Robo-Lead

I'm really likin the robo-lead. Sounds like 3Xosc to me. I don't have much to say in this. I am a singer, if you want me to sing. I'll do it, I sing lazely for my song (explaining why the singing sucks) I'm not vocal director, but a singer.
AIM me about the singing bro, I'll do it if you want.

Karco responds:

It was 3xOsc, I was going for something simple but catchy. ;D

And we already chatted about this on AIM, so I'll skip that part. :D Thanks for the review.

Master this.

You really do need to get a hang of master.
That means getting rid of the crackle that I hear in my speakers.
It sounds great as a song.
But if it was EQed better, it would be perfect, take it a bit down on that high mid.
A little bit of bass goes up, low mid, goes down some.
I won't get very specific, because you might over shoot.
But use Parametric EQ.
The bass that kicks in around 2:10 I really don't like, because it's drowning out the sound of alot of the song.
Basses can be real sound hoggers when not mastered right.
The melody and tune are amazing.
You are a great composer, if you do better on your mastering, you will become even better.
Nice use of strings.
I'm hearing another drown out around 4:50, fix that too.
Parametric EQ2 is a really good EQing tool, it provides you with a great spectrum to show you where you need to fix your sounds.
Anyways, this song would be 80% Golden if mastered right.

Originality does not come in a package brother. It comes from the mind, which means you should brush up on your synth skills. Avoid presets, and get a new pack of drums.
Sytrus is very extensive, yet very confusing, take a look at some presets, and mess around with their fetures to get a hang of sytrus.

Good job

Nice man!

Good information!

I'll make sure the next song I put out has minimal to no presets.

I just never seem to want to make the time to mess around with it.

I do it every now and then but I get frustrated with the results, so I just hope back on presets.

I guess now I'll see how long my patience can hold out.

Thanks for the review man!

Ya....

The bassdrum is a bit punchy, and in some places of the beat I hear, it's a little bit off. The transition to the bassline is good, but a little basic. I like the attack of the cymbal (Rev cymbal). This sounds like a slow progression of trance, but still trance non the less.
After a while, that punchy bassdrum I hear gets to be samey after a while, and it gets kindof repetitave. I like the cutoff at 1:37, that's a bit dynamite!

Then the piano transition comes in, I like this piano, it's a good bit there! Until it gets repetitave....sadly, then a relief comes as a different piano comes in. So that's good, I like the retardando in the piano also. Nice job, now a transition to the same stuff I've been hearing :[, you could have atleast made the drums beat and kick a bit louder, or added a snare or clap.

Over all, originality in this song is high, I've not really heard any song like this on NG, so your song sticks out a bit, but the drums need to change more.

Overall this is a good song, not exactly for the dancefloor I would say. More of a stress relief song, what were you feeling when you made this song?

Whatever, nice job.

Karco responds:

It's not a little bit off at all - I said, listen closely! ;D The song, if you haven't noticed, is in 3/4 time - ONE, two, three, ONE, two, three, etc. Glad you like the bassline, and yes, it's basic. At the time, I just wanted to finish this song, regardless of originality to a fellow artist. ;)

What, do you want me to change the kick I'm using? XD If you get bored of the kick drum, I really can't do anything about it - besides, how many trance songs do you know that change kick drums in the middle? (And don't bring up breaks or anything like that. I mean JUST the kick drum. XD)

Glad you like the filter, and the piano! :D Read the responses below - I really couldn't do much more than what I did with the piano, as I was salvaging the best of what mostly was horrible composition in my opinion.

I already have a snare, and adding a clap wouldn't work - this song's in 3/4 time, and claps play on even beats. I left it out so I wouldn't have to come up with some weird irregular clap pattern. :\

Glad you think my song is original, and glad you liked it. Thanks for the review! :D

Yah

Even though the bass is overpowered a little bit, it's still alright. The drums sound great in this, nice job on the flange shit.
Songs like these aren't so much into my taste and it, for being slow, kindof drags a SMALL bit.
You used the image synth thing too, I've actually never heard that in a song.
Admitted that it is cool, it's a little empty, but that's all opinionized.
I see effort though ya, it's nice.

