Liontamer Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 ReMixer Name: The Native Dialect Website: http://www.youtube.com/thenativedialect Name of game arranged: No More Heroes (Wii) Original Song: "Beam Katana Chronicles Remix Name: "Ebony Intuition (Shinobu's Theme)" Link to remix: This is an arrangement rather than a remix, but it does contain elements of the main theme in question. The inspiration for the track comes from Shinobu rather than Travis Touchdown. ---------------------------------------------------------- - "Beam Katana Chronicles"The argument could be made that the handling of the melody should have been more interpretive, but it mimicks the structure of the original, which is more about instrumental and textural changeup to provide the variety. That said, see what more you can do melodically with the theme, and squeeze some more juice out of it. The piano sequencing at :14 was very mechanical and unrealistic. The lead was also too quiet and overshadowed by the beats. The beeping-style lead at :54 had more of a sound that would sound OK rigidly sequenced, but was behind the beat and sounded out of sync as a result. The lead at 1:08 was too shrill, but the one at 1:22 sounded nice, with some good subtle delay effects. Bad hiccup in the timing at 1:35 when the beats dropped out. Work on better balancing the levels and EQing the parts to have their own space so nothing sounds either too soft or overpowering. And details like the timing being slightly off between parts, you have to iron that stuff out. You have a lot of good energy towards making these songs, along with a good YouTube following, but need to get better at the details that would take your skills to the next level.

Vig Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Love the drum and bass sounds. Unfortunately, the composition and arrangement structure are pretty thin. There's not a whole lot going on beyond the groove. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted July 6, 2010 Share Posted July 6, 2010 a track this short is really going to need to work overtime to develop enough, and unfortunately, this falls short. Larry had some great advice, specifically with sequencing smoothing, and I think you could easily double the length with some interpretive take on the melody for the second half.
