Garpocalypse Posted August 23, 2011 Share Posted August 23, 2011 You have some very well developed mixing skills but alot of this is very repetitive. A melody, B melody, A melody, B melody and back and forth right to the end. I would say that wherever the drums drop out, try a little variation on one of melodies. Take it waaaay out of context and not just the rhythm of it but all of it, and see if you like it. Also, play around with some key changes a piece that flat lines harmonically gets pretty boring. Sonic 2 really is my favorite game of all time and that's why I will probably never touch this music myself. It seems that you captured the spirit of it well though so crack it open and see what you come up with. FINISH THIS! Also, PM me if you want to chat. You gotta tell me everything you know about music production. -gar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for mixing, ehh im not sure how I can help you. I did post some of my secrets around here that people disliked(and i did not care to explain lmao), so um : / Your best is to try geatslutz.com , some people there gave me tips there around late 06 07.

SonicThHedgog Posted September 6, 2011 Author Share Posted September 6, 2011 Update, Adding live drums soon! And!!!....thats its, i might pan some and make some things louder and take out some mids but thats it. http://soundcloud.com/aires/emerald-hill-no-drums Last just a tiny pointless dont read respond to my submission reply. 1.I check the mixs 4 time,its definatly mono capable (according to me and my corralation meter),unless you mean diffrent from "unbalanced". 2. Me and my peers find nothing wrong with the brass. although some people said my lead synth and brass is not loud enough, and that the brass should have some pan direction,which I will try. 3. not sure what you mean by background parts because nearly all the sounds have there own time of play, 4.not sure what you mean by "shift strangly", everyone on another fourm liked the drums but thought they sounded repetitve.

wildarms007 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Interesting so far. Can't wait to see what the drums turn this track into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Sounds good. My complaint is that the arrangement is sort of all over the place. Maybe that's intentional, but I still would've preferred something less insane lol. Overall, well played! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metaphist Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Quick reply, don't know what's already been said... The drum beat that comes in at :38 (and again at the end) is the fucking business. But, I don't think the dance kick that comes in fits in the first part. It fits the end because you go into some sparkly synths that match it, but I would leave it out in the first part. Horns, layer them a lot more, maybe some chorus, they sound a bit thin. Also some creshendo would sound really good there. If your still having trouble getting out of cover range, just start soloing over the main theme and see what comes out. You might find some motifs you can repeat throughout the track out of solo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting, I'll try to make some shred parts this. (though I really love covers : ( ) As for the horns, i'll try some parallel things to the Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WillRock Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 MOD REVIEW Ok so this arrangement is pretty creative, alot of ideas, and good ones, very hectic stuff. Atm this feels unfinished. Its only 2 minutes long and the last half a minute or so doesn't feel like its done to me, it sounds sparse compared to the rest of the track and makes me feel its just not done yet. Production sounds worse when it starts off than it actually is. It takes some getting used to because 1: those bells are very piercing in the highs, and 2: everything is at the same volume. There is no concept of loud and soft here, and ultimately, this mix sounds cluttered because its not mixed basically. You need to balance it out so people have something to focus on in each section, usually this is the melody. that means make the melodies nice and clear, and make it so that while you can hear everything else, don't have them fighting for the center of the mix. Last but not least, bring down the volume on this baby a tad. its too loud! So to recap: Too short, expand on your ideas! Polish your ending Fix the highs in bells (EQ in the 4-8kH rage) Sort out the mixing Bring down master volume Do these things and you should have a good shot at a posted mix imo. Good potential here!

Gotcha, swore I killed all the highs on the bells and mad it dull, maybe its the multiband boost I did on the high ends. I will lower the compression on the track to make the tracks more present (and I will drop the guitar vols). And I will drop the master to 1.0 Db or 0. But Where should I add more, im out of Ideas?
