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!
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.
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.
Oh God Dammit.
See, here I am trying to stop enjoying techno music as much and then you go remix one of my favorite video game themes (As well as the first arena battle theme later on in the song, I hadn't read the 'author comment' that said it was in there so it was a surprise).
And as if YOU actually have to worry about not getting on OCR.
Although I think I would have enjoyed a more heavy bassline, (especially around the part where it breaks down around 0:30 in the original) I still really liked this. I enjoy your stuff because it has less emphasis on beat and more on chord progression and the more musical elements of the piece, something that I think modern techno is really lacking.
Nice image for the song as well, I can say that I did recognize it immediately. Also, is it any surprise that the company that made OMF2097 ended up creating the Unreal Engine that powers TONS of current-gen games? Epic Games. Started with Jazz Jackrabbit and ended up creating a legacy.
If you ever want internet guitar lessons you can hit me up anytime :)
Oh, and I'm listener number 666. Just thought that was funny.
haha! you're awesome for even knowing OMF's music! bonus points for it being one of your favorites too! so many people dont know about omf, easily the best thing about the game is it's music.. kenny chou (or C.C Catch) is so awesome :D
and we'll see haha, they have REALLY high standards and there's soooo many talented musicians on that site that I dont even compare lol
i'm happy you enjoyed the remix that much, especially because you're a OMF fan, and yes haha, Epic Games makes the most epic games. XD
PS: I just might!
Have a 5
And a 10.
Good work. It's been a while, and you seem to have improved a lot.
I don't really have much advice to give you other than watch the clipping on your filters around 3:12. Whenever I use a resonance filter like that, I always put a "Hard limiter" compressor on whatever track I have that on so when it goes up and down the spectrum it doesn't clip.
Keep writing and rocking man!
haha i tried the limiter and it sounded perfect :D haha thanks for the advice.
also glad you liked the song, i put alot of work into it :P
Awesome!
That tone is sexytastic. What Line 6 product has these tones to them? I'm using a Line 6 Spider III amp, and I couldn't get that tone out of it if I tried for hours.
Also, how do you record yourself? Just kind of wondering how different artists on NG do it.
This is the podx3, with downloaded tone from line 6's tone library. You can browse by artist, genre, guitarist, band....and when you find a tone you click "get tone" depending on your set up, humbuckers or single coils... and it loads the tone into the podx3 empty channel. If you like it, you can save it there forever.
I use cool edit pro for recording. (Now adobe audition or something)
It's old, but it still outdoes all the new ones in my opinion. Also, uses hardly any memory. SO a mixdown of 20 channels of a 4 minute song takes like...5 seconds.
Thanks man, glad you dig it.\m/
I like make the sound go "bwaaaww"
