Freymold Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Last Update: 23/01, added bass This is both my first post and first remix ever. The music being butchered here, belongs to the water stage from tetris attack, and any kind of feedback, no matter how harsh is welcome. http://freymold.googlepages.com/rawkingfrog.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avaris Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 It sucks! bwhahahaha just kidding Lot of the high screaching noises drown everything out, that really needs to be addressed. Check out the tips/tutorials section in the remixing forum for some good stuff. Zircon's tips are a good quick read. There are a lot of harsh grating sounds that really wear on the ears. Def read up on those tips and implement as many of those as you can. From what I can hear in this there sounds like there are some good ideas and what not, keep it up dude.

Xaleph Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 First of all 1) get your drums in the same key as your music. Each percussive hit actually reflects an actual note value. Change the pitch until it matches the base key of the song. 2) Change your base drum to it's own channel, run it through some kind of compression. 3) Equalizing - Please equalize each sample (including each one of your drum samples). Make sure the entire frequency range is being used. 4) Gut your song - Take out some instruments and get it to sound good with the minimal use of instruments. 5) Listen to other songs and get some ideas in terms of transitions, equalization, and harmonic devices. Sounds like you have some interesting ideas, and it's great to have a new remixer on board. Consider posting what tools you used to make your remix and find someone who uses the same tools to get better at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freymold Posted January 16, 2007 Author Share Posted January 16, 2007 Ok, I just finished the second version of the mix. I removed a couple of keyboards, and took a long time trying to make it more pleasant to the ear. Use the link on the first post to check it out.

Turnip Posted January 20, 2007 Share Posted January 20, 2007 The soloish part at 2:35 or 2:20 needs something added to make it differentiate from the parts before it, maybe more intensity or new instruments I dunno. Try adding something and see if you can see what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freymold Posted January 22, 2007 Author Share Posted January 22, 2007 Changed rhytm guitar tone, some chord progressions, and other minor stuff. Do you think it's ready for submission, or still lacking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
