scene
i envision waking up in the morning and doing morningly procedures to this song. also perhaps a scene of me going through an air port
at 1:14 i really enjoyed the noise osc percussions, i felt that really helped the rhythm on this song
for once i wasn't a huge fan of the spiky snare, i felt it kind of distracted me
i enjoyed this... relaxed me
Thanks Darren.
I tried many snares for this song, with most results turning upside down...so, I fell back on a sound I was most familiar with.
this was pretty cool but
the content was interesting. i couldn't decern it all though.
you should try boosting the voice freqs you want heard, and compress out the others. set the threshold a little high and it might help cut out some of the ambience
could also use a noise gate, some reverb plugins have that
cool interview!
not ring tone! video game!
i really liked this. you did a pretty good job, and it does sound like it was supposed to , likevideo game music for megaman!
ok so i would have chosen some different things if i wanted to make this more stylized like better drum samples and etc, but you did a decent job mixing your levels and the midi programming you did was pretty damn good.
good job
Thanks a lot!
simple
i thought the vocal recording and guitar were recorded pretty good, but one think that is a must is knowing the tempo of the song to sync it to the track. a metronome helps. it helps to cut the song to a beat since at the beginning of the might be out of timing since there are no rhythm elements yet. the high hats were dead on for this one for the majority of the track. you mixed it pretty well because you didnt dominate the track and her words were still clear. you lead synth could stand to be turned down some. yes it is really hard to slice a song so that it stays on tempo if its wavering in that way. sometimes you will find that the best solution to this is manually playing it instead of letting midi note lanes do the work, otherwise it involves some tricky timeline shifts.
2:20 and 1:30 really need some work. melody wise and rhythm wise.
ruthie's voice was really nice, she sounded natural and unstrained. nice recording as well.
the percussions on this were a good selection.
for your first with vocals im impressed. but yes mixing vocals into the mix is not as simple as mixing synths, its adds a more organic saturated sound that can throw alot of mixes off.
decent work.
you should sample some things from her. for more practice. :D
this gets a 7 from me because 1. your work is at a different place than it was when you first started so i cant give you a 10 lol, and also a 7 because of the slight mixing problems andtiming issues, even though there wasnt much you could help. an honest well earned 7, for mixing vocals better than 65% NG users...probably giving them too much credit.
pleasant
i am trying hard o make happier thrance these days and its hard for me.
i will say that this song was really nice to listen to and made me feel good.
at 1:20ish i was really liking those polysynth type bell synths.
good work on this song. it was pretty good, but a little quiet i think, i though there were some parts that should have been more prominant like the lead. but in any case good work.
hmm
1:59 that tamborine is in my face, it might be appropriet to turn it down some or low pass it a litttle, needs a tiny bit o reverb maybe
the bass in this is the most prominent thing thing in this. i liked it but i felt the other nstrument were muddled around it. the bells sound like FM, synth bells, which usually go flat as they go on or over lap, this is a big problem with synth bells, although these sound pretty good.
the second higher instrument besides the bells which i might call a lead that sounds like a sine or square wave lp'ed what did you do to make that synth?
this is pretty good. actually one of your best, the sub bass at the end was great when the two parts combined but i dont understand what happened at the ending, was it supposed to flow into another song? it sounded weird the way it ended.
by the way. in my headphones from routed from my computers audio card and also from my monitors which were routed from my external card, the output is coming out as heavily on the right side, as though you master panned it to the primary right. its weird, and needs to be fixed if it is your error. otherwise im confused as to why it sounds so
Holy crap, you're not kidding - it WAS all right-panned. Didn't know I did that. I've fixed this accordingly. As for the lead, it was a gated saw. thanks so much for the review m8
interesting
this song is weird, lol great cover so far tough i think. the acid style synth you made with the weird envlope and flanger sounds really unique. im actually stuck on how you made it. i like that you keps the drums simple, i think for this song you should research some songs with 4/4 tribal sounding drum patterns. like how maybe the rhythms work in tribal or juncle type music. i do that alot. when there is some groove i just cant figure out i go to an actual song i know of with the kind of thing im going for an try to slowly work it out. but i think you have a good groove going on. also the musicality in this was really good, nothing unusual or upsetting about any of it. very easy to listen to but this piece demands attention!
good luck
6 because its a demo
brambles meets the postal service
dude that pad you have goin on that has the slow attack and mid release is probably one of the best pads i have ever heard and you totally utilized it great.
i really enjoyed the the drums patterns you chose to make. they were really fitting and relaxing. great HH work.
to me this song was nearly flawless in musicality until 1:50 with that piano. dude that needs to be fixed. stick to white keys and dont over complicate it. at 2:16 the pads musicality gets a little weird for my tastes im just not ok with what that sounds like there but i did kind of like how you structured that middle part at 3:10, fix that hichest percussive synth note it sounds off and like you are trying to mix it up when it sounds great just floating i liked most of the guitar section it had a cool sound a and went with the song and i just think some of the notes on the wave file need to be sliced and pitch shifted because there were like 2 parts musicly i didnt think belonged there, but then again this is your expression not mine so i cant agree with everything and i wouldnt expect you to do the same with mine. your last review was great because you were assertive about what you didnt like.
at 4:07 i felt you ending lost focus and you were trying to make a climax, but it was chaos to me. i had n idea what to listen to or what i was supposed to be feeling at this point, you kinda threw off the chill vibe of the song.
the very ending coming back to that pad was great.
this song is pretty good and with some tinkering, sorry but mostly of the notes not the mixing or instruments because i liked them all and you made wise choices and had a great variety, but once you get that musical part fixed it will be lush. if you want my help to do this ask me and i will get to it when i can. otherwise seek outside help if you cant hear it. dont be stubborn and think this is an insult because training your ear takes time and you have allready come a tremendous way from where you started. i still remember what it was like when people told me my early music sounded way too bizarre to be pleasant. ... im talking psychedelic dewop with circus music and alot of modulated vocals with alot of reversals...lol i dont think i ever posted them on ng.
anyway take a break from this dude you have worked so hard. you are going to wear yourself out on this song
I promise I will refrain from ReMixing this song again . . . for a while . . . at least until I build up my progressive skills . . .
well
i would have liked to have heard a wider sound more stereo because i feel this song could really take a person away. if only you could sink into it. siome how if you didthis song again work on the editingmore and really make it clean and wrap around you like a warm blanket you might try boosting some of the lower mid frequencies to get a warmer sound
beautiful song i wont forget
ice road truckers
wow
i really liked the laughing at the beginning and the percussive instrument that comes in with alot of reverb is really lush. great choice. at 1:22 i really like this pad.
at 1:40ish i would have trned the HH down a little.
i gave you a 5 for a quality track. you guys might get a better response in ambient from this track rather than hip hop.
great work on this.
Thanks Man appreciate it. I changed it to ambient.
