Rukunetsu Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Source: Untold Power(Soundcloud) Fire Emblem fans should recognize this one (This track holds a ton of memories for me), but I hope everyone enjoys. Tried one or two new things this go round, including playing around with the FL Slayer (as you'll hear). Quote
Watarimono Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Pfft, it's about time this site got a Fire Emblem Mix! Sorry, I can't really think of any complaints... Quote
Rukunetsu Posted June 28, 2011 Author Posted June 28, 2011 I'm glad you like Watari; When you think of any however do not hesitate to make 'em known. Quote
hewhoisiam Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Short for a finished product. The glitching halfway through seems out of place to me. It's a neat effect, just not here. This is very repetitive in a few other areas. I like what you have, but it needs more work to get it away from that MIDI sound. It's not a bad mix, but with the crit above, it's sounding very much like a direct midi copy with a few instrument changes. It needs some work in the arrangement. It's a very short source, so there's lots of room for stuff. But the source alone doesn't give much in the way of direction. The mix/master needs some work. reverb a few of the parts and it'll help. You can also remove some of those offending tones and things ---FROM SOUNDCLOUD--- And pardon the slight distortion on the track --- EQ can help that. Not a bad start though. Quote
Rukunetsu Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 *takes note* Understood Hew, and the critique is greatly appreciated. Indeed, as you said this was just a slightly modified sample with some additional instruments/melody placed on top - so suffice to say, I understand how it can become repetitive (nostalgia distorts my musical reasoning at times)among other things. I must say though, that it was never my intention to really alter the melody/create an elaborate composition though - it was to more or less add my little touch to a short but sweet sample. I've changed the status of this as well - as I just may come back to this mix someday. That said, I'll continue to work on my technique so that even simple mixes like this, will be more appealing/ varied and fun to listen to. Thanks again. Quote
