Hey guess what.
I liked this song. It was fucking weird. Seriously out of my range of tastes, but the melodic bits without the bassy synth really got my attention.
It eventually starts to sound like fakie dubstep tho, and I HATE dubstep. So minus 1 star.
I also like your FX at 2:19 on your basslines. I kinda lol'd, I love when people infuse music with slightly comical elements.
Anyway, have fun with your song on the weekly "All Time Top Scoring" list. Kick some ass!
Thanks, I'm glad you enjoy it. And yeah, most of my songs are pretty weird and probably out of a lot of
peoples' tastes.
And what's to hate about Dubstep? It actually takes more work to produce than pretty much every other genre I've experimented with. I understand what you mean if you just dislike drums and a wobble bass because honestly that sounds pretty bad, however I think I pull off a more "musical" dubstep with some of my other songs. :P
And just so you know I have three songs on the All Time Top Scoring list this week. ;)
On your way to becoming a songwriting badass.
Definitely not a bad song at all. I actually smiled when I listened to your note choice around 0:34+
All you need is better drumkit stuff, a bassline and some mixing/mastering/EQ work on the guitars to bring them out and polish them up. You're well on your way to making people jealous of your talents, just keep it up :D
well thankyou for your generosity :) well i lack certain things such as equipment, :/ sowftware i have been teaching myself to play many instruments xD BUT good news is im getting a new guitar tomorrow :)
Very nice.
Seems like you've improved quite a bit since the last thing I've heard of yours.
Very nice guitar stuff there, the riffs are biting and the quick bits are lashing and lovely. Nice buildups and transitions as well. Personally I'm not a fan of the "Crazy and somewhat Formless" style of solo. But I can respect it and you do it fairly well.
I do have to say that the drum stuff is pretty weak, and I kind of wish there was some variation in the bassline but this is still damn sexy overall.
Hey! Burn7! It's been a while! Yea thanks man... I try! tee-hee....
I'm no lead guitarists, so I just try to do funky little whatevers when I Feel the rhythm needs a little whatever... Whatever... Right? I think that's from all the megadeth I've listened to over the years.... Dave Mustaine always has amazing lead guitarist and when he plays lead he sounds like like a fucking nut job.... I'm not comparing my overall skill to Dave... Just comparing my mind set and problem solving skills to him... AHAHHAHHAHA
And with the drums! Bahh! you're all such critics! haha.... I'll probably change 'em one day... so any one who has enjoyed this song should just keep checking back every once in a while.
One more thing..... You just made my day.... I love my music being sexy, cause that's fuckin' sexy in itself! Boom!
Fucking nice.
Absolutely sick. I have immense respect for you to be able to do this. I totally understand the frustration that remixing can dole out. And this was pretty fucking fantastic. I especially liked your variations on the melodies and rhythms.
Keep writing shit. You know you want to.
Actually Jordan Raymond remixed the guitars and wrote the orchestra parts. This was a collab. song him and I did way back in the day but I just resampled the guitars recently. I wrote the drums and some of the synths.
I'll keep writing music but I won't be passing it out here. My original work stays with me, and my closest friends, from now on.
Okay, okay...
Fine. I'll fucking review this song. Only because reading your lyrics made my face do this @.@,
And then this O.o
And then this :D
The song itself is pretty cool overall, I like a few of the riffs in there and the lyrics are... alright, I'm starting a new paragraph for the lyrics.
Amazing.
That is all.
If you ever want a guest vocalist, just ask me. Because I could write something wondrous to go right along with what you've got.
I also like how you're all laughing throughout the whole thing. Metal and humor go together like Pancakes and a box of nails. But as long as you're into blood, then it's a pretty good combination.
Thanks man.
Yeah, I didn't want to edit out the laughter. Leaving it in was funnier!
Cheers and beers!
Not bad. But not good forever.
Interesting, I liked the melody but I think if I had to sit there and listen to it loop like this forever in a game I think I would kill myself. It had better be intended to be like Town music in an RPG or something because if this was constantly playing as I was playing the game I'd shoot myself.
Do you want real, real 8-bit synth? Use Tweakbench Peach, Triforce, or Toad. They're all emulators of that certain sound chip that give the Game Boy/ Nintendo/ Famicom it's signature sound.
