Radiowar Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I tweaked, layered and FXed a bunch of sytrus presets for nearly everything in this, but it still comes off as generic? yeah pretty much And yes, I do happen to like the dropoff and subsequent buildup of sound at :52 and afterward key changes like that generally come in strong so it was just kind of jarring but whatever you think works.
Chickenwarlord Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 I think there's a little too much echo/reverb for most of the piece, but that's more of a preference thing.
Nutritious Posted March 6, 2007 Posted March 6, 2007 Ahh, this is sounding awesome. A suggestion on the electric guitar riff from :34 - :50 though would be to add a little strumming or rythym to it. Right now it only hits once for each notes and sounds very mechanical/unrealistic. There's a low synth below it (it hits on several of the off-beats) that has a good pattern which you could match with the guitar.

There's a low synth below it (it hits on several of the off-beats) that has a good pattern which you could match with the guitar. Yeah, only thing is, a "fake" guitar trying to be realistic (especially with what I'm using) is oftentimes more noticeable. In this kind of mix, sometimes a purely electronic sound works better. I'll certainly experiment with this though; I agree that a "real" guitar would be better to use, but I feel that I lose control of the process when I get someone else to do it; and asking people to re-record, etc, is a hassle. yeah pretty much Fair enough. Maybe others will enjoy it more.
Fishy Posted March 7, 2007 Posted March 7, 2007 I don't think this sounds too generic at all. This is very hard stuff to pull off well, I think you've nailed it. The sitar was a bit cheesy though... (By the way, if the guitar part is as simple as it sounds, I could put something together in like 20 minutes if you told me what it was, just a thought.)
Sole Signal Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 Alright, this sucker's just about done. A bit more tweaking tonight and it'll be finished. Not going to post here; all I'll say is that the final length is around 3:40. Special thanks to tweek for kick-starting this thing getting finished.
tweex Posted March 25, 2007 Posted March 25, 2007 This track keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. You guys are in for a treat when he's done with it, believe me
Sole Signal Posted March 25, 2007 Author Posted March 25, 2007 This track keeps getting sweeter and sweeter. You guys are in for a treat when he's done with it, believe me Thanks man. I just finished it up; all that's left is coming up with a good title. The finished product is a good deal better than my WIP in the first post if I do say so myself.
TheThoughtfulOne Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 Can't wait to hear it man. Every time I've tried the wip links, I get dead connections, and from what I've been reading of the others on here I wanna hear it bad. Just be sure to let us know if you post it, or if you get it submited!
Escariot Posted March 26, 2007 Posted March 26, 2007 I've heard the WIP's, and if you have something better than that, more power to you. Can't wait to hear the full version.
Sole Signal Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 Thanks guys. I imagine I'll have it submitted within the next few days or so. I'm having the hardest time thinking of a clever title for it.
TheThoughtfulOne Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 How bout Road to Oblivion or something like that?
Sole Signal Posted March 29, 2007 Author Posted March 29, 2007 How bout Road to Oblivion or something like that? Yeah, Road to Oblivion was among the ideas I was tossing around. random thoughts that came to me: Boulevard of Broken Dreams Road to Oblivion Road to Perdition Twisted Trail Ravaged Road Annihilation Alley Devastation's Doorway etc. I dunno; I'll come up with something.
Escariot Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Boulevard of Broken Dreams Road to Perdition Gay... .
Sole Signal Posted March 30, 2007 Author Posted March 30, 2007 Er, you do get the reference, right? ...that wasn't a "serious" list at all. Whatever.
Escariot Posted March 30, 2007 Posted March 30, 2007 Er, you do get the reference, right?...that wasn't a "serious" list at all. Whatever. Yes, while I dislike both of them, I understand the reference, and wondered why you would list them... Didn't get the reference on anything else if there was one...
Cloral Posted April 7, 2007 Posted April 7, 2007 Is there a version somewhere I can download? I'd like to give this mix a listen.
Escariot Posted April 8, 2007 Posted April 8, 2007 Is there a version somewhere I can download? I'd like to give this mix a listen. We wish... He's not releasing it
Sole Signal Posted April 9, 2007 Author Posted April 9, 2007 Is there a version somewhere I can download? I'd like to give this mix a listen. I wonder what a 45 second teaser would sound like played on a mono record player from the twenties over the telephone. Yes, I'm terrible.
