Snooper_1989 Posted November 20, 2006 Share Posted November 20, 2006 Dark Words - MP3 Version Dark Words - OGG Version I've been working on this mix for the past half a year and it's gotten to the stage in which I need to incorporate lyrics from my lyricist - but unlucky for me drama erupted and I now no longer have a lyricist. So I thought i'd post it all for you all to hear, and if you think you'd be suitable to be a lyricist for it (it's more of a rap style, that's what the original lyricist wanted) give me a buzz on the forums or on IRC (under the nick of Snooper, in #vgdj). Hope you all enjoy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snooper_1989 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 I really would appreciate some feedback on this mix, as I don't want it to fall through. I've been working on it for about six months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radiowar Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 ok not bad...strings are kinda icky, too much going on there, and the sample quality is not very good which usually doesn't matter for rap beats but it stands out here which is saying something. when the bass enters it comes across as way too weak. it needs more punch to it. the drums don't help much either, but at least get the bass sounding stronger. just a personal preference thing...after the break at 1:40 i was expecting the next entrance to be a lot stronger. overall i guess just make it stronger, it has potential but right now it just lacks energy...and given the repetitive nature of hiphop beats it needs to have that energy.

Snooper_1989 Posted November 24, 2006 Author Share Posted November 24, 2006 Hmm, interesting. I always found the song to be too bassy and loud so I toned it down a bit - although it may be my speakers. I'll keep adjusting and fine tuning. Thanks for the feedback. =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChloroPhil Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 yea you gotta make them drums more prominent sir. (that's a nice snare) The strings are too loud, and yeah their quality's not very good either. but i do like the ideas though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Scheule Posted December 7, 2006 Share Posted December 7, 2006 I'm not sure either. Let's call it an entirely descriptive fact, with no normative content. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackwinged Saron Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 well, that's why it's called ocREMIX. I'm impressed but since you're out a lyricist I would suggest working the melody to be less repetative. this is, unless you are finding another lyricist. But I really am not even complaining about that. It sounds great as is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
