Liontamer Posted October 21, 2004 Share Posted October 21, 2004 Not bad stuff. I'm certainly interested in what Disco Dan would have thought about this one. Fairly spacey-sounding, but this could have sounded a bit cleaner production-wise. The rearrangement wasn't too bad, but there could have been more substance there when tackling the actual source tune melody. The tempo was a little plodding at times, and there could have been more substance with the drums; nothing crazy that would have disturbed the flow here, per se, but there could have been something more creative done there to vary things up. 3:00-3:06 felt like there was going to be some cool "one mo time fo da bass" transisition, but nope. At 3:08, you retread into the same source material coverage with only a little variation around the 3:45 mark before heading into the close with another minute left. If this wasn't going to tread any new ground there, it should have been trimmed down, as it gets repetitive while not really maintaining interest. Felt bad for those strings only being used at the very beginning and the very end. Just check out the observations I had and make your own refinements based on those in case you want to resubmit. Good foundations are in place, Jay, but there need to be some more ideas/developments present in a mix that's 4:47 long. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protricity Posted October 27, 2004 Share Posted October 27, 2004 So, verbatim with the original. Please no more note for note submissions (Track 4). NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted October 30, 2004 Share Posted October 30, 2004 3:00-3:06 felt like there was going to be some cool "one mo time fo da bass" transisition, but nope. Kind sir, you mock the dead Assuming this is a rehash of the original (never got very far in the Master of the Blasters video game), I'm going to give boiler-plate Wingless speech #563. Verbatim mixes ain't going to cut it in 4th Era of Overclocked. Although this mix is clean and certainly pleasant to listen to... in the end, it's simply an "updated" version of the original. It is the bare minumum you could do, and I going to take it on good faith that you can do/add so much more. Make the song yours. Claim it. SIEZE IT! TAME THE VAGINA AND MASTER THE COCK! Ah... but Magnolia notwithstanding, for the sizeable length of this song, you need to incorpate more (original) material that will captivate the audience. If the people we're performing for collectively sigh "been there, done that"... then ultimately, we have failed in some respect as artists. Resubmit, and add some killer junk. No and see about taming the vagina too. Why would Cruise lie to me? What would he have to gain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted October 31, 2004 Share Posted October 31, 2004 Really enjoyed this one. The pacing didn't bother me. Issues are pretty much covered by the other judges. Needs more arrangement, and some change ups as far as repetitivity. Try changing the tempo, rhythm, instrumentation throughout at least. Something to break up the monotony. Also less reverb for this kind of style is necessary in my opinion. Use short reverb decays or short delays. Keep at it, this is promising, but not quite there yet.
