Liontamer Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 http://www.zophar.net/nsf/megaman4.zip - Track 9 Man, just listening to the Megaman IV soundtrack, everything sounds so samey. Practically none of the tracks stuck out. This was a pretty weak effort, like a poor man's Disco Dan. Generic sounds, little to no attention on the production side with very a muffled atmosphere, and not much creativity beyond trance/electronica coverage on the arrangement side. The arrangement wasn't terrible, but is typical of uncreative MM techno I've heard in the past. Be more. Much more. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted May 22, 2005 Share Posted May 22, 2005 This should have gotten the form letter in our opinion. This is extremely basic in arrangement, composition and production. The synths sound like they came from the late 80s, and they don't sound at all that special in my opinion. There are some nice ideas here, but overall this needs a lot of work. Please use the WIP forum for future feedback before submitting. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 …not much creativity beyond trance/electronica coverage on the arrangement side. Exactly. In the past I’ve been jumped on for calling a mix “generic trance,” but this is not necessarily a bad thing in general. Good generic trance can be good but it’s going to be hard to pass anything like it because by definition it requires little creativity on the part of the mixer. That being said, this mix is pretty blah. Take 2:28-2:42 and 4:32-4:58 for example. The muffled bass and relatively weak kick alone are not interesting enough to justify 40 seconds of solo time. I would have also liked to hear some more interesting drumwork. What's here isn't bad but it feels very repetitive. The lead synths aren't too terrible and I think with more creative FX processing and the right supporting elements, they could be cool. Needs more spice: Creative EQ work on the drums/bass, more engaging percussion sequencing, more elements in sparse sections, some dynamic contrast (even given the genre), and a pinch of paprika couldn’t hurt. Keep working at it. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zykO Posted June 3, 2005 Share Posted June 3, 2005 This should have gotten the form letter in our opinion. yes, i'd say so. nothing is done here - ideas an OCR does not make. incidentally... NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
