Nostalvania Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This is a funky version of the overworld theme from the Legend Of Zelda. Here's da link: https://app.box.com/s/z9nui51q66gp5oviya5d And here's the well known original: http://youtu.be/lpEzYEoV9qY I dunno, maybe I will make a real remix, with more instruments and drums... Thanks for listening and feel free to comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamphibious Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 This is begging for a jazz brush kit and a live sax or something for the lead. The lead feels a little far back at times, just sorta blending into the keys, but its not all that bad. Pretty smooth sounding chords and such, I dig the general vibe. But yeah a version with some drums and the like would really be cool to hear methinks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garrett Williamson Posted October 20, 2013 Share Posted October 20, 2013 needs drums and like upright acoustic bass I like the lead synth and the chord progression is pretty sweet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice arrangement so far! Yeah, soft drums with brushed snare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalvania Posted October 21, 2013 Author Share Posted October 21, 2013 Thanks for the replies! Yes I agree, it needs some drums and i'm already working on a drum part. I actually like the E-Bass, it fits with the funky style of the arrangement IMO. But yeah, I will try how it sounds with the upright. I think it just depends a bit on the quality of my acoustic bass samples, i'm afraid that it will sound too fake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 The lead sounds nicely upfront, actually. The E. Piano has a lot of reverb though, and not a lot of high end possibly due to that reverb. The lead's treble might be fighting a bit with the tines of the E. Piano when they're both playing at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damashii!! Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 oooohhhh heeeeellls yeah. Dem chords. Reminds me of that arrangement Joshua Morse made a while ago, except this is much more in the acid jazz/soul direction. No suggestions or hard complaints from me, I think you know what you're doing so I'll just wait for the next killer draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argle Posted October 21, 2013 Share Posted October 21, 2013 Add drums and you have a winner. Somebody mentioned brush drums but I think old skool hiphop sound would be good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalvania Posted October 22, 2013 Author Share Posted October 22, 2013 The lead's treble might be fighting a bit with the tines of the E. Piano when they're both playing at the same time. So, maybe I should boost the high end of the lead a bit? oooohhhh heeeeellls yeah. Dem chords. I'm glad you like my chords, I appreciate it!

timaeus222 Posted October 22, 2013 Share Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) So, maybe I should boost the high end of the lead a bit? Actually, the other way around; The lead could be notched or shelved down a bit in the high end where the tines of the EP lie to allow them to come through.

Nostalvania Posted November 5, 2013 Author Share Posted November 5, 2013 Alright, here is the first update: https://app.box.com/s/xlmpzpcert0yp22o18vg I finally managed to finish the drum part and I think the brushed drums was a good idea, thanks for the advice guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) The drums sound like they have potential, but aren't there yet. Hearing this might help you on the drum compression. Edited November 6, 2013 by timaeus222 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nostalvania Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 (edited) The drums sound like they have potential, but aren't there yet. Hearing this might help you on the drum compression. To be honest, drum compression and compression in general is something that I still have to learn. Regarding your soundcloud link I suppose it's the snare that needs to be compressed, I guess. Or are there other parts of the drums that should be compressed as well, like the kick drum? Edited November 6, 2013 by Nostalvania Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kick drum too, but I figured doing it on the snare could help you apply that idea to the kick. Currently the kick is a bit quiet. Everything else sounds awesome, though.
