Blue Rhythmz Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 this one will be remastered in the future because my old headphones broke and had to use some really cheap ones. but i havent put anything out in several months so i decided to upload it. as far as composition tho its complete in my book. never heard this tune in a drum n bass style so i thought it would be quite interesting. https://soundcloud.com/djsatsui123/streets-of-rage-attack-the-barbarian-drum-n-bass-remix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uffe von Lauterbach Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I can't really find anything to complain about. The chord progression sounds familiar to a D&B track I once heard, but I can't put my finger on which one it was. That's not a bad thing, though. I like the smooth synths and how well they complement one another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 (edited) Well, the biggest gripe I have about this is that it's repetitive. That in and of itself is not wrong, but it seems over my threshold for repetition. The drums feel loop-like, and the "cry" sound effect is overused in places where it's used. I'm not demanding you to use it less, but it just feels cheesy to me. It could stand to be used less anyways, though, because it contributes greatly to the repetition. The copy-paste in some places contributes fairly substantially too. The chords are cool, and samples aside, the concept makes sense, but I believe the textures you chose might come off as too oriented towards the better headphones. i.e. people with half-decent headphones may not hear the good aspects of this. For example, there's a portion of the intro and similar copy-pasted sections that is mostly bass and low passed drums, so some people might only hear some muffled clicking. I don't hear any substantial mixing issues that can really be pointed out at the moment, but there isn't much mixing to be done yet, it seems.
