Regret Buss - ElenaSatine

WOW ! Elena this is very very good !
i can't believe a sweet girl composed this !
wow...just wow !

I like the different feel of the parts. the transitions are a little abrupt, but when I listen to it as a collage of samples it's very appealing. Especially the dark sounding guitar riff with delay and the ring-mod bell sound that has stereo delay. Good work. could be tied together with a vocal or a lead instrument imo. Hi-five to all old bass players.

Well it's started off well and i like the riffs so far (i'm reviewing as i listen to see if i can figure out what the others are talking about)
I think this is a good headbanging piece of metal, nice work with the drums, good choice of riffs.
Well i made it all the way to the end of the track and i actually didn't notice any riffs that don't work with each other. I thought it was a bit muddy in places but that just gives it a nice live feel.
I enjoyed listening to your track.

Hi again. I've tried to explain as clearly as I can that, at the time references I gave, there are very clear "wrong" sounds that would be normally be described in English as "clicks" or "pops". I think everyone who works with cutting up audio parts has to deal with these unwanted sounds. These can be removed very easily in probably all modern DAWs. As I said - I do it all the time. Not removing these noises means I can hear every time that you have joined one piece of audio to another so the listening experience is not as smooth as it should be.

I'm not sure I can explain any more simply what these small sounds are so maybe you're having trouble understanding my English. As I said before, search for something like 'crossfade audio' in the Help section or manual of the software you are using. I'm not sure what your first language is but if you can translate 'crossfade audio' into your language and then read what that means, I think you'll understand what the problem is. And how simple it is to fix.

"i'll underestand if you download it and correct it"

Sorry - I don't really want to but I don't mind writing out some things to help you (or anyone else). And this 'crossfading audio' technique is easy to learn about and easy to do.

Good luck...

Oh, and I still think is a good track and I still like the riffs.

Cool track and great use of loops. It's well put together and has a dark heavy metal feel to it. A bit cinematic as I could hear this in a film sequence. The drums are powerful and effective. Well done!

Hi. You didn't tell me which software you're using but it should be quite easy to crossfade two bits of audio in any audio sequencer, also called a DAW. I just use Cubase and only have to select the two pieces of audio on the timeline and then press one button. And then the problem is removed.

If you have an audio waveform and then cut it off immediately, you will get an annoying 'pop' or 'click'. In your track, that is what is happening and it means that I can hear where you have put one riff next to another. The crossfade will just make the transition between the two pieces of audio smoother. So, it will very quickly fade out the volume of the first one and then fade in the volume of the second.

As I said before, I have to do this all the time as my compositional style means I'm always cutting up little pieces of audio and moving them around the timeline.

Search for something like 'crossfade audio' in the Help section or manual of the software you are using.

You track will sound much better if I can no longer hear the edit between the different riffs.

Otherwise, I do like the track so hope you can work out this crossfading technique as it is very useful.

Very nice and original track.
Stunning drums.
Good work.

interesting usage of those metal loops Elena.take care.___B

Hi. I really like some of this track. The riffs, the drum beats, the kick drum and more.

It's a shame that you, like quite a few other people on the site, don't say in the track description what you're doing here. So then I have to ask before I can make a judgment. Are you playing any guitar here? Are you programming the drums? Are you using drum loops? Are you playing the bass?

One thing which you should be able to do really easily to improve things is learn to crossfade between your different sections of audio so that you remove the awkward click and pop sound that shows where you have put two pieces of audio next to each other.

Here are some times when I can hear those clicks and pops:

0:03, 0:06, 0:09, 0:28 and many more in the second half without the drums.

Ask if you're not sure what crossfading two pieces of audio means. I have to do this all the time in my music (like hundreds of times just in one track).

Nice ..metal and ethereal at the same time, not easy to do and make it work. But you did.

Pretty rocking and interesting tune...Nice job.

I enjoyed this Elena, very creative use of a whole bunch of different loops. It sounds like a lot of the jams we used to do late at night after we completed a show :) I definitely am impressed with the way you wove everything together. Added to favorites for sure. I hope all is well.

The ebb and flow of this track is crazy, the tempo changes, the use of the drums, the build ups....and its Rock!
I dig it!

Tune D

Thats a good rock mashup.!

I enjoyed this and it's rock for sure.!

The main thing is to enjoy what you try to create,and dont worry too much if it's not to everyones tastes.!

I dig the drums! Nice powerfull track, only elements are a bit separate from each others, a bit better arrangement will make this track more awesome!
