Meteo Xavier Posted May 20, 2007 Share Posted May 20, 2007 I am here to post a remix to Level 2 and Simon's Theme from Super Castlevania IV. This is done is an electronic rock style and my most promising remix attempt to date. My biggest concerns are with sound quality, phrasing, and instrument choice. I don't have just loads of top quality stuff to work with in terms of instruments or mixing capabilities. Its quite heavy, with the distortion guitar, distorted trance instruments, and LOUD bass piano and cymbals and while I think it gives it a lot of energy, I can see that it might be too much. My lead guitar is not great, but its the best lead instrument I could use on this song. Additionally, I'm concerned that it goes for too long and may be too redundant, especially with the guitar melodies. I'm planning on reworking the guitar parts so it sounds less redundant, I just want to know if it works as it is. This song is about as good as I can do given my current capability. If you have any criticisms please: A: Address them without unnecessary sarcasm and cynicism, just tell whats wrong with it and I'll fix it and B: Please don't give me vague comments like: "It needs to sound more COMPACT" or "It needs to flow better". Yeah, great, but how do I make it do that? Please be specific in your criticisms so that when I go back to fix it, I'll know what to do. Thanks! http://www.savefile.com/files/737286 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iliad Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 I'm in no position to offer any expert advice, just encouragement. The tune sounds very different and I like how you've mixed it so far. Another hint of the 'chorus' of the Simon Theme in there might help, as I only really heard it at the end. Still, I enjoyed the mix a lot. Look forward to updates.

Meteo Xavier Posted May 21, 2007 Author Share Posted May 21, 2007 I appreciate that, but an imperfect remix will get GRILLED by the judges, and I can't afford perfection so I need some serious feedback. Encouragement, however, is something I didn't have my last try, so thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted May 23, 2007 Author Share Posted May 23, 2007 I have a new version available. This one is much more concise and cuts down on the redundancy. The ending still needs work and I'm sure the sound quality could still be a lot better as well. http://www.savefile.com/files/744121 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteo Xavier Posted May 30, 2007 Author Share Posted May 30, 2007 last ditch effort to try and get some feedback. No more bumps after this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapsid Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Sorry if I necropost, but I would really like to hear again this track. Personally i think it sounded very cool, with such a good ambience (intro with clocktower is just awesome). May you repost the file link? Either have you got a your own website where to download?

Iliad Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 Therapsid I still have this mix. Maybe I can send it to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Therapsid Posted September 21, 2009 Share Posted September 21, 2009 That would be kind. Thanks. I really like that mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
