on The Darkside by Darkreine
Reine,

I agree with Billy re the bass and synths.
I really enjoyed this one man. Two thumbs up. Fav'd. Loved the Star Wars clips.

on The Hypnotist - Feelings by Indozizz
Man this is brilliant work! From the song title to the mindscape you gave me for an awesome ride. Fav'd.
The transition in the middle was just the perfect length before it started getting old...in other words your song writing was dead on for execution. Fade out at end finished it nicely.

If I had an ego like yours I wouldn't be able to get my head through my front door.

That's not a comment on this track so please either stick to that or don't comment at all. And certainly don't just leave straight insults as they're no use at all.

on Way Beyond Wrong by StaticNomad
Extremely repetitive.

Zzzzz.
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 9th Aug 2013 - 12 years ago
Yes, extremely repetitive...apart from the constant changes. I'm not sure if you actually listened past the first couple of minutes (which do indeed have the same bassline running throughout).

For anyone who does, they will find that in 7-odd minutes the track moves through hip hop, jazz, drum 'n' bass, metal and even banjo metal. And that's banjo playing an Eastern sort of melody merged with metal guitar and hip hop drums. And there are other electronic elements and lead saxophone.

This is all a huge amount of variety and extremely unrepetitive. That bassline that I said goes on for a couple of minutes then continues into the d'n'b section. However, it changes to a house bass sound, which gives it such a different feel that it almost seems like an entirely new part. So I'd say that's being creative with repetition (which is sometimes necessary, especially when you want something to sit so that other parts can have a solid anchor to work off).

See also one previous reviewer's comment that this was one of the most creative things he'd heard on this site ("I think this is one of the most creative tracks musically I have ever encountered on this site"). No problem if you didn't like it but I think just dismissing it as repetitive is way off the mark and certainly no form of constructive criticism.

on Tribal Warfare by StaticNomad
SN,
It's good but I have heard it before. Needs some freshness.
Mark.
StaticNomad
StaticNomad replied 9th Aug 2013 - 12 years ago
Well I'm genuinely surprised, based on your other comments on my tracks, that you thought this one was good. As regards freshness, I do actually have a much better and extended version, I just haven't uploaded it yet. When I do, I'm fairly sure it will be enjoyed by a few who listen to it. Hopefully, you'll prefer it too.

By the way, what sort of freshness did you have in mind?

on 1 minute classical guitar recital mood by deciBel
Behnam,
This is a great short piece. Your timing is flawless. Glad to see someone in the younger generation picking up the guitar and not putting it right down again. The guitar deserves a lot of respect and yet it can be tamed.

Another well mastered track from you...you are a machine!

As always, you have delivered a quality track. You are one of the top Loopers in my humble opinion.

on Burnt Memory by 520
Interesting...I would say this is Cinematic with a Rock vibe. I could picture this in the opening credits of a spy movie.

on Sealife by chabal
Chabal,

It starts off solid and once you get going it has a good groove.
May I suggest alternating the notes in the main riff to keep the repetitiveness to a minimum?
This is a good start!
