Hello!
- Freaky chewy melody, nice.
- Stock FL drums are a no-no. The drums could also use some hi-hats.
- The wobble feels too "thin". Try EQing the lower frequencies.
- I feel like the whole song lacks a bassline. Not the "WAAAHAHASDHKAHDF" kind of bass. Like a sub bass or something like the sort.
- The part from 3:27 till 3:42 is sorta messy and disorganized.
I really appreciate your review!
"thank you for trying this demo"
That's probably because you haven't bought Sylenth1?
- Did you use stock FL drum samples? You shouldn't use 'em...even if you want to, process the crap out of 'em.
- That wobble could use some processing/effects as well.
- At around 1:44, the volume gets really loud for some reason.
- 2:06, the melody for the keys are somewhat dissonant.
I bought it. I would never crack any kind of music software
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
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?).
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.
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.
