Liontamer Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 http://www.tzone.org/~llin/psf/packs2/FF7_psf.rar - 319 "Aerith's Theme" Now seriously, what in the hell does the first 2:07 have to do with anything? That's already an instant NO. Then you just play the original with a so-so keyboard, some weak strings, some pads, and warbly trance stuff underneath it. Production from 3:21-4:55 is really poor. There's that keyboard at 5:08 again. Oy. Whatever. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
analoq Posted December 26, 2004 Share Posted December 26, 2004 that 2 minute intro could work if this was of club length, but we're trying for more of a radio-mix mmhmm? you know, actually this remix displays a stronger understanding of the genre than most of the "trance" remixes we get... i think the talent is there, but the remixer just needs more experience. the cruddy percussion, the boomy low-end, the ending... these are execution-type things that need work. i'm not really going to comment on the arrangement. no Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 2, 2005 Share Posted January 2, 2005 Yeah.. intro is way too long. Even for the genre, the quality of the percussion could be WAY better - the samples sound like 64kbps MP3s. Synths are bread-and-butter, but not bad. The overall production is kinda muddy and dull, with the low and low-mid frequencies being pretty cluttered and the high frequencies mostly absent. There's some serious recording noise going on and a few actual skips in the track, as well as clipping in a few areas (like when the deep bassdrum hits). Once we get into the actual arrangement, production-wise everything falls apart. Bad EQing/compression stuff aside, there is so much reverb and delay that everything sounds mushy. Like analoq said, first thing I'd do here is focus on your production values. Go a little lighter on the reverb and delay, watch for clipping, equalize the different instruments more clearly, and upgrade your percussive samples. If you need help with any of this, the Remixing forum (such as the Sample Request thread and the VST Instruments thread) would be the place to go. Once you've fixed up the mixing issues, try reducing the length of the intro and being more creative with your interpretation of the original. The Aeris theme is good source material, so you should be able to go at least a little deeper with it. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danny B Posted January 3, 2005 Share Posted January 3, 2005 Not much to say that hasn't been covered here. I agree with analoq that sections of this demonstrate a solid knowledge of trance production. But the whole mass of this track is sloppy and cliched. Go for some innovation and a more in-depth attempt at acceptable sound quality. NO Some nice ideas though. -D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
