As for the track, the vocals are a bit too loud for my tastes. Bring up and BEEF THE F*CK OUT OF THAT GUITAR.
It's metal right? Metal ain't supposed to be so tinny! You've got something righteous sitting in a shell. Break out of it and show us how great and how well you can move us!
The only thing I really can say is that the synth in the beginning doesn't really fit too well, and ends very abruptly. You've got a good sound going on here, don't let it die. Build upon this beast until he's a war-torn steed! This has great possibilities man, put them to good use!
thanks for your comment. i think it is a good idea to rethink the synth in this track. i will update you about this song. Still looking for my own style, sometimes it is near and yet so far, but that is the challenge. again thanks
If this was my type of music, you'd have hit the nail on the head bro. You've got a lot of skill, and you put it to excellent use. My only suggestion is to watch how loud the vocals get during the chorus. I don't have headphones on, and I had to cringe a tad from the volume at some parts.
BY NO MEANS DOES THAT MAKE THIS A BAD TRACK. This is F*cking brilliant man, you did a phenomenal job. Constructive criticism is what I offer. :]
hey man thank you so much for the review
I am happy to know that this song is to your liking
have you listen my song Spencer??
please listen to it, i think too is good
i hope you like
That's the first thing that I thought of when I clicked play. It's a nice little track, though I do have a few suggestions. I don't know if you were trying to just upload a small clip of what you were working on, but put a little more effort into it before uploading it, you'll get MUCH more feedback from your listeners, and you'll feel a whole lot more accomplished too. As for the actual track itself, you have a good sound going, BUILD UPON IT! There's no reason to stop now, you've got the flow going!
And make sure you put VARIATION in it. There's nothing more substantial to a song than keeping your listeners interested.
For one of your first tracks, I must admit it's sort of catchy. It's well composed, and it's got good levels all around. The panning is pretty cool too. Beyond the instruments sounding like they were played through a 3-inch speaker, I thoroughly enjoyed this little piece.
Ah, love finding more people that use Reason. Here's my suggestion with this one: Separate the instruments to get a more vibrant sound, rather than the "looping" sound you have right now. Though if you were going for this exact sound, then it works well. Either way, I like the overall scene you put in this track. Try getting some variation with the strings along with the drums too!
Agreed with Minor, this is an awesome track, everything you have works really well with each other, the only suggestion that I'd have is fattening up the guitar a bit, either with adjust the bass, or recording more tracks of it. Although sometimes the hardware you have may limit this, it's all good. In a perfect world, I'd know how to mix my songs too. :P
Hell yeah man, this track sounds a tad classically influenced, and I love it. A lot of my music is made with a lot of the same aspect, you should give my stuff a try and see what you think. As much as I like this track, give it some more variation rather than just adding more. Completely stop in one area of your track, and start in a completely different way, but in the same key. Then, find a good transition between the two, and BAM. You got yourself a verse.
Hey again Centrist - I'm really glad you're posting comments, its good to see that people like what one is creating :)
Have a great morning/day/evening mate :)
Pretty much everyone in the reviews before me cover everything that I would consider revising, but I actually really liked every part of this song. The snares and the french horns really REALLY worked well for your piece, though there was one point in there where it sounded like it skipped a little. That's my nitpickery for ya. :p
Otherwise, fantastic job mate.
Oh, if you get a chance you should check out my track that you reviewed once more, I added a sh*t ton more.
I like all of what you have going on here, very original, very cool, very touching. THOUGH! My one beef with this track is that the phase/wah thing you have going on there completely overlaps your voice, and as the user above me said, that you DO have a nice voice, therefore it shouldn't be hidden behind a loud phaser. Turn that down a little bit so we can hear you, and you'll have a favorite from me.
Ah, man. I love this. It doesn't need vocals to be awesome. It's got personality, it's got life, and it's got a damn backbone.
You did a phenomenal job, and it was a pleasure working with you. You're not just a collab partner, you're a friend. Again I say bravo to you sir, on making something crazy good.
I am glad you like it. I worked so damn hard to try to get the vocals to work with this. I feel like such a bumbling idiot in music still. I am sorry I couldn't have made something greater of this song. I think I suck at collaborations because I feel a major obligation to do well for the person I work with's sake, which overloads my obsessiveness and drives me mad.
You are a great guy, and I appreciate your working with me and input very much. I am proud to call you a new friend.
Being a huge fan and artist in the whole "epic cinematic" style of music, I have to say that I do like this. I like it a lot, actually. One think I think you may be able to improve on is the smoothness when you switch loops/samples/whatever you use. It's a little chunky, but that gets better in due time. In any case, well done.
Might I suggest a little reverb on the bells? It's like depth perception in a video game, the bells are right in front of you so they're clear as day, though all the other instruments have a voice aswell, just not as clear. You can bring out those voices just by dampening the other.
Very cool, don't find much like this on Looperman. The only thing that I can really suggest is to put a screen, or a sock or something over the microphone when you record so you don't get each breath in the recording.
Other than that, you've got something brilliant here. Well done!
Hey there, thanks for the tip. I have recently also discovered a "de-esser" setting on my Line6 Tone Port - which I try and use to "clean up" my vocals. And also, considering I record it all in my bedroom, I don't expect it to sound flawless. But thanks for the tip - will def. try it
out.
One thing that did irk me a little is the drums. They don't seem to fit in too well with the rest of the song. Not the rhythm, or the variation for that matter. Everything else has a good amount of reverb on them, why not add a little to the drums to get the sound? :D
I may give that a shot. I didn't really pay attention to that. What bites is I get so excited about uploading my songs when they are done. I know that I should sit on them for a day or two and check them out again before deciding if the mix has it or not. I need to start practicing that. Thanks for letting me know. I let you know when I get it fixed.
