djpretzel Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Email sub file The Guardian Legend - Fleepa's Paradise.mp3 Hello, my name is Richard J Suru. I am submitting a song from the game known as, "The Guardian Legend." The song is called Fleepa's Paradise. I remade this song from scratch. I used sonar cakewalk and reason. It is a very good remake from its original version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The wingless Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 TGL. YEszzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Before I get started, I'd like to quote something that I feel dances the line between cute and audacious: "It is a very good remake from its original version." Let me first, extole the virtues of why this claim is true. You have a very nice epic sound with the baseline (strings + drums) And a very interesting take on the theme And now, let us discuss why this mix is, shall we say, somewhat lacking. Firstly, it is quite repetitious. You have one large chunk of remix, and that chunk replays ad nauseum, sans variation. The main leads are too weak to hold up the rather bold structure of the song. Couple all these threads in a somewhat boring and predictable loom, and you've got a song that, while earnest in its intentions, isn't really going anywhere exciting. NO - remix for variety and excitement. Think of music as fine dining at True of the Four Seasons, not heatlamp'd Chicken Fries. Intricacy! Delicacy! Friccasse! -Balance out your leads. Make them as full as your bass and drums -remix nothing but TGL. I command it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Guardian Legend NSF - Track 21 Pretty vanilla orchestration, IMO. The lead is really flat and lacks any power. There's not really enough separation in the sounds either; too much reverb and sounds washing together. Repetitive, undeveloped, no ending, and only 1:47 long.

Sam Ascher-Weiss Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 It was funny how you broke the melody down into 3 bar phrases instead of 4 bar phrases. Simple dimple orchestration [Vanilla like Larry said] and very little expansion upon the source, other than the 3 bar phrasing thing. Fade out also was a weak choice! n0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrayLightning Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 This sounds more like a techno mix than an orchestral one. It's so repetitive. The orchestral motifs are very simple as well. The same instrumentation dots the entire mix without any instrumental change, compositional evolution or dynamic shifts. The snare line is ridiculously repetitive. At least change it once in a while with some rolls or rhythmic changes. Production wise, I think this needs more high end. It sounds a little "dull." Consider some light boosts in the 8, 10 and 16 Khz ranges. Some conservative boosts in those regions would help this mix a lot. Finally the entire concept is incomplete and unfulfilled considering its short length and repetition. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
