SuperMareyuz Posted October 8, 2013 Share Posted October 8, 2013 Hello Ive been an inactive and unregistered user until now, and though it was about time to try share some of my ideas around! Im far from complete, but Im at the point were I usually get discouraged for something, and I end up starting over on something new. What Im currently working on is a medley of pretty much all my favorite zelda songs. Before I go more into detail of what and why, here is what I have so far! (The genre is a bit different than what is mostly around here, but I hope a few of you are into this stuff!): https://soundcloud.com/supermareyuz/zeldamedley The idea behind this whole thing is the beat in the very beginning. It is a sequence I though was cool, and I was not sure of what song to use it on.. So I decided to make a full medley of the Zelda game series that I have played. You can probably hear that the song is not actually changing much, except for the main lead instrument and some of the cymbals, snares etc. I though this was a good idea in the first place, but now Im starting to think the song gets a bit boring. I also have at least 10 more minutes of songs planned. However, should I decide to redo the whole thing, I will in the end have the complete medley melody, all the right chords etc - which will take me a long way! Another reason for me to only use this one sequence, was so I could properly test the Kontakt VST, which is my newest investment.. But some frequency interferences and sound-drowning are making this a lot harder than I expected. My first goal will be to finish this as a melody, after I will decide if this file is worth continueing on. The leads I am using here could be holders, and not necessarily the ones I will use in the end. Also, the part between 2.55 and 3.50 ish is pretty much an empty holder, just to show the connection I have in mind between. Just blank kicks means I have not yet made any connection between the melodies. Im open for whatever feedback you may have Thanks for listening!

Trinity Dragon Posted October 9, 2013 Share Posted October 9, 2013 I think the intro is a bit long, but I love the dance/hip-hop groove to it. Kinda has that tropical vibe to it. The various melodies flow smoothly with each other as well. I think the synth could use some more texture though. A little wobble, a little delay, a bit more with the dynamics. But overall, it made me smile. I like that dark interlude as well at about three minutes as well. It's a nice change up, and keeps it from getting monotonous. The alternation at this point between major and minor modes is really nice as well. The change at 7 minutes feels a little forced, in my opinion--much less smooth than the earlier progressions. And while I'm sure you know this, it ends rather abruptly. You could probably leave it at the seven minute mark and add just a little bit of a redux of the original theme to finish it off.

SuperMareyuz Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Thanks for your reply Im assuming you mean just the plain beat in the intro as the "too long" part. This part will not be in the mix at all when Im done, its just a part related to something I wrote in the first place, about the idea behind the whole thing! There are two horrible "transitions" after the Owl theme, I guess those are what you mean! They are not actually transitions, just "holders" for some other melodies (or I havent made anything between there yet). I tried poorly to explain in my first post But thanks a bunch for your feedback, cheers me up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
