timaeus222 Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 (edited) I'm not kidding you when I'm saying it's a non-medley. Well, okay, it's a medley, but without medley-itis. If you have any critiques, feel free to say stuff. Word of warning: This song is chock full of nostalgia (and instruments). You may need to listen more than once, and rewind a few times to notice everything. Curse you, sine waves. So easy to slap you in. Oh yeah, and I didn't reference the sources. Source usage was from whatever came to mind. ReMix: MegaMan Battle Network 1,2,4,5,6 - 'Let's Bust Some Viruses!' (V1 of 3) V3 submitted to OCR on 6/8/2013.

WiFiSunset Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 This song is incredible!! It doesn't sound like a medley at all, but rather one coherent piece based on several other sources. This sounds like it could go to the judges forum, and pass right now. Great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gario Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 MOD REVIEW Ah, workin' on breaking my personal record of most source references in a single track, eh? I like that. You've got the right idea arrangement-wise, too - make something that sounds like a song in it's own right, and not something that is laying out sources like as if to say "Hey, I've got a bunch of sources in this!!". I like. The soundscape is sexy, and it really does work, arrangement-wise. I feel, though, that the high end gets pretty crowded in this track. I mean, it's full, but it just sounds like overall the high spectrum of the song has too many sounds crowding it (the snare + tons of background instruments). You may want to look into getting some low passes on a lot of the instruments + the snare. That's really my only gripe here, though - this song would have no issue for being a medley. I'd say clean up that high end and you'd be good to go on this one. Nice work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xarnax42 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Ah, workin' on breaking my personal record of most source references in a single track, eh? I like that. You've both got some work to do. As for the track, I don't really have any critique to add. Pretty chill, cohesive stuff. I can definitely dig it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted June 4, 2013 Author Share Posted June 4, 2013 (edited) That's funny, I've always thought my low end was bad. I'll take another look at the treble. I do have trouble with that sometimes. I'm also going to further inspect the bass+pad combo in the breakdown. I think the bass has too much midrange. Just curious, do you hear a very soft but weird crackling noise every time the kick hits starting at 0:16 and 0:32? I can confirm that it's definitely from the kick. EDIT: Never mind, I got it. For some reason, my headphones were doing that... I adjusted them a little and it's fine now. I think it's from the bass rumbling my earpads while a hair was on them. As for that 11-source track, lol, I remember that one. (oh, and for the record, Rozo, Gario randomly came. :V) EDIT: Adjusted treble and uploaded a new version (not in OP). Will submit later, probably Saturday. EDIT: Submitted to OCR on 6/8/2013 Edited June 11, 2013 by timaeus222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Necrox Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I agree on it sounding like one song of various sources instead of just being various sources if that makes sense. Good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes sense; basically you're saying it sounds cohesive. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DetectiveTuesday Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Good to hear a Battle Network mix, this is quite dope. You used the source compositions well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