Also, it's just an issue with .mp3's in general. They are all given this small (but very noticeable when trying to loop) silence gap at the beginning and end of the song. There is no way to remove it, so having a "perfect loop" with mp3s is impossible.
Don't kill yourself, please! Yeah, it's a bit on the short side. Even I find it to start getting on my nerves after awhile.
I'll be checking out the synths you listed for my next early video game song. The hardest part of this piece for me was findings good sounds.
Thanks for your insight on MP3s. That's sort of the conclusion I came to after hours of struggling. It was driving me CRAZY. I wish we could upload WAVs or FLAC files, but then, they take up much more space, I guess.
I don't like Dubstep.
But I love glitch and harder-styled techno, so this was still really good in my opinion.
I'm one of those people that just doesn't get dubstep. It really does sound like a bunch of synths just going apeshit with the FX during a slow ass beat. The climb before the chorus seems to just leave it's crescendo power behind the moment the chorus actually begins because of the speed of the build vs. the slower chug of the breakdown. Maybe that's because they synths sound like they overpower the beat, and if the choral beat was heavier/louder (Maybe to the point where it cuts into the dub synths) then it wouldn't sound almost like a letdown for me.
The synths during the chorus are indeed badass, but I feel that it holds too much of it's power in the lower end of the spectrum. Maybe that's because I'm wishing there was a higher pitched, harder, heavy lead that actually has melody to it. Here's why I say that:
Because as far as I can tell your melodic content is limited to the same 4 notes. Maybe if you gave it something else I would have been satisfied because I'm absolutely a melody man and a I know a lot of classically trained ears out there search for melody as well.
That being said, I really enjoyed the glitch you occasionally pulled with the center heavy dub synth during the chorus. It kept me interested since it was pretty damn cool.
I can also respect the mixing in this, even if it was done in Fruity Loops which makes mixing/mastering much easier with the amount of plug-ins they have for Techno stuff.
Finally, I do recognize goddamn good techno when I hear it, even if it's not really a genre I listen to. And this is pretty good goddamn techno. So props to you and all that.
Overall I enjoyed it, I listened to it around 6 or 7 times looping until I decided "I need coffee". Your song is good, but it's just not enough to wake me up in the morning. I need my substances.
Damn you people and your interesting metal.
Now I'm gonna have to start trying harder to write awesome metal like this. I mean, sure, I could... but then again why try when I can just keep covering Pokemon songs? I don't need originality! There's plenty of people out there who can do that.
Like you! By the way, your distortion is really sexy. How to you achieve this? What's your amp/FX/EQ setup?
Although I've never had one....
Now I know what it feels like.
Nice kind of chromatic, unscaled piece. I love pieces like this that have a kind of tortured, mad feel to them.
Listening to the whole thing I really enjoyed it, I would however recommend varying the Velocity on your notes (I'm assuming this is midi). Changing the velocity (or perhaps even the volume) to match the intensity or message of your piece gives it a little more life, and in a song like this I think having quick crescendos and decrescendos would be really cool. Perhaps it would add in another level of anxiousness to this already very sporadic piece.
I know that this is a WiP, but the ending to me was really interesting how it just stopped and the verb trailed off. If this is how you're planning on ending the piece, I think it's a pretty badass idea.
Nice work!
Means a lot coming from you dude! I am gonna start working on it again, I have to many WIPs, so I need to knock down that list.
Nice composition.
I enjoyed all of the different instrumental renditions of the song individually quite well. I would say you should use more lead-ins and transitions though because a lot of the tempo changes were rather abrupt.
Unfortunately, your song suffers from the same thing that most otherwise good videogame remixes suffer from: Repetitiveness Try writing a counter-melody, or a different harder lead. Just SOMETHING to break the repetition that bleeds a lot of good videogame remixes like this dry and makes them forgetful in the long run.
Another good review with some nice constructive criticism! I like those kinds of reviews!
Yeah, next time I redo Tetris, I might mix in the other themes, to kinda break the repetition. Thanks for the advice, and your review! It's been a while since I've heard from you.
I like make the sound go "bwaaaww"
