DarkAura Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I've been working on this for a few hours every night for the past week or so. I know it needs a lot of work, but I figured I could post it here and get some feedback on what I'm doing right, what I'm doing wrong, and whether or not it has potential.

ncocs Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 Hey. Right now, I can't listen to it with headphones--I'm having driver trouble, so expect an edit to this post sometime today. It's a good concept, but the first thing I thought when I heard this was "generic." I've used nearly the same synth lead over and over again from Kore Player 4. So maybe some effects and variation could help. There's a little bit too much noise in here too. I don't know if that is purposeful or accidental. Clarify? I like the little changes in the melody, but really, it sounds way to conservative for OCR. Try to add in something original in there. I like the use of the "gasping for air" sound effect, but I feel it was used a little bit too much. I think this mix has a WHOLE lot of potential, but it's far from reaching it. Keep at it. Oh, and it's too short. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAura Posted October 23, 2010 Author Share Posted October 23, 2010 There's a little bit too much noise in here too. I don't know if that is purposeful or accidental. Clarify? This is my fault. I'm still a beginner with the program I'm using, so I don't know much about mastering or adjusting noise/EQ levels. Once I get a handle on that (as well as extending the song and doing something about the other points you mentioned), I'll post another WIP link.

ncocs Posted October 23, 2010 Share Posted October 23, 2010 I can now use headphones! Ok, so the noise seems like it's attached to one of your sounds that is hard panned to the left. Which brings me to my next point... Is everything supposed to be so hard panned? It kinda hurt my head to hear so many different things on just one side, going back and forth. And the ending has a little click to it that I didn't notice before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkAura Posted October 24, 2010 Author Share Posted October 24, 2010 No, the panning wasn't supposed to be that hard at all. Something else I guess I need to look in to. I may have done that on accident or as an experiment and never readjusted it before saving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaytxStay Posted October 26, 2010 Share Posted October 26, 2010 I'm liking it, but the Slayer does major injustice when hitting with lower notes... New to FL? There's a section for that! ^__^ Keep on goin'! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nabeel Ansari Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I'm liking it, but the Slayer does major injustice when hitting with lower notes... Slayer's existence is injustice to electric guitars in general. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
