brokenbirthday Posted October 13, 2015 Share Posted October 13, 2015 This sounds really good, but the mixing could use a lot work. I honestly wouldn't say that I'm great at mixing myself, but from what I can tell almost everything but the main synth is way too low in the mix. That is until about the last fifth of the track where one of the lead synths climbs way too high. I wish I could give some better advice, but again, mixing isn't my strong suit either. It just takes a lot practice and patience, paying attention to how all the different frequencies react to each other, and finding a proper balance.

David Kiraeth Posted October 16, 2015 Author Share Posted October 16, 2015 Yay! Thank you so much for your advices! I do admit mixing is not really my strength, I'm still learning I listened again to the track with proper audio device, and I absolutely agree with you. So here is a new version, same link: https://soundcloud.com/messire_cookie/do-re-mix-gradius-beginning-of-the-history-msx-cover-contest It's maybe not quite perfect yet, but I think it's better. Thanks again! ^^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brokenbirthday Posted October 16, 2015 Share Posted October 16, 2015 I don't have my headphones on me, but even over my speakers that sounds a LOT better. You had to sort of strain to get the melody out the previous version, but it's right there in the center on this one. Very good work! =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
