Chimpazilla Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hello fellow remixers! This is a remix of "Plack Beach, Act II" from Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story. A happy, bouncy little tune made just a bit darker and more mysterious. http://soundcloud.com/chimpazilla/dark-beach-40 Here is the source: Special thanks to Anterroir for helping me learn how to arrange and mix. You are a good friend indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gario Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 I just got through this game, so what better time to give this a proper review. Let's give this a whirl... The sound quality is pretty good if this is your first time mixing and arranging music - your friend Anterrior must be a pretty good teacher. The actual mixing is a bit random, though. The purpose of mixing is to place the important elements in the front while the textures and such lay further in the background. The feeling I get from this is that some of the important elements are being thrown behind the textures a bit too often. The melody is presented well at 1:03, so you should probably try to get the other melodic elements to match those relative levels more consistently. The actual arrangement sounds pretty close to the original, save for some of the neat effects you placed throughout it. The minor harmonies you mesh with the original melody, though, don't mesh well. Either be prepared to adjust the melody so it matches the minor harmony you sometimes have in place or have the harmony match the key that the melody is in. The clash is jarring sometimes. Glad to see that Bowser's Inside Story is getting some love in here. Keep at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimpazilla Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 Thank you very much Gario! I will see about tweaking some of my harmonies and levels. Sorry about the jarring... I appreciate the review! Oh... this isn't my first remix, but I am pretty new to this (4 months). This is definitely my best remix so far, and I'm working very hard to improve every day, learning all the tricks and skills. Anterroir gave me lots of good feedback and advice, especially in the area of eq. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anterroir Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 ^ she learns fast but I can't help anymore at that stage as I'm too biased by listening to all the improvements she already made. So give the lady some serious feedback guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
