pixelwave Posted May 14, 2011 Share Posted May 14, 2011 Game: Robot Arena (iPad/iPhone) Song: Robot Arena Main Theme Composer: Bravado Waffle Studios Source Remix Hello, everyone! This track is almost done, I think. I am thinking of adding some strings or voices at 2:16, just to fill it up a bit more. Dunno yet. Anyhoo, feedback, criticism, comments, ideas... Those are all welcome. :] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vidilian Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 At 2:15 the drum line is hard to hear over the bid synth that comes in. You should make space for the drums by cutting frequencies in the synth that are interfering with what the kick and snare are doing. Also, theres a technique called compressor side chaining thats good for this type of music. Don't much about it personally but you should look into it because it will help to keep the beat clear in the mix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean sidechain the synth lead with the beat? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, so the lead is compressed everytime the beat comes in. I'm assuming that should make things sound better but as I said, I don't know much about it .

I'll play around with it, see if I can come up with anything interesting or, er, better-sounding! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
