Thr33sh33ts Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 Here's a bunch of tracks I've remixed over the years. Looking back on this, I can say I got progressively better - but would love to hear a critique or 2. Have at you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemophiliac Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Hi friend, please refrain from posting multiple tracks in one thread. With that said, which one track would you like an evaluation on at this time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thr33sh33ts Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 I apologize about that - I'll remember that for future evaluating. VMPYR KILLA, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hemophiliac Posted April 18, 2023 Share Posted April 18, 2023 Evaluation: VMPYR KILLA Ok, for the vast majority of the track this feels incomplete. 0:00-0:36 we get Vampire Killer with the prologue dialogue from SotN on top of it. Drums are different from the original but the rest is nearly identical to the source. 0:37-3:02 it's a two part track now, only drums and bass. This may be the same bass as the source as well. There should be more parts going on here, there's no melody, no harmony (only implied harmony from the bass). 3:03-4:19 we get the melody and bass from the source with added percussion. About 55% of the track feels unfinished because it's only two parts, need to fill in that space with something. To be honest, it felt like someone would be rapping on top of that section or doing something similar to that. Fade outs are generally discouraged. They rarely work and often just leave the listener wanting more. This time it is unfulfilling. What I would encourage you to do is fill in the space and add your own take on the source. What we have here is very conservative, when we do get the source; it's same melody and bass with added original drums. I do like the instrumentation you have chosen so far and this could develop into a very cool track when you add your own spices to the track. Good luck.

After you work on your track and feel that it's ready for submission to OCR, please change the prefix back to Ready for Review and someone will review it again. Good luck!

I thought about that, and felt it needed something else. Thank you for your detailed critque! Hemophiliac 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
