UPDATE!!! 12/12/07

So I think I've basically finished it. I guess I'll submit it, but I want to see what you guys think first. Because I did this for a computer music project, I can't imagine that I would have much time to work on it while up here before break (especially considering that I have my third project due soon!) But please, lemme know what ya'll think.

I'm calling it "Dances of Wind, Sky, and Earth". Pretty lame, but it goes with the marimba piece "Dances of Earth and Fire", so whatev ;D

So I'm doing this for my computer music class. It's supposed to be a music con crete project, but I'm basically undermining that assignment by doing this (I'm working with audio so whatever). It's ALL PERCUSSION! here's a very rough wip of what i've got so far. Sorry about the clipping and stuff, I'm still figuring out this software.

enjoy!

So far it sounds good. The instruments sound very much like the real thing and the composition is nice. I'm not too familiar with drum music but what I see here is excellent.

thanks man. the drums are all real, everything played by me ;D

[Hausdog]

Oh... It never occurred to me that someone would use software to work with a live recording..... I was just thinking you were one HELL of a production expert.

All percussion... I like that idea, and the source even calls for it.

Link to a MIDI version or archive is always good to provide, for comparison. Of course, vgmusic link don't work by clicking on them, so: http://vgmusic.com/music/console/nintendo/snes/Rowasae.mid Correct me if I'm wrong.

Feels like the tambourine should be EQed up a little in the high range, and the overall volume down, as there's some clashing when it plays more intensely.

Try adding a multipressor to the output, try out some presets. It's hard to give constructive criticism on an all percussion piece, so that's all I've got.

Well, I could add that I like it.

AWESOME. I've been hoping for a long time that someone would do a drum-only remix of this song. As OCR's resident percussionist you're just the guy for the job too. I can't give much advice, since this is way out of my area of expertise, but it sounds great! Keep up the good work.

[Escariot]

The only thing I hear is a line of 4-5 tuned bass drums, 2 quints, and 3 snares, along with a good mallet line.

Seriously... I hear an amazing Indoor Drumline show written around this. Maybe not quite so long with the intro in the actual show, but yeah. Good stuff.

[DragonAvenger]

It kinda takes a while to really get established, but when it does it's pretty sweet. Nice work man.

[Eino Keskitalo]

Excellent work.. impressive.

[Geoffrey Taucer]

Yeah, pretty much.

This is brilliant. Arrangement, production, and especially concept are absolutely brilliant.

[Dhsu]

Haha, definitely not musique concrete.

Nice mix though.

[DrumUltimA]

shhhhh

i'm hoping if i turn it in with like, sound clips of people talking and like waterfalls in the background, i'll get a decent grade

[metaphist]

Damn, this sounds organic to the max! Really impressed...and then holy shit, the drum solo's at 1:50-ish come in, and I'm like wtf again! I agree whole heartedly with Taucer on this one, amazing! I could go on, but...

Submit the crap outta this

wow this is definately getting posted, if not then the judges are just being turds.

Judging by what I heard in #ocrwip, it's actually quite debatable whether the source is eligible at all, since it contains no melodic instruments whatsoever. =|

Either way, It's an amazing mix.

Meh, but this is rather authentic. So bite me.

[Hausdog]

It's hard to not be authentic when you're using live instruments....

[Kureejii Lea]

Wow, this is fun. Nice execution.

[Tensei]

What I said was almost exactly what Zircon said in #ocrwip. Stop acting like you actually know about getting something passed.
