DjBjra Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 it's an oldskool beat style remix of searching for friends from ff6. I thought this would be a good song for my first OCremix attempt.

HoboKa Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Well I dig it. Not sure what the other picky dinks think, but it's good to me - nice production, sweet pads and stuff; also cool cut off technique - plus how did you make that sweet saw sound at 1:15 or so?? BTW, this reminds me of DKC 2, so it has a 2x nostalgic factor going on for me lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nutritious Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 You know, this is actually quite good. Most of the sounds are good quality and production is very good. I was worried it would be too conservative, but you started changing things up more as it went along - so no worries there. That said, the drum beat is good (I like the filtered fills you used), but I'd like to see some more variation. It stays on autopilot for quite a long time throughout. I heard a couple times it was filtered, but it's still the same beat playing throughout. If it's a loop, slice it up and change up the rhythms, get a nice groove going. At the 2:09, it starts to feel like just a rehash of :52. Not a significant enough contrast between the two to keep it interesting IMO. It IS a really nice section though, I like the lead and the pads behind are very nice. Not necessary, but I'd like to hear a bit more presence on the bass; maybe some more high end or something. It's filling out the bottom, but the bass moves a lot in the original and plays a significant role. Maybe consider changing it up to a more interesting patch and letting it stand out a bit more. Vary up the writing too if you're going to do that. Uh oh, repeat territory again. At the moment, you don't have enough material/ideas for 4:20 worth of song. Either need to make some cuts of the note-for-note repeated sections, or make some significant changes to keep things fresh. It sounds like a large portion of the second half is verbatim repeats. Overall, great sound and feel here, but it still needs further development in the arrangement department. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
