JH Sounds Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 This track started off as a straightforward arrangement of the Special Zone theme from Sonic the Hedgehog, but eventually morphed into a cover of analoq's "sonik special". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emunator Posted April 16, 2010 Share Posted April 16, 2010 The soundscape feels pretty static due to some weak-sounding instruments that, unfortunately, are present throughout most of the mix. The piano is the biggest offender - the writing is extremely basic which I suppose would be tolerable except that you're working with some average samples and robotic velocities. I'd suggest a mix of both giving the piano some more energy and deviating from the same chord pattern every once and a while and improvising a bit! The rest of the mix kinda suffers from the same issue - the arrangement hits one energy level and stays there for the whole mix with only some slight changes in drum patterns and melodies. The groove is fun but the song needs to be way more dynamic. You've got a nice foundation for a mix, now build off of it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 I like how you've taken things down a notch in tempo and space, swinging it more to be laid-back. The added bVI to V change on the IV chord is a nice embellishment. Filtered drums and tremolo effect are certainly analogous (: cheers.
