Liontamer Posted December 21, 2004 Share Posted December 21, 2004 Pretty straightforward cover. Fairly enjoyable, but nothing new compared to other CV2 rock covers I've heard on the site. And, no, I'm not using the Minibosses as the measuring stick, but even "MiniMayhem" plays a little bit more with the theme by having some of the support instruments do some interesting embellishments. I've heard tracks with very abrupt transitions work, like Marsland Brotherhood's "Speedy Guitar" and virt's "Warrior King", but you need to at least have some sort of sound effect or something there that marks those changes. And (I hope I get past the language barrier here) please name your remix something more creative. Impressive cover, but the bar is higher than that. Bottom line, present something more interpretive and unique. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted December 23, 2004 Share Posted December 23, 2004 OCR is more about arrangement, not conservative covers. I would suggest that you expand the concepts of this mix. Change up the structure or form of the arrangement. But as this is more of a cover, I can't pass it. Pretty cool guitar work at some parts though. But NO.

Malcos Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Nice guitar stuffs, although some of the transitions are too blatant for a medley. This is just a guitar cover really, needs some more originality. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted December 24, 2004 Share Posted December 24, 2004 Yeah, this is really too much of a cover, with very little variation or reinterpretation involved. Please add some transitions, while you're at it. On the technical end, the guitar playing sounds good to me, but I think it could be clearer and brighter in terms of eqing and reverb. The drums are fairly weak too - not so much in arrangement, but in timbre. The kick and snare are all right, though they need some extra compression and loudness, but the hats/crash are weak. Definitely change those or at least try to bring them out more with some high end EQing. In short: fix up the drums more, add some solos/variation/improvisation, work on the structure. Keep at it.
