haha. quirky!
haha, that trance lead really makes this an odd track. Great mix, bass is heavy, drums are fun. The only thing that seems out of place is that trance lead, but it's just too quirky to hate. Sometimes quirky rocks... actually, check this out. Your loop really reminds me of Xanadu stratus remix for some reason... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI_CVL hI2SE
Ahhh, good times. I only wish youtube had better sound quality. Curious, what program are you using again?
I absolutely know what u mean about the Lead xD I was thinking of leaving it out maybe but it... well misses the Lead then and I didnt want to change the Sound of it.
The Video u linked contains a Video ID Failure :( But if u want the Vid in better Quality just add a "&fmt=18" behind the URL and it wil play in original Quality. If it is a HD video u can replace the 18 with a 22 and it will play in HD then ;)
I am using Fl Studio 8

Fuuny. Right after our collab, we both went out and made subs for the v day comp. Melodies are crazy like always. It's something your really good at sir. I hear you playing with those drums a bit. Do you listen to any idm sir? Squarepusher maybe? Fun stuff. Actually... have you ever tried making an idm track? It's fun to experiment and the breaks can always benefit from a little extra experimentation.
I noticed something really unfortunate though... the mix sounds great on my lap top speakers but when I slap on my headphones the quality of the mix downgrades a bit... primarily the drums. They lose their punch. Do you listen to your mix with one set of monitors? Or do you give it a listen on as many speakers as possible? I find that it helps... dunno. It's a minor thing.
Great track though stan. Keep rocking out.
well i listened to then on a couple of formats and they seemed fine but its all a matter of opinion i gues, as for idm i sort of dip in and out of it i think aphex twin, squarepusher and venetian snares are genii but ive never made a track, maybe its about time...
awesome!
lol at the guy who calls himself a professional reviewer. I'd like to know how much he gets paid for his job here at newgrounds.
Great song sir. The only thing I'd like you to work on is the drums. They need to be brought forward more. Compared to the rest of the mix they're pretty weak. Other than that this is a really great track! Good work. Keep em coming.
hahahaha yeah, I want to know that too.
I kinda had a slight feeling that the drums were a little drowned out but wasn't quite sure. Thanks for lettin me know, and thanks for the great review man.
meow.
Even for idm drums, they were a little on the light side. Amplify them bitches. Cool track though. Loved the melodies and effects. Only other statement would be that the mix needs some more powerful dynamics. More amplification all around and a sub bass wouldn't hurt. Good luck in the comp sir!
Thanks for the tips man... I really dig your music myself, it means alot. I'll be sure to keep those things in mind on my next track, seeing as how I can't go back and fix it, cause I still use the FL studio demo... (no saving)
nice :)
Has an ambient vibe, but that rhythm structures it a bit too much. If your going to throw in those drums, at least bring them up a bit. Strengthen the kick and the snare. Regardless of that, I really like this track. Cool effects sir. Keep the fun coming!
I agree good sir.
rockin
It's been a while since I've checked out your page sir. There isn't a lot I can say about the track that hasn't all ready been said... I think the choir could have benefited from a more drawn out attack/ release but that's about all I can say. Cool samples. Good work sir :)
you and your choir sounds and envelopes ;P
thanks for the review quarl, and i still stalk your page ;)
rockin.
A few beats per minute short of drum and bass but it's not like newgrounds has a break beat section anyways. Nice bass sir. I felt like it was a tad too dirty at some places because I thought it was clipping but when I checked your song file in audacity, there really wasn't much clipping going on. Also, the more I listened the better it sounded. Music has a tendency to do that.
The kit sounds a bit dry, but drums aren't something I'm good at so we'll just leave that review for someone else. Over all, really great job man. I'm gonna have to check out some more of your stuff.
Haha, good luck looking into my older catalog... You won't find much. Until recently I was working with strictly FL Core, which I guess has taught me how to better work with simpler synths like 3xosc, but up until recently my music wasn't much different from all the other NG detritus (Not that all NG music is bad, there's just a lot of people here that don't have a good understanding of music.).
But back to your review, I'm really glad you liked the song! I think part of the reasong the drums are so dry sounding is that the bass, while heavy as fuck, is in a similar frequency to the kick, which robs it of a lot of low end thump. I also agree that this is not DnB in the slightest, but seeing as breakbeat is a fairly close relative to DnB I put it here.
Thanks for droppin' me a review, always appreciated!
Ear sex.
Let's hope we don't get hearing aids D:
you definitely made THAT review your bitch
also im more worried about gonorEAR
rawr!... thaas
Well, I'd say keep working on it. I'd like to hear what happens when you get the quality up to your typical standards... also I love hearing what you do with dnb. I like your trance too but I'd be lying if I didn't admit to being a close minded dnb fan :P
Thanks Qwarl =]
giggle :3
hmm, I wish reason came with drums that sounded that full. All propeller-head gave us is the amen break and 500 other useless kits. It might have been a good idea to emphasize those breaks though. They sound really smooth and solid. Lets get that kick/ snare to the front of things and lower the surrounding instruments a little. That's really all I have to say. cheers sir.
Sheer ridiculousness. You reviewed mine while i was reviewing yours, if you could call mine a review.
I actually like reason a lot more than fl, but glitchy stuff just seems easier in fl for me. I'll probably adjust the levels in this and repost later tonight, thanks. :)
They'll kill you and call it "love."
