UltimateSonicFan Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Drown Warning:I wouldn't be overly upset it this were used in the Hydrocity remix. Just a little, though. Hmm, that could possibly work for the ending of the song. I'll have to talk to Gman and see what he thinks. Get rid of that background loop that keeps going up and down the scale. Its out of place in lots of areas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hobo Posted March 18, 2005 Share Posted March 18, 2005 Attention Everyone!I am feeling super super super sick right now. It's fucked up, everything is swirling around me, and I feel damn lightheaded. I'm going to try to sleep this off, so I wont be able to update that much today. Sorry about this. Damn, hope you get better soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ichitootah Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Soundclick is back up, anyone feel like listening to my WIP and making suggestions? www.soundclick.com/bands/6/ichitootahmusic.htm (Helium Stairway) or http://www.soundclick.us/fastk6/09/01/freemp3/ichitootah+heliumstairway.mp3 should work too.

k u n g f u c h i c k e n Posted March 19, 2005 Author Share Posted March 19, 2005 Update - I'm doing better, I still feel crapy, but I can manage now. Ichi, this is.. surprising. In a good way. My only complaint is that there is no groove yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hadyn Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Well, Ichi, i'm impressed I like what i'm hearing so far... my only complaint is that one of the drum sounds you've got sounds like mike speakers popping or crackling. It's that kind of higher-pitch 'pop' kinda sound that plays in the drums from 00:56 onwards. Remove that, and I'm happy ^^ As for ideas? Kick in some massive drums right where this ends, add a more defined lead (with more high frequencies so it stands out more) and some louder background pads/strings. You can have it play the same thing that it plays towards the end of what you've got so far - just make it sound fuller and louder - before transitioning into a different section. Perhaps it goes quieter again, but still retains the hi-fi sound with more frequency range than what you've currently got there. Yeah... what you've got sounds a little lo-fi and muddy because there's a lack of high-frequencies (something I know, because I used to do it all the time until sadorf taught me some nifty EQ tricks). But that's okay. The lo-fi sounds suits the mood and atmosphere that you've got so far. Just make sure that once it transisitions into a fuller sound, you boost up the higher frequencies on some of the instruments to balance out the lower ones. One cool trick is to split your drum track into three channels - boost up the low frequencies on the kicks, the mid frequencies on the snares, and the high frequencies on the hats. It really does make it sound that much fuller ^^ I'll give you an example incase you're wondering what the hell i'm on about This is me before I EQ'd my stuff right: http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/sadorfish.mp3 And this is me after Sadorf showed me tha light: http://66.221.70.133/hadyn/sadorfishweeee.mp3 EDIT: fixed links So yeah. You can see a pretty drastic improvement, and the only real major change was some equalising ^^ I hope some of that helps - if you need me to help out in any other way, just ask. I've got access to both FL and Reason (being at an audio college is teh roxor ), so if you want help with anything, just ask ^^ I really do love what you've got so far, and I'm dying to hear more! Hurry up! Oh, and sithlord - good to see you're making a fast recovery ~Hadyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hetcenus Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 What exactly does WIP mean? I kind of deduced it from other topics, but I'd like to be sure? If it is what I think it is, I'm only waiting for a mic here. PS: I haven't come for more than a week, I think, so I lost 15 pages or so. I still didn't read them... due to 9600 bps connection at 1:00am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoeTaKa Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 WIP is just for a rough ground of what you're doing with the song, where it's going, what it sounds like etc. Just so we know you aren't gonna fuck it up. I won't be posting a WIP, I'd rather just finish my song. I won't encourage the same if you aren't sure about your mix. Analoq and I are switching mixes, he will be doing Marble Garden now and I will be doing *sigh* Ice Cap. Which, actually, I'm excited about, I'd like to see if I can do anything with it other people really haven't. Alright, haven't listened to wip's yet but I will be on hand to help with your mix's.

hobo Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Okay. I need feedback on a possible collaborative submission between myself and APC.Song is here Direct comments, criticsm, and suggestions here There is some horrible clipping going on there... Your EQ work isn't so great - are you maybe using a sub or something to mix this? maybe cheap headphones? There's wayyy too much volume on the kick drum, and it's killing the mix. The other volumes and frequencies are a little dodgy too... Other than that, though, It's a pretty cool mix.. Fix the EQ stuff, and i'll give more feedback after hearing it properly ^^ Fixed the EQ. I think. http://upthorn.mspencer.net/temp/fordownloading/SkySanctuaryWIPEQfix.mp3 I love it! It's damn near perfect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Joker Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 Upthorn, your mix is great... though one thing strikes me as a bit odd. Your mix sounds a whole lot like a reworked "Dark Corners" by J.Cuts off of a FL demo song. So... hmm, I don't know, I'd start over or at least make some maojr tweaks to set it apart from said demo song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
