this mix
is incredible.
the harmonys just before two minutes are siiiick sounding. Right now I'm waiting for a guitar solo. I am a big fan of instrumental music, but I could very easily imagine vocal tracks on this. The choir patch should be dropped down a pitch, sounds out of place at that register.
\m/
I'm not too great with guitar solos unfortunately, so the only one you get to hear is at 1:16.
The 'choir patch', which I'm sure you mean string patch because there is no choirs, was just a cheap ass quick download of a VST from google. No pitch correction tools came with it sadly.
But overall, I'm happy that you liked it :)
cool
percussion is really cool
I would have taken out the jazzy aspect and that piano melody. The bass would sound really cool coming in sooner, around the thirty second mark. I'd try to get some bright sounding horns to play the off-beat on the lows and follow the bass on the highs.
Just some suggestions...
wow that helps a lot thank you so much!!!!

transition
that was really awkward how it went to the next part, which I wasn't fond of. You should just build on the original arp melody, it sounds pretty cool.
Ok. Thank I Will Throw In Some Transitions. Thanx For the Criticism.
Bitter
as most are
Drum fx sound great, and the rolls are on cue
The female vocals were very cool, arp could have been leveled out a bit more in some sections. Some strange language, a sample? mysterious...
the part at 3:00 was unecesarry, really
aight thanks
65 bpm
basically half-time. my most recent song is also at this speed.
It sounds nothing like this haha. Which means I will have alot of fun remixing...
I liked how the flute and oboe/basoon played back and forth with eachother. Instead of silence for that transition, I would try a big bass drum or crash, loads of reverb of course. That one trill part at 3 min sounded too much like the beginning. If you're gonna use it again, I would repeat what came after it.
The part before 4 min could have sounded a little more full, maybe throw in that choir or a string combi.
Very nice!
(if you could check out Odd E-C it would be much apreciated)
Will do.
You do know that I actually am remastering this song, right?
I'm definitely grateful for your insights- it helps me out a lot. :D
coool
lacks drums, but that makes sense for just being a menu loop. it's more ambient and cave dwelling like anyways lacking them. You might want to turn down the gain on that high shelf eq, it gets a little overdrive when the pad gets all freqed out...
looking forward to the game
yeah, the compression made the high-end a bit worse, it should be sustainable in the game though. i hope (i actually already shelfed the master like 3-4dB from 5kHz, and a narrow q around 3500Hz about 2-3 dB. Perhaps I should have brought it down even further,,, i simply have no time to doublecheck in other systems today, and most likley not during the weekend either) :O
since it's a menu-loop, i didn't want any kind of beat to it.
thanks for the review man, it's appreciated! :D
Could be cleaner
maybe there is a little too much delay feedback on the pads, which pan really well by the way. I would also work on the fluidity of the transition, but I'm sure you were going to anyways...(try cutting off the instruments and 1/8 beat hi-hat at 1:06)
I like where you're goin with this and the overall feel of the drums
-I was going to review "The Third Measure", but that's just a joke song haha
Hey RyeGuyHead, haven't seen you around in awhile. This is only a demo so I haven't gotten all the bugs out. But you definitely shed some light on what I need to work on the most.
I see what you mean about the pads delay feedback. And yeah the transition is pretty crap. But I'm working on it at the moment and your comment gave me a good idea how to fix it.
Thanks for the review buddy. oh and finally someone understands "The Third Measure" XD
A master, you say?
I like how the drums come into the mix. You're bassline is a little odd. It's an 8 bar progresssion if I'm not mistaken. The third bar is the same as the first, which isn't a bad thing, it just doesn't quite flow as well as the rest. I would experiment with that a tad. The add-ons are really cool, especially that gated pad that comes in before the two minute mark. It should have kept playing when the piano melody came back in. Repetition is a vital part of music, if something only happens once, it feels like a mistake or its out of place. When writing something, pay attention to the symmetry of all parts.
You should review Outro(Spective)-Voyage of mine, if you havn't already :D
Hmm someone said it was too repeditive but yeah i know, maybe i should have continued it, but then it wouldnt have had the same epic, only once effect.. Ill def review ure song. Oh and i just updated this song so it has lots more alteration.Yeah with the progression if i change anything it wont sound dark, sometimes you have to not play notes to get the right sound. But yeah thanks for the advice nice, very nice review :D Peace
oh actually, i realise its the same progression the whole way through, maybe i should have another progression somewhere. O well :D
Siiick
I was not a fan of the open hi-hats or the low end guitar. It could be an eq thing
Fuck, sorry for the late response. Been away for ages now it seems. Now that I listen back I agree about the hi-hats. Going to need to fix those at some point. Thanks a lot for the review. I'll stop by your page in a bit and check some shit out.
good luck, we're all counting on you
With all the races listed, it should end with..."walked into a bar". Then it could be a funny ass joke. Instead, its serious. Thats cool too ;)
Background music was executed pretty flawlessly, liking how it swells and fades out, gives the vocals alot more power. After the part about them not having a chance to survive, I feel like the music should be more sad and hopeless. The black box, never understood that damn thing.
I'm Sweedish, good thing to see we were represented...turk, turk, turk, turk
I did not hear about this crash, thanks for brushing me up on my current events
OMG, RyeGuyHead is actually leaving a review! I never thought i would get a review of a celeb :O
Haha, i think i wouldn't end very high in the competition if i did that joke. Not that i will end high now but... ah well, you get the point :P
And yeah, the music could've been more sad at times. I guess i wasn't in a sad mood :P
Thanks for leaving a review. I'll leave you one too, but tomorrow, after i slept a little.
