marble madness + weirdness

[sci]

WIP / very near finished / I have no idea what else to do here

first, source material used:

level 1

level 2

0:00 level 1

0:45 level 2

1:37 level 1

2:14 level 2

pretty simple, though I arranged things a bit...

the remix: http://sci.bronyradio.com/stuff/narble%20nadmess%20v3.wav.mp3

it's the first time I've done a remix in what I would call my own style.

for some reason this makes me even less confident about the final product (even though I quite like it)

I think I should extend the arps a bit before the tape-distortion outro kicks in at 2:24, but other than that I think I'm pretty much done.

I want your thoughts. what do you think?

I really like the arrangement of the 2 sources, and the instrumentation you've gone with. I think you're pushing the low end a bit too much when the crunchy, distorted beat comes in though. That's pretty much my only bit of advice, the rest of it sounds great!

And yeah, extend those arps some more before the outro.

[Byproduct]

I like the sound, and the beat is nicely punchy, but those sounds jumping widely from side to side are bothering me, esp. when listening with headphones. That effect could be made more subtle, I think.

I'm going to pull out my artistic licences and registration and ask you to sign here to verify that you have witnessed and understood the following statement:

That panning is hella rad and making it more subtle would totally detract from the tune.

especially that section at 1:04 like cmon

now when you say it like that it seems obvious

fun fact that's actually a gabber kick run through a soundgoodizer.

I'll dick around with the EQ til I'm seeing less red.

the other things you two said

thank you!

(I made the tape outro a lot cooler tho. messing with this broken tape recorder is fun!!)
