<pony><wip><original> Little Wings (HELP NEEDED)

Postby sonikkureinbumu » 29 Aug 2012 01:37

Hello all, I need some criticism and help and all that kind of stuff for this WIP.

1st WIP: http://soundcloud.com/sonikkureinbumu/3-hour-wip/s-3wMTn
2nd WIP: http://soundcloud.com/sonikkureinbumu/7-hour-wip/s-Rl6NI
In the 2nd WIP, I forgot to turn on the reverb for the piano.

What's up with the big bassy synth at about 0.20 in? I can't tell whether it's clipping frequencies due to interference of whatnot, or if you just put it too low, but it sounds too muddy. Just my opinion though

I think it's either too much mid/high end or not enough low end. Maybe a bit of both? Actually, maybe it's just me, but the whole song seems to be kind of lacking in bass.

Besides that, though, wow. This is beautiful. Definitely going to be downloading this one when it's done. :D

So, I guess that the main problem is the bass then.
I guess that that I'll have to adjust the mixer channel(itroitnyah), then adjust the mid/high end and low end frequencies(Magnitude Zero).
Also, thanks for the compliment Magnitude! :D

I must say, I was expecting a Jimi Hendrix "pony cover" when i saw the title :D

I agree with the others, it starts to sound muddy at at around 0:20. The muddiness seems to be resolved, in a sense, at the 1:00 (I really like that part btw :D)

I don't know what the original message for the song was meant to be but I love the feel good sound it has going!

Are you talking about the first, second, or both WIPs?

I actually may not be able to work on anything properly for about a week or so, because the cord for my headphones has a horrible shortage and needs to be replaced.

On both WIPs. It may be the "Bass" sound just generally being too loud at that part in the song? I'm not an expert so I wouldn't know.

As I said, at around 1:00 the track seems to balance itself out.

I just finished working on it more, I think some of the problem with the bass may have come from it going into very thin square waves. so I lowered the range of the lfo for the pulse width. and I also got rid of some lower frequencies in the piano. plus I fixed the no reverb problem.

Also, the songs about Scootaloo.
