on plague of industry by mcskynard

Sounds pretty good to me, mc. The drums could maybe use a bit of compression, and perhaps you could EQ the various channels to separate the instrument sounds somewhat. The music really adapts to Ray's pella very well. All in all, pretty tight jam, man.

Peace,

Spyder

on Wind Blowing My Love Away - Music Only by Smileyz90

Dance, Techno, Rave, etc. isn't really my genre, so I can't give an accurate critique. But I can say this: I think this is an awesome tune! Kinda reminds me of a mix between Ministry and Lords Of Acid. Very nice work indeed, Smiley ~ keep it up!

Peace,

on Mel Call by SixFingeredMan

Freakin' hilarious, Six! Mad Mel's rant is a hoot, and the music goes along with it rather nicely. Good job, dude!

Peace,

Spyder

SixFingeredMan replied Unknown

Thanks. Glad everyones getting a good laugh from it. I love a good laugh. Maybe I should have added Christian Bale into the song with his rant too. ha ha

on FaithNameless by sumerlin

Another great track, mm40. Did a great job with Ray's pella ~ turning it into an industrial metal rant was sheer genius, bro. Good idea with the minimalistic guitars too ~ any more guitar work would have distracted from the vox, IMHO. I think you did it just right!

Oh, and this one gets faved....

Peace,

Spyder

sumerlin replied Unknown

on high by majesty

Another nice track, dude. Has that classic metal feel to it. Really nice guitar riffs and change-ups. A few vocals and some thumpin' bass would really turn this into a magnum opus.

Peace,

Spyder

majesty replied Unknown

Thanx a lot dude. Yeah I feel that the bass might be a little bit loudy. Ithnk it is from mixing and arrangment. One day I will find a vocal for my compositions I will never sing (worse than door scratch).

on SYMPHONICA - BILBOZO by Bilbozo

Fantastic job, Bilbo. Symphonic intro kicks butt, and the guitar riffs are excellent (as always). A perfect balance between symphony and metal, dude. Really, great job, man.

Peace,

on On A Sinking Vessel by BrianMaiden407

I WOULD say that you never cease to amaze me, Brian, but the truth is that I'm at the point where I EXPECT quality music from you. And, once again, you deliver ~ this track has excellent emotive character. A very fine endeavor indeed, my friend.

Peace,

Spyder

BrianMaiden407 replied Unknown

Hey thanks spyder for dropping in and given an ear! really apperacte the nice words also!
always thanks here guy!!

on sky by majesty

Yeah, you're right, the volume fluctuations are a bit distracting, but that can be corrected. Otherwise, the composition is fine ~ great guitar riffs and percussion, and the clean guitar in the middle adds some interest to the overall sound. Nice job, majesty.

Peace,

Spyder

on unnamed (at the moment) by jjy

Sounds like metal to me, bro. The guitars are nice (if a bit loud in spots), and the drum machine rocks. Don't know what kind of software you use, but if you've got a soundfont player there are some awesome freebie acoustic drum SF's. So, if you really don't like the drum machine sound, there are definitely other options. If you want to know more, just contact me ~ I can line you out with just about anything.

Peace,

Spyder

jjy replied Unknown

thanks =] i've been trying to get a hold of AD but it cost money...so i just said screw it, i use alot free samples and use FPC from FL =/ but hey im glad you liked it and thanks for the tips! =D i should try SF.

on Irreversible by Steinaa

Scandinavian metal is my first love in music, so it's a blessing when I hear it done so well. The riffs are awesome, and the chugs are wicked, dude. You may have lost your sounds and presets, but this track is just perfect like it is.

Peace,

Spyder

on the apokalypse by pate

Really good prog metal, Pate. The guitars are excellent, the bass is tight, the drums are crystal clear, and the choir adds a nice ethereal quality. All in all, a truly great job, bro.

