Eternal Testament Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 I've noticed there hasn't been alot of interest in Oblivion mixes. Ah well, I'm not gonna let that deter me. I took a break from 'Riding the Wings of Destiny' and came back to it with a fresh ear. I've done stuff to it. Have a listen. Though I'd like any input you can offer. Two links in case one dosn't work. Riding the Wings of Destiny (putfile) Riding the Wings of Destiny (Soundclick page) Quote
OceansAndrew Posted July 18, 2007 Posted July 18, 2007 The orchestral elements are pretty good, but the guitar tone is incredibly distracting. It's super thin and crappy sounding. :/ It sounds way too far back in the mix as well. I can't tell if it's real or not either. Quote
HoboKa Posted July 19, 2007 Posted July 19, 2007 I like the guitar sound, though it is a bit muffled sounding. Where'd you get the sample(s) or did you record a real guitar? The symphonics are definitely down pat though Quote
LagunaCloud Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 I'm taken aback at this mix. It is awesome and I can't wait for it to be finished. Hurry up! Quote
Alexis Posted July 20, 2007 Posted July 20, 2007 This is a pretty sweet mix, but I'm not a fan of the tone of the guitar... Keep working on it, this is really awesome. Quote
Solatrus Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 I'm always a fan of Jeremy Soule's works, and Rock Orchestras are always awesome sounding. I'll agree though, the guitar sound/synth doesn't sound as good as it could. Just improve that sound and you might have something! Quote
Tensei Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 If you want I can record the live guitar for you, this mix has some potential, and you're not going to spoil it with crappy synth guitar right? It doesn't sound extremely challenging so I could have everything recorded by tomorrow. I'm actually jamming along to it right now Quote
Xtormrage Posted July 25, 2007 Posted July 25, 2007 The ride in the drums seems a little weird. Also change the loop of the drums, it's too repetitive. And what everyone says. The guitar sounds really crappy. The idea is cool, and also it can be greatly expanded. Some really good guitar arrangement would be cool, adding harmonics, etc. Also the solo part needs polishing and a better soloing. Something more heaver and nostalgic. Good luck though, it's a nice idea. Quote
