AMT Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 NEW: OLD: http://tindeck.com/listen/ymeu http://tindeck.com/listen/cgpz http://tindeck.com/listen/fwkr So this is my funky / whatever take on Hot Head Bop from DKC2. There's a lot of the source I haven't incorporated yet that I plan on, but this should give an idea of where I'm going with it. Tell me what you think, thanks for listening! EDIT: Updated, added a lot more of the source. Check it, yo! EDIT 2: Took all of the suggestions into account, the dynamics of the song flow way better I think and the mixing should be better. Take a listen! EDIT 3: Revamped the climax and mastering. Rawk! EDIT 4: Pulled it back so it wasn't quite as squashed. I think this is it; any last comments before I submit?

Soul Splint Posted March 11, 2010 Share Posted March 11, 2010 The opening is pure porno:grin: I think it's got a nice basement coffee shop vibe, if that makes any sense. The only thing I personally wanted was a little more stress on the guitar, but that's just preference. Nice work so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halc Posted March 12, 2010 Share Posted March 12, 2010 the guitars have a bit of a distant or dry sound to them, and stylistically it works, but i would have preferred a fuller tone at times. the instrumentation is a little bare and doesn't evolve much over the course of the track. it never becomes repetitive, but it does begin to drag on a little in the second half. love the tone of the drums, but they could benefit from some more fills and variations. otherwise, i am enjoying this quite a bit. the arrangement is funky and you've adapted the source quite well to the style with good variations. nice work, hope this helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halc Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 i've gotten pretty hooked on this and i think you've nailed the style. reminds me of red hot chili peppers (quite appropriate given the source ) 2:43-3:02 i think the melody could be louder, and maybe some louder backing chords from 2:43-3:21 to give it a fuller, more climactic feel. the drums at 3:12 were awesome for the first measure, but repeating that pattern there felt a bit mechanical; maybe try varying each measure up or doing a 4-bar drum break there instead of repeating the same pattern. sounding great. looking forward to seeing this finished.

AMT Posted March 13, 2010 Author Share Posted March 13, 2010 Thanks a ton for your input, halc! I think I'm almost done with it now based on your critiques. I totally revamped that climax and I love how it came out. How is this sounding? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
