dummy Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Another little Banjoo-Kazooie piece I made today while waiting for dropbox to sync so I could start work. It actually synced before I finished so I had to hurry the ending a little - apologies if it sounds a bit rushed but I had to get back to work. | SoundCloudAs always, any comments/crits/etc on the realism/mix/mastering are more than welcome. I use these remixes both to test the products I'm developing and to improve my orchestration so be as brutal as you want. A few things I noticed listening back is that the marimba is a little too close mic'd - should be further back in the room. I also wasn't so happy with the string runs that come in 1:14ish though this kind of writing is very hard to pull off with samples. Also, as I mentioned before, the ending is a little quick, but I just ran out of time. Just so I'm not a negative nancy, I'm really happy with how the woodwinds turned out. I used Berlin Woodwinds for the lead Bassoon/Clarinets and it sounds pretty good. I'm also mostly happy with the realism and mixing - there's some odd bits in there but hopefully not too noticable.

Blaz1222 Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 This is both phenomenal and inspiring! This really makes me wanna go back and play Banjo-Kazooie again! I would've loved to hear piccolo flutes play the melody around 1:03, too, but then again you've already got some playing around in the back, LOL. Great job!

dummy Posted September 18, 2012 Author Share Posted September 18, 2012 Thanks, glad you liked! Listening back now I do wish I'd added a little bit more high woodwinds to the foreground. Like you'd said, maybe a piccolo or alto flute around 1:00 in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byeka Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 That was nice, if anything I wish it could have been a little big longer. Felt like there was room to do even more with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k-wix Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Also, as I mentioned before, the ending is a little quick, but I just ran out of time. Other than this, it's fantastic stuff. Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
