Creepy ambience har

Makes you think of an amusement park eh? Well I don't know about you, but I think that's a hilarious association, cause then the AMUSEMENT park obviously hasn't done it job good enough... at all. Bah nevermind my mindless crap, I like, it's creepy and atmospheric as hell, would do an awesome job for caves and dark landscapes. Teh Thumbsee Up

Tome89 responds:

Lakeside Amusement Park is the amusement park in Silent Hill. Critically acclaimed most disturbing survival horror video game franchise in existance.

Thanks for revving SBB ^^

what

Melody sounds sorta clumsy, can't really see what you wanted to make here. The guitar sounds good and all, but there's some minor distortion all around that makes it sound much less professional. BUT I liked the style, now with some more recognisable melody you have one great track.

hay

I think I was supposed to review this when you submitted it to the contest... which is... a while ago- anyway. It sounds pretty empty, which I guess is part of the point about a lullaby- still I sure could see you take better advantage of the sound spectrum. Eqing stuff a bit lower could always do wonders since there's practically no bass in it at all- and lots of trebley timbres in it. It is a wonderful composition nevertheless :)

Fuoco responds:

Yeah, I messed with the idea of adding bass. It'd certainly sound great with it, but I have no idea on how :(
I just tought that a kid's song should be all high notes... but there's always room for improvement!
Thanks SBB! I'm a sucker for reviewing ambient songs... but I still should review yours since you spotted higher on the contest :)

heck yesh

How the hell come I haven't put you on my favourites list yet- oh wait shit I just did :o

Anyway congrats on new 1st weekly spot, you seem to have a habit of placing on that list. Now some more breakbeat when you're halfway into the song will do good, instead of the constant 4onfloor variation you've used for quite a while. I see you changed up a bit in the 4th minute- but still, a bit more of that pl0x

Great synthage and use of that synthage. Nothin' much to comment. Well done

Waterflame responds:

yay SBB :D i kinda got the idea that youre some kind of a celeb. since youre always around in the audio forum and always knows what to say/is respected. so a review from you is +2 bonus. XD

anyways, thank you! the next part of the series wont have so much 4oF in it, since im also introducing an ambience feeling later on ;D but you will get your wishes! the next one is mostly new age tehcno-ish breaks. ty ^0^

yay

The first obvious sine is crying for reverb - and I KNOW you could do some nice drummage with that sine- kick should be easy, and an uber distorted sine for snare could do it. Anyway, this song is fucking wonderful, much more than I'd expect from only sine waves. Well done!

p4c responds:

woo wooo yay me!! more response on the thread lol

Well... really....

Is it just me, or did you just slap a lot of premade loop into GarageBand, mess around a bit with the automation and then MAYBE add some of your own stuff? This sounds horribly sound-collage esque, and I notice so many overused loops being used in this very track. Sure looping around could be good practice or just fun, but if you want to go, like, a little further, I suggest you to stay away from the loops for a moment and take a bit of a deeper look into the instruments section of GarageBand. There's more potential to that program than loops.

Joegame9 responds:

oki dokey

wah

a bit of random shitz here, but it sounds good and original- the way you're sliding that piano/ethnic instrument/whatever the fuck is pretty nice, but cliché as hell. Very interesting little ditty, I don't think I've ever heard a track soundin' like this before. Well done :)

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

Thanks buddy :) oh and that asian instrument is a cimbalon...I think

I like

Tons of atmosphere was whipped in a blender and smeared all over the track, but the creator didn't realize what he was doing was he had drained the piece for everything else, and what was left was pure, raw atmosphere.

O HAI THAR

I'm loving the sidechain'd mix of kick and bass here, the kick really... kicks. The unidentified metallic percussion you use through the whole track is lovely, I suggest you ditty around with it a bit more just to make it more awesome. Not so sure of that pseudo-noiseclap thing, but that's it for percussion.

Lovely synths that fit perfectly fine for the track. Mix is perfect too, everything is crystal clear.

I can easily see something great coming out of this.

endlessnumber responds:

Well yeah, I mean at this point it's the same two bars throughout the entire song. I've gotta switch it up a little *somehow* - ditty around, if you will.

I also want to add a more original hi-hat. The 909 sample got old after the first thousand tracks that were made with it.

Thanks for the review :O

And I shit you not.

You would have won.

Rig responds:

No wai! Really? D:

Darn.

Maybe they'll send me a prize anyway.
