DragonAvenger Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hi! My name is Henry Mahy and I'd like to submit a remix! ReMixer name: PowerThrash Game arranged: Turok 2 Name of arrangement: 'Port of SHRED - Turok meets Metal' Original song title: Port of Adia P.S. I submitted a poor quality version of this a few years ago before I knew much about music production and recently I decided to remake it after purchasing decent recording software! Thanks, Henry ------------ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted February 9, 2013 Share Posted February 9, 2013 I remember this game. Isn't this the one where you have that gun that shoots a bug or something that burrows into the guy's skull then explodes? Great arrangement. Lots of energy, never gets boring, and your guitar chops are awesome. What's killing this mix is the mixing, particularly the guitars. There's way too much low-midrange mud. You need to bring up the presence in the guitars and trim down the lows. Play this mix back to back with a really good metal mix, like some Opeth or something, and it's easy to hear what you've got to tweak. As it is, it's just so muddy, but I would hate for a track this tight to not get on the site. NO (please resubmit with mix tweaking) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishy Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Not even 45 seconds in and Vig has hit the nail on the head. Really good effort, but the low end on those guitars is pretty muddy. You try turning the gain down on the rhythm guitars by 2 or 3 notches, and it would help clean things up a bit. Contrary to popular belief, less gain is sometimes more in metal. You could do with a little bit more highs end in general, as it sounds a bit flat in some regards. The lead guitars are also a bit buried from time to time. The drums could also use a little more humanisation. This isn't a 'this is good enough', more like 'with a bit more effort this could be awesome' type NO, so please do resubmit! NO, but resubmit!

Emunator Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 Jesse nailed it. There's a lot of low-end muddiness that needs to be EQ'd out. This'll sound awesome when you get the mixing figured out, but it's not quite there yet. Not much else to critique, your performances rock hard and the solos are AWESOME. Fix that mix. NO (resubmit!)
