This time, I remixed the track "Keep it Groovin" from Streets of Rage (Sega Genesis 1991). I always considered streets of rage's sound track as one of the best of all time and this specific track is my favorite of the series. I've attempted a blend of light hip-hop, chillout and groovy music for this remix. ---------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_rHzHVbNS2w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 The beatboxing in the beginning is great. Very creative and well done. However, as soon as the synth brass comes in, I'm groaning. Way too much delay. You've got to scrap that instrument. The mix is alright but you probably want to bring up the bass. Other issues: the piano sounds really fake. It's unnaturally sequenced and too compressed. The writing is okay, but you've got a little too much unsupported melodic writing. Bringing up the bass would help a lot, but so would adding a pad instrument here and there. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 Agreeing with Jesse here. You've got a great start, but the mix feels pretty empty overall. I'd like to hear some other parts or some more supporting material to fill out the soundscape a bit more. The beatboxing is really cool though. I will agree on the brass, right now it's not only got a lot delay on it, and I'm not crazy about the sound overall. Aside from that, a lot of the parts feel too rigid in their playing. It would add a lot to get this more humanized. You're on the right track with this, just fix up the production, and think about filling up the soundscape.

OceansAndrew Posted April 21, 2010 Share Posted April 21, 2010 And a third vote that loves the ideas and beatboxing, but thinks it could be improved on the production end. It's all been touched on already; too much delay on the brass sample, not enough bass presence, more humanized performances (though the guitar sounded pretty good to me, actually), and some of the snare's high end needs to be toned down. The arrangement is pretty cool, and the general soundscape you are going for is definitely cool, it just needs to be polished and filled out a bit. no, please resubmit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
