I like the chords
when I first turned on the song, I found it very unnatracitve. An actual beginning would be great, man. If I was listening to a CD with this on it, chances are that I'd just skip through it. Make the beginning sexy, and this song would be a winner.
The snare drum also sounds a little bit flat... maybe it would be cool if you like, made it higher tuned or something?
Good work though, the song is actually very nice. Keep it up! Maybe you can check out my music also?
Thanks, I will check out your audio! :)
"Poopypants"
is what I'd like on my tombstone. I expect it now >:(
I thought this was going to be a spoken comedy song. But the comediec (SP?) feel was excellent =)
If you did the singing as well, you get a kudos from me =)
Other than my comment of 'try not to make it sound so cheap', this song is awesome.
Oh no, thats not me. Thats speakonia set to the 'ultra realistic' preset.
I lie, yes it is me ;-)
It was pretty damned hard to make it not sound cheap. To be honest it was a bit of a rushed project, I managed to finish in 5 hours non-stop work, over a single day which for me is pretty damned fast.
Damn, too much FL.
I don't mean that FL is a crappy music maker, but all you used was FL presets. I'm sick of those smaples, I've heard them too much... other than that, the son is alright. I'll strart ripping it to shreds and commenting on it now :)
The beginning was a little cliche, with the very basic drums. When it broke in, it was nothing like I was expecting. With the slight semitone changes you made in the bassline in the beginning, I was expecting something really dirty. All I got was this happy thing? :(
Now that I read your comments, you say this is happy hardcore? Naw man, this is just like very europhoric trance... if you want this to be like happy hardcore, make the tempo around 150 +, then make sure the entire song has a happy feel, no dark, no real dramatic break downs, just plain happy. And fast. I won't judge from what you said, though :)
As for drums, I'd like to hear a solid 4 quarter note kick drum, with open hi hats on the offbeat, and a big solid clap, you know? So it has more sustenance.
The song is good, but it has much more potential than this. Grab some samples, make the sound your own! Not FLs sound, make it yours.
Good work, I see good things for you in the future :)
Oh, and thanks for the review you dropped me on my song 'veangence'! I really appreciated it :)
Well, okay, I won't call it happy hardcore then, I'll call it my style, lol.
-As for samples/presets, I still have yet to actually get the full version of FL Studios, so I'll get a load of drum samples later. Presets, well, I've been experimenting with that as well, and the next song I release with show you what I can do with just a demo, you'll see.
-Nah, I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just saying I'm pretty sure I'll surprise you with this next song I submit sometime soon, this week, or next, whichever, lol.
-I'll work on my sounds then, that's all that's holding me back, but I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeve with the presets, so i'll see if I could eventually get Rapture, or something I could make my own synths with. That would be nice.
-Thanks!

Seems like you need a review or two.
So I'll give two =D
I actually like how this track starts out as techno., but slowly melds into trance... it would fit much better under that genre.
To the song itself.
When it starts out, the bass seems very very quiet. Turn it up a bit, and maybe EQ it a little higher ended.
When the main first melody breaks in, it sounds really good, with the drums and all, but the synth doesn't really have a big impact. When it breaks into the melody, it just kinda... happens. I need impact, filters, snare rolls, kick breaks, dramatic synth breaks!
Good work on the song, but you need to work on having more of a dramatic feel. When theres a break down, you need to know. When theres the buildup, you need to feel the energy. And, when it breaks in, make SURE that the listeners are going to bob their heads involuntarily, since it will be so groovy.
Great work, I actually really liked this song. Keep it up! =D
thanks for the review again. This song was intended to have a vocalist but unfortunately for me she is living in alberta for 4 months and i just can't wait that long. If it seems soemthing is missing that may be be why.
In place of her i put an organish pad. I guess it didn't work as intended. oh well lol.
Noting better than writing music...
...in your spare time.
I enjoy how the track starts out, with the trance gate, even though I believe that the trance gate is too low ended, take out the bass from it, and make it more high ended, since it sounds muddy, and this would help with the clarity.
hen add a bass synth, I don't really hear one.
When the drums game, I was very much pleasently surprised that you actually gave a shit whther the drums sounded good or not. And, for the record, those drums sounded great. Awesome work on them.
The only thing I'd change is that I'd keep those drums for is for build ups. I'd really like to hear the standard big kick/clap/offbeat open hi hat beat in there, as well.
Other than these things, this is a very well written song. Get more spare time on your hands =) Keep it up! Check out my music sometime?
hey man thanks for the review. This is not an ordinary work for me, the intro (although muddy as you put it) just sounded so cool to me i had to keep it.
I left out a bass synth in this track on purpose. I origionally had a compressed piano and a bass track but it all sounded just too cluttered so first i lost the piano (with much sadness),
After that it was the bass' turn to go because although i liked it, the low synth sequence that is played throughout the song worked fairly well as a bass in and of itself.
I really like reviews like this, with honest objectionable opinions. I will check out your stuff right now. thank you.
P.S. this is not the place, but i would like to thank Eatensoul (now Jedess of World of Warcraft's imperial order) for the helpful advice for this song.
Hey, I don't like seeing this...
Hey man, try making music JUST for yourself, then submit it to newgrounds. Don't make a demo, then submit it to newgrounds waiting for advice, if YOU like it, submit it!
Try not to do the demo thing, I think that shows that you are conforming to other peoples taste... go by your own taste. It'll go much smoother.
Unless you just wanna make teasers =P
To the song.
I don't really like thedefault FL loops, btw. The beginning would sound a lot better if you had a staedy groovy bassline in the backround, starting from the beginning. It would sound better, and it would make the song sound fuller.
The build up with the piano is nicely placed, no complaints there. With that dark synth though, I don't think you should have brought it in so slow, you know? Like, you could have faded it in faster, and faded out the piano faster, then brought out the big 4X4 kick, with open hi hats and everything.
Other than the small details, this song is actually very good. I'm sorry if I sound overcritical, I'm just nit picking.
Great work, you are full of potential! Listen to more electronic artists that write this kind of music, take a little bit from each of their styles that you like, and your music will turn out fine.
Keep it up =D Check out my music sometime?
thx so much, will take ALL of your advice! i need all the help i can get. lol
Awesome character theme
Hell, I want a theme =P
Very nice amount of drama in this track, but to be hoenst, this sounds like something that would fit much better in a castle or world map scene. Character themes are generally repitive, and very catchy.
Good work, though. I really like the 'big' feel that this track has. Even though, I believe you should turn down the choirs a little bit. They kind of overpower at the end of their little chorus there.
Great work though, keep it up! =D
will do ^^. Overworld theme eh... I can see where you're going with that.
Thanks for the review ^^.
Very nice beginning
The flute and everything fitted very well with everthing else, but the 5th chord you hit sounded really sour, man (on the low strings).
Other than that small point, this song is well written, well excecuted, and very well mastered. Good work.
I've got a new song up called 'Termination', can you check that one out? Thanks.
I will check out your song as soon as I am able.
5th chord, sour eh... hmmm, I am not sure of what you mean, but I will try to pinpoint where exactly. I have a hunch where it may be. Thanks for the heads up, and for the review. ^^
I love Goa trance. Goa trance loves me. We make good music, Goa trance and I. You should check out some of our music in the audio portal =D
