fxsnowy Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Hello I made a remix of the song Hot Head Bop, from Donkey Country 2, a while back.*I submitted it and it got rejected and the judges told me to make it better and resubmit it. Can you guys check out my remix and give me some advice on how to improve it? thanks Here is the youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AN2QK7znvoo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockos Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Awesome stuff going, But your just took the song and changed the instrumentation. You need to add your touch and modify some riff, and things like that. It's too much conservative. It's like taking a 8-bit song and bringing it to 16-bit. That's the only thing I see.

Rozovian Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Piano reverb is too loud and too small, some of the drum writing could use some better fills and transitions, the mixing is thick and could be a lot more clear, some sound design choices might not fit together as well as you might think... There's a few things you could work on, but I'd say the most important would be to work on your mixing. When you know how to mix stuff right (so it's both rich _and_ clear) your sound design should begin to fall into place. If you're aiming to get a remix posted on ocr, you should also work on your arrangement, both the overall writing and the interpretation side of things. You seem to be pulling this in your own direction, but I don't think it's far enough for ocr. You've got some cool ideas and sound design choices in here, it just gotta be more streamlined and mixed more clearly imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
