Doni Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 I've made a electro remix of the Chrono Trigger song "Corridors of time"... another one you say?! Well yes, many people have remixed this song... but this one is a bit of a different approach. The intro is very aural sounding... it doesn't sound like electro house at all. Then it transforms into a floor shaker. I really love the original and I wanted to make something that I could place into my DJ sets that calm ppl down and then rock their socks off. Sort of a transitional intro. Hopefully you guys like it. After I get a bit of feedback I'll submit this one I think.

Gario Posted October 18, 2009 Share Posted October 18, 2009 Quick note - this belongs in the 'Workshop: Remixes' forum. You'll get more attention there than here The aural sound here is quite brilliant, although I could do with less sidechaining in the melodies (actually, it could use less side chaining overall, in that section). Love those instrument combinations I'm not quite feeling it as much when you get it into the electro-house sections, personally - it just sounds too juxtaposed against the other part. It sounds interesting at the last third of the song, but the uber-sidechaining really detracts from all of the parts. You really need to take the sidechaining down quite a bit, overall. We all can't get enough Corridors of Time, though - don't let the fact that OCR has 1,000+ remixes of it detract from you . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doni Posted October 19, 2009 Author Share Posted October 19, 2009 Quick note - this belongs in the 'Workshop: Remixes' forum. You'll get more attention there than here Thanks for the tip I'm going to post it there as well I suppose The aural sound here is quite brilliant, although I could do with less sidechaining in the melodies (actually, it could use less side chaining overall, in that section). Love those instrument combinations I'm glad you like the combinations But tell me what you mean by side chaining... because sometimes people have different definitions of this term. For this section, I can say that I wanted a "full" sound, but I am sure I am tip-toeing on the edge of "full" and into "blaring" which I want to avoid for this kind of melodic section I'm not quite feeling it as much when you get it into the electro-house sections, personally - it just sounds too juxtaposed against the other part. It sounds interesting at the last third of the song, but the uber-sidechaining really detracts from all of the parts. You really need to take the sidechaining down quite a bit, overall. I was going for juxtaposition!! But I bet not everybody will feel it, for sure. I was really going for a hot pumpy sound in this part of the mix. If by side-chaining you mean it sounds to overblown, I will consider this, but I'm going for an electro kind of sound, which is usually sidechained out the butt. In places I am intentionally making the melody more "sparse" and turning it into more of a pad or layer... but please do tell me what you think and thanks very much for your feedback We all can't get enough Corridors of Time, though - don't let the fact that OCR has 1,000+ remixes of it detract from you . Isn't it a lovely progression? This was always my favorite and to this day it spins through my head often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
