windkirby Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I'm a big fan of the source! Overall very conservative. I really liked the beginning, but about halfway through I felt like it really needed some more stuff going on. The drums were also pretty robotic - the samples sounded real, but they seemed very dryly arranged - more energy and/or creativity would really help! When the main melody started up on the violin and/or horns, it also seemed pretty lacking in energy. You can either go for mysterious or thrilling, but right now it's somewhere in-between and it doesn't really work. So either make the melody less muddled in reverb and add harmony, or make it a little more haunting and in the background. But either way, the song really needs either more instruments or it needs to be compacted. (I'm in favor of the former.) I think it has a lot of potential - I like the ambience! - but it's missing gusto, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGH Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 I think this does a really good job of capturing the in-game emotional feel of going through the Sky Tower. Good job in that respect. I also think the flute and and strings together for the lead is great. My only suggestion is making the tempo a little bit slower. But it's only a suggestion. Keep it up XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algamest Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 Thanks for the comments guys, unfortunately, the whole time i was finishing the rest of the track lol so i will take these comments into consideration for V3, in the meantime here it is: http://www.remixsite.org/remixes/203-v2-Kylebean-After_Today_We_Part Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algamest Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 http://www.remixsite.org/remixes/203-v3-Kylebean-After_Today_We_Part This feels right to me, spent hours tweeking and i think its good to go, but i'm willing to take any comments for a final tune up, Version 4 will be the final product so we're almost there.... Added howling wind effects as a homage to the source, GuitahHeroe, i tried slowing it down, but it just didnt feel right, even from 120 bpm to 110 felt too slow, so i have decided to keep the tempo the same, but i did try it though . Upon listening i can only hear a few production issues when there's alot going on, i may just reduce the volume of certain intruments, but if anyone else can hear it let me know, and i'll sort it! Thanks people! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TGH Posted February 21, 2010 Share Posted February 21, 2010 Alright, IMO, this has a TON of potential. I really liked the flutes throughout. The only things I can critique are that the drums and the piano do get kinda repetitive. I'm not gonna suggest anything else, because as I exhibited in my last reply, I don't really have that great of an ear for knowing what should be changed without actually changing it to hear what it sounds like XD. . . I'm sorry about that. Anyway, great work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algamest Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 haha no i appreciate any feedback, well thank you i will certainly want to get rid of any repetitiveness, (and to be honest i did worry about that with the drums a little), like i said the next version will be my last so i'll sort this out, thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