Haha, thanks for the critique, but try next time to leave it in a review, I can tell that your kindof upset, just take the advice, I gained alot of experience in the past few months. I mean, listen to my most popular 2007 submission, it sucks a load.
Anyways if your listen to ALL of my songs you will see a difference, not just 2 or 3. there is a difference.
and I had admitted that some of my songs sound like DJ-N if you read the info. Review my songs if you have some constructive criticism, or you think its cool. You can say it really fucking sucks for all I care, I don't really let it get to me.
Thanks :]

1zin1 responds:

have no idea what an image synth is..but i used nothing of the sort

response:
i don't think i ever meant any insult when i was younger, i think i literally had no idea what that was. lmao
But i wouldn't go bash your stuff because of a simple constructive criticism. take care. o7

Sonic is my hero!

You are the shit broseph, quality doesn't matter, so this was certainly awesome. Thankyou for not fucking calling him Eggman, that's so fucking gay when people do that. Anyways you are awesome for submitting this!

Demonstray responds:

Thanks, man! I know the quality wasn't the best because I don't exactly have the tools necessary for recording...I have to compose all my stuff as MIDI and convert to MP3 on the computer. I play keyboards though, so either way there would be some kind of MIDI involved.
Yeah man, I'm not too fond of the name Eggman either. To me, he'll always be Robotnik.
Anyway, thanks for commenting and thanks for not ripping on me. :)

^_^

I loved the beggining, good job on keeping this song at a mid-range, I thought it was all the way in until your shit kicked in at 1:14. That's when it got really really good.

The lead synth was awexome, I don't exactly know what game this is from.
But I should know it's a very good Remix at that.

You made it sound like something intense was going on.

GameMusicPersonthing responds:

lol yeah every time i hear past 1:14 i feel like i impress myself...i guess thats a god thing...i just hope i can sharpen my skills up and become real good at this thing

O_O

You are one very strange music author, this song was funny, and wierd. I have heard the end of the world cartoon and laughed, until I hear everything. It's about the world being destroyed, and holy shit did it have an effect. Good job on turning this song from a Joke, to a serious situation. It will happen one day.

Moving on to the song, it was kindof empty, Use some EQ-ing, and I loved the beginning. But it would be great if you used some real voice acting, try doing a song with your voice acting and it might turn out to sound cool, use a vocoder if your voice sucks. But it would still add a lot to the effort if you used your own voice.

Otherwise Great job on the story this song told.

Favorite part : "Also, take a moment to locate this planets emergency exit"

I thought that was clever, because THERE IS NO ESCAPE!

seecharley responds:

I'll agree with you about the "empty"-ness. Having *just* started making electronic music, I'm still on my garageband training wheels (I use Audacity for a few things too). Figure I should master what I know before I move on to more advanced programs.

As for the voice acting, it's something I plan on doing in the near future.

Thanks for the detailed review!

Orly?

It is sad, but it sounds like less of a tribute than it is a random mix up of emotionless expressions and happyness.
A death on August is sad,
A death on christmas is VERY sad.

I expected it to be very sad.

The Drums could use some effects, even though I like them.
The tune is original, but I have noticed, this song has no effects, that piano definatley should have had a reverb,
Unless you're trying to go old school.

Because without effects, this really really does sound like an old techno song, or even a different Genre.

However, the tune is really nice, and the composition is dynamite, but it needs some good mixing. Try opening the file and adding some effects and send it as a remix.

Nice job however, I would still have to blame you if you forgot to do the effects, lol.
You should have noticed it when making the song that it sounds really empty.

Good job on the song itself, it would be amazing if it had effects.

Ok, i'll try to remember that...hopefully <_<

YOU ARE AWESOME!

THIS IS AWESOME. I've never really heard much hip-hop.
But this is badass. Awexome!

p4c responds:

YESSS I AM A CASH MONEY MILLIONURRR STRAIGHT UP GANGSTURRRR
