Remember, when you work a long time on a track (especially when mixing), it's really easy for you to hear something you already know about than it is for someone who doesn't know what's coming to hear it.
The new ending is better than a fade out, but it still feels anticlimactic. On it's own, the chiptune-melody at 1:48 sounds pretty good, but I'm worried the orchestra under it has the same problems that it does at 0:32, and I can't hear it because of how loud the melody is mixed. The half-step compromise doesn't sound as good. I suggest you have the instruments that could realistically slide pitch do so, or cut out the half-step and just have a whole step there. I assume you're doing this because everyone who made a midi of this song wrote it for piano? The half-steps don't sound anywhere near as good as the pitch-shift did in the original. And the drum kit that comes in is mixed very quietly, and could use some compression to make it punchier.Īt 1:02 and 1:18, you've taken a part that was originally a pitch-shift, and transcribed it into half-steps. Or maybe everything else is being delayed with an overuse of reverb? I can't hear anything underneath the melody. The trumpet seems to be playing everything early? And the strings at 0:56. I still think the drums at 0:15 could be mixed louder, and possibly be more bassy?Īt 0:24, when when tuba comes in to start playing the main motif, I think some new instruments should play over the strings for variation's sake.Ġ:32 - 1:20 sounds extremely messy. Why the fade-out ending? It's disappointing, you should have a climax instead. The chimes at 1:31 are too dry and loud compared to the rest of the orchestra. I think ~1:26 could have more interesting chords, it seems to just be octaves now. I can't really comment on the orchestra until 1:20 - it just sounds like mud underneath your chiptune sound. Frankly, I think you should just get rid of it up until 1:47, and probably change it's tone too. It's very dry, whereas the orchestra has lots of reverb, and it seems off pitch? It's tone clashes with the entire orchestra. It doesn't mix together with the orchestra at all. The chiptune aspect of it sounds extremely bad, sorry. The drums at 0:16 are mixed too quietly to have much of an impact, to me it feels like a waste of their potential, just having them in the background.
Was 0:12 supposed to have a dissonance? I ask because it didn't really feel like an appropriate place to have a dissonance.
