Liontamer Posted August 5, 2007 Share Posted August 5, 2007 Hello, This is a remix that I did using Ableton Live 5, ProTools, and my Korg MS2000B. Here is the link: http://www.kingtigermusic.com/music/eggman.mp3 Here is all my info: ReMixer Name: KingTiger Real Name: Corey Oltman E-Mail Address: kingtigermusic@gmail.com Website Address: kingtigermusic.com UserID: 13997 Game: Sonic & Knuckles Song: Death Egg Zone System: Sega Genesis Composer: Howard Drossin Comments: What I said at the top. I'd also like to say that I had a lot of fun and explored some areas of music and sound recording that I had not visited before. The in-game sound effects were tricky, because I had to run an emulator and record my computer's audio output into my MBOX...The bad thing was, the emulator didn't like running at the same time as ProTools, so some of the sound effects came out rather glitchy, and I had to edit them a bunch to fix it. Also, all of the sound effects except for one are from Sonic games...although some of them are severely processed If you can guess which one isn't from Sonic I'll give you a cookie. Another comment I'd like to make is that the most common remark I hear about this ReMix is that it's very "groovy." Take that how you want Would it be possible to leave the link to my remix in the rejection post? I'd like people to still be able to download it, even it's not a great number of people. Many thanks, not only for listening to my remix, but also for hosting such an awesome site! Regards, R.

Vig Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 Awesome title. I think the synths at times are a little rough, and the writing/composition is definitely on the simple side. The piano part is really unrealistic and akward sounding. A lot of parts are kind of stepping on each other's toes. You need more space in the writing.

Liontamer Posted August 11, 2007 Author Share Posted August 11, 2007 http://project2612.org/download.php?id=61 - "Death Egg Zone 1" Pretty flimsy sounds, especially that tacky sustained vox pad, but let's move past that. Beats were decent, but they need more creativity in the writing. The lead synth was lacking; needs to sound more melodic rather than so rough/abrasive. The new bubblier synth brought in for the chorus at 1:04 doesn't mesh together with the rougher synth. Chageup at 1:22 was weak in that things sounded VERY empty and thin, and wasn't much of a dynamic contrast from the first section. The instrumentation changes, particularly the piano were ok though in terms of changing the feel that way, even if the writing never became very complex. The tempo and evergy level hovering at this level only made the arrangement drag out despite the other style variations, which was unfortunate. Ending section at 3:16 lacked direction and I wasn't feeling the finish. During the fuller sections, your parts were fighting for your ear like Vigilante mentioned, so work on EQing as well to give things their own space. Could use more complexity in the writing, particularly the supporting instrumentation, and better energy through more dynamic contrast and tempo changes to keep things from dragging out.

big giant circles Posted August 18, 2007 Share Posted August 18, 2007 You may have had it in mind, but up until the piano drop around 1:45 or so, the quality of the sound via your choice of instrumentation etc didn't sound like much of an upgrade from the Genesis sound chip. Lead synth was just a little... obnoxious for the most part. Sorry. Don't know how else to say it. Definitely had some monoglide abuse going on as well. Monoglide is definitely a double-edged sword, and has the same pitfalls that something like reverb has. It's great when used tastefully, but people just go nuts, and it kills a track. Not a bad track, but the foundation and soundscape don't really keep this one afloat in it's current state. Keep at it, don't get discouraged.
