All created with Hammerhead Rhythm Station and Sony Acid Music Studio 6. ----------------------------------------------------- Banjo-Kazooie OSV - (25) "Treasure Trove Cove" & (24) "Gruntilda's Lair (Treasure Trove Cave)" Pretty conservative arrangement; just a genre conversion really. Intro was decidedly lo-fi, but simply became low-quality at :22 when the drums and guitar kicked in. Except the chorus, the drums were way louder than the actual melody and the atmosphere was pretty muddy. First section ended with a long hanging note eventually transitioning into "Gruntilda's Lair (Treasure Trove Cave)" at 1:37; pretty cover-ish again. Drums entering at 2:10 were lame and only kept time, plus they were too loud. Good close with the guitar feedback though, followed up by those last few strums. Decent track, but a straightforward, undeveloped, uninterpretive arrangement and bleh production don't get the job done. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vig Posted January 6, 2007 Share Posted January 6, 2007 really missing highs/midhighs. I found the introduction scratching rather annoying, and the transition was sudden and akward. Not much in the way of arrangement, but there are some good bits; the performance is good, the concept is good. It sounds good when you come in with a second guitar in the right channel. I'd like to hear more stuff in the future from you. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I actually think the intro is pretty cool. But generally speaking, production is a little on the weak side. Everything sounds kind of lo-fi, mono, and "small". Needs to have more stereo width, a higher bitrate, more mids to highs, better mixing (bass drum is kind of loud, can't hear bass guitar assuming there is one), among other things. The performance is good though - and that is often the hard part. The arrangement could be better. You are free to take more liberties with the original theme(s). Add solos, original riffs over the progression, new chords, bridges/transitions, additional instruments, anything it takes to personalize it more. As it is this is closer to a rock cover of the original than a "ReMix" as we define it. As Vig said though, it would be nice to hear more from you.
