Alright, so I made this loop a year ago for my older bro's national competition (where he and a team made a wooden F1 car, raced it, and did a presentation on it). It wasn't used, and so it sat in my collection of lonely songs. However, he did the same competition again with a different team, and I offered this song up again, and it was used, yay! I didn't realize at first, however, that I needed to update the song...so I did.

-Get ready to race, cause the ending will definitely get you going :D

-Credits: Announcer-Sample from free game "Trackmania Nations," check it out, it rocks ;D
-Car racing by: internet, can't remember where. I purposely panned it so it sounds like it's going right in front of you from left to right!

"haha sounds like a commercial"

this is nice and simple, but it does the job haha. it sounds like it could be the menu music on some f1 racing game.

the only thing i have against it is that it doesnt sound very immersive, while i think it should be. try panning things to different channels and using a stereo imager or something to expand higher frequencies to utilize surround sound magic awesomeness :) maybe also split the lower notes and the higher notes on the lead and apply separate effects, and continue with the pad that came in at :24 to make it a little more encompassing.

the retro sound of the drums were nice, leave them lo-fi like that :) nice job on this submission, its a very nice loop.

Thanks! It was a fun make. I'll have to keep those details in mind next time, this was a quick put-together, so I got it done pretty fast and didn't get nit-picky :P

"Lol accendently voting!"

date: July 4, 2008

Sorry for the accendently voting.. :D i voted 5 3.78 / 5.00 (+ 0.051) Before listening to it... lucky guy! :D

Now that i listened to it i think it deserves it!
You were saying its for a racing game ( menu ). Well i can understand that. The obvious racing-car sound.. And some vocals probably also has something to do with racing. The breakbeat is great. Kinda dnb'ish. To be honest. I hate that rif going trough the whole song. Well its kinda oke. But there's gotta be a big thumping bass under it! Maybe an reese sound for that extra racing feel.
Love the overal effect you used, including that stuttering.

Anyways,

-maybe make it longer? 45 seconds will not do sir!
-Maybe take my advice and put (another) Bass under it. Big and phat dnb-ish bass.
-Maybe some more race-based vocals? There's plenty on the web. Like
'start your engines' or some countdown.
-A big very melodic chorus! But now it might end up being a tottally different song!

My opinion is entirely based on my taste of music. So take it or not! >: (

Please check out my new song :)

Author's Response:

Haha, I probably won't change it because it's more of a background theme than anything. I have so many other projects that I devote my time to, so in due time, you might see some of them ;)

-Yes, I will take a look at your newest song, thanks for the review!
