halc Posted July 18, 2011 Share Posted July 18, 2011 damn, these games really have a lot of great source tunes. the piano chords in the background playing 8th notes are stiffly sequenced. edit the note velocities and timing of your notes within the chords to give it a little more realism. the lead piano is pretty robotic sounding too, but I think it works in the melodic context. some of the samples (particularly choir and strings in the middle section) seem like they'd be questionable on their own, but overall the soundscape is really gelling for me, I dig this track quite a bit. I like the arrangement. fairly conservative but a lot more energetic. there were some nice changes made to the melody, and the added arpeggios and stuff were really cool. my only real complaint is 2:26 being a direct repetition of the phrase before; introducing one last harmony or countermelody there would have really driven the climax home. overall, aside from your blocky piano, I think there's a lot to like here.

OceansAndrew Posted August 15, 2011 Author Share Posted August 15, 2011 Yeah, that piano sequencing is not doing you any favors, and the melody is really buried and pushed back. Once it gets doubled, it's a lot better, and I am definitely feeling the arrangement and expansion here. It remains to be seen if the sequencing and production is good enough for a pass, though; as it skirts the line pretty close. The added counter melody lines are really nice, and the clicky percussion during the B section was interesting and cool, and the transition back to the chorus was very nice. The ending was solid as well. It's close, and I do think the sequencing could be better, but based on the style and arrangement strengths, I feel the song as a whole got there. Yes (though cutting it close ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted August 22, 2011 Share Posted August 22, 2011 Going to agree with a lot of what Halc said already. The arrangement is solid: you've done a nice job bringing the original into this genre and soundscape, and it was a fun listen. There are some mechanical parts, something to look into for your next subs. Also, <3 PMD music. YES Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutritious Posted November 14, 2011 Share Posted November 14, 2011 I can't really add much to what's already been said. I like your upbeat take on a pretty somber source. Definitely agree the mechanical sequencing could've been improved. Specifically the piano and even moreso the guitarish chords at 1:04 were weak in this regard. Reverb felt a bit heavy on some of the elements, which is causing a bit of muddiness. If you cut back on it, you may be able to get a cleaner sound in general Beat is solid and there's some nice synthwork going around subltly around everything here. Overall, the melodies and chords stick pretty close to the source, however, there's a lot of additive elements complimenting it all. Yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
