If this is your first song I'd love to hear your next ten...And hopefully I will ... Talent for detail is evident ... I don't feel I am at a talent level where I can critique anyone about anything ...
But if this track were mine ... I wouldn't change what you have but, I would add a hit and/or a 4 bar roll here and there to stretch it the track out
Thanks very much for the review Bmack. I think that is good advice and I agree. I do need to work on changing up drums a little, adding rolls and such.
Wow... did you do that on a single take? Impressive! Your track reminded me of a Japanese horror film. It was very good. Waiting to scare my shit off from your next tune.
Thanks lo, I am happy you said that. I made this song after watching that Shutter movie, by the same guy that made The Ring, so the fact that it sounded like a japanese horror film to you makes me think I am learning to put what is going on in my brain to music. Thanks.
Wow...did you do this on a single take? What a great job! Impressive. I love you mood. Reminds me of a horror film here in Japan called, "Juon" which was quite terrifying (haha).
Waiting for your next call to scare my shit off~. loopmix
oh, by the way, if you like horror type movies, and are interested in my art, here is a link to a video I made using Half-Life 2 and some audio from a couple Hellraiser movies if you want to check it out:
Walking down a lonely and dark path in the woods, suddenly everything starts to get smaller and smaller. As if the world is collapsing in on itself, suddenly out of no where a bright lighted figure pulls you to safety. It seems you where very close to death, and you've been revived.
That is a great analogy, thank you. It is my opinion that one of the greatest things an artist of any kind can do is create something that the meaning can be interpreted in a different way by each person. Your comment is inspiring because it makes me feel that I accomplished that a little bit with this song. Thanks.
The intro is very nice man,i like that spooky melody...The Beat is very good man...This is for a horror movieo,like Dead Silence...Very nice man...Keep it up...Peace
Thanks Rei, that is a terrific compliment! I think I will be trying to add some vocals to the next one, I am nervous about it because I haven't ever sang out loud around other people, other then maybe birthday parties, haha. I hope it won't ruin it for you =}
Thanks for the review Sonny. I had just watched that movie Shutter the night I started it, so I think I had ghosts on the brain. That must be where the eeriness originated.
Yet again, you fail to give me a chance to criticize. Awesome song! And I was wondering what kind of program or VST you used to make the drum effects, it sounds nice.
Thanks again Zalg.
To be honest I don't even know exactly what a VST is yet. I guess there are a lot of them in FL Studio, but I don't really know about much other then reverb, chorus and equalizers. The way I did the drums was combining 3 different types of kicks, and same with snares, and I just adjusted the volume of each until it sounded like what I thought sounded best to me. I had 18 different tracks worth of noise for this song, I was worried it would be to much noise, but as I moved things around to lay it out how I liked it didn't seem to be bad. Thanks again for the comment.
Thank you Travis. I haven't developed the sense of understanding for music to really know how to catagorize this stuff I am making, so thanks for the advice. I will change it to cinematic.
Nice song, it has an evil sort of touch, good sound and loops. Out of 10, I'd give it an 8. Also--- did you make the majority of the loops? Because they sound awesome.
Either way, it's about a hundred times better than my first song (and only, so far).
Thanks Zalg. I appreciate such a high rating on your scale. I pretty much expected my first posted song to be a humbling learning experience for me, so I am so glad people actually even like it. Yes, other then the 2 guitar loops from here that I used, I composed the rest.
Great sense of structure, great mix, too. The ONLY thing I'd do differently would be to bring the bass up a bit in the mix, and play lower notes (if that's an option to you).
I am glad you said that about the bass, and I totaly agree. As I have been trying to teach myself to make decent sounding music, I would create a short sample and record it to CD and see how it sounded on a couple different stereos. It always seemed the bass was just overwhelming so I knew I should lower it below what I thought it should sound like, but in the end I realize that I have over compensated. Thank you for saying so, because I know I am not the only one that hears that now.
awesome, flawless, powerful ...
I love this track!!!
and I like the way you chopped my loop ... cool work ...
thx a lot for doing this!!
like slap said: great production ...
and like esh said: nothing to change ...
and I say: give us more of that ...
