FaytxStay Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 It's been a year! How is everyone! Now, now, I didn't get rejected, but I felt like I still had a LOT of work to do before my first song was submitted, and I'd like to know what you all think ( And what finishing touches I could use. ) I included new drums, instruments and even gave the chorus a little hook as well as throwing a small reference in there! I also started from scratch with the EQ'ing! I still feel like there was more I could add, so please lemme know what I can do to improve! This is the new! And this is the old!

Rozovian Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Gave it a quick listen, sounds pretty good. Repetition might be a problem, tho mostly because it's a 6 minute track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaytxStay Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks for the positive review, Rozo! Also, I forgot to fade out the last bit so it was 5:30 instead of 6:00+. Did you find any part that you felt was boring/unneeded? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jordanrooben Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Well, this is pretty awesome! Reminds me of Kamelot, particularly Ghost Opera. The choir, and orchestra elements are super-sweet. It's a bit on the repetitive side, but in my opinion, the added soloing, and dynamics make it plenty interesting to listen to. I can't say anything about the mixing/mastering because I only have access to low-quality speakers right now. I love it arrangement wise though. Do I hear something from Castlevania (bloody tears?) near the beginning of the last quarter, and right after the intro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaytxStay Posted July 20, 2012 Author Share Posted July 20, 2012 Ahhh, I see! I'll see if I can shorten it, but then again, I have the chorus hit twice! Also, I have aspergers, though I'm 22, now. XD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ad.mixx Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 This sounds awesome. That little backwards whip that comes in at places like :53 with the rev cymbal is weird, but it sounds like some kind of reference to the game or something. Haven't played it in a while so am probably wrong on that. Nice work! : D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaytxStay Posted July 26, 2012 Author Share Posted July 26, 2012 Why you are correct! I want this to be perfect, so I'm tweaking here and there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ambient Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 Big dawg, can we please keep with the guidelines and post a link to the source tune too, to facilitate easier mod reviews? Btw, do I hear a bit of that FFX rock action in there? I definitely do! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Dan Posted July 27, 2012 Share Posted July 27, 2012 It's awesome! It's a complete song! I have noticed your signature on the song, and it is a great thing! My critiques are the same of everybody: it's very long. Sounds endless.. But a very good job! Congratz! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozovian Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 No source link, no source comment. Bells are too shrill. Guitar could use a little more bite (somewhere in the highs, just don't add too much). Snare seems like it could use a little more mids/punch, not sure exactly what frequency but one of its lower harmonics or the fundamental. Again, not too much. String staccatos seem weak, maybe adding some an octave down would help. You're overusing that laugh effect. Mostly nitpicks. Length might be a problem, and I have no idea about the source usage, but aside from that it seems like an ocr-level track. Cool track, nice work.

Emunator Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Haha, I thought I remembered voting on this track last year? *checks* Yeah, this track already passed the panel back in 2011. You should probably get in touch with me when you're totally finished with revisions so we can sort this out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
