djpretzel Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 Cool arrangement - djp Contact Info: - Name: PhantomSnake - Real name: Tom Voros - Email address: phantomsnake@gmail.com - Userid: 28984 Toxic Sonic remix of Sonic Spinball - Toxic Caves ReMix: Original: Hey again, You may remember I submitted a Xenogears remix a few months ago called Experiment with Sea and Fire. It was rejected, though a couple of judges suggested a resub. Well, I had intended to fix that piece up, but instead I found myself moving on to new stuff. I'm back for my second attempt with a brand new remix. This one's from Sonic Spinball. I tried to go for jazz, and I think I succeeded to some extent. Enjoy, PhantomSnake
Liontamer Posted February 27, 2006 Posted February 27, 2006 http://www.zophar.net/gym/sonicspn_fixed.rar - "Toxic Caves" Pretty good jazzy-type stuff. The arrangement is pretty cool like djp mentioned, but some of the samples are fairly weak, or at least not used to their best. The drumming sounds fairly good, and the sequenced piano performance was definitely above average though it needs to sound more fluid. The overly synthetic sax sample was a weak link here. The sound of it has no body to it. Same with your bass. There's gotta be better free stuff available. If you can make the piano more fluid for some sections (e.g. :15-:30, where it sound really mechanical), and get the sax and bass sounding good, this would be in much better shape. Nice work so far. NO (rework/resubmit)
JJT Posted April 4, 2006 Posted April 4, 2006 pretty much echoing the sentiments of LT and djp... good arrangement, but the sequencing is all VERY mechanical. good piano sample and some decent voicings but the samples are all pretty fake and dry sounding. try messing with the velocities in the sequencing to make this sound more human, cuz it gets painfully robotic at parts. this could be really good. NO
Vig Posted April 10, 2006 Posted April 10, 2006 agree with Jon; the arrangement is pretty good, but the sequencing is mechanical. Fast and furious without any break. The bass player would get mighty tired. the problem is there's little to no dynamic variation. Keep trying. NO
