Liontamer Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 http://www.zophar.net/gym/SK+SONIC3.RAR - 20 "Sandopolis Zone 1" Friggin' 256kbps, like that's gonna hook it up. First off... Submission Instructions & Standards]Bitrate should be as low as possible to achieve the desired sound quality, within reason. We recommend and use the free MP3 encoder LAME. If it's a really short song, feel free to bump up the bitrate a bit, but do not exceed 192Kbps . . . if it's a realllly long song, and won't fit under 6MB, please consider cutting a shorter, alternate version. It's a bandwidth thang ^^ Aight, now the actual track. OY, that lead at :13 is just...nah. So flat and odd-sounding; terrible groove established here. Some more absolutely ugh synths come in at :54 and barely add anything to the texture. It's all gristly synths and no beef. More additions at 1:21 don't help anything. Nothing even sounds the least bit melodic here, what the fuck? Ok, FINALLY we get something I can vaguely recognize at 1:47 (and I'm probably stretching that connection in-and-of-itself), but we're already halfway through the track. Goes right back to the original groove at 2:14. Bleh. I dumple on this in every way. This doesn't even sound like fucking Sandopolis. :'-( Wish I had something more constructive to say, but this was just hitting me in all the wrong ways. Wish I could have dropped the form letter on this. OH NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJT Posted December 9, 2005 Share Posted December 9, 2005 This isn't recognizable as Sandopolis, has no variation and repeats the same melodic idea 74 times. NO OVERRIDE If anyone has a problem with this, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liontamer Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Nah, this is terrible. The fact that it was named "Sand (Original Mix)" likely meant this wasn't an arrangement. And if it WAS intended as a Sandopolis arrangement, that only makes this track look worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
