All right, normally I'd try to make some dumb joke or a witty comment to break the ice but I was lurking around the BBS when the drop happened and it sorta made me jump.

- The synth quality (particularly ones during the drop) was freaky awesome. In a good way.
- The drums could use some variety or variations, and sometimes I feel like the drums is buried under the other synths (in terms of volume).
- The ending was a nice twist, but you should give some more time (i.e. add in a few more seconds) to let the synths ring out a little. Either that, or reduce/cut off the reverb and delay on the weird...uh, siren synth.

TL;DR
The track is pretty awesome, but if you polish the rough edges it'll be even better.

Jittlez responds:

wow. thank you for letting me know all this! it really helps, and your spot-on. i think i might just do/fix most of that!

Hello there! Some notes:

- You didn't really do anything that makes this stand out from the original, besides slowing the tempo down and transposing the notes.
- The drums, particularly the kick, is buried deep in the track. You could barely hear it. Try bumping the volume of the kick or lowering the volume of the other synths.
- That sweep is way too loud. Turn that down too.
- It ended very abruptly. Like, there isn't even space to let the lead synth ring out a little.

tl;dr in terms of remixing you didn't do much with the track, either the synths were really loud or that you gave the drums a lower priority when you're mixing, and it ended as quickly as it started.

AMG U USED HTE AMEN BRAEK REPORT 4 KOPIRITESSSSSS

*ahem* Uh...yeah. Sorry about that.
About the track:

- the beat could use some variation every now and then
- that weird "dipping" synth is...a bit off. Try using a plucky-ier synth.
- it...doesn't loop cleanly. Yes, that is a valid criticism.
- the drums and piano sounds pretty decent (sound quality wise)
- the bass shouldn't have that much portamento (sliding from one note to another)

TBH I can't really say much about it, since there's not much going on (and that I'm a sub-par reviewer *cough cough*). The track will improve, however, if you spend more time and love (yes, that's right) on it.

OMG CALL THE BREAK POLICEE!!!!111

jeesus, great review for such a short song
-totally agree, though its only 1 minute and I have to say I didn't spend long on this at all
-ohh that synth, yeah no I agree with that
-Yep, maybe I'll stop it being a loop haha only realised it didn't loop rhythmically after uploading
-awesome thanks
-maybe I agree that the port. could be turned down a little but I quite like it gliding. I am thinking the Bbs maybe should be As at first though

can't believe you had so much to say for this haha. But thanks for the great review, this is why I like ng

Holy shit. I'll let that be the opening words to this review.

- The whole thing feels very spacious, breathy and atmospheric. In a good way.
- The melody is something moody and spacey. I really like it.
- The drums sound very nice. Like, it fits just fine with the rest of the track. The snare, lacking low-end but just has the right amount of snappiness to it.
- I've noticed that there are some sound clipping throughout the song. I'm guessing that it's intended. Also apparently, it loops seamlessly with the intro.
- Only complaint is that it's too loud. I had to put the NG player's volume to 11 to get comfortable. Or maybe I have sensitive ears.

TL;DR very atmospheric and chilly song, drums were top notch in terms of sound quality and composition (idk what the term is when you make drum parts), a bit loud but that's not really something to whine too much about

Thrixe responds:

Geez, thanks for that nice review! Yeah, the "clipping" in the intro and outro was intentional :) Thank you for your response, very informational

Nice loop, but too short to be considered a WIP. Try extending it for...I don't know, 20-30 seconds?
Give it meaning (is this the intro, the verse, or the bit where the breaks go nuts?).

DefTeaMachine responds:

Yeah I agree that it was way too early to post this.

This part is probably going to be in that bit where the breaks go nuts

Well, I don't know what bolisa was on about there not having enough elements, but this is good. I mean, it's video game (sorta 80's sounding) music. They tend to have not a lot of stuff going on at the same time.

Anyway, I feel like this piece is lacking a bassline. Or maybe there is one, and I'm just deaf.

Um...okay, I'm not really sure what to make of this.

But this track definitely sounds perfect as background/ambient music for some freaky sci-fi game/animation. The drums has to go though (or at least make them a lot quieter or not be made of the standard acoustic drum or make them even more hectic).

If you're feeling like going nuts, add in a 4-to-the-floor kick pattern (with some variations here and then) with a really distorted synthetic kick, and occasionally throwing in very hectic drum beats.

Blacklawn responds:

Thanks, but oh, God... Every time people say something different about the drums: "take them out", "put them in", "make them quieter", "make them MORE messed up". I don't know what to think anymore, to be honest... But I'll try again to make something crazy enough to fit the song. And if someone complains again... Well, whatever.

Random question but, did you use stock FL audio samples? If ya did, mess with 'em a little; put them through effects, make them stutter, whatever you find interesting.

As for the whole song, the main synth is really thin. You should layer it with some fatter sounding synths. Throw in some pads (or strings) and give it a bit more of an atmosphere.

Them drums could use some beefing up too. Especially the snare.

*My long overdue review of your stuff, as you've done for me for "techno thing" back in October '12
*also be warned I'm pretty bad at reviewing so yeah

Sounds really retro, I can tell you that much. Sounds NES-y. If someone made a pretty dark, 8-bit RPG game, they should use this as dungeon music or otherwise I will go to their pages and say really mean things. >:C

I can't help but to notice that some of the melodies past the first minute seem dissonant. I'm guessing that's intentional?

That's all I have to say. :/
Oh, and you should probably make it a bit loopable...?

DivoFST responds:

Thanks for the review :)
I made this just for fun, i didnt really spend much time making it good, its just a shame that it is kept in the top of my audio when it has nothing to do with my style xD

very deep, it touches my heart in a way that nothing else had
expect a lawsuit soon

FairSquare responds:

Sorry for raping your heart, will not happen again!
