"Nifty..."
date: January 22, 2009
I love the opening piano part, it has a very nice sound to it. I like when it all comes in together as well. Nicely done there.
The choir sound is iffy, but I know that if it were a real choir this would be epic. So I won't hold it against you for not being able to afford to record a real choir. :-P I really like the sound around the 1:30 mark with the piano. It really becomes the focus for a sec and sounds nice.
I do feel some Cradle of Filth influence throughout the song. I used to be a huge fan, but lost interest in them about four years ago. But for the sound you were going for you did well. Obviously the sound isn't the best because it is on FL Studio, but I know how it is not being rich and being able to record your shit for real.
I think strings in this song would be a big improvement. Cause I'm not really hearing any.
Oh man, I love the sound at about the 2:20ish mark. Very groovy there, and it sounds great. Really though, add some strings there, cause it will improve the sound greatly I think.
Piano moment at the 4:00ish mark, fuckin-A!!! I'm a pianist, so when I hear good piano stuff I get excited! :-D Very nice moment there for sure.
I really can't give any technical advice from a producer/critic standpoint, because it is on FL Studio. There is only so much you can do on that program, so I won't hate on you for the quality of the sounds.
Overall this is a nice piece. I just wish you were able to record it for real with a band. If you ever do, let me know. I would love to hear it. 4/5 and 9/10, because if I give you 5/5 you will never go add those strings I want!!!! :-D
Hope this was helpful bud!
