Katajun Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/1665268/ocremix%20links/Island%20of%20melee%20demo%20wip.mp3 Hey everyone! I recently put together this Monkey Island track for a demo I gave out to people at MAGFest, and I was looking for some mixing/arrangement advice on it! It's leaps and bounds ahead of some of my previous work, but I really want to get it top notch. Thanks in advance for feedback! Quote
timaeus222 Posted January 14, 2014 Posted January 14, 2014 Oh yeah, this source tune. The biggest issue with production that I'm noticing here is in the drums. The guitars, bass, and other non-percussive elements are mixed well. The drums are buried, though. If you listen closely, the snare and kick are barely audible. The toms are better, but can be even better. Maybe this could help you. Although the production with the non-drums is good and the arrangement doesn't feel repetitive, it could use some sort of breakdown section to bring down the energy as a change of pace. Right now it's just high energy, and that's it. The dynamic curve is pretty flat, and that gets tiring to the ears. Quote
