djpretzel Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 I would like to submit a remix I have created of the Resident Evil Code Veronica save-room music. The title is "No Time For Tears" and the URL for it is My handle is Mr. Jackhammer and my site is www.mp3.com/mrjackhammer . Thank you for running such a great site =)
Malcos Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 The extra vibratoey strings make this very interesting indeed! This mix does achieve it's purpose, although I think it could be improved with some more reverb or perhaps a delay to the piano to give it more ambience. But anyway, YES
GrayLightning Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 I'm on the other end of the spectrum. I think there's too much reverb on the piano. It's not a major detraction. The overall production and vibe of this mix is wonderful. The moody tone of the piano against the lead paints quite a dramatic scene. Percussion work throughout is both fitting and unique. It's always great to see someone not doing generic four on the floor drums with trance claps. I think the mix is slightly drawn out and does give off a hint of repetitivity. This would have been nicer if it were slightly shorter. Classy mix, so YES
Disco Dan Posted December 27, 2003 Posted December 27, 2003 I honestly felt it lost the moodiness as soon as the first drum came in. The drums are so incredibly dry. No reverb, nothing. Just spat spat spat. Then there's repeating bad chord at :54 and 1:09, etc. The mixing of the melody with the accompaniament seems to be having similar tonality problems. That and the whole thing seems like a downgrade in quality from the original. Actually, I don't know that. I haven't heard the original, but if it's from any of the newer systems, it seems my statement would stand, considering the audio capabilities of the newer systems. Anyway, that's my take: NO D
Protricity Posted December 28, 2003 Posted December 28, 2003 This mix is quite flooded. The strings, lead, and background guitar notes, along with the reverb upon them create this flood of sound that really hurts this song. This song needs to have more concentration on audio quality. Release on the instruments need to be held back a bit as well. Indeed there is a bad chord at 1:00 and it extends into the rest of the track. Finally, this song needs to repeat less and provide more . NO
Israfel Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 I do agree that the mix here seems too muddied. You have an instrument in the upper register that seems to just repeat two notes throughout most of the piece- aside from cluttering up the sound those suspended notes also create quite a few dissonances. And it's a shame, because aside from the cluttered sound I rather like this- but it could be so much better with just a little tweaking. NO
Vig Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 the first thing i notice is that the piano patch is lacking. the second thing i notice is the horrible harmonic choices made throughout the entire mix. i dont need to say anthing else. the chords killed this mix. NO
