GSO Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 here's version 1. the drums need work, so if anyone wants to help me out w/ drum programing PM me and I'll get back to you asap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nonamer Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Um...How do I say this. The entire arrangement is very messy. A lot of the sounds and a few instruments need some work or have to go...period. Also the drums are not in sync with the melody at all. Anyone else want to back me up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Yeah, the melody and drum track don't seem to be at the same tempo at all. Other sounds are very sporadic and don't really seem to make much sense in the context of the song. As far as drum programming goes, most music making software should allow you to sequence drums in beats so that they're the proper tempo for the song, but I don't know what you're using or why the melody and drums are so out of sync to begin with so I don't think I can be of much help.

Garpocalypse Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 I don't mean to be competitive or anything, as I'm also finishing up a Matoya interpretation, but I was gnashing my teeth at this one. In fact, I'm pretty sure that by the end of the piece the left side of jaw now sits higher than my right. I think it started off interesting enough, i'm all for some tension in seemingly untense music but it needs to find a groove somewhere to get some relief for the listener. The vibe was unique. As it is I kind of got that feeling of walking through an arcade (remember those?) and listening to the background music and sound fx from several cabinets at once. Hope I'm not offending you, just what I heard. Might be a unique enough idea to try to run with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 What I think is that the melody itself doesn't have a consistent tempo. If you can get a drum beat composer program (or a program that can do that and more, like FL Studio), then you can more easily have a melody with a consistent tempo because you can follow the consistent drums.

PROTO·DOME Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 How did you manage this? Writing a drum beat out of time with the melody but keeping within it's own time is actually stupidly hard to do accidentally. Yeah, this is pretty bad. (No offense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillRock Posted April 8, 2011 Share Posted April 8, 2011 Yeah, the drums (very sparse ones at that) and melody are out of time with each other and they are pretty much the only things in the mix save a few random nes sound fx placements that sound like they come from the megaman games.... yeah I'm afraid I can't dig this one anyway I look at it, sorry man. I will say nice source choice tho Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
