Liontamer Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 It's a cool arrangement that would have been over the bar in ye olden days but, IMO, doesn't bring it enough for the current standards. It's not undeveloped, but it feels underdeveloped. On a more minor thing, the clap groove (while layered) sounds super basic and doesn't fill out the soundscape. Meanwhile, the level of melodic interpretation was low and the adaptation to this genre wasn't personalized and expanded as much as it could have been. 2:10 was essentially a copy-pasta of :48, while 2:24 was essentially a copy-pasta of 1:29 only thickened a little bit. Ultimately, for a 3 minute arrangement, it felt like there wasn't enough development or evolution in the long run. It's a good cover that was somewhat personalized, just not enough to really allow it to stand apart from the original. It's still a cool piece, but there's a lot of unrealized potential.

Chimpazilla Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 This is a really nice sounding track, lots of cool little details, fills, vocal fx, filtering, great sidechaining. Nice full soundscape. I like the soundchoices generally. I think the drums and percussion sound pretty good. The clap is ok but you could make it a bit snappier and add some great delays to it every so often for fun. Larry is right, the arrangement feels underdeveloped, and this is the biggest issue holding the track back. The track is repetitive, and I understand that trance can be repetitive, but you've got a couple of sections that sound very copy/pasta. Some variation on the melody, lead timbre, backing, even the chord progressions the second time around would improve that situation, as would some additional variations in percussion and some more fun fx. The ending is a disappointment... at 2:24 there is another buildup, and I'm expecting the track to open up super wide and just tear it up but the song just... stops... You really do have some great sounds going and the mixing is quite good. You just need to vary the arrangement and writing so it doesn't sound so repetitive (same verses, breakdowns, and transitions). I think some kind of resolving ending would also help a lot. The intro is really unique and well written, kudos on that. NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted March 20, 2014 Share Posted March 20, 2014 Production overall sounded fine to me, but the arrangement was lacking for me in a lot of ways. Melodically there isn't much beyond the original midi, and a lot of it feels like copy-pastes. PThe feel is really nice, but there isn't enough addition to the track, and it feels like a simple genre-shift. No Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
