MojoHamster Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 EX1&2 are two of my favourite way under-remixed OSTs. So I'm attempting one myself. More than anything I'm concerned with some of my transitions (Chorus to Bridge). I've spent a lot of time on it recently so my ears are kinda saturated / brain fried so any ideas to take back to it next time would be gratefully received. Many thanks if you took the time to take a listen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj Mokram Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 The SF-EX serie definitely needs moar remixes. I like the genre and direction this is going into. It sounds a bit like the Ayako Saso's jazz arrange, but with a more direct and dynamic approach. That intro reminded me of a song from Order of Ecclesia, can't remember which one, but I dug the piano arpeggio. It's a really compelling work, I would just complain about the drums volume being a bit high and on the same velocity at all time. And this very issue makes the break from 1:43 to 1:55 nearly unbearable, because it focuses heavily on exposing those very drums. Plus, the overture transition for this particular break is a bit bland. Though the outro is much better. It can be really awesome if you put some more work into it, and maybe break from the source a bit more. Looking forward to hear the finished song. ps: try Tindeck or Mediafire to host your song next time. It'll make it easier for people.

MojoHamster Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for your comments Heh I actually thought Youtube might work easier but I guess some people prefer an offline copy. It's interesting you mentioning the drums, I have been trying some new humanising techniques like ghosting some of the snare hits. Some of the rolls are a bit flat. I think I obsessed with the drums a little too much and they ended up too high in the mix. Partly desperation to get a punchy sound as well. I really hug the source on what might be considered 'the chorus' (my music theory is a bit weak, I could blather on about Sonata, Exposition, Re-capitulation and such but..there are gaps..). I'm kinda obsessed with that part. I complete re-wrote bass for the verse at least (apart from following the tonics) and came up with a lead for it. I feel like, there's a brick wall with remixing and I definitely need to smash through it to make this decent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
