So I decided to do a remix of one of my favorite Legend of Zelda songs, which is the Song of Storms.
I made most of this today, actually, and I'm really happy with how it turned out!
Yayyyyyyyyy
Enjoy!

Not really digging the intro. Feels kinda trite because it's so naked. Would have preferred just a straight dubstep intro in the vein of 1:33.

Otherwise, song is fine. I do feel like it's a bit overcompressed, even for dubstep -- to do with certain frequencies peaking, an unwieldy low end not either A) multi-band compressed (since your goal is loudness in dubstep) or B) surgically EQ'ed or hi-passed to fit in better with the instrumentation, and vice versa for the instruments.

I personally prefer multiband compression a-la FabFilter Pro over surgical EQ in most cases because it allows you to keep the punchy bass where you need it, without getting that flat overdriven bass sound. You can also use it on your perc to get a little more sizzle, while at the same time avoiding sibilance.

Your use of FX was good.

I don't like the run at 1:14. Feels again, naked. Pan it around, switch to another instrument. something. Also, watch that high octave on your bass. The volume gets out of control, and then it suddenly goes from taking up the just-right amount of space in a highly compressed track to /totally/ flattening everything and its mother. Keep an eye on that. I recommend leaving about 3-6 dB of headroom before going all loud-max on any track. Just pumping volume can actually deaden your listeners' ears to what's going on, to the point they quit listening to your transitions and hit the skip!

Can't really go wrong with Song of Storms though. Enjoyed the piece.

Thanks for the review!
I agree, this track could be improved in lots of ways. It was my first song made with my monitor speakers and I was getting used to how they sound in general, so it was bound to be bleh I guess xD
Again, thanks for the review!

I heard this song when I played Majora's mask and really liked it.
You used the song very well.

EMBL3M responds:

Thanks man :)

It feels like I going through some sort of Song of Storms binge marathon. This is getting added to my list. Nicely done.

EMBL3M responds:

EMBL3M responds:

EMBL3M responds:
