DragonAvenger Posted June 27, 2011 Share Posted June 27, 2011 Hello again Your ReMixer name: Chiwalker Your real name: Luke Barden Your email address: lukebarden@gmail.com Your website: www.facebook.com/lukebarden Your userid (number, not name) on our forums, found by viewing your forum profile: 23642 Name of game(s) arranged: Super Mario 64 Name of arrangement: Unagi's Underwater Cave Name of individual song(s) arranged: Dire Dire Docks/Jolly Roger Bay and a little of Koopa's Road Your own comments about the mix, for example the inspiration behind it, how it was made, etc. : Remember Unagi the eel from Jolly Roger Bay? After initially coming out of the sunken ship, he reappears with his head sticking out of a little-seaweedy-closed off area ( http://www.mariowiki.com/images/9/94/Unagi64Face.jpg ). Just like trying to get in the princess painting outside the castle, I tried to get in this little tunnel behind Unagi, hoping it would lead to some secret cave area. Unfortunately it didn't lead to a secret area, so I was compelled to compose this remix to satisfy my imagination. It is quite a harsh take on a lovely theme, but my obsession with trance (and a little of that thing called dubstep) was what I ended up with. Imagine what Unagi would have been hiding in his secret cave back there, and maybe this production will make more sense. Hope you enjoy!

halc Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 nice arrangement ideas here. the beginning is pretty cool, though the piano melodies feel a little too dark and out of place imo. I think they would sound better if you took it up an octave. at 1:11 the soundscape takes a turn for the sparse and aside from the build up to 2:09, it never really fills up again until the ending. on that note, the wobble bass was dominating the soundscape a bit too much there, you can barely hear anything else underneath it. overall, a cool arrangement, but the mixing needs work; I'd recommend hitting up the workshop forum if you haven't for additional tips, and keep at it.

Vig Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 The piano is kind of bugging me. It's really noodly, but it's sequenced mechanically and doesn't sound like an organic improvisation. There's really no need for the piano to be doing that. Aside from that, I'd say the pads are way too bright at times. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Palpable Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 The piano bugged me too, in spite of good intentions. I wouldn't say the writing was too noodly, but it was too even and mechanical. The synths completely overpowered the piano when they came back. And the sizzle on those synths was pretty ridiculous, you have to tone down that area some. The wobble bass was way too big as well. I like some of the ideas here, and with some more fine-tuning, this could be a very polished arrangement. NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
