Savage (funky 4)
Re: Savage (funky 4)
And some quick replies to comments so far:
In General:
A few comments about the length and how finished it is. Apart from unfinished meaning unpolished (highly possible
) I deliberately kept the track short as the original only takes about a minute to loop. Also the SID itself is quite simple, it had individual elements I loved but is far from Jeroen's most complex work (imho), it did exactly what it needed to though ingame. I didn't want to drift too far from that even though that started happening towards the end.
MFE:
For better or worse (okay I know worse) I do the vast majority of my work on headphones, I do switch back to the monitors for reference/checking phase destruction etc. but my my mixing environment is far from ideal so the mixes will always sound their best on Cans. I did spend a lot of time playing with the stereo field and depth for the effects so thanks for noticing.
Jojje70:
Fair enough, glad you liked the overall sound though.
Monty
Glad you liked it, as I mentioned in the General section above I deliberately kept it short to try and stay closer to the original, even though I ended up taking many liberties with the elements.
LaLa
Understood, again thanks for listening and the feedback. Maybe I'll take another stab at it in a few years but I'm really trying to try and get into the mindset of just wrapping things up and moving on. I spend WAY too long on tracks twiddling away and then never finishing them. This will just have to fall into the lessons to learn bucket.
