djpretzel Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I don't know what my "remixer" name is..... maybe..... Aardvark. The song is "remixed" from the castlevania series, no specific game though. This is not the official final version of the song, there are still many rough spots in it. I just wanted to know if this fit your definition. Thanks! _______________________________ Do you Yahoo!?

Protricity Posted October 27, 2004 Posted October 27, 2004 So, first problem is that this song doesn't vary from the originals much. Second problem, there is no drum progression at all. Just boomtish. Sections like 1:30-2:00 are very poorly done. No definition of key, weak leads, crappy samples. There are a lot of odd phaser effects. Overall, too amateur. NO
Liontamer Posted October 30, 2004 Posted October 30, 2004 Indeed, this was just a poorly done cover. The bass coming in at :08 is flat-out terrible, and doesn't anything to this. The piano could have used more meat on it. Rinse & repeat at :45. Um...1:22, what the hell? Sonically, there's no depth to this at all. Decent enough ideas at making a mix that doesn't stay in one place for too long, but jeez. The chorus of the third track being mixed here (2:45) was probably the best part of the track if I had to name one. Anyway, like Ari said, everything is poorly thrown together. Bleh all over. NO
GrayLightning Posted October 31, 2004 Posted October 31, 2004 Shallow composition throughout. This is also very very muddy. Your bass and kick drums are making this very dark and cloudy throughout. This needs a lot of fixing compositionally, attention paid in the treble areas to brighten the mix up a little. Working with EQ or multiband compression at this point could work as well, but I think this needs to go back to the composition mixing stage. I also felt the transitions were lacking. You just jumped around to different pieces as if throwing caution to the wind. Needs more composition, arrangement work. NO
analoq Posted November 4, 2004 Posted November 4, 2004 yes, sorry but this remix can be simplified into the following expression: (original + synthPresets) / boomTschh ok, not exactly but you get the idea. the mixing needs work too, like gray was mentioning this mix is lacking clarity in the low end. it's muddy and unpleasant. no
