2300 AD - A Time Waiting For It's Hero (Remix)

2300 AD - A Time Waiting For It's Hero
http://www.filefront.com/thankyou.php?f=17842570
EDIT: Redid Vocals - http://www.filefront.com/17843325/2300-AD----A-Time-Waiting-For-Its-Hero.mp3/

This song is about all the people after Lavos rose in 1999 AD. In this reality, the hero never comes. It's a remix of Robo Them and 2300AD, but mainly 2300AD.

All Instruments/Vocals/Wind Rounds all recorded by me or my voice. I'll probably redo the vocals soon.

I finished this 2 - 3 hours ago, but I its taken me til now to render it. Well, sort of. For some reason I can't seem to get some cracks and clicks out of the render. I use Ableton Live 8 now, and I have not noticed this before my win7 reinstall.

I'm beginning to wonder if it's just my comp, but other music plays fine. Once I figure out whats wrong, I plan to submit it to OCRemix. Just need some feedback.


Lyrics:

Left behind
By the flow of time
Remnants of
A past long forgotten

My love, my love


If hope could
Help them the way it should
To give them the will to fight
They'd be alright



There's no hope
In this world
In this life
That their living
Here tonight

Where is their hero
Where is their hero

Somehow it reminds me of Radiohead, it's awesome!

PS: You don't need OCR

I think the vocals need a little work. That's definitely where the crackle is coming from.

Haha thanks, Dario. I feel I can make way better music just live recording it, instead or using FL Studio or Ableton Live 8's digital musics.

Lol, why don't I need OCRemix?


Its either the vocals, or when the vocals come in. That's where the most tracks have something playing. I am going to try to render it on my dad's beefy comp soon, and see if its not just my single core comp trying to use a dual core minimum requirement program.

The Wind sound and Vocals are definitely heavily processed. I have to put compressors on live instruments I record, so I can get decent volumes out of them most of the time. That makes lowering or raising a track's volume easier when I have made the sound fade in or out. The other thing they have is a heavy reverb. That makes the wind sound more like 2300AD's and the vocals feels distant and slow.

If the render on my Dad's comp doesn't work out, I'll look into changing up the reverb and compressors to see if that helps any.

Man, I loved the atmospheric feel of it! And the lyrics too! Unfortunately the voice needs to be more ambient, but that can easily be fixed with a little practice.

Personally, I prefer complexity in my music, but this is still awesome as a soundtrack. :D Funny thing to note though: I had a similar idea about a year ago for a fanfiction. World is doomed, people hoped, but no hero came. Their strongest will, intellect, technology and strength was no match for their incoming fate.

Thanks guys.

I think the vocals were a bit too loud, so it loses the far off feel to them. Needs a few more adjustments before I upload to youtube.

Id turn them down by maybe 3 to 6 dB. The amount of reverb doesn't need to go up, though, that's perfect, and the instrumentation sounds great. Can't wait to hear the final product!
