big giant circles Posted December 25, 2009 Share Posted December 25, 2009 It's worth noting, that even though he didn't mention it in the submission email, the remixer quite prominently featured a riff from the Brinstar green area in Super Metroid. Anyway, cutting right to the chase, I have essential two critical gripes for this song: -Too long. -Too repetitive. Trim it down to about 4 - 4 1/2 minutes. There's just not enough in here to keep the song interesting for 7 minutes. And for the repetition, maybe change up the drum pattern and add some fills, and try to not stick to default FL Studio-sounding drum hits the whole time. Not a bad start, but you gotta change it up and keep it concise! NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a bad start, but you gotta change it up and keep it concise! Hate to be glib, but I don't have much more to add. This definitely got boring quickly. That melody at 2:02 isn't as cool as you thought it was. Do like BGC said, trim the fat, and add more substance and significant variation to the arrangement. This wasn't a bad start, but develop it further. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Some decent interpretation here, but as the other judges so succinctly mentioned, it is very repetitive. It needs to build and recede, and feel like it is going somewhere. The sounds used seem generally default, and while it's not a total song-killer, in my opinion, the sounds used are static for the entire duration. Mix it up a bit to add interest! no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
