as I got it to where I want it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psychol0gist Posted March 9, 2009 Share Posted March 9, 2009 Can't wait for it then. Everyone interested is eager to see what you spun up on them mixing tables. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 This is a great song. I find myself singing the lyrics, particularly the refrain, over other Wily ReMixes. Looking forward to the next update! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
