Delta Hedgehog Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 It's not a bump unless the topic is older than two weeks I think. Anyway, these remixes are pretty good. Good work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 your instruments sound very GM Midi-like and it takes away the power of the remixes. plus the levels are all over the show, you need to sit back, listen and turn everything down a bit. Things like pads are supposed to be low in the mix, kick and snare being quite up there. otherwise I don't have much to comment on... people know I don't really have much to say on remixes unless they do something really innovative. Same way I feel about sprite edits really. don't take this as me hatin', just keep pushing yourself bro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to get the project files from my other computer onto this one and fix 'em up. I know the Zelda and Phoenix Wright ones need lots of work, and the Sonic Heroes one is an outdated version.

Ristar Posted July 30, 2011 Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 are you using soundfonts by any chance? it's just that my songs started to sound a lot better once I moved away from them and learned to program my own patches into instruments. are you using FL Studio? if so, try experimenting with Wasp and DX9 or DX10, can't remember which is in FL Studio. Both of those used together can result in some really cool sounding songs. i'm not a fan of your drum samples either, try downloading a few packs from http://samples.kb6.de/downloads.php. The Akai stuff is pretty good. Another thing! Your Genesis demix needs some things changing in the following ways: -obviously levels need to be sorted -instruments that are not PSG (square and noise) can only be hard panned left middle or right. PSG can't be panned at all. -your hihat should either be an FM synth hihat or a PSG Noise hihat. -you need to add a bitcrusher to your drum samples set to 8-bit, 11025Hz. -No more than 2 square notes at a time, no more than 5 FM instruments at a time if using drum samples. technically annoying I know, but that's the key to authenticity! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caleb Posted July 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2011 Ah, thanks for your help I only used a soundfont for my Genesis demix, and yes, I do use FL Studio. I use the Wave Traveller thing for some of my remixes, other than that I don't use 'em. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ristar Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 look up some tutorials on subtractive synthesis, you can get some great sounds. if you don't like Wasp, there are a few good free VSTs like Synth1 and TAL Elec7ro. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
