TehVeggie Posted October 5, 2007 Share Posted October 5, 2007 This is my first attempt at a remix. There's no ending at all yet, I'm planning to add something after where this cuts off. I will probably also work with the drums some more, its pretty basic for now. Any tips? http://fws.dan-the-man.org/Veggie/phxremix.mp3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spellmynamewithabang Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 It's far too close to the original. It feels like a MIDI rip with a slower melody. You're doing some decent things here, but try and elaborate more on the theme. Give it a more complex bassline than the original; the "dadadadadadadadada" gets old.

OceansAndrew Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 Agreed; there is some style personalization done to this, but it is far too close to the original. I like the club feel you are going for, but the synths need to cut a little more. Add a little bit of high end on them. your drums are a little flabby as well. The bass drum is more of a flabby moosh than something punchy. you'll need to EQ the lowest frequencies down so the bass can fit in there, and then probably layer something in that has a little more high end so it really slams. As for arrangement, you are going to have a lot of work on; it sounds way too close to being a straight up cover. It sounds like you might have added a new part or two, but if so, they are way to subtle. I think part of the issue is that the synths you are using generall sound similar, so the parts all blend together, without much definition. Get some sharper and more stacatto sounds in there to counterpoint the melody. It's a good foundation, but this has a ways to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
