DrumUltimA Posted June 20, 2007 Share Posted June 20, 2007 This is a remix I did for Almasy Marquis contest over on OUS. I just emailed my submission, so I feel okay with making it super public now. http://drumultima0.home.comcast.net/kingdomheartsremix.mp3 tell me what you think! I can't do much in terms of editing it because I don't have enough ram to play it in sonar anymore, but I'd like to hear your thoughts before I submit it to OCR edit: i'm having trouble with my own god damn link so if it isn't working use this one: http://drumultima.googlepages.com/kingdomheartsremix.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OceansAndrew Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 I don't remember the original, since all of the kingdom hearts music blended together for me, but this is really nice. I still think the intro and actual song have some visible seams, but you have blended them together a lot better since I last heard this. Drum programming is interesting, those snare rolls in the BG in addition to the kit are a nice touch and make the section they are in. The violin is nice too. SOme of the keyboard leads are a little on the thin side, imo, but nothing dealbreaking. My suggestion at this point is maybe bring a few of the live bass drum hits into the song for a climax point or something; you don't really hear the instrument except for the intro and outro, making it kindof like a sandwich with bass drum instead of bread lolz.

OceansAndrew Posted June 21, 2007 Share Posted June 21, 2007 It was so masterfully incorporated i didn't notice it. >_> Actually, when I listen for it, I hear it a lot better. It's very subtle though because there is so much else going on as well. I am a bad friend. ;_; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumUltimA Posted July 3, 2007 Author Share Posted July 3, 2007 seriously dude that was like my biggest problem throughout this whole thing because I couldn't find a balance between it sounding too much like the original and not enough the lead is supposed to be BASED on the piano line before the strings...I tried to put the bass line in there too. The intro was not included in this mix. Another problem is that most of it's in 4/4 when the original was in 6/8 :[ I relied mostly on the chord progression in this one.

Dhsu Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 Oh, what I meant is I didn't hear the melody. Yeah, I noticed the piano line and the bassline thing, but I dunno if that will be enough for the judges (although apparently the OUS judges didn't even notice :/ ).

OceansAndrew Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 I think part of the issue is that all the Kingdom hearts songs sound samey. Maybe it's just the actual samples used in the original soundtrack? They seem to be pretty subdued samples, and when you are dealing with subtle melodies, it makes it difficult to remember. My suggestion for your mix is maybe bring a few of the live bass drum hits into the song for a climax point or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ink Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 The mix of the delicate violins and bells with the chip-tune-esque electronic samples just doesn't work for me.... =/ I like where the mix is going, but I think you need instruments which are a bit more cohesive.
