[[MS] - Schyrztawek]

hello randomness

This is a cool track. Did you only assemble them with loops? Then this is pretty damn good.

I loved the start, with random effects and all, very cleverly done. The next followup with the beat was good, very nice and smooth variations in the beat too. I liked the subtle and kept under bass and melodies.

The use of fx in this song is great, you make them fit just where it should be. Some parts doesn't sound very good with it though, and there are many FX sounds I don't understand what it even is.

And there are parts with only few instruments, which sounds scary and a little nooby, but the parts that lay on it are so well done that it doesn't matter

The build is good, very random, still so structured and nice. I dig it for shur as you may understand now also here's my dick

MackerelSalad responds:

Hm, I think using FX and affecting em so you just can't recognize 'em anymore, is just better than making people know where you got the samples.
I mean, listen to all the Fl Studio noobs, whose submissions just are crowded with always the same shitty claps or cymbals, or Sytrus pre-sets, and so on. Using a crappy sample and editing it so it works fine with the track is much more interesting.
The switch to 3/4 and a sorta caroussel-ish melody was my friend's idea. To make it a bit scary, I used two instances of the same absynth, blurred one of them with vocoder, and put screams through the carrier, to make some interesting sounds. Then I often switched between just one Absynth, and the vocoded one, like heard in the caroussel-bit.

Anyway, thanks for the helpful review!

about this song

...I'll just go with "yay"

Chao-Guy responds:

Simple and sweet. Fine by me!!

Keep it up!

[Ambi Vibes 2]

Yeah, this sounds better

Very nice low density reverb on it. But next time remember it's SBB not SSB :)

[Ambi Vibes]

yay!

you made something that's not a vg remix! yay! I love this song. It's worth a download. Pretty awesome use of pads in it. the rhytmic synth is so great too.

Nice synths later into the song too, chordish.

Percussion is very great, but if you made it a little less tight and reverbed it somewhat it would sounds crazy good, especially for the ambient feeling.

It's a tad short, ambient songs tend to be long, but I see why you didn't continue this, it's very repetitive and sounds hard to do anything with at all.

I fixed up the drums and subited # 2. thankyou for the review and sugestions.

[Ultimate Basshunter Song Remix]

kickass really.

I did review your track but it happened to be half a day later XD

the start has this annoying clipping, but it doesn't last that long. Very nice chord lead, but the melody you had after a while sounded mroe like the classic kick buildup for techno and dnb songs... which you very cleverly used a little later into the song.

the drums later on are good, very simple yet effective as hell. Nice piano and other orchestral references here.

It goes on though much repetition. then there's this new part. More clipping. Ooh harp... cool.

then there's this awesome part with poly synths and all. Now it sounds more anthem-like than anything else.

Holy fuck that got annoying after a while, with the square wave kicks... now it's getting all corny and seriously sharp. It's hard to listen to because of the bas quality and terrible mastering. Sorry, I can't go any farther.

I don't want to listen to basshunter songs but I want to listen to this song instead. so could you please upload that full quality mp3 somewhere. :3

x-Exodus-X responds:

i will send it to you if you give me your email. its much too big to upload onto the sight. the harp and non-basshunter harmonies/melodies were made by me, the whole distorted kick gabber part was made by DJ Davinster. thanks for the review, glad you liked it overall!

[.:I will:.]

Overwhelming indeed

sounds like you took a speech out of somewhere without doing anything... you could always remove the noise but maybe you kept it there on purpose.

There is so much reverb here, the reverb makes a new pad which almost makes a melody, but not quite. Good melody, very nice choir, how'd you get it like that.

and look who's talking about abrupt endings. >8(

RedHotPoker responds:

Lol almost a melody. I'm gettin slightly better. :)

Na the speach was created in speakonia with (guess what) reverb boshed on the end. So yes it sounds shit but i like it all the same. :D

The choir was just slowed down from a recording i found on my hard drive.

And as for the abrupt ending, WELLLLL EXCUSSSSSSEE ME. ( I suppose i was a bit hypocritical but i'll stand by my words.

[Karco -- Falling Farther --]

HI KARCO ^_______________^

YAY HI KARCO ^_______________^_^_^_^_^_^^^^ your name isn't very original btw

okay for the review I guess...

The piano in the start sounds like it's being played on the radio... or even like you recorded it from something else... what did you do with it. It'd sound much better if you made sound closer. The melody is good, I guess you're knowing how to play it well since you managed making a melody like this. It's smaking harmony with the rest of the instruments and melodies, but it's a little hard to go further into detail when the song is as short as this. When the strings come in it makes an impression of something huge forward on the song, so does the sudden snares (which might like some reverbitation and softening). But it never goes any farther than that point. I think you should continue on this one. It's really short. The end of it has a very cheap singe noted string, I'm surprised you didn't use a chord there, or at least made it a minor octave deeper.

eww long paragraph

Overall this is a great idea for a song, and a very good way to make drama into a piece. But I don't think this is enough as a whole song. I'm seeing it's a "bit" of your latest so I suppose you'll make it longer.

Karco responds:

Woah, what? Crazy smiley. I suppose it's what I get when I haven't submitted for a month... (Actually, I think my name's pretty original. Would YOU have thought of it? :P)

The piano sounds like that because I filtered it that way. Don't worry, it's my composition.

You made the right assumption with "bit of my latest..." almost. This is actually the ending of a song that's more than twice as long which I'm not going to submit. It really doesn't do the rest of the song justice but stood well on it's own, so I thought I'd submit it.

Not much else to add... thanks for the review, SBB. :) I should be getting around to reviewing your two latest which I haven't reviewed in the near future, too...

[[TMM43]Hot [?]]

Sounds like a build up

This could've done a really good build-up for a song if you got away the disortion and shaped the synth to make it rounder and made it longer. Good work so far also I'll review some more of this later
