Magellanic Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hey. Welcome to the forums. This ain't bad for a first remix. I'm assuming that since you finished this about 2 years ago you won't be changing/refining it? If you'd like detailed feedback then I'd happily oblige but definitely post up something new. Get a mix started. There are certainly plenty of people around here who will happily lend an ear to help or just listen and appreciate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoboKa Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Well, it's a really good source choice! For a first mix, this isn't too shabby; I could see this winning in a PRC competition lol. Speaking of which...you should join the competitions that OCR holds - just in the community threads; should be a new People's Remix Contest round coming up in a day or two. Good chance to get some practice in . Also One-hour compos are every Thursday at 6 or 7 pm pacific time. Could someone confirm which for me? Anyhoo, good luck in your future endeavors Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crypto_magnum Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 This beats the snot out of the first remix I came to the forums with, that's for sure. This mix shows a ton of potential. A couple of things to work on, that stuck out to me: 1. Certain sections are a bit repetitive. For example, 2:10 - 3:10. It's cool that you broke it down and build it back up in this section, but a minute is a long time to stretch it out when there's nothing going on with the melody except for the same 4-bar phrase. This would be a great place to experiment with counter melodies and other personal touches. Try taking the melody up a third for a phrase or two, or try other notes in the scale using the same rhythm. 2. The mix is a bit muddy. Some more panning could really help the listener hear and appreciate each instrument separately. 3. I'm not sold on that choir sample... I know, good choirs are nearly impossible to find, especially for free. But it sticks out as much weaker than the rest of your samples, imo. Great song for a first post! I enjoyed listening to this a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
