Aww aww aww… First remixes. Almost always suck and are totally unlistenable. In most of cases they are just bad resamples or milion of unsynthesized channels at once. I thought I know what I can expect…
Whoa Whoa Whoa!!! I suck :). And you rock, apparentely. Of course, it has features of begginer’s mix and 95 % of people recognise that this is newbie’s piece, but it does not mind. Because this is just great start, Crusader.
No offtuned channels, original melodies, good samples, nice effects, awesome background melody… Not everyone can vaunt of so good start.
I think every pattern is fine, although it doesn’t sound so good altogether. Too many only-actual-lead breaks just… break it. Samples, as I said are chosen very well, original melodies are nice also. But the thing I had really problems to put with, was the rhythm. Thanks to fast rhythm (what’s well), there are too fast beats. Hi-hats work similary like clasps, normally, with difference of that clasps are normally on second, not first beat… Clasps here work as ordinar hi-hats, with some oww moving by two rows. This sounds bad in this tune, just because you are begginer, but I think when you will play with rhythm a while, you will be able to do just fantastic rhythms.
The tune is very, very short, has only 1:22, what’s really dislong. During that, tune is grading, (bass, beats, back, hi-hats, clasps, lead) and the climax is about 0:45, where lead starts. That’s pretty late, but it’s okay here. Cause lead begins to be repetitive and one little really nice modify is only at the end, after playing five same lead melodies from Fanolint, which itself is pretty repetitive… Song reminds me Dr Eggman a lot, it will be apparentely because of the samples, which Eggman and Crusader use.
(+) Great start in remixing
(+) Good, very well modified background melody
(+) Harmony
(+) Samples
(-) Breaks between patterns
(-) Rhythm
(-) Length
(-) Repetitive at the end
You see rating. Why only 4? Cause I must be fair, I review tunes, not artists. Really, not everyone get four points for his first mix. Just keep practising, and you’ll be great. You have talent, I am sure. But don’t forget. Practising.
And download recommendation? Sure, if you want to hear original melodies, which don’t hurt to ears. But… Expect begginer work. Although great, still begginer.
To Crusader: So go download it all. It’s all uploaded on lot of places, Jazz2Online is no except. Or, if you have original Jazz1, you can listen to PSM music in ModPlug Tracker. You must keep remixing, I really see that you have talent, in difference of someones…
