Spakku Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Your bass synth sounds like it's quacking when it's at normal speed. Aside from that, there's not much I like about this. If you really want to make a Dungeon 9 techno song I suggest you start from scratch, since this seems beyond repair. Sorry if you're offended by my bluntness.

progressive Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 I wouldn't say this is unsalvageable, but there are definitely some areas where the dissonance works and others where it does not. I do like the tempo changes, I think those are worth keeping. And the squealing strings at 0:40 sound like bats (a potential Ganon reference), so that's pretty nifty. I assume you are going to lengthen it, so be sure to incorporate some other melodic source (or your own) at some point, or this won't stand a chance with the judges. Otherwise it's just a repetitive background track. I have limited time to critique here, so hopefully others will hit the spots that I missed. Good luck.

Ghetto Lee Lewis Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I disagree with the repetition (listen to the original before reviewing this PLEASE). I think you've mixed it up well enough to keep it interesting. It is a catchy melody after all. I think what it needs is better mixing (I'm on headphones so pardon me when I say this): more bass. I want to hear some louder drums and some crazier drum sequencing. As for changing the melody, probably the best thing to do is to add some other synths in here, maybe cut out the melody and add some trippy solo of some sort (think DnB). I can actually see some potential here if you think your mixing skills are good enough. Come to think of it, I would love to hear a DnB version of this song. That would really make my day. =) Please note: I actually listened to this song twice. That's a lot more than most WIP's (and even some remixes) I listen to on this site. I like what you got going here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabond23 Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 I agree that this is definitely something to work on, but its already halfway there. I like the beat, but think that the drums should have more power to them. Also, maybe trying to pan some of the instruments to create more of a stereo effect will help in the overall tone of the song. The song does need to be lengthened a little bit, maybe adding a solo or something of a different pace might help spice it up a bit. All in all, i think its a great start. I would like to hear the end result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuketheXjesse Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Pretty much what everyone else said. That Bass needs a little more oomph. Definitely remix potential if I do say so myself. Just remember to mix it up a little and not stay too close to the source Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glasfen Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 This is great! I didn't know what to expect, except I've always hoped that someone would remix this tune. The first 30 seconds could use a little more variation (an intro too) but I love the rhythm after 0:52 and the percussion and synth which creep in. They add a lot of depth. A breakdown would be cool. Very nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonGoku-X Posted March 25, 2009 Author Share Posted March 25, 2009 hey, thanks for all the Feedback. Here is a new Version with more "opphm" I know, I have to make it longer bring some Variation in this too. I just changed some Instrument at the moment. http://ben.nijumi.de/zelda_Level9.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellos~Core Posted March 25, 2009 Share Posted March 25, 2009 Well, I never actually got as far as the final dungeon in the original Zelda, though I have heard the song via the NSF file. I must say, I like how insidious you've made it sound with this song. Definitely fits for a location leading up to Ganon. Good work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stellos~Core Posted March 31, 2009 Share Posted March 31, 2009 Bumped for the purpose of getting noticed, since editing my last post wouldn't get seen... I've thought of a name for the song, in case you're taking suggestions. "Heart of Ganon" Just tossing that out there and all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
