Liontamer Posted July 1, 2006 Share Posted July 1, 2006 http://snesmusic.org/spcsets/loz3.rsn - "Dark Mountain" (loz3-13.spc) Grove bias. Very bleh synth design, very stock, uncreative beats with plain-jane patterns and a lack of interesting processing. The arrangement does try to do something interpretive in terms of the overall feel, but you're basically just following the structure of the original with a poor dance/trance genre conversion. Some interesting stuff at least at 2:26-2:40 for that break section. Last part at 3:20 for the finish is a lame, barren way to close out the track. And don't throw in a tacky cymbal shot at the end. It's like branding yourself right on the ass like a cow and screaming out "I am new! Please don't hurt!" Keep at it, and read up on the ReMixing forum to learn how to use your existing software more effectively, then post the material to the Works forum to have the punwashed masses gauge your results.

zircon Posted July 17, 2006 Share Posted July 17, 2006 Grove bias Bad puns aside, I gotta agree with Liontamer on everything here. This is a very simplistic adaptation of the original tune to a dance genre. The synths are all extraordinarily basic and there is nothing about the drum beat to make it exciting or interesting. Getting down a really solid wall of sound in this style is just pure practice, though if you want to speed up the process, I suggest talking to ReMixers whose style you'd like to emulate and ask them how they get their sound. Otherwise, the ReMixing forum is the place to go for more generalized advice. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted July 23, 2006 Share Posted July 23, 2006 I'm in agreement. The synths are generic and boring, and the percussion sticks out poorly with its incessant "bump, tsh, bump, tsh." Like zircon said, you need more practice in getting the right "wall of sound" texture going. This piece feels stratified. The arrangement is also pretty repetitive.
