Monobrow Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Here is my latest WIP Source is: Final Fantasy IV - Tower of Bab-il First off, I love the soundtrack to this game... It's really awesome, so I hope you like this song. Tell me what you think, what bothers you, what you like, etc. Don't pay attention to anything after around 2:30 ish... Really, whatever jumps out at you tell me. My remix alternate hosting Source alternate hosting p.s. please also listen to my Brandish WIP which is also floating around if you like this please :J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nutritious Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Nice take on this theme - cool ideas. -Right ear is very hot/bright with that piano and maybe some other stuff. It's even louder later. I'd tone it down a bit. -Pretty hard panning on the pizzicato strings and piano, I'm not sure if it works here, but that's up to you -Needs a lot more bass presence I think. Especially at the intro, the low end should be really filled out. -I like how it's leading up to the main section, but I think it needs a lot more dynamics to make the transition exciting. Right now it just feels like it increases speed without much volume change. I'd love to hear a big, full hit with that chord at :48 after a strong buildup. -You've got some cool gating effects, but they seem a bit buried. -I like the effects at 1:11, but it seems to get pretty cluttered. Not sure how to help you here. Not much more time to listen now, but keep it up - I love this source tune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nacho Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 I thought it was pretty good. Very original. I was just about to give a critique about what happens after 2:37, but I just read not to pay attention to it, LOL. So up until that point, everything sounds good to me!

Beoulve Posted October 18, 2007 Share Posted October 18, 2007 Very original. But some of the high end percussion is a bit too sharp, at least for my ears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceansAndrew Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 Pretty nice start, and a cool concept. I am loving the shimmery runs and the string counterpoint. I think your bass drum needs to come up a little and hit a little harder, and that you need to put some pads in to thicken out the sound in some places, but this is a great start. Nice work dude.

The Instrumental Light Posted October 29, 2007 Share Posted October 29, 2007 It's pretty interesting, although I'd say that in some parts it feels a bit empty, you might want to add some kind of violin/synthesizer to accompany it in order to make it sound less empty. Honestly, despite what I've already criticized, you actually do a pretty decent job in making it not empty. I think in some parts it gets too chaotic, try to make it more balanced with parts unless you're trying to go for that kind of style. Also, some parts just don't fit with the rest of the song's style, and it seems like many parts are just seperated, and sound like their own seperate song. Try to join them together a bit more and make the song more like a single song rather than several seperate ones. I don't think this is quite at ocr's bar level, but I'd say you're getting pretty close at least in some areas of the song. Just keep on working on it, and you'll have something really awesome. Awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monobrow Posted November 1, 2007 Author Share Posted November 1, 2007 thanks for the review I will def. work on trying to fill up the space in some places... I also need to work on bridging some transitional gaps and make it flow better (I realize that the end parts I've added may feel a litte out of place because I haven't really worked on some transitional stuff, and they are mostly just ideas I may or may not use) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
