whee

that start was funny. Later on it sounded pretty good, though I'm not really a fan of vocals and bass being everything in there. Didn't get all of the lyrics, but the lot I get is pretty entertaining stuff. I don't know, never listen to Hip Hop - Olskhool

Scribbler responds:

Not many people listen to Olskool Hip Hop... They need to! It's a medicine but hey, I really appreciate the review and yeah, most of the lyrics consist of inside jokes and "how many times can I swear within a minute." Still, I am proud of this song. Haha.

loller

That notes the arp plays in the start sounds weird much like the arp in my pulse song- either a coincidence or something else. O who? only guy I can think of there is ocon but he doesn't need to learn the basics at all... This is from the first second a party track, maybe even a bit happy for that, gotta be something trippin' with mushrooms n shite

Percussion has some nice effect... can't hear if it's phaser, chorus or flange. Anyways, it makes the percussion sound a tad thin, nothing big though. Now add delay and you'll have a serious ambient influence to it :P

Lead sounds pretty good, much more filled and less thin than last time now. You made it... poly?
Cause I hear a lead melody and a baseline at the same time with very similar synths. If you did- that's an original touch!

Evolves into a massive party feeling, actually incredibly well done structure, it has these up and down energy levels with a climax in the middle... that's great. Only thing is the ending, which is just a fade-out

Great stuff as usual, now why don't you just tell me who the other guy is

Karco responds:

The arp's probably a coincidence - my friend was the one who made the original bassline we started with and built on and I don't think he's ever listened to your song. Nope, he's not OCON. ;) Unfortunately that last sentence in the first paragraph makes nearly no sense to me. "This is from the first second a party track..." What?! XD

It's a phaser.

Yep, what you're describing is pretty much what we did - and the low part is actually played by the same synth. Glad you like it. :)

Incredibly well-done structure? Well, I wouldn't go that far... :P Honestly I find it to be pretty basic. Yeah, the ending's a fadeout - remember that my friend's a beginner with FL Studio... I didn't want to try to teach too much at once, I had already gone over so much. :P Though in our next collab I'll make it a big point to have a good ending.

As usual. :D

I already said, he's a friend of mine. :P Not going to say much else. Thanks for the review, SBB, glad you like it. :)

well k

lacks intergration, but the parts sounds pretty damn good, it's just that you don't put the melodies toghether good enough.

Drums sound ok, but really if you added morme than a kick and a cymbal it would sound much, much better. Vocals sound pretty good though I don't get what it says. Bass is good tho. so is leady

pretty good work on this one

dj-zein responds:

I'm not experienced with making songs, so these kinds of reviews are highly appreciated. Also, the vocal says "prepare for annihilation".

Chopped like meat

This would fit in a future kind of game with machines going around and humping each other. Loops almost perfectly. Drums sound tiiiiiiiiny, some stuff sounds like it's coming out of a machine too. (well technically it's doing exactly that but you get the idea) The rest of the stuff is pretty messy, yet structured in a nice way

Hmmm... brambling to fill up space, hope you like my brambling

LJCoffee responds:

brambling eh? OK, then I'll bramble right back for a bit. Drums are quite tinny, there's a lot of low end in the bass and the growls and what not so I rolled off the low freqs on the "drums" for a bit of contrast. A cheap trick, yes - but I like the end result. No matter - the drums in this are all basically just a little noise and some modulation. Barely shaped static really...

Wow

Sounds sharp,scratchy and unmastered. Almost like if it's clipping, the lead's disortion is a bit too much on the crazy side. The drums are punchy, very repetitive though. All the leads mix together in a pretty chaotic song. Had to turn down my speakers to almost nothing for it not to be ear-hurting. However you have done a great job with the melody and assembly of parts and all that stuff, so it's not totally letting me down tho :P.

Pretty good job which would sound great if you mastered stuff and shaped stuff with filters and whatnot.

Shenkhar responds:

Eh, thats what I get for releasing stuff in a hurry.. I agree that it is unmastered. Also, the drums are often the weakpoint of my work. Thanks for this helpful critisism.

Yayage!

At first the disortion thingy you had annoyed me a bit, but that mallet instrument thing you have there is damn great. Strings as usual, chords sound basically... good, and they fit nicely in. Drum sound like it's panned a bit too much to the left. Flute is great too. Awesome work!

MaestroRage responds:

the drums sound too panned? Odd, I do not remember putting a pan on it. Though I may very well have done so as I was having some mastering issues early on in the game for this piece.

The flute is an area of debate between listeners. Some feel it's good, some feel it's crap. The overall concept of this piece is geared towards making it sound as RPG'ish as possible. The site that shut down forever is called RPGWolfpack.com

it now links to another site, at least for the time being...

In any case, thank you for the review SBB, i'm glad you liked it!

bah

I made a song sounding very much like this one once- noise and lonely synths- but my song is a 11 minutes long mofo >:(

Anyways, this would do incredibly good in certain scenes in flashes. Very creepy, like if there's something huge coming this way

Bass is so damn deep, it kills my headphoneys- I want my old ones >:( but it sounds pretty random and stuff- a bit off tempo

The white noise- if that's rain or wind, then there's a lotta low frequencies in it- I know a bandpass filter at the middle would make it sound more realistic, cause I tried putting a bandpass filter on your song :P

Synth could use to be more up and front, it's a bit hard to hear behind all the noise

Good stuff, way too short though

Astrono responds:

I see, thanks for the constructive review.
Yeah, i know about the shortness, made this a while ago when i still made a lot of short songs.
Although this would work out good as a loop, and about the noise, i think it could be put at a lower volume indeed.
About the bass, that's the unique thing of this song, the deepness of the bass which add a creepier effect combined with the lonely synths.

ba

nice song you've got here, way too repetitive and robotic for my taste though. Lead doesn't sound all that good- something even more generic maybe

Bass is a tad low, and repetitive that too

FX sounds pretty good, nice touch with these EQ/resonance sweeps. Don't overdo it though. Piano has some weird effects on it- sounds great. overall a pretty decent trance song, nothing near my taste though

Hey hit me back homie yo ^_^

Electrick responds:

Hey dude, thanks for the review. I told you this was a quick one. So I didn't master it very well. Still, thanks for the review!

bah

why didn't the burgerman make an animation with HIM singing that in the credits- to me, it seems b-m-inc's vocals would fit a big burger with huge eyes so damn good

Anyways great stuff, nothing to suggest- wait, drums sound a bit low, maybe making all drums except cymbalism louder

DarKsidE555 responds:

Because you suck. lollers. Big wtfbomb at ur faic! >: (

Word homes! Thanks for da reviewzness!

yay

synth has a lil weird attack value, but the melody is great and it sounds pretty good. I like how you do that sharp effect thing- sounds like you're filtering it up or whatever

The choir thing sounds very very very fake, can't really say if it should be considered a fake choir or a great pad :D

The song has no progression whatsoever, and damn it feels empty. I could see such a lot more in this. It'd be a killer track!

Good job, keep working on it!

Imn responds:

I will definitely work on this. I wanted to see what others thought of my first ambient track.

I don't have very many samples, and I made the choir sample I had so high-pitched that it sounds fake, sadly. I can look at what else I have and maybe replace it with something much better.

It's very short and, as you said, feels empty. I do feel there is some progression, but not much.

Thanks again for the review, I will extend the track!
