yuzuki Posted November 27, 2015 Share Posted November 27, 2015 Undertale is pretty cool and I like RPG battle music. Original: Feedback is appreciated. Thank you for listening! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precipotato Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 Hey, this is great. Good job on the arrangement. During the louder sections and places with more instruments it sounds fantastic. Harp might be a bit loud on it's own but I'm nitpicking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HankTheSpankTankJankerson Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 (edited) The MIDI scoops made me giggle some - if you are going to make this arrangement such a drastic style change from the original, you might want to fiddle with taking those out because its not exactly something an "orchestra" would do. Aesthetic conflicts and all that. If you are going to slow the tempo down to 154, you might want to try legato endings of staccato (during syncopated sections).

Slimy Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 1 hour ago, yuzuki said: what's a midi scoop? I believe he's referring to the pitch bends on the main motif, starting at 0:20. It sounds midi - like you just bent the pitch of the notes, rather than sounding like the strings are playing their notes that way. I also can't really picture an orchestra being asked to play that way - I think it would sound more appropriate if you tried emulating grace notes. Your brass instruments sounds very nasally and unappealing. You might be able to EQ some of the tinniness out of them, but the best solution would be getting better brass sounds. I think another reason this sounds very midi is because many instruments lack reverb. The chior, percussion, and harp have reverb, but the strings, brass and woodwinds sound very dry, and they also play too cleanly. Your cymbal sounds weak, it doesn't really have an impact. You could try mixing it louder and giving it a sharper attack. It also sounds like your mix has lots of mids and lacks bass, and is mixed a bit too quietly in general. But I'm not that experienced of a mixer, so if someone else could confirm this, it'd be nice. Maybe you should add more bass instruments? I don't hear much going on down there except for the timpani.

yuzuki Posted January 9, 2016 Author Share Posted January 9, 2016 oh, i actually threw this together in like 2 days and called it a day, so it wasn't the cleanest work -- it's already out the door and done though, so there won't be any more revisions. i do agree on the banks, and i'm getting better ones this year; these were just stock kontakt sounds and session strings thanks for the feedback!

Slimy Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 If you're not going to revise it, why are you asking for feedback? HankTheSpankTankJankerson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
