PirateCrab Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 HALLOHALLOHALLO. So recently, I've taken upon some pokémon tunes as a challenge to metalize. I feel there is a lot of potential still to work upon here, including synths, strings, possibly some piano, but for now it's definitely sounding sweet. I am always open to feedback so feel free to throw any criticism you have at me.

Argle Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow, I really like this. Playing is really tight. Production sounds hot. Only criticism I can make is the snare occasionally has a machine gun sound. I think you have a winner here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Kirby Von Pokeirmahn Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Wow man this mix is killer, I love pokemon and the soundtrack is great. Really good job, the only slight complaint I have is that I feel the lead part right after the pikachu sound effect is getting drowned out a bit and could use some gain, besides that excellent work!

PirateCrab Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Thanks guys. I genuinely expected more criticism but SWEET! Much appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 What's to criticize? You clearly know what you're doing with teh metalz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateCrab Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I'd like to think I do haha, I spend so long on my mixes that I get ear fatigue easily, so it's nice to have fresh ears to dwell upon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 I agree, the lead that starts after the pikachu SFX is getting drowned out. Same as everywhere else, so just lower the rhythm guitar mix level about 0.5-1dB. Also add a breakdown section. Metal like that for 3 minutes is a bit crazy IMO. You need to have a section where you tone it down, so us non-metal lovers can, I dunno, live with our faces unmelted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 What did you use for the guitars, if you don't mind me asking. Amp sims and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PirateCrab Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 Haha thanks a lot Tim I appreciate the feedback. By breakdown section, do you mean a small chunk of the song should have cleans for 20 seconds or so, like a rest period? If so I'll keep that in mind for my next song, after doing more work on it I've become sick of the damn project and I want to start a gunstar heroes remix! Argle, all my guitar tones are made via a pod hd500. I then process the tone in my daw with post eq, reverb and such to help it blend with the rest of the track.

Basically a section where the energy is brought down, less heavy, and, usually, more interesting melodic content (since there's probably less drum action), though not necessarily more complicated melodic content either.
