ellywu2 Posted August 27, 2013 Posted August 27, 2013 (edited) Hello everyone, Just a little thing I'm working on. The mixing is all out of wack, lots of frequency clashes and it's almost 1AM here so my ears are shot. (I bet I will listen to this tomorrow and think it sounds BAD!) Anyway, enjoy! https://soundcloud.com/ellywu2/sor2-master Edited September 6, 2013 by ellywu2 Quote
DarkSim Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Damn, son! That's some nice electro you got going on there. Great source track as well. You're right about some of the frequencies clashing, especially in the intro, but that's easy enough to fix. Seems like the outro (2:43) would be a nicer break than the one you have at 1:42 (where it just stops). The transition at 1:11 is also a bit abrupt. I reckon you should re-jig the arrangement a little, and maybe add a 3rd and final drop with the main melody line over the top of it just to really finish the song off euphorically, and you've got a winner.

DiGi Valentine Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 I love EDM. I love Streets of Rage. EDM + SoR = all the love in the world! This is great, man! I'm really digging this tune. Quote
Nostalvania Posted August 28, 2013 Posted August 28, 2013 Sounds pretty good, very groovy electro (Head nodding foot stomping). The break at 1:41 sounds a bit like it would be the end of the tune IMO. Maybe you could fade-in the lead synth and the chords earlier? Nice work, keep it up bro! Quote
ellywu2 Posted August 28, 2013 Author Posted August 28, 2013 Cheers guys, Yeah, on re-listen I can see the faults in the structure - I'll have a fiddle when I'm next home and see what comes out in the wash. There are a few acoustic bass sounds in there I need to bring out as well - they are far too quiet for my liking. Quote
ellywu2 Posted September 1, 2013 Author Posted September 1, 2013 Hey everyone, a new week and a new update! I've changed the structure around a bit - though I feel the middle lags somewhat so I shall probably revisit. Enjoy! Quote
Garrett Williamson Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 glorious. synths and programming are just absolutely beautiful. in general I'm absolutely sick of this style, but this is really great remix. my only crit would be to have a slight bit more variation. Quote
ellywu2 Posted September 4, 2013 Author Posted September 4, 2013 Thanks G-Mixer. Welp, I've updated it - think I'm done now! Hope you enjoy the final version, the link is up in the main post and the song is now available for download if anyone wants it. Quote
Rozovian Posted October 2, 2013 Posted October 2, 2013 Super cool. No source link, no source comment. Then again, this would be half a mod review anyway, if even that. I was a bit concerned early on with the ringing chip sound, but thankfully it doesn't last long. great sound design. It could be a touch louder. It doesn't feel loud. You could probably let a few leads be a touch softer while getting the drums a little loud. It's not a big deal, except the 2:36 lead is louder than the rest of the track. It's weird how this is bot not very loud, but also has some compression issues at times (eg 2:36). Mixing needs fixing, the rest kicks ass. Quote
timaeus222 Posted October 3, 2013 Posted October 3, 2013 (edited) This isn't bad at all. I'm not the type of person who dislikes Electro House, though the production could be better. The bass at 0:32 and on is pretty good, but pretty static at the same time on those longer sustains. It would be much better if there was some sort of movement in the timbre, such as with a little band notch LFO or something else creative. Rozo is right in that this isn't that loud. This is louder. I also do hear the overcompression at 2:36, so I'm confirming that too. Edited October 3, 2013 by timaeus222 Quote
