I wanted to recreate the Rock sounding Boss theme with a minamilistic electronica melody. I then thought the backing strings would go well as a backing for the Sephiroth theme and so I combined them both. _________________________________________________________________ It's fast, it's easy and it's free.

analoq Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 bah, noobish sounding. he did manage to segue from the boss theme to the sephiroth theme in an appealing manner, though. the percussion in each section is alright -- decent sequencing there. now just try and do more with the material... no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Israfel Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 -rather lopsided form, unfortunately. A 3 minute piece with a one minute intro is simply going to feel a bit incomplete. needs more development to offset the length of the opening -a tad simplistic throughout. And the sample quality is somewhat cheesy. A decently enjoyable mix, but not quite passable. Perhaps you could work on adding more to the game theme- most of the additions were rhythmic, maybe you could try a few melodic or harmonic variations.

danny B Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Firstly, what bothers me the most about this mix is that a LOT of the harmonies and melodies don't match. Mostly because a vast majority of the harmony is a droning synth. The percussion is the highlight of the mix, and that's too bad because the drums are really ho-hum at best. It's got a very "clicked-into FL in 10 minutes" feel to it. Two basic types of drumloops can't carry a song of this length. They don't even seem to make any attempt and controlling releases or dynamics. Any more reasons for rejection see above posts. NO -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted November 9, 2004 Share Posted November 9, 2004 Fairly weak percussion and ambiance intro up until 1:01. The synth lead lacks depth, and there's no real clarity in the presentation here. The synth melody plodded along until 1:45 and then went back to the ambiance before some really poor vox & bells came in at 2:01. At least the drums coming in at 2:26 had a little meat to them, but all of the sounds are thin & weak in their delivery. 2:27 until the end just held to the same patterns throughout. Very underwhelming effort overall, I'm afraid. No meaningful variation or dynamics to speak of most of the way. Just learn whatever you can to bring some energy and depth to your sounds, and don't get so skimpy with the rearrangement ideas as this was pretty minimal on those grounds.
