awesomeman500 Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Hokay, my first remix. I know that the bg drum doesn't match but It's still pretty good by my standards seeing as I absolutely suck at remixing. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.php?id=1073928⊂=78926 That is where you can view it, listen to it, whatever. It should be listed as "The Frantic Factor" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Don't you have a sequencer? This is all very live keyboardy. Kinda chaos. I don't mind the string instrument despite it being very obviously fake. It feels very gamelike. But you need to get things on tempo and on beat.

And I'm sure I mentioned that it was kinda off beat at some points, but it doesn't really matter right now... I'm still working on it.

Villainelle Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Um, yeah...the offbeat stuff makes it really hard to listen to. This is a case of too much humanization, which is rare, but possibly more detrimental than the opposite. So how did you manage to get the kick offbeat anyway? Did you record it in by hand? o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyrog Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 Work is Interesting. I see original ideas in it but you should improve playing . I understand it's hard to perform a music but experience will make you improve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you record it in by hand? o.O I recorded the song first and then went back to it and added the kick in, so it didn't match. Anyway, I removed the kick: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.php?id=1073928⊂=78999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rod Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 I actually think you need some type of kick/bass drum, or at least some it helps to fill out the soundscape quite a bit. Just make sure you quantize it. Its very rare that a kick should be humanized. In another direction, you could turn this into a nice dark ambient piece......but depending on your musical experience, you may or may not wanna go in that direction.

Theory of N Posted April 14, 2007 Share Posted April 14, 2007 If it were me, I'd stop trying to humanize those soundfonts/samples. They sound incredibly fake and the way they're played make them sound faker. Try putting it into a sequencer rather than recording them by hand for now. Other than that, we have the fact that the arrangement aspect is minimal or nonexistent. It sounds just like the original except w/ guitars and bad soundfonts/samples. There's also the fact that it's extremely empty and offbeat. And some of those bass notes are out of key. Still got a ways to go dude, but don't give up!

awesomeman500 Posted April 19, 2007 Author Share Posted April 19, 2007 Although this is not entirely mine. I forgot a few parts and I couldn't play a few parts, so I used sections from a midi file by Dave Phaneuf. This is supposed to sound electronic, so don't say it sounds too humanized. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.php?id=1073928⊂=79952 original http://www.vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/n64/V1.1DK64_Frantic_Factory.mid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theory of N Posted April 19, 2007 Share Posted April 19, 2007 whoah, this sounds totally different. Doesn't even sound like the same wip anymrore. That clicky kick is kind of annoying. Still sounds really empty. Fill it up more. Put in some lower background parts or something. Yeah, it sounds better because it has rythm now, but my biggest beef is the fact that there's nothing but melody and there's no arrangement whatsoever here. It's just the original in different keys.
