I really enjoyed this. Images of a walking over a hill and seeing this dim lit stone and thatch roof village on the edge of a grassland bluff came to me. as though i had been walking for days to find it.
wow, didn't even know it looped! kept listening for a while.
Thanks very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
loud
this song had the atmosphere of being more relaxing but it was pretty loud and didnt enable me to sit in that feeling, i think it was the saw lead or tri saw lead from the intro, it was slightly loud, over powered the percussions. the chord progression was really good, very pretty. i felt this would be a perfect song for an ending credit on a game or movie. i title didnt match the mood for me.
lol. Yeah it is pretty loud. I tried to tone it down to the best of my knowledge.
For the title, I just think of whatever comes to my head. It's not really too important to me. I changed the title anyway.
Thanks for the comment.
big old fat mono thingy
so i was listening to the songs intro and i heard everything all compressed and in a big fat mono package, those laughs would have sounded better with some ping pong delay man.... idk, but that kick was good and hard. i thought that at 1:00 ish the more higher pitched instruments were well placed on the sides of the bass, but they couldnt easily be drowned out given a crappy system playing it loud. the bass was fat but not too fat, good work there. you had some really nice grainy basses, did you resample those to get that sound?
at :42 the way you made the filters sweep gave everything a great movement.
my favorite part was at :31 when those scream/ yelling noises(synth perhaps?) were made.
good work man, its a pretty awesome song.
Yeah I agree that shit was a bit mono. I don't have a good pair of headphones too test out the panning that well. Nothing was resampled, all post processing on the original synth. I didn't make the laugh, its just a sample with some effects on it and modulated. Although most of the rhythmic percussion is a synth.
oh and dude, get logic pro 9. Screw reason and ableton.
DUDE, HOLY COW MAN
DUDE, i would totally get down town wid this in a club. that bass wus pump'n
dem squares at 1:55 was straight up tight like a turtle.
keep it real man
I like turtlez!!!1!
pads
the thing i liked most about this song was your pads. i didnt care too much for the saw bass lead. but the song had some groove. the drums were pretty linear but fit the piece. i think the kick was a little too loud except for then wht padkicked in, did you sidechain that? good job.
anywho, a decent track, just not your best.
There is only has an hour+'s work in it, so I would give this a 7 as well : ) No sidechaining. Thanks on the pad compliment tho ^___^
thanks for the review m8!
crash
i love these windows songs, they sound like crash bandicoot. very creative
Crash Bandicoot? Never thought of that lol. Thanks a lot for the review, I'm glad you like this!
ok....
ok ian you have majority improved. progress had been made it is becoming apparent now. but im actually not going to adress the orchestration in this one, for the most part it was fine. nice lead synth by the way. i will say at 3:48 though , it was a little off putting, came out of nowhere and changed the theme. i had no idea what was going on. i liked the vocal pads but this became something weird, lol. but very original.
uh, ok you mixing on this has got to do a few things. in the first half that kick has more bottom than my recent ex, i feel like it needs to be shortened so that some of that is cut off. because its muddying things up when it gets more intricate, maybe shave some off with an eq, instead of shortening.
at 1:57.... dude that sweep and then accented with the piano at the end, was just great. im impressed. very propper use of instruments there
your intro was superb.
at 1:40 though that synth comes in without warning and startles the listener.
I fully agree with your comments on the Kick. I've been trying hard lately to make sure that the kick as a whole compliments the other instruments and vice versa. Sadly I put these songs together before I developed this picky attitude. But thank you none the less for commenting - as it does give me some direction to play with.
And my appologies if the song as a whole had it's disorienting moments, it is a Mix of two seperate songs I am working on. I just half-a'd the transition : (
And I see what you are talking about with the "startling synth." I will address it : ) I am thinkin mebe a low and bandpass in.
ian
ian very cool loop.
nice use of delay on that piano. that bass... man that is funky shit. i keep feeling like its so electro, and and i like where its volume is at. its cool.
i do however thing that when that shaker comes in round :24 it needs to be pitched down 3 semitones? and turned down slightly in volume, not much though but it would blend better.
Glad you like it. This one is gona take some work. I feel like I set the bar high just in how well the melody turned out ... o___o
just need to relax and play with it till I like everything around it I suppose. ^____^
But again, I am glad you like it (I do too)
if this continued
if i made music on civil engineering courses it would have to incorporate dirt and steel and ... measuring things...yay, but hey this actually pretty good. im assuming the class inspired you?
yeah i think you should finish it. the beginning especially makes me envision emerging slowly on the back of a turtle to the surface. the atmosphere is presented well.
i like the subtle synths, good use of filters i believe.
drum patterns were relaxing
lol, i'm not a biology major, or minor for that matter.
i'm a physics major, or i will be.
the song just reminded me of the ocean, and how waves are fomed.
yeah, i tried to make the song really chill and smooth.
thanks for the review!
was a fan
i feel like that guitar distorted instrument maybe detuned, idk but it was over kill, a little less of what ever effect was on it, way too intense, but that one mid bass synth you had that came in at :40 was pretty cool, i really liked it, probably one of my favorite synths you have made
yeah. That opening synth was just a lame cover at trying to open the song w/o having to put effort into making it's own intro ... : \ my laziness as a musician. But I am glad you liked the synth that came in after it because THAT ONE is the meat and potatoes of the song. I need to go back and give it a legitimate opening, but what I have so far is 5 mins long with smoother transitions (tho lacking much of an ending ...), and I have also mixed it with another project that I'd started yielding a promising mix ...
Very glad you enjoyed it ^___^
