it's all so messed up

Lots of the synths you got mixed into that kinda overflow each other, especially in the start, there's some small overcompressed parts in it... The synths you used sound pretty nice thoe, and it all sounds pretty catchy. Drums feel too fast, that may be because the tune is hell of a fast thing itself. But I'd rather use a snare than that clap

WritersBlock responds:

Hey, man. Thanks for the tips and criticisms. Yeah, I've never managed to get a drum loop just perfect, I just went with something that goes with the pumping vibe.
Cheers for the review.

cool stuffz

The weird percussion stuff and blobby bass in the start made it sound sorta random, but as it moved on it turned into a bit more of awesomeness. The percussion lines you got sound pretty damn great, those snares were maybe a bit high but whatever

Cool saxual intercourse, I felt that, spanish you say, was sorta out of place, but it worked

nice interesting chune here

thanks for the listen
;ped

Cool

I felt the panning of the different synths turned out a little annoying after a while, my left ear started hurting after a while. You know it's quite a cool rhapsody you got going there with many nice video game melody licks and stuff, but it quite loses it feeling when it's only two different synths there. If you had some cool drums there your tune would be hell of a lot better. To be honest, I scrolled forwards after a while, looking at what was the parts. And it's pretty much the same stuff all the time. So yeah, prety boring. There's lots of room for improvments

Cool

those drums sound very programmed like, but at least you used some pretty neat samples. I love the fx usage here, really gives it its own style. Did you play that guitar yourself? Cause if you didn't that's the best sampled guitar ever... but it's great if you played it yourself, of course! Great stuff

InsaneSmilie responds:

The drums were done with the DSL soft synth power drum set in ACID Pro. Yes they were midi but real drums don't give the echoy percussive sound I was looking for. As for the guitar riffs, they were recorded by my partner Chris. We're trying to form an industrial band, but right now it's just me and him, got alot of projects in the works though. Thanks for reviewing.

well

I felt it didn't quit have the same POWER as the original. I mean, you sorta stripped the dynamics and rhytm from it. Other than that, I think you did a pretty swell job remixing it.

Rig responds:

Yeah...the rhythm and dynamics of 4:33 are one-of-a-kind - I just couldn't reproduce it. :(
Thanks for the review!

Great

Great use of ethnic instruments! They blend real well with the synths and fx. TONS of fx here, which isn't overwhelming though (and that's good) Again there's this airy frequency slide with the supersaw- nice climaxage you did there. I was thinking about this as being a boring ethnic tune as I saw the title, but I was happily surprised

F-777 responds:

Thanks man so much for the review.

Ooh that's airy

Very airy tune. Sooo epic composition and structure too. The drums and synths mix greatly. The tiny saw synth in the very middle was sort of a low point in the song, but really my favourite part. Try making it even more straightforward and sharp if you know what I'm trying to saw, and add a louder reverb and it'd be really really awesome.

Anyways, I haven't got too much to say. But it's been favourited

F-777 responds:

Wow thanks man =D.

Yummy

The resonant synth- you might want to change that, because as of now, because all the resonance makes it sound backwards and gives it a slurping effect- which I don't personally like. But that's all about opinion, so you may keep it like that if you like it that way. The high pitched synth lead sounds just a tad thin- you could either detune it more or take it an octave lower- but again, opinions. It sounds sorta metallic.

Loved the square lead, the portamento adds a trancy feeling. Drums are nice and heavy, but I could see that 4 on the floor pattern coming from a mile away. Not so original :P still some nice hat rhytms which I really loved.

Great work, I like this one.

yeh

I find it way too basic- it's some distorted bass with very plain and basic sounding drums (The "woodblock" thing was completely out of place, but that's not the point). There's some good melodies and all, but the distorted lead doesn't really fit that melody well at all. Some fillers would add much, much more to this looper

whuh

Pretty awesome idea to base a song on a friggin BBS signature... You did a good job with that, though the song isn't too appealing musically wise. Also, wtf, the yiffer sounds like a skinny, gay dog than anything else when it's saying 'yi'

Rad responds:

Eh, the things that come about from boredom... Sorry if this sounds suck up-ish but it's an honor having you review my song, even if it is the result of a brain fart and half a days worth of work.

Yeah 2 drum loops and 2 synth instruments on top of my sliced voice, lawl diverse isn't it!

The high pitched "yiff" is the result of me having a deep voice in real life, and overshooting my goal when I said the vocal part.

Either way, it's been a pleasure having you review my result of messing around with my voice and a music program, thanks SBB!
