djpretzel Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 LT Edit - Original decision: http://www.ocremix.org/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=53405 -- Lo OC Remix, This is my second time submitting this mix of the Killer Instinct theme. Hope it fares better. Awesome link to the mix: Vital info: Remixer name: Vitus Real Name: Mike Gormly Email: Mgormly@uvm.edu Remix info: Game Remixed: Killer Instinct Song Remixed: Main Theme Remix name: Chiller Instinct Comments aboot das mix: This version has a dulled kick drum, and the drum programming gets mixed up a little more. The string samples also got toyed with so they're more atmospheric and spooky. I dunno, opossums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harmony Posted July 12, 2005 Share Posted July 12, 2005 Whoa, the kick has certainly been toned down from the original version but now it feels absolutely lifeless. For the driving vibe that they are after they’ve got to have a certain punch. For this mix, that's not the real problem child though… What’s up with the droned notes? I swear some of them go for almost the entire mix and by 1:17 when the melody enters, the confusion that they create is absolutely unbearable. Without them I would probably say that this mix needs tons more variation and creative use of the source, as the KI melody is basically played verbatim over the muddled pads. Hit the ReMixing forum and ask around about cleaning up your sounds. You can keep a spooky atmosphere without the pad jumble. possums NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Ascher-Weiss Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 http://www.snesmusic.org/spcsets/ki.rsn - "Main Theme" (ki-01.spc) The vibrato sound is "spooky"! The slow attack reverbed stuff isn't spooky, but it is the pillow that smothers the rest of the piece. However if the piece hadn't been smothered it would have still been lobotomized thanks to the uninterpreted melody, repetitive drums and practically NO developement. Anyway.... I really like that vibrato sound. n0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted July 21, 2005 Share Posted July 21, 2005 there's nothing wrong with the pads. the slow attack works fine. what doesnt work is the weak attack on the lead instrument. the lead itself is quiet and weak. the instrument is boring. there is very little texture in most of the instruments. the pads (first minute of the track) is all this song has going for it. the atmosphere works, but aside from that there's no arrangement and most of the instruments are clunky.

Liontamer Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 No offense, but I dunno how this could be resubbed in this form and expected to pass. It's not much different than the first version. Frankly, this version sounded even more swamped than the previous, and, same as last time, the source material isn't interpreted much. Call this one a done deal please, and move onto the next project. I also crap on Gray for liking this one last time around. /grin NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
