Liontamer Posted February 27, 2006 Share Posted February 27, 2006 http://www.zophar.net/nsf/faxanadu.zip - Track 6 Damn, way too much hiss bro. Considering there's not much else to focus on besides the two guitars (and bass later), the whole thing should be produced well. Perhaps the ReMixing forum can help you learn to reduce that hiss in future recordings. The multitracking was pretty good, BTW. One note felt wonky at :43; perhaps a sour chord, I wouldn't know. Arrangement was ultra conservative. Instead of simply doing three iterations of the melody, personalize the arrangement more and throw in some of your own ideas to play around with the melody. Listen to the recent material here and compared with the source material to get an idea of what we're talking about. You gotta go beyond (and offer more than) a straightforward cover.

The Orichalcon Posted April 9, 2006 Share Posted April 9, 2006 Hiss on the track is annoying, but I can live with it. Since Larry has super-batman ears, I can only imagine how it must've affected him. Put a dampener on that and you're well on your way. The mix opened up nicely. I was waiting for the strings to come in and compliment it, but it never happened. This could build into a very nice mix easily. Strumming, strings, maybe even a light beat if you have the means. The problem is the mix falls down after 1:00. You add too much all at once, it's out of time for most of the rest of the mix, and the playing is quite sloppy, doesn't sound too good together. Some questionable note combinations. the section from about 1:25 was a nice break idea. So yeah, some nice idea's. Execution needs to be a lot better though. If you can, I'd love to hear this resubmitted once you've fixed it up some more. Give it a proper ending too. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 this is good stuff...i wish i could pass it. I hear the hiss, but it's not a dealbreaker. The way you introduce the countermelodies is also very well done. Unfortunately for the most part, the countermelodies are also straight out of the NSF. TO is flat out wrong about the performance; it is by no stretch of the imagination "quite sloppy," it is in fact, quite solid. The reason I'm giving this a NO is because the arrangement is straight out of the original, and there's no ending. develop the piece to have your own ideas and it's a yes. hope to hear more.