Peace,

on Winter Sunset by DanielGtrman

Very lovely track, Daniel. Indeed reminiscent of a winter sunset. Absolutely perfect, IMHO.

Peace,

Spyder

DanielGtrman replied Unknown

Thanks again for reviewing spyder. Maybe I ouught to do a "summer sunrise" track....

on Traxxionn by DanielGtrman

Very nice chops, Daniel. I love the minimal percussion and piano ~ it really lets the guitar work shine through. Quite professional sounding mix, brother. I'm impressed.

Peace,

Spyder

DanielGtrman replied Unknown

Thanks Spyder for reviewing. appreciated

on Last One Standing by AllenV

I know the instructions say "don't just say nice job when you review", but there's not much else I CAN say. Fantastic use of PianoSound's loops (and HMNN's as well), great mixdown, and superb guitar chops. All in all, one fine tune, bro.

Peace,

Spyder

AllenV replied Unknown

Thanks Spyder.Yea,How many ways can you say it sometimes,and I appreciate it in any form.This was and is my first song created around the loops and I loved doing it,the process was the hard part for me(my son helped)but rewarding.Thanks for the mixdown comment,i'm finding that really is the hardest part,spec at 4 in the am!

on This is the End by joshthedjentleman

Bad-ass tune, man. The guitars kick butt, and the synth adds a nice industrial feel to it. The ending is great, too.

Peace,

Spyder

on demo 4 by zombiesatellite

The music is great and the mix is spot-on, but I definitely think it needs some vocals. Maybe you could find a bad-ass female vocalist to throw some "Shamaya-style" vox on it. But, great job nonetheless.

Peace,

Spyder

on Easy take by FrenchKid18

Nice understated guitars always sound great to me, so I like this track a lot. The mix is excellent too, though I don't know why you aren't satisfied with the drums ~ I think they go well with the tone of the song, though I probably would have added heavier kick and low snare flams here and there (but that's just my personal taste). All in all, a rather fine job, as is your usual effort.

Peace,

Spyder

FrenchKid18 replied Unknown

Thanks a lot for the review.I really got used to the drums and I agree they work quite well on this so thanks for saying so,lol
Cheers

on Dissertation by FlowSlivicrew

I think the beat is awesome and the mix is tight ~ the vocals stand out nice and clear without drowning out the rest of the music. Very good job...

Peace,

on Why The World Turned into Hell by BrianMaiden407

Another nice one. The minimal guitar work goes well with the industrial type percussion.

Peace,

Spyder

BrianMaiden407 replied Unknown

on No More Lip From Her by BrianMaiden407

Nice track. I really like the harp lead ~ gives the song a Southern Rock feel, despite the heavy guitar work.

Peace,

Spyder

BrianMaiden407 replied Unknown

Hey thanks for the kind words Spyder,For reason I leaned more to a heavyer sound in the guitars here,might be that Arrowsmith stuff creepin up on me!! lol

thanks Again Guy

on nameless by majesty

Good track. The percussion mix sounds a bit "muddy" in places, but the guitar work is excellent. Using the melody to define the piece is a strongpoint. Very nice work, bro.

Peace,

Spyder

SpyderX 19th May 2010 19:05 - 14 years ago

on omega by majesty

Very reminiscent of early Metallica. Strong chug, driving beat, fair mix. My only suggestion would be to make the lead not so repetitive, but otherwise a great tune.

Peace,

Spyder

majesty replied Unknown

hi. thanx for the comments although ım not a guitarist i will try my best :D

on Meth-Fueled Nightmare by nosnhojnilremus

Great speed metal, definitely reminiscent of a meth-fueled nightmare. Guitar work is awesome. Fine job, Johnson.

Peace,

Spyder

nosnhojnilremus replied Unknown

on Grim Reaper by NathanRoth

Nice one, Nathan. Reminds me of Zao in a couple of spots. Definitely creates that "grim reaper" feeling...

Peace,

Spyder
