OceansAndrew Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 It's a step in the right direction, but the reverb on what sounds like just about everything is really holding this back. Instead of being tight and punchy, it's like it's glazed over with a cloudy film. There may be more issues than that, but i seriously can't hear them through all the reverb. The playing and programming seems ok, but I can't be certain until the reverb is toned down and resubmited, please. No, please resubmit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Andrew's absolutely right on this. The reverb is pretty high, so it's hard to really make any of the production aspects out. In terms of arrangement, things seem to work pretty well together, and I wouldn't have necessarily guessed it was a medley without knowing the sources. But yeah, clean this up and get it back to us please! NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 Gonna echo what the other Js have said (ha ha, get it? because of the reverb? ha ha...ha...ha... .__. ). This mix is a giant haze of guitar sound. There's too much reverb; I can barely appreciate what you've done in the percussion because it is basically impossible to make out underneath the mush of the guitars. The arrangement isn't doing it for me either. The intensity hovers around the same level throughout the entire piece; there are no dynamics. Even the ending is a simple vamp and fade-out, which I generally don't have a problem with, but in this case it sounds like the piece on auto-pilot and you ran out of ideas. Needs a lot of work, IMO. Arrangement may not suffer from medly-itis, but it's still really boring. You've gotta balance your sounds more and make things more clear and defined. Scale back the reverb, balance your levels, and take a hard look at the structure of your piece. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonAvenger Posted March 13, 2012 Author Share Posted March 13, 2012 Listening again, Shariq does have a point on the intensity level of the mix being constant, and that sort of 'wall of sound' causing the arrangement to lose interest as time goes on. It would definitely benefit you to relook at your arrangement and find some ways to alter things and allow more diversity to show through. My vote still stands as is, as I think there's promise in your arrangement, good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
