And I guess that's supposed to be a brass sample at :44. It's just a total sound quality disparity compared to the speed guitar and drums, which weren't incredible but were serviceable. Let's up the sound quality and get those weaker samples sounding a lot stronger so that there isn't that gross quality disparity. In all things, there much be balance. /Confucious /Aesop /The Bible /Fortune Cookie NO (resubmit) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zircon Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 Oh man, the guitar + drum stuff is so hot, you gotta get some better orchestral samples! The intro is awesome with the ethnic vocal stuff and synth pads, but then the cheap strings come in and sound really out of place. Likewise, the brass are really weak. Which is a HUGE shame because I love the arrangement here - very creative interpretation of the original theme - and the performances are otherwise quite good. Some other stuff; * I think the bass could be a little louder here - it's audible in the midrange but could use more presence in the lows. * The speed guitar section kind of dragged a bit considering not all that much was going on otherwise... I would turn down the volume on the guitars there and maybe add some lead sweeps or some synth lead things on top to keep things more interesting. * The orchestration, samples aside, could have been a little more full and interesting in the first half of the mix. In the second, it's good, but earlier on it tended to be on the sparse and minimal side, and was not nearly as engaging as the other parts. All in all, very cool, but the orch. stuff needs to be improved. There are a few other tweaks you could do as well, as I outlined above. I would really like to hear this resubmitted and I think lots of people on this site would enjoy it. NO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkeSword Posted November 19, 2007 Share Posted November 19, 2007 Not bad at all; pretty kick-ass actually. My only complaint is string and brass samples; they sound really weak here. With all the other great sounds around (esp. the vox), you owe it to yourself to beef up the strings and brass a little. NO but it's an easy resub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
