Worlds Project
« on: March 26, 2016, 09:21:57 pm »
Working on a new project trying to do a sort of mashup of Worlds by Porter. I was really trying to go for a type of Divinity buildup in the first build, but in my opinion it stands to be a lot wider. I've been mostly trying to focus on gain staging, panning, and reverb but I feel like it sounds flat when the high frequencies really come in.
Any feedback appreciated... brutal honesty accepted

Fun idea!

- At 0:33 there's a wrong note in the melody, it goes c#-d-b-f#, the original goes c#-d-c#-f#.
- In the buildup, the vocal synth sounds great.
- In the Goodbye part, the chord progression doesn't really fit. The original is in F# minor and your version is in D major, so for example the G in the bass is really dissonant with the melody g#-a-b

Holy damn. Sounds amazing so far! :D Waiting for the hugely sidechained 4/4 drums. (I am imagining something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNmCC4bj2q4)

Thank you for the feedback! The vocal synth is actually the exact same synth as the opening one. Im glad it ended up sounding like that ! Also I was curious as to what you said about the Goodbye part, and after looking at my midi again, the melody goes G-C#-D. So the root note of the melody is harmonic with the bass playing under it. However as far as the Divinity melody (and all melodies in the track), I'm definitely planning on adding some edits of my own, simply because I've heard loads of Porter remixes/remakes where the melodies are all the same as in his tracks, and while that still sounds amazing, i think it adds a certain level of predictability. Maybe im wrong :) lol

Yeah, you just have to be careful with the edits so that it doesn't sound like it's just transcribed wrong :) Might be better to use the original notes, then add some ornaments and glitches/repeats to them, or edit note lengths and stuff?
