munchi Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Thinking about submitting this one. Yea or nae? What do you guys think? Link: ZELDA'S DUBSTEP LULLABY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockos Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 The leads too dry in there. It's not enough dirty. And the lower sample could use of a little bit change in pattern. Some synth are used with template. You should play a little bit with them to make em less recognisable. OTherwise I loved the transition between the dungeon and the lullaby.

Monobrow Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Overall... I think it's a bit too messy and muddy. You need to EQ and get the lows to sound really phat, the highs to sound crisp, a lot less competition in the mid freq range, and for there to be less competition between instruments in general. Those arpeggiations are bugging me. And Rockos is right, the synths might be a little too "default sounding". I wouldn't recommend submitting. Also I can't tell if YouTube is messing w/ the quality somewhat, so I'd suggest linking to the mp3. Also I like the transition from lullaby to Zelda 1, it was unexpected, but it fits really well with the WUB WUB bass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkSim Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Yeah the transition was defo the best part. Youtube kills the sound quality though - at least I'm blaming youtube Really not feeling that trancey arp either. It feels like this song could use a little less clutter and a bit more phatness from fewer instruments. Maybe hit that transition sooner as well.

Chimpazilla Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Nice ideas! Needs to be much more raw sounding, that wub bass needs to be more evil! Needs some more melody variation, some key/chord changes, more interest. And yes I think youtube may be killing your sound quality...

ambient Posted December 18, 2011 Share Posted December 18, 2011 I have to agree with everyone else - some really cool ideas here, but the sound quality is really really poor. Can you try uploading it to tindeck or soundcloud? Cause right now it sounds like it is being played on an oldschool transistor AM radio, and not in a good way.

Ethan Rex Posted December 21, 2011 Share Posted December 21, 2011 WHY DOES EVERY ZELDA DUBSTEP MIX USE HEY LISTEN. STOP IT. ...sorry about that. Its pretty good arrangement-wise, but, like everyone here, I think the production on it is lacking. EQ's are your friend. So is soundcloud/tindeck/any MP3 hosting site Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munchi Posted December 22, 2011 Author Share Posted December 22, 2011 SUGGESTIONS ARE AWESOME! Thank you guys. I'll get to work on using the EQ to thin out the mid range a bit and phatten up the bass. TheRexAsaurous, I can take out the hey listen if you'd like. I personally like Navi tho I uploaded the first version of the song (which doesn't have "HEY LISTEN" in it and is less mastered) to soundcloud so here's that link: soundcloud version And I'm going to tweak this and hopefully have a updated version and then post that link. Thanks for the feedback guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
