Stepping in Traverse


Recommended Posts

The arrangement sounds pretty spot on as a solo transition from the original song, but the piano sounds very midi. I'd like to hear more from the left hand, greater dynamics in playing, and more use of the breadth of the piano's sonic offerings. Light reverb is awesome for something like this too.

The build to octave change seems weird, very out of place. Once it starts it isn't bad, but it comes out and clobbers the listener in the face if they aren't expecting it. Also, the intro doesn't hold it's own just yet (choice of samples effects how well it keeps as a single note).

This has some potential, and for a start it's really not bad. Keep with it.

Tindeck's being troublesome and cutting the file off from downloads. :( Oh well... My review of the first half of the wip:

Yeah, the piano doesn't sound good. Sounds like a bit plucked rather than hammered (yep, piano is a hammered string instrument). The velocities seem pretty stiff. You'd want to work on those to give it more of a performance feel, you're not getting on ocr with just notes, no matter how well written they are - yep, this sounds well written, just not performed at all.

Performance and piano sound, you sound like you've got the music know-how, just gotta get the production skill up. :D
