djpretzel Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 email: the_orichalcon@hotmail.com site: www.orichalcon.co.nr Game: Doom Original Song: E1M7 - Demons on the Prey Description: This is a groove version ofthe E1M7 music from doom (in the computer station.) I used some ambience at the beginning to work its way in and then built the song up. I even added some voice samples. Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 I'm totally diggin' this one. Nice groove throughout, and the ambient sounds really add to the atmosphere. This is great chill music, with really dark qualities. There's a pulse to it that I really like. No technical issues, aside from maybe a bit too much reverb. There are parts where I feel like the song's going to start clipping, but it doesn't. Cool. I enjoyed this. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted March 15, 2004 Share Posted March 15, 2004 this is the original but softer, slower, and with creepy pads and a chill beat. i don't think it's exactly note-for-note, but it sure sounds like it. edit: i gave the original a listen and while he did add a couple embellishments (different bassline) it still follows the original a little too close. no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny B Posted March 16, 2004 Share Posted March 16, 2004 I'm with Ani on this one. Too close to the original, and not developed-enough synths to make a big difference. Chill beat, yes, but a drum groove alone can't carry ambience. Bassline's a nice touch, not enough to save it for me though. Get some EQ in there, and try to vary your timbres a bit.

Israfel Posted March 26, 2004 Share Posted March 26, 2004 Music, being an abstract art, is rather well-suited to conveying the nebulous and intangible concepts of psyche and emotion. And this mix successfully draws on those unique characteristics of music to capture the darker affections and lure the listener in to its little Orphean nightmare. A pensive expression of the "creeping and encroaching evil." YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 So like,the original, creepy pads, and a drumloop that never goes away. Even if I'm wrong and its 2 steps above this, even that is not good enough. Go for more. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted March 29, 2004 Share Posted March 29, 2004 This is borderline, but enough of an evolution as far as arrangement goes for me. I can't say the original was too pleasing. What makes this mix stand out for me is how the mixer took those elements and created one thick, organic mix out of it. The density here is pristine and enveloping. Drums are slightly repetitive, loopish, but I think it fits the mix. Moody. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcos Posted April 6, 2004 Share Posted April 6, 2004 This is definitely borderline as far as arrangement goes. I love the way this has been mixed and I'm digging the beat, but this needs to go further in terms of arrangement. This could be a great one with a little more of a mix up.
