RandomFoxDE Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 (edited) Here is a remix I just completed from Ecco the Dolphin the Tides of Time, Tube of Medusa (genesis) https://soundcloud.com/foxde/tube-of-medanca This is actually my first time using FL studios, so I really have no idea what I am doing with the effects. I do like the convolver, though. I know at least one spot where the reverb is way too high on an instrument that echoes (irony, I know), but I can't fix it until I get the full version of FL studios. I also used UgoAudio's metallurgy, which is a great instrument for making a pseudo electric guitar sound. Yes, that animal sound in there is a dolphin Just curious on feedback and what people think, I do plan to fix it up one day and submit it into OC remix. Also, is it too bare for an OC remix? Should I try to add more supporting instruments? I've gotten lots of feedback that my music is too crowded so I tried a simpler approach. Also, how are the transitions? I had to piece a bunch of MP3s together so I don't know if they transition well or not. Edited June 12, 2014 by RandomFoxDE Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansdown Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Oh, nice mix! You gave Tube of Medusa a creepy vibe, like the in EVO. ! Where's the dolphin sound? I can't hear it? XD Is it a clicking? I can't speak much of the production, although it sounds like you've got some ideas on improving that with the full version software, but I enjoy the melody in all of the sections. I don't think you have too many or too instruments. 0:28-0:56 is pretty cool :3 Melodies at 1:01 and 2:13 are keen. 2:23 is boss. >:3 Yeh, transitions at 0:57-58 and 2:28 are abrupt. Transitions at 1:34-35 and 1:52-57 seem alright. The ending piano at 3:10 after the fade-out seems out of place? It's so short and sudden. You could probably just leave it out.

Thank you for your feedback The dolphin is at a minute and twelve seconds in. I will definitely try to transition the song better, how do you suppose I transition them? (I am a noob in music, I have only been trying it for about a year now and this is my first serious video game music remix.) Do you think I should add a few notes and make it blend in to the next spot? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swansdown Posted June 13, 2014 Share Posted June 13, 2014 (edited) Ah, I thought the dolphin sound was a synth effect. XD hehe cool You're welcome for the feedback. I'm not a musician so I can't give you any specific advice on making the music, though -- sorry! BUT... you can look at your transitions at 1:34 and 1:52 then think how they're different from the more abrupt transitions at 0:57 and 2:28. You're right in that there are a few more notes there, which are absent from the latter 2. 0:57 sounds like you've skipped to another track at first without any transition. 2:28 has a bit of a drop off, so may actually be alright, depending on your taste. With 1:34 there's a little elevator transition and 1:52 has a little wind/waves before the change. Whoa, only a year of training and you made this?! That's pretty rad. You'll go far! Keep it up!
