Very nice, very chill

Love the vibes and drums - classy. The title is a winner as well, of course. Your drum kit sounds really top notch, so your test was a success to my ears. Great freedom in your harmonies, good sense of motion. Keep up the good work! Keep fear alive!

4/5 - 8/10

SantaBro responds:

Thanks! and yay for comedy central

Cool!

Very neat array of sounds. What kind of mic are you using/what kind of dampening? Can't wait to hear more.

Behringer XM1800S Dynamic, with no pop-shield or anything
and Ableton comes with tons of effects, one of witch is a brilliant EQing tool, so i removed loads of highs and lows from a lot of instruments to help spread it a bit
Thanks :D check out my mini mixes, a little bit different, but plenty of wave manipulation in there! ;)

Great stuff! Can't wait to listen to more

Wow! What a polished sound. Your vocalist is really talented. Really great work, man.

The only thing I would caution against is that you have a sort of pulsing thing going on in the chorus and it gives a 'slow two' feeling that isn't quite what you're going for, I don't think. Maybe a little snare on the backbeat or a pad to soften the dynamic change? Anywho, that's just a tiny criticism - great song. Keep up the good work!

5/5 - 9/10

Shoephly responds:

First of all, thanks for commenting, means a lot!
secondly, it's not my vocalist. xD, it's from a remix pack i found containing the vocals (at a 20k bitrate sample o.o) and the midi for the bassline.

And yea, i understand that the transition is well; not there. This has to do somewhat with that I'm not done with the piece, but seeing that you commented on it obviously brings it to my attention that's it's a big problem.
It will be worked on and probably finished before friday (the full 4min track :D)

Yet again thanks a ton for the review.

Pretty darn good

I really like the guitar work despite the less-than-stellar recording quality. Is that someone actually playing or was it done through software? It sounds pretty legit, so good work regardless. The drums aren't bad, either, even if they are canned. Overall, very nicely done. Looking forward to more submissions.

Nfinity responds:

First of all...WOW! Thanks so much for a review. Didn't think this song would ever get one due to its poor recording quality.

Second, yeah, that's real guitar, and I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'm a huge fan of rhythm guitar, so it's rare for me to venture into the realm of lead guitar when I play. I haven't heard this in a while, and the recording quality makes me cringe (It's like listening to it through a wall made of 15 layers of aluminum foil and marshmallows). The drum loop was created in LMMS using strictly the pre-installed drum pack (This was the best I could do. I'm TERRIBLE at creating percussion work). I turned up my speakers, turned up the volume on my amp, put my Samsung Omnia II in the middle of the two and pressed record.

Anyways, thanks again for the review. Much appreciated!

(P.S. - On a side note, Seams of Memories has worked its way onto my driving playlist, not to mention on CD's of mixed music that I've submitted to friends and family (A song they've all loved, btw). I wanted to ask; is it something that will eventually become a full song, or will it remain a loop? I LOOOOOVE it as a newgrounds loop, but on a cd, it just ends abruptly.

Check it out, anyone who reads this.

Not bad

I could definitely hear this in an early 90s video game. Not bad.

My main criticism would be that I might avoid the cymbals in that program - the sound isn't particularly good, and I know you were trying to go for a heavy feel, but it's just not possible with some sound files (especially standard MIDI). They work pretty well on the hits, but not so much as part of the repeated drum loop.

Elise-Lucy responds:

I see.
Well, it's a musical concept of my song. If I ever get means to record it normally, I will do it :)

Whoah

That's some pretty intense stuff, man. Nicely done. Lots of variety in the sound, lots of shifts in your ideas. Kind of reminds me (a little) of SoaD. What program are you using?

RoyalRave responds:

Thank you very nuch for the review dude!

We were using the guitar rig 2 for guitars and bass, battery for drums and cubase for recording, also, we used a hammond program for the organs in the intro, and i think that's all.

Nice work

I like the basic idea and especially your sound choices - the gamelan-type sound gives it a unique feel. I think your other reviewer is right in that a bridge might have helped add some variety. 'Round about the 2 minute mark the harmonic progression begins to wear thin.

Keep up the good work!

d00dfayz responds:

Yeah, I noticed the repetetiveness at the end of the track, I was running out of ideas. However, It's nice that you took time to take a look at my tracks and make a much more detailed review than I did. Thanks!

Hi. I'm a musician and voice actor. PM me if you need some music or VA work from a male with a fairly wide range, decent dialect skills, and a decent mic (a Blue Snowball). I have reasonably good recording, editing, and mastering skills.
