not bad

pretty dark, not too sold on the intro though dude, can hear bits and pieces that are off, kick doesnt sound right and the snares are sometimes on a weird time.
after that though its got some nice sounds to it.
can i ask where you got the samples from?

Zodin responds:

Cheers, and there arent any pieces of the intro off as such, and if you mean the voices, i got them off a friend xD

you ruined my life

by making me realise i could never compete with other hardstyle artists :(

awezome track, good to see a bit of hardstyle on here, overrun by trance and dance tracks. is this all made from scratch or did you use samples with some of the stabs and hits

SessileNomad responds:

all the stabs were made by me

nice piano rolling

alright, my first nitpick, is the piano. the melody seems ok, but the actual sound isnt right... too strong, i think piano should always be a nice subtle hint in songs unless its JUST the piano and some soft pads or something, but in this it seems too in your face, partially because of volume and also because i think the hit sounds too strong, if you can take away that initial attack of the keys then it might help, also when the piano hits higher notes it loses too much of its sound, i think you should spend some time grabbing some piano SF2's and giving them ago, not hard to find. and when your done there, im feeling a slight reverb to it aswell. now moving on, that was a pretty awesome sounding guitar solo there, and i think its also the first time iver ever heard slayer plugin sound any good (tried using it for a song of mine with apollo 440 lyrics, wasnt my best work).
The drums are awesome, they sit comfortably in the background, and with the amount of melodies you have playing i think thats a good thing, in a simpler song the drums should pop more to help keep the song solid but this is pretty busy so i think youve done well to keep them discreet. i really cant pick anythign apart other than piano sound to be honest. everything gels really well except that damn flkeys piano.

9/5 here, but since the piano rolling is so good ill 5/5 it to the left

ninjex15009 responds:

Really appreciate the detailed comment, you hit it right on the mark only its not fl keys its a sytrus setting. But the thing is i haven't mastered the song yet, well I did after submitting it.
If you could explain what sf2s that'd be great cuz i know that when you hit the higher keys you cant hear it unless its just the higher keys.

notbad

its not a bad mix, youve got the melodies right and the starting buildup is awesome, just too many bits need work, i love the silence just before thd rum comes in, but the actual drum itself doesn sound right, and i think the main tune at about 1:30 needs to get louder quicker, but smoothly and graduallty, not just sit quiet in the background then wham in your face.
i do like the dance feel at about 3.50 when it all comes together.
conclusion: good song, well done, just needs some work in the middle.
i do think you did a better job than me at it.

KI1 responds:

Oh yeah, I see what you're saying.
I guess my drum sounds a little out of place because most of the stuff I listen to and make usually has a stronger drum which can sound out of place in certain songs.
So thanks for your feedback, and I had a listen to your version, pretty good I must say :P

wow

now thats a beautifuil sound, nothing more to say. well done

Athius responds:

Simplicity in its finest form, I guess I should say. Thanks.

good

as far as your piano rolls go its good, very standard instruments though, they all sound like 3osc defaults, i think thats analogous phattus and jr bass or intregue used through most of it, try using the sytrus plugin and trying to get some less homemade sounds. i liked the drums, the kick was ery distorted and punchy but i liked it like that, other than that id work on making the overall song a bit more involved, it seems too hollow if you get what i mean, put in some background ambient noise or a high pad or something... thats my opinion anyway, keep it up

orken90 responds:

thx 4 tha' review...
i think thats what i've searched^^ some background ambient...

i'm gonna work on it...^^

thx <3^^

peaCe

congratulations

youve just destroyed everything i know and love... i will never forgive you, now ws that actual singing i heard or did you just happen to press record as you were choking on your tongue?

trashcanman responds:

boo fucking hoo

hahaha

brilliant, well - named too, 5/5 and 10/10, and i only just realised it was you man, came across this in the submissions. well done.

Godknown responds:

Ha ha! Thank you VERY much for your generous rating and review! Brilliant? Well, the Bach composers were absolutely brilliant... anyways, still, thank you very much!

Take care,
Ka'eo

P.S. I know how you probably felt when you figured out it was me. I have had the same thing happen... I talk to an artist for a while and later I hear one of their most awesome songs and don't realize it is them... then after, I have this look of excitement/awe on my face. It's like that for me, at least. Ha ha! Laters.

PARACETAMOL

Bit of a kick in the teeth this one. i like it, good 'fighting on speed' music.
bit short though, id like to see it lengthened with some different tunes in with it.
maybe a change of drum pattern midway. i can comment on the kick drum and its 'lack of' bass since i have no sub at the moment, but on my speakers it sounds pretty solid, well done.

weemeee responds:

xD full version will be out soon :D
Ty for the review XD

rather pleasing

this is great, there are too many FF remakes out there, taht are literally the same song but newer instruments, this actually fits as a genuine remix, youve kept recognisable elements from the tune we all know and love and have added your own little finesse too it. i do like the metal sound mixed in with original sounding instruments from the game, however, my only criticism, the guitar does sound too computer made, a real recording overtop would sound excellent if you know anyone whos up to it. stick to the same 'kick in the teeth' sound of the guitar though. my love for guitar tells me to throw in a 20 minute axe grinding shred session bleed from yoru ears solo in it... but i guess thatd be overkill.

NemesisTheory responds:

I agree, the guitar is retrospect was a bit meh. I like how it fills the void though, anything but a real guitar would've sound a little less 'full'. I'd do for a real recording, but I'm not THAT good at playing the guitar, whaha. :P

Sadly I dunno anyone who's up to it, but who knows, maybe in the future.

Regardless, thanks for the review! :D

I make what I loosely call music, others call it noise pollution. I work, I Drink, I Eat lots of bacon, in fact, i might go have some bacon now...
