Give the following video clip a shot and tell me what you think.
Edited: Ok here's a decent clip of the song I want you to sample
I've never actually watched Tron Legacy, so this is the first time I've listened to this particular track:
Modded
some rumble, not a lot though
nice bass punch
"snare drum" is pretty clear, non-sibilant
"cymbal" ts ts ts ts ts sound is audible
midrange seems pretty forward
the orchestra parts sound really nice (2:45)
soundstage seems pretty wide
instruments are clearly defined
sounds pretty balanced overall
Unmodded
more rumble, very nice indeed
harder-hitting punch
drum sound is still pretty clear, non-sibilant (seems louder than modded)
"cymbal" ts ts ts ts ts sound is still audible but it's not as obvious (overshadowed by the midrange synth?)
midrange is a bit farther back, not as forward
the orchestra parts are well-defined but farther back than the synthesizer?, sounds a bit off to me since usually orchestra parts are more pronounced in a movie soundtrack
soundstage is wide, but not quite as wide as the modded version
instruments are less separated, but still clearly defined
sounds U-shaped overall (the bass is the most prominent, "snare drum" has nice authority in the track, mids seem laid back relative to the bass and drums
XD
I forgot to say what I think of the song. It's a great song. I really like the orchestra piece in there and that plus the synthesizer gives the track a "going on an adventure", or "victory is approaching" kind of feeling.
The electronic sounds remind me of a Portal 2 song:
