Sounds experimental

I felt the intro with only one lead and a kick once in a while was a bit long, you could've developed it a bit faster and that way made it sound much more professional/interesting. In my opinion. The rest of the song is much better, though you only added one thing it's like you added a lot.

I would've submitted this to the Video Game genre as it sounds like an oldschool game in a dungeon or somehting.

Ok I'll review a few more of these. laters.

R-VeeBee responds:

Thanks dude!

You're right.. Well, usually my experiments are only about concept and not really about much diversity and fast development. You're right about that.. It's a boring too long intro. But it could work for some people though.. but well.. anything would work for them so, hehe. :)

It has got video game-like synths and stuff maybe, but it has more like a techno-ish tune, not a full recognizable melody like in game music!

Thank you for the review, glad you liked it overall!

Peace,
R-VeeBee

weird that's it

seems like a breathing sound and a a little fx in the start... then it gets this weird squeaky shaking thing until you release the track- which is underlying and shakey. The whole song seems to be based on the various fx sounds in it... which makes it weird and wonderful at the same time. I don't know what this mastering thing is but wtf

Rucklo responds:

Thanx mate! Most samples are foley samples recorded with a H4-zoom, fun little gadget! Basicly everything is made from skratch, a few samples in the drum loop is not though.

Check this thread to learn a little about how I performed the mastering;

yup

Seriously who wants to have a machine in their face. That would just be annoying and hurt like a bitch. If the machine is really big like a train motor or something you'd have to use a crane to lift your head as you're going, and who wants to do that all day. You'd end up being a lazy fucker who can hardly do anything more than moving around your head. I heard you could drag it out if you got a doctor/mechanican hybrid, then you could possibly wait a minute

This is a song?!?!?

oh...

the pizzapuzza sounds really good, it's giving an own feeling to the whole song. You could possibly have made the reverb and delay a bit less dominant, I'm clearly hearing this annoying atmospheric noise you get by over-reverbing something and the delay just makes that effect louder. If you did that on purpose it was a bad bad decision in my opinion

And now it's some crazy drum things... very well diversed, and you made it fit the track entirely (which is the art of not going too much in the drum work itself). They sound a bit crazeh for my taste, but they make it good fo'sho

I like your new part with choir and deep burning pad... nothing to comment here, nothing wrong with anything. The drum only parts you have once in a while are quite long and could need something besides the drums in it. Sound effects you know? :D

Nice progression and build-up, overall a great hybrid of far-apart genres. More of the sub bass plz

SineRider responds:

Shut the fuck up >8(

roffle

HouseMasta's "remix" sounds about the same... except it being more dynamic and faster... so, I guess that you could read the review I left him (which is about 4-5 reviews before this one)

So now I should apparently rewrite that review entirely and credit you for about everything >:[

EchozAurora responds:

Probably. I did like the way that he mixed it though.. it's like he fed the song a pound of sugar or something.

Review

The pad you used in the start with a droppling square sound sounds very dominant and much more electronic than the rest of the pads. this could use some simple bassnotes too. Good pads used in this, nothing super-special but you made them fit together. The reverb on pretty much everything kills a little, but it's ok

I like this track, and the seeing the universe born image was about what I got when I listened to this track. Good job.

SolusLunes responds:

Eh, I didn't use TOO much reverb.

Any suggestions on the type of bass? I'd appreciate any and all kinds.

Indeed minimal

The start was incredibly dull and empty... you could've done mroe out of it than a low rez kick and a clap eh? Good that the following part sounds good though, Liked how you made the pade come in panning from the left speaker and then when it's at it's full put it into both of the speakers. Cleverly done!

the following beats and melodies all fit very well, they're very glitchy and makes a really awesome glitch/IDM feeling. The VG FX that comes in later is overwhelming and makes the song super messy, but that's how IDM is I guess :) Pretty nice square pad you got in a little before the end, maybe the thing I liked most of it.

Holy hell this song is long! It's still not done! The end was like the start, pretty cheap, but the song's main part really makes it out!

Great IDM/Video Game, have a 4/5!

(also it'd be awesome of you if you hit me back with a review too- but you don't need to)

Squarears responds:

this trk is supposed to be representative of the good old days of games consoles, so the cheap sounds are very much purposeful. As for the start being very dull, i disagree, the intention with this track was to build, and if you find 8bars of drums dull then maybe it's your attention span that should be called into question.
I would also like to add that I dont think the song gets messy at any point, perhaps it sounds more messy than it is in reality, as here it's only at 96kbps, if you hear it at 128kpbs or 192kbps, even better:) the space of the mix is far more apparent, but what can you do.
Reviewed one of your ambient tracks, very nice indeed.
Thanks for the honest review.

ms rave...

what does that mean... Microsoft Rave? Is that some new workstation program them bastards created :D

pretty good tune here, awesome pads. They have a very breathing sound, you could've made the effect even clearer with more gain on the super-high frequency and more velocity on the noise...

The leads have great melodies, they're all very catchy, but they don't have the nice feeling that most soft leads have. work on it.

What be this? GarageBand preset effect samples? :O

Very nice buildups in this. The way you got in a beat (which is good- though it's a bit too gabbertechno-ish and repeatative for my taste) too is very nice

Nice track you've got here dude. I wouldn't call this a rave, it's a bit soft and changes the style about ALL the time...

Five and ten for you. It's awesome to see how popular you are around here too :)

Music-story responds:

ehh? garage band presets? I actually made the effects with my drum kits. If you read my past review (not sure which one) I said I made around 95% (or at least for sure 90%) of the special effects with kits. This means that I had to play the keyboard to make the special effects. I didn't know gb3 had presets like this. I could of saved myself alot of time. MS stands for music story. Yeah mastering is an issue but at the end of the song I wanted the chaos feeling so I purposely made it hard to hear the notes. Using like 17 different features in my music program in the last 20 or so seconds of my song...of course it wouldn't be clear no matter how hard I tried to master it. Done on purpose...system crash. The song was not supposed to be soft. I know you expect soft stuff from me considering all my other songs are soft, but these NG ppl love raves so much it's funny. I made one to satisfy them rave lovers. :) I'm really not too worried about the mastering. The composition is the hardest part which not many can do, but mastering...well tons of people can do that very well. I'll just ask someone to master my tracks for me. Yah lazy me. :) Thanks for the review...quite nice I might add.

awesome piece

but why the fuck do everybody leave before they even got regulars... now you'll remember me as a complete dumbfuck damnit

the flute was the best aspect of it, the thrills later on the flute came to it on perfect timing.
Piano sounds good, a little bare though.
Guitar sounds really good, though not very diverse...

not much to say except for awesome work!
bye a bit late :(

aspachi responds:

Not very Diverse? Aww, come on! That's Perfect Diversity I put out onto That song! Though you right about my Piano, a Little Bare....Hey, i'm Coming back to NG! ^_^

STOP TELLING ME WHAT TO DO!!!!!!

First you're telling me to turn the noise off, and then telling me to shut the fuck up, thinking you can just demand me to rave (which is not my style at all DICKS GRR) and friggin dance to your stupid fucking beat. (jk)

having that said, this is a cool track. The main synth is damn great with the spacy square. Could like to see more diversity here though.

also, GENERIC GABBER KICK FOUR TIMES A MEASURE

Father-of-Death responds:

xD

w,e

i like teh gabber kick though, it's just my opinion

but thnx for this review...

the one you reviewed for "lion king" scared me...

hahahahahahaha!

first SORRY FOR MY LAST REVIEW, lol I wasn't serious, just wanted to see how you'd respond if I acted like a grumpy old man :D It has a core of truth thou :/

This isn't half bad! The guitar soundfont sounds quite realistic compared to other guitar soundfonts *chuckles* I've heard.

this needs more than just guitar and drums >:(>:(>:(>:(>:(>:( SBB angreh

Father-of-Death responds:

you are allways angreh bout somethin haha!

but thnx for the reviews man!
