Vig Posted July 20, 2004 Posted July 20, 2004 the problem with this mix has to do with the instrument sounds/choice. the bass is too low, too muddy. the lead synths are weak and rather dizzying. the drumloop doesnt change, and there's never anything but bass and lead. it needs lots more as far as harmony and texture. NO
DarkeSword Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Hooray for drumloops. Not much to this. The bass is, like Vig said, too low. If it had some more body to it, it'd sound nice, but it's so negligible at the moment. The synths are kind of thin and weak sounding, and they sound like you just layered as many effects onto them as you could to make them sound interesting. The song really repeats a lot without much variation too. You need to vary up your sounds more, and work on a more interesting arrangement. NO
Disco Dan Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 I like the beat. I will not lie. It turns me on. And on and on and on. Etc. Not so much a fan of the synth leads. They seem really runny and muddy. As has been said, not much in the harmony area. Pretty much bass and lead. And the repetition is actually getting to me. And I can take quite a bit of repetition. NO D
Liontamer Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 The intro here has some pretty plain breakbeats and that low bass-y synth sounds so gimp, as it's nearly snuffed out by the melody. The lead here is so washed out, and none of the sounds here are clean at all. The breakbeats and underlying percussion hardly vary up, and I also think it's a shame that these beats are so prominent over other elements in the song that you're clearly meant to be paying more attention to; you know, like the actual Shadowgate music. Back to the drawing board. NO
Protricity Posted July 21, 2004 Posted July 21, 2004 Drumloops. Really really bad lead synths. Also, poor everything. NO
