OceansAndrew Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Right off the bat, some timing issues that make this feel like it's getting a huge echo or something. The guitars aren't really matching the rest of the track, timing wise. The playing itself is good, but it's not synched with the rest of the track. It might be the overly reverbed soundscape, though. Everything is covered in a wash of reverb that really adds to the muddy sound. I think re-aligning your guitar takes with the rest of the track and reducing the reverb across the board is a good way to handle things, and from there, it'll be easier to heard what's going on in the arrangement.

DragonAvenger Posted October 10, 2011 Share Posted October 10, 2011 Andrew's got the gist of it. There's a ton of reverb here, which is making it pretty difficult to tell if things are in time, which I think they are, but it's just way hard to tell. Along with that, I don't think the backing parts are all quite fitting the original melody very well in spots, and thinks are sounding off as a result. I'm also thinking the overall arrangement might be too close to the source, but it's hard to really tell right now because the subtleties aren't able to come through. I'd say start with these fix-ups, then hit the WIP-forums to get some further advice before resubmitting. Hope to hear this again, though, the source is nice, and you've got a natural and fun take on it here. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
halc Posted October 28, 2011 Share Posted October 28, 2011 yeah, the weird timing and reverb are definitely big concerns. however I felt the soundscape in terms of instrumentation was pretty hollow and the lead presence was really underwhelming. some of the harmonic changes and additions weren't exactly pleasant sounding either. sorry to drop a lot of negatives on this; it's not intrinsically bad, but I have to agree that it has a ways to go. do consider hitting up the workshop forum for additional thoughts and advice.
