Looking for Remixers for video game album!

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

How would you rate my track out of 10?

I know this is a "just for fun" kind of thing but I'm really trying to get serious with electronic music production considering a few of my irl friends are forming an industrial-metal band (aiming for the sounds of rammstein/berserker/the browning) and I was to handle the electronic parts

I've never been terribly good since I don't really play any instruments and have never had a music class in my life, anything I know now was self-taught. I should really read up on music theory though

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

track finished, ended up not using that final pattern in the preview. couldn't fit it anywhere, which makes me sad 'cause it had that badass hero sound that I wanted to sprinkle here and there. oh well, the ending is a total tiger uppercut so I guess it worked out in the end~

oh and are we doing the super famous "kgz defines your worth as a composer" thing now? do me too

I don't feel confident enough to create anything for this.

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

WATS GOEN ON.

edit: lol wat. there's a ton of clipping in the unmastered mix too. something's up

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

Can I get a word on the song in my most recent thread? (I'm actually afraid to ask after the thrashing that mechanical flower got :/)

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

I hope you won't be afraid. I understand that my feedback can be quite abrasive at times, but it's with an honest intention of hoping my feedback (as well as everyone else's) can give you ideas or a greater understanding in future productions.

It's not you that I'm afraid of (you didn't review Mechanical Flower)... But I confess there's something strange when it looks like everyone in this forum agrees about a specific problem I can't entirely detect and people in other sites don't mention the same problem at all (again, not really talking about you).

Still, if you can give feedback on my most recent track or any of the 3 latest threads I've posted which got no comments, that would be great.

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

The "fake" instruments in many of your productions can be both a very charming positive quality as well as a detriment. I acknowledge that in many ways creates nostalgia and returns a retro throwback to old school video game OSTs.

I believe that if you had the resources to record live instrumentation, the emotional impact of your tracks would increase monumentally. Honestly, even adding one layer of a live instrument with analog/line recording can bring a track to life than a previously all digital production.

Man, you're not the first to tell me this. Some people love it, some people hate it, I don't really care much either way.
In my opinion, the only real downside to having digital samples is the lack of articulation with stuff like lead guitars compared to a live played instrument.
I really wish I could get someone to play leads for me, but I've yet to find anyone who's both interested and actually capable of playing the of the shit I write >_>

On my own personal interest, I would love to see more original tracks from you =)

Original tracks get like 100 plays. Remixes get thousands. I'm a sellout.
I am of course still working on original stuff, I just sit on most of it. I'll eventually start putting out CD's I guess

Anyway, thanks for the evaluation! Submitted the track now, one mastered and one unmastered. It'll be interesting to see how far apart our power levels are when I hear your final mix if you decide to go with the unmastered one heh.

EDIT: It actually looks like I only managed to fix the weird clipping in the final mix. I have no earthly idea what's actually causing this, but I believe it can be toned down with a subtle maximizer... I'll do that tomorrow if you deem it necessary.

KgZ if you have the time I'd appreciate an honest post about what you think I should improve on as an artist. (like you have done for zagh / calc)
To have one, especially someone of your position, reflect upon my works would be helpful.

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

And I got 2 questions from KgZ and no other comments in the new song. Should I just imply from them that the instrument choice was bad or is there anything else?

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

I wonder if it's my fault my song sounds weird using razer's virtual surround or if that can be blamed on the program itself.

It just sounds super sidechained through it... hella wierd

checked the equalizer settings on it too, its at default - no added bass

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

Re: Looking for Remixers for video game album!

or maybe he hates all our submissions and was like fuck these nerds

anyway
