CoolBeets Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 This is the new version of my orchestral remix of Guile's theme. I Started over completely from scratch and have taken the critique I received on the old version into account, but I still feel that it isn't quite "there" yet, somethings missing. I'd love some feedback on this, maybe you guys can point me in the right direction. [EDIT: link below has been updated, the old version is still available on soundcloud of anyone wants to listen and compare.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ridiculously Garrett Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I think this is pretty good, the only thing that really throws me off is the piano bass part. All the velocities sound the same to me, and despite the fact that whatever instrument patch you're using is MIDI, it just sounds really quantized and mechanical. Doesn't sound like a human is playing it: it's too perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also changed up the choirs a little and I think that did it, take a listen and tell me what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rotten Eggplant Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Might I suggest some EQing and more variable note velocities. The drums sound clean, but the orchestrated instruments are too muddy and stiff... Also maybe some more note variations. Like, instead of having the strings hold consistant chords, try to create melodies for each that maintain the chord, but not hold it to one note.

I'll see what I can do, stay tuned Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavyarms83 Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 Wow, what a difference to the Gerudo Valley remix. Here the dynamics are absolutely right for what it is. I would have said the same thing as Rotten Eggplant about EQing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolBeets Posted January 18, 2018 Author Share Posted January 18, 2018 This is version 3, I've done some EQing as suggested, I also added a compressor. It sound a bit better now but I think I might have gone a little too far turning down some of the elements, tell me what you guys think.
