Spunodi Posted June 19, 2011 Share Posted June 19, 2011 Hi all, I've actually had this a while but I think it almost sounds good enough to submit (which would be awesome, been my dream to be on here for 10 years now.) My main issue is that I don't know where to go from here - If there are any tweaks or improvements please let me know; the result of your ears judgement is totally appreciated. Much love, Deanypants Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambinate Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 this is a great source to choose to remix - it's one of my favorites from this soundtrack. this is a pretty interesting remix in that i can definitely hear the use of source material, but it's got a different feel than the original (not in a bad way!). it sounds very good, though, and i think the kind of sad/spooky vibe of the original makes for a unique sounding song in the genre you've picked. the sound choices are coming together nicely, it's a well-balanced mix and it's got a really polished sound. nothing really stuck out to me as particularly problematic. i'd just keep writing and see what happens!

Chris ~ Amaterasu Posted June 20, 2011 Share Posted June 20, 2011 I really enjoy the intro, and felt it was good at setting up a good atmosphere. I thought the strings were panned a bit too much to the left. The only other main thing is that I thought the main melody could be a bit more interesting in terms of tone, but it does fit the atmosphere well I think. Mid way through the song, it'd be nice to see more of a swell from the strings as they hold those longer notes, which is how they would tend to play that section realistically - I think ti would also make that section a bit more expressive. The other thing that stuck out was the abrupt ending. But overall I, really enjoyed the mix as a whole =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingpiano Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 It really is quite beautiful, you've managed to make a scary, goose bump-inducing song into something I would chill out and bob my head to. The only complaint I have is that for "trance" it doesn't have much a build up and release that I was expecting as I was listening. Maybe I listen to too much trance music, and perhaps I've come to expect that TOO much. There was definitely a build up, but I didn't feel like there was a release...I agree it does feel quite abrupt at the end. You have solid production on this baby, I would value your opinion on my Downtempo Sperlunkin' DKC mix. I'm posting a new version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
