1f11nty -The Carpenter of Post Town Remix

Ack too much stock sample

Wow, of all GTI songs, who would have expected me to tackle this one? Well, I had inspiration to do it, so I did it. I also did it quite lazily, but I couldn't have been bothered. :>

Stats 4 nerds:
Key: D minor (no key change whoops)
Tempo: 110 -> 120 -> 60
Time Sig: 14/4? -> 18/4? -> 5/4,3/4 alt -> 3/8
Percussive Channels: 44
Pluck Delay Rate: 3/4

For this remix, I focused my insanity on the mangling of my percussion samples (including stereo for you headphones users) and an extremely large amount of super slow delay feedback. I think it turned out pretty cool. Let me know what you think! Feedback is appreciated.

More PMD coming soon! Enjoy!

I'm really digging the sound design you have going on here. It's a nice stereo mix, and there's a lot to keep you interested. While this takes awhile to get started, it does homage to the original with your percussive elements. I think this is all about atmosphere, and you do a good job creating it! I really like the ritardando, it was pulled off well.

A few points to consider: The piece cuts off without letting the last note decay. Also, the ending/parts of this piece feel a little bit repetitive to me, but that's also the nature of the song that you decided to remix, so I can't fault you too much for that. I like what you have going on here man! You can definitely use the skills that you're working on in this song for a wide variety of applications. Keep up the good work!

Finally someone reviews! I was starting to get concerned.
Thanks for the review. Now for a response

Sound design --> Does it count as sound design when all the synths are presets and half of the percussion samples are taken straight out of my limited library of sounds?
Stereo --> I worked super hard on that. The problem with my headphones is that stereo is really hard to hear. A sound has to be panned pretty much all the way to the left/right for me to distinctly hear it. Maybe that's why it's hard for me to hear the difference phase delay makes. :/
Long intro --> I tried to divide the track evenly between the four big sections of my remix, but I still see where you're going at. If you regard the first two sections (which is pretty much the first half) as an intro, it can seem long.
Good atmosphere --> My question for you is what you thought the atmosphere I created so well actually was :P
Good rit --> Tempo envelope, 120 to 60, 1 measure, smooth stairs curve, etc
Cut ending --> Gosh dang it. I just noticed that and now I feel sad because I'm notorious for pointing it out in other people's songs. :(
Repetitive ending --> I tried to mix it up a bit with the bongo line (does that exist) and the delayed arp thingy, but maybe it wasn't enough?

So anyway, thanks for the review! I appreciate it. :D

I listened to your remix mate and im quite surprised you could remix that, im not a big pokemon fan i must say that i didint like much the original, but your remix really felt like something out of a pro video-game, i liked how it starts really slow embracing the original and then turn wild with the synth and melody, plus the percussions and stereo wide really make it feel like youre in a dungeon
