electric concerto Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Here's the start of a remix of the main Emerald Coast level, "Azure Blue World" in Sonic Adventure. Tell me what you think so far! http://www.e-concerto.net/music098273/oceanscenic.mp3 UPDATE 1: Changed some instruments and added others. UPDATE 2: Added some SFX and more synths, cleaned up the BD a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy Jazz Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 For the most part, I really liked it, but a few things I think could be better are: 1) The strings at around 0:30 - I think arrangement wise strings are a good idea, but your sample is pretty weak - you need a stronger, more realistic-sounding sample. 2) The ending. The piano really doesn't fit. Maybe a short Coda would be more suitable, still using your more electronic, trance-y samples, followed by a perfect cadence.

electric concerto Posted February 14, 2007 Author Share Posted February 14, 2007 ok, I'll see what I can do, even thought I don't use too many samples... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutritious Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 Ok, a few suggestions: -At the beginning with the ocean wave sound, I'd say put it more in the background by lowering the volume. Also, give it some reverb or something, because currently it cuts out between each wave sound, so it sounds fake -The breathy flute at the beginning jumps around on notes and sounds too rigid. I'd try adjusting the velocities and not jump to higher notes suddenly, try to "humanize" it a bit The rest of the song isn't really my type of genre, so I can't comment on it.

The Instrumental Light Posted March 14, 2007 Share Posted March 14, 2007 for some reason the song stopped downloading about three-fourths into the song. from what i heard though, here are the problems: -i agree with Nutritious, that wave sounds fake because of how spaced out it is. now i don't mean go wild about it and add waves constantly, then it just sounds bad, you need precise timing. - also, some of the instruments just sounded low quality and fake, im not sure, but you might want to add a little reverb among other things(such as bass, maybe a little treble). other than that great job!

Jimmy Jazz Posted March 16, 2007 Share Posted March 16, 2007 I don't think I downloaded the whole thing. It cuts off unexpectedly at 1:07. But What i can say from what I heard: Flute needs to be brought up a little bit. Um, thats it. Reminds me of Sir_Nuts Twinkle Park mix, and thats not a bad thing at all.

electric concerto Posted May 24, 2007 Author Share Posted May 24, 2007 Ahhhhh... rejected.... Oh well, this is going to be the one I really resub... Link has been updated, sounds way different that it did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rod Posted May 26, 2007 Share Posted May 26, 2007 Glad to see you're gonna resub this. This is one of my favorite WIPs up here. The mid-range percussion at certain points is a bit overpowering to me, most notably when the snare first comes it. I really enjoy the arrangement though, and I dont find it too repetitive at all. Good luck with this : ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
