Necrox Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Classical Chiphttps://soundcloud.com/ryanreilly/adventurestuffchip Interesting piece; I have never heard chip sounds used in a piano/world piece like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 2, 2013 Author Share Posted November 2, 2013 Interesting piece; I have never heard chip sounds used in a piano/world piece like this. I've always been interested in integrating chipsounds with more traditional instrumentation. Just trying to perfect the sense of balance between parts.

MusicianZG Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Classical Chiphttps://soundcloud.com/ryanreilly/adventurestuffchip Really really like this track. I feel it's a tad to long though. The first half is excellent but I think the 2nd half sort of trails off on some different ideas that don't benefit the rest of the song as much as they could. As for mixing I would bring up the Piano chords in the first 30 seconds a tad bit, the chords really bring out the melody and I think bringing up the piano in the mix would emphasize that. After 30 seconds it seems as if everything is a little more even, I can hear the piano better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orion Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Really really like this track. I feel it's a tad to long though.

I kind of agree with you there. The piece loses a bit of steam and i felt like i may have overextended the rhythm to make up for it and added some percussive choices that may not benefit the melody or development quite as much as I'd like. I like the way it sounds but I am not quite sure it's an effective way to make the piece work. As for mixing I would bring up the Piano chords in the first 30 seconds a tad bit, the chords really bring out the melody and I think bringing up the piano in the mix would emphasize that. After 30 seconds it seems as if everything is a little more even, I can hear the piano better. I actually would prefer to leave the piano chords back b/c it lends itself more readily to dynamic change to begin a piece with quieter dynamics and then provide a nice powerful moment where everything comes together late ron. When the 30 second period jumps in, it creates a far greater sense of power and really heightens the drama of the piece, which is precisely what I was intending to do . This is why I'll typically leave the intro of a piece a little sparser to start out with and build as I go. Thanks for your thoughts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
