Esperado Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 excited to post one of the first promising original mixes ive worked on. Its a branch off of the first track i ever legitimately started and sounds totally different not sure what genre this is but it feels housy to me. https://soundcloud.com/jesse-mitchell-3/pizzicato-wip-2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 Some nice sounds you are working with. Well, not that crash. Might not be a crash actually. Whatever has that crash-like sound around 0:37 is not quite there with the rest of the mix. So anyway that crash doesn't blend is the gist of what i think i'm trying to say. The middle reminds me of some moments in the Panzer Dragoon Saga soundtrack. It's a nice void but it could use some spacier sounding stuff. Do you have Absynth? It could also use a melody. Actually use that section as a chance to introduce a second melody, then use that second melody as a counter melody to your first one towards the end. voila, mix done. Good start!

Esperado Posted May 30, 2013 Author Share Posted May 30, 2013 i do have absynth, i might be the older version of it, but still absynth nontheless, ive only used it in that ff12 mix i made for a PRC a while back. Is it generally nice for spacy pad sounds? youre talking about the crash that hits numerous times around 0:37? hmmmm would it be better to change the sample, or use a synth instead? i can experiment with a few things. better read up on countermelodies i guess! Thanks for the listen Garpocalypse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garpocalypse Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I have some absynth collections that came with my budget version of Komplete Elements. They are only unalterable presets that play through Kore Player but many times I stick them in the background to make things feel bigger without them being too noticeable. Counter melodies are easier to do than some would have you think. I remember reading books on counterpoint when I was in college and getting almost nothing from them. If you are not used to looking at music vertically (note against note from a given moment in the piece) then just loop a small section and improvise on a midi keyboard until you get something that fits with what you have. good luck!
