YoshiBlade Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 So if there was ever a song I've wanted to remix it was this. Just something about the simple 28 secs that seems to chant " You've got this! Com'on I've got you Back! Let do this thing as a team!" I needed that group feel to it with the sampled stomp and clap, like a whole bunch of people behind you are there cheering for you. The song progresses in a" I-think-I-can, I-think-I can, I-know-I-can, I-Know-I-can!!!!" manner. The chip style synth....Hmm I'm still figuring it out, but I like the simplicity and honest feel the chirps invoke, it's as if the rack is saying "I'm not trying to be a Massive synth....I'm just me lil'ol synth 101(Maelstrom)"remix- https://soundcloud.com/yoshiblade1/going-bannasoriginal- (my Favorite room ^^^^^) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiBlade Posted April 1, 2015 Author Share Posted April 1, 2015 (edited) May I bump this up to Mod Review? I didn't get much public feedback... it's done until I can find a crowd willing to help me with the boot stomp and clap...sooooo I guess it's done.

YoshiBlade Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 Ok...I'm just gonna do it...I'm gonna bump this one last time, but I swear on pain of death, this will be my last attempt to get this one mod reviewed...if I get no nibbles.....( deep breath)..... I'm prepared to let this one fade into obscurity. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timaeus222 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 You know you could just PM a mod, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelCityOutlaw Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 To be fair, you don't seem to have it tagged as a "mod-review". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoshiBlade Posted September 18, 2015 Author Share Posted September 18, 2015 You know you could just PM a mod, right? Yes actually you've helped me with that in the past timaeus , but I like the public discourse where as one person might say the Kick is too loud or someone else says the kick is fine, but the synth needs less reverb and a third person might say the synth is fine but the kick is too loud. I general look for the points that arise most frequently, with regards to criticism, for sort of statistical approach to what should be addressed To be fair, you don't seem to have it tagged as a "mod-review".

timaeus222 Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Isn't it more confusing that way? Couldn't you look at the artist's accepted OC ReMixes if there are any, and go off of what you think of them production-wise? Or, you could see if you agree with them; popular agreement doesn't really indicate who is most accurate (there's that one phrase, "the ignorant masses"). Make your own judgments too.

Rozovian Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Track starts off sounding like the newbiest stuff ever. But I like the instrumentation. I like the sound. Nothing wrong with blatantly chippy and simplistic synths, if used right. Drums fall somewhere in between appropriately simple and plain newby. An old drum machine sound and oldschool tracker drums are two possible options for the drum sound design. This falls somewhere in between, and doesn't quite work. The drums ruin the aesthetic the synths have, and makes it sound more newby than chippy. That said, there's performance-invoking things you can do even with chippy synths. Level changes between notes, for example. There's a certain appeal to the raw mixing, but I think it needs a touch more balance in track levels. The rhythm around 0:30 seems to invoke Minecart Madness. Cool. There are some bizarre spikes in the soundcloud track overview, and I have no idea what's causing it. They might be a problem. Hard to say. Source usage is clever. It reminds me of Israfel's Glass Cage, which is one of my favorite tracks. The structure of your track is a bit weird, though. There's plenty of cool things in here, but I have no idea where the track is heading, and the track seems just as clueless as I am. Having a climax, a grand finale, a reprise of a "chorus" would give you something to build towards. I see nothing wrong with the 2:25-end part myself, but most of the stuff before that have been random cool things, which does not make for a cohesive arrangement. Not to write your arrangement for you, but having a clear chorus part there and going from there into the 2:25-end part would give a bit more direction to the track. All the parts before that chorus could then build towards it, teasing the listener with pieces of it. It's one possible structure for the arrangement. Cool take on the source, nice synth aesthetic, raw mixing, aimless arrangement, ill-fitting drums. Also, why haven't I noticed this thread or received a PM about this track if you've been awaiting a mod review since April? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
