Liontamer Posted April 16, 2013 Author Posted April 16, 2013 Really awkward lack of transition at 1:41. All it did was jarringly break the flow of the track. The faux-electric geetar sounded pretty poor, initially for the first section and definitely at the others times it was brought back (e.g. 3:00). That sample just sounds fake and stilted. The arrangement was cool, Kevvvvv, but texturally this felt a bit sparse, and the instruments lacked energy (which made the dynamics seem more plodding than you intended, and the instruments really lacked smooth articulations as well. Anyone have any geetar tips for something non-Slayer? Shreddage could be your best friend. Good potential here, but the lack of polish is apparent. It's not to imply it's horrible, but it's pretty far off the mark production-wise. NO (resubmit)
Vig Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 The transitions in general are pretty hard to follow. I find the arrangement changes a lot compositionally, but not sonically, which makes somewhat dizzying without really giving too much texture to keep interested in. Mixing wise, it's very washy. Lots of bass and pads, and the leads are all really thin. Creative arrangement, but needs some major production help. Keep at it. NO
Palpable Posted June 1, 2013 Posted June 1, 2013 Yeah, what Vig said about it being washy was dead on. Lots of reverb and focus on the lows - it robs the energy away. The difference between the fake lead guitar and the guitar used at 1:17 (which sounds real to me, or at least realistic) was staggering. Real or not, stop using the former, switch to the latter. This is a very creative arrangement and I hope you continue to work on your production skills so that they are more in line. NO (resubmit)
