Liontamer Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 http://www.zophar.net/usf/MarioKart64_usf.rar - 28 "Victory Lap" Dunno why you said this was a mix of Rainbow Road in the submission letter, but oh well. Rearrangement was nearly non-existent, as this was structured exactly like the original. Basically an electronic genre conversion. The beats were basic and almost never changed up. The atmosphere was incredibly murky. Nice for a beginner, but this lack of creativity is everything we don't want. Get more interpretive, and hit the ReMixing forum to learn how to get your material to sound cleaner while going for a loud dance techno sound. Then get some feedback from the unwashed masses in the Works forum to see where else they feel you need to improve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrayLightning Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I don't know... It's really tough for most people to mix something of this nature where someone wants the kicks so present along with the fact that he used lots of delays and reverb, I can see why he fell into this "murky" trap that liontamer describes. Personally, I don't think it's a big deal, on headphones it sounds nice and atmospheric. I especially liked the bell synths and bell pads. I also liked the texture of this mix. The long and dense delays/reverb helped add a nice lush atmosphere to the mix. Anyway, for those good and ills, that part is a minor issue, given the lack of arrangement here. This basically needs more attention paid to arrangement, adding new material, your personal flavor and expansion. I didn't mind the basic drum pattern, but it would have been nice if this was aided by some more sophisticated synth design/automation and fx processing. Right now the whole thing comes off as rather vanilla. At this point it strikes me more of a very basic "remix" rather than a re-arrangement. Still, for all its problems, I enjoyed it - But it has more to do with the source material than the arrangement itself. Work on that main facet (arrangement issues) next time before submitting. Keep working at it. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
