Luna (Diss Order Club Mix)

[Diss Order]

Still a WIP, nowhere near finished. But regardless of that, I'd still like to know what you think of it so far.

I'm COMPLETELY new to digital music production, only been doing it for a month or so... so please go easy on me.



P.S. YouTube messed with the sound a bit so there's a bit of distortion in my otherwise clean beat among other things...

[PinkiePieSwear]

Not bad!

I could be mistaken, but it sounds like the lyrics could use a bit of synchronization with your song. Either the timing was off a bit, or maybe it just didn't work with the hi hat rhythm. Something there just seemed a bit off. The lyrics might need some volume control as well. They seemed a bit overpowering to me.

Overall, very cool!

Yep, someone on ponychan pointed out the mastering issues and I noticed it as well when I played it on my headphones. I reduced the volume on the vocals and the bassline now. I forgot to double-check it on different sound systems.

About the vocal synching: I've got a very good ear when it comes to synching and rythm and imo it's not off. I think I know what you mean though, the spoken words don't play symultaneously with each kick. Sometimes the vocals start before the pulse/count/kick/whatever you like to call it, but it's supposed to be like that. In the chorus for example: "Luna" kicks in about half a pulse before the meter.

Either way, the synch on the vocals is technically accurate [/twilight-mode]. That's about the only thing I can assure you about this track. XD

[Stars In Autumn]

That sounds really good. A pretty chill beat going on there. And I like the way you start the vocals on around 1:30.

I really dislike how you did the chorus. The original progression is as follows: D#m B C#...

[Diss Order]

I listened to the original and I didn't like it. If I really liked the original as it is, I wouldn't have started making a remix. Afaik it sounds good (as in: not offkey... got a built-in sensor for that, offkey makes me cringe. Pretty much how Alex S' remix of the same track makes me cringe).

I just happen to like this better. :] I quite occasionally arrange orchestral pieces based on other original works for my orchestra and also for my own (for solo piano) and I think I have at least decent enough experience on the matter to know that this doesn't sound 'bad', regardless of it being different than the original.
