Hey dude, thanks for the review! And the awnser is yes, it probably is your loop! i downloaded like 150+ loops from this site a while ago, but i only just realised that there were no names on the loops etc when i came around to using them. So, im sorry for not mentioning you in this!!
Cramps... You read my mind man. OMG, this is so crazy. A week ago I was watching Club Dread and that maze scene came on- with this track. And I got to thinking about how cool it would be to remix this track. Kinda hinted at doing a collab mix with Splish though I dunno if I ever talked with him about it in one of the few messages I've sent him recently. Looks like ya beat me/us to the punch.
As for the track, this is so cool. Man, I'm floored. I love the whooshy-like effects ya used and that drum build was cool. The bass is nice and juicy too. The only thing detracting from this one is it's short length. Please, plz, plz say that you'll make a longer mix of this? I could maybe try if you'd like. I'm thinkin like 5-8 minutes, somewhere around there. Lemme know, cool!? Anyways, massive props for doin this one (though not for reading my mind, haha, jk). Lates!
Haha, wow !! well, that i was not expecting!! i guess great minds think alike right? well i also heard that fools think the same, hope its not that one :) As i was making this track i was accually thinking, wow i think this is way too long and everyone is going to be bored by the end! but i guess not right? and now that youv'e said that, of course i will make it longer!! I will need to think what i can add in to keep vareity and to keep everyone listening. Maybe send me some ideas as to what to add in to make this longer? Perhaps even, if you would like, you could download this track, and think about extending/remixing it?? send me a message tell us what you think. thanks! -Lorin xD (Btw, there are also a few pacman remixes online and on youtube etc so you might wanna check there for some more inspiration?)
automation skills are sick in this! i see you have put in some effort, because it is filled with heaps of varied melodies! i think you've done it some justice seeing it's only your 2nd attempt at this genre!
well done Lorin!
keep this up, sounds like you had a lot of fun with this 1
Thanks heaps for the review! yeah i tried some different melodies, to see what would work best! It was pretty fun making woulda been cool with some more pacman sound fx but hey!
only been playing for 2 years! could of fooled me! i love spacey sounds and geetars! great soundscape you've created! well recorded and mixed. you should be proud of this one!
therealneil
Haha geez thanks! well i have been playing for a little ammount of time, and to be honest, the guitar in this song sounds a lot better than the skill it accually takes! its basically an Aminor arrpeggio, and its fairly easy to play once you get ehe hang of it! Yeah and it was recorded on an 8-Track hard mixer which was a bit of an effort to play the whole way through. But maybe i should do it again with new loops and equipment etc or leave it as it is im not sure. well, thanks for the review!
Sounds really good so far. I think if I were working on this song, I'd throw in a little ambient break in the action where the song stops of. Then pull the main theme back in with a heavy build to the end. Definitely excellent playing on this one. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks heaps, thats a really good idea! im just thinking where i should plcae that break. I think after the strings stop on the second half would be a good idea?
You have some good sounds supporting your guitar style that work very well together. On the strength of this track, I think you could do many genres well.
Wow! thanks a lot. That means a lot coming from someone as talented at guitar as yourself! I am only a novice at guitar and Iv'e still got much to learn! ill be sure to check out some of your tracks! Just wondering, do you like tommy emanual, Andy Mckee, Ted green or that one whos name i cant remember?
Thanks again! The piano was a synth in Xpand (protools plugin) and I made sure to put some nice echo and delay on it! And then the rest was digital bells, strings, and some guitar! and a few pad layers as well, and a synth bass, and another synth called 'pan pipes'. So yeah thanks heaps man!
Thanks a lot man, I was accually thinking about metallica/guns and roses style when i was working on this song. I dont really have much idea what to do with the end though. Any ideas? I could make a sort of breakbeat thing at the end or something im not 100% sure yet!
killa riff, and placed in a great soundscape!
loving your acoustic skills man! this is pure ;)
you know what! id love to get a few lil git riffs from you and build a tune around them! if your interested hit me up anytime :)
if you could play and record anything melodic downtempo that would be tops! if ya cant atm no worries!
Definatly! Ill work on perfecting some loops in the future, put em out for everyone to use! I could imagine making a chilloutmix, or some sort of house tune with some. Just gotta work out what kinda loops i should make...
if this is your first techno tune, i must applaud you. because my friend this is some awesome shizzzz!
you must have a good ear, and a good producer mindset! you have just enough variety in here to prevent any discomfort for the listener!
you know what i reckon! i reckon this tune could be made into an awesome downtempo progressive tune! you could keep the intro and work around that to make a sweet rolling tune!
Thanks heaps man! thats awesome!! Yeah I thought the intro might of been a bit long but I guess it might be ok. I originally set out ot make it more of a hardstyle tune, hence the loud-ass bass drum, but i never really thought about doing a downtempo version? I could imagine playing something like this which people could dance or shuffle to lol. But yeah im not that great at the moment at doing the whole breakbeat/house/acid styles but I will try and experiment, and let you know!
man this is great! that guitar sounds just perfect!
the easy, mellow, soothing git riff really does it for me!
all the other sounds went quite well together! a good blend of instruments! just a lil tip i'll throw in, if you want to get that authentic instrument sound, id strongly suggest using some good quality soundfonts! because these good soundfonts are just recorded real instruments! i use them a lot!
i think the instruments in there were very nice though! beautiful bells also. top tune. i really enjoyed this one :)
Thanks bro, I'll look up those soundfonts, where do you get them or whatever? Everything on this track was just my playins a once-over recording onguitar but I could really do with samples, especially for more electro tracks.
It grow. I like the odd sounding harp (?) thing ya got plunkin away every now and then. The guitar melody on this is outstanding. And because of the occasional buzz from not hitting the fret exactly dead on I know ya recorded/played this live. And I'm guessing you had been playing for a while in tha case (where your hands/fingers getting tired/numb?). Small request, could ya add some percs to this (like bongo or tamborine)? Lates!
nice thanks for the review! yeah i was playing live on this 8 track i have at home. Its a pretty cool riff that i made up and then i just made the rest to go along with it!and yeah i got pretty tired like half way through but yeah. thanks!
There's this crackling sound I'm getting as this plays. Dunno if it's the player, the tracks bitrate, or if it was some effect to make it sound older (like on vinyl). Just thought I'd throw that out there.
Anyways, the strings are kinda taking me back to old RPG games (like Zelda or Dragon Warrior). The basses sound fine on my system (shrugs). Lovin the bells and would love to hear more of the Guitar. Besides the crackle I enjoyed this. Later on!
Thanks for the review! When i first uploaded the song it was fine but now for some reason there is that crackling noise which is pretty annoying! And yeah i loved zelda and dragon warrior on gameboy they were probably my favourite games!! but i wasnt really thinking of that when i made this one but i guess i see it now u say it! *** UPDATE- Changed bitrate to reccomended and now its fine :D :D thanks for pointing it out!**
pretty cool. sounds like u messed up a couple of times on the tempo of the guitar but its still cool cause you pick it up again. i really liked the backround too. its a very balanced quiet track.
yeah lol i did slip up a few times. I recorded it on this hard-disc 8 track that i had at home though. No protools visual editing or anything like that!

Thought I'd stop by and see what you had up and I see this as a featured tune.
I think you did an outstanding job on this tune. Capturing all the essence of Pacman sounds and a good feel.
I like this tune a lot and you did a great job of piecing the loops together.
Thanks for sharing it with us,
