zircon Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Looking at the big picture, this is not far off from the general style that Disco Dan did in his Triforce Majeure remix. However, there are quite a few issues I have with this one. For one thing, up until 1:45 the whole thing is a really basic orchestral cover with poor instrumentation. The production is definitely subpar and there is no real structure outside of the structure of the original. The beat that comes in is completely out of place.. it's just a basic dance beat. Then, around 2:33, we get a new bass instrument and some crashes out of nowhere.. not really adding much of anything. From that point on, there's an attempt at making things dramatic but it just doesn't really work. You really need to brush up on proper production and more realistic orchestral sequencing. You also need to try and work on more interpretive arrangements rather than ones that are very close to the original. The ReMixing forum is the place to go.

DarkeSword Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Starts of as a total rip of the original with some poor sequencing and sample choices. Then it's the original over a drumloop. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I crib from zircon's notes because he's correct. And really, if you're going to start off with direct sampling the original track, at least make it transition more seamlessly. Not bad for a beginner effort, but zircon explained why this has all sorts of fundamental problems. Did any of the various beat patterns ever really integrate with the rest of the instrumentation.
