M_Blacki Posted August 1, 2016 Share Posted August 1, 2016 This is a heavy Hopes And Dreams project I'm working on for fun, but also to learn the proper ways of recording/mixing to get a nice smooth tone and clear instruments. I didn't want to deviate from the style of the original because it's so pretty, but at the same time I wanted to play it myself and give it a louder feel. Feedback is much appreciated, and please let me know if I've made any mistakes so far. Original: Remix v2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M_Blacki Posted September 18, 2016 Author Share Posted September 18, 2016 I was going to eventually replace the synths with a recorded electric violin, but due to other projects I'm holding off on it. The current version has been updated and probably staying that way for awhile, although I'm still open to opinions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dino Kid Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Really nice crunchy tone in this. I think the electric violin would make a nice addition. My main criticism would just be that the elements could be better mixed. It feels very low and low mid heavy to me and it really weighs down the rest of the mix. I'm a bit of a stickler for clean sounds and this isn't the type of music I listen too much so I'm sure you could find examples mixed in this way but to me with a piece that has such a heavy emphasis on melody you really want it to shine through. Overall though I think its a nice recreation, very well rounded in terms of arrangement and performance, good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
