This is yet another of my (apparently crap) audio submissions done on Beast synthesis software, on piano roll. I am very proud of the drums on this track, mainly due to my first ever incorporation of the high-hat emulator. I am rather pleased with the fill too. I have slowly stepped away from my old leslie organ tactics, but if you listen real close, it is in there. I (accidentally) mixed the xtal string synth and the SID saw synth to somehow create a harpsichordesque sound.

"Repetitive."

date: December 10, 2008

Okay.....
The mastering on the song could certainly use work. The instruments sound too digital and a little more mastering is needed to bring them to life. Unless of course you were intending on this sound. Which I can't complain, some video games do have this sound to them.
As for the song itself. The melody is..... somewhat... creepy. Not very though. You didn't put enough into it to make it "creepy". Another thing is that you're repeating the same thing over and over again. Which is totally fine, but you're going to need more variation within your song so that it doesn't bore the audience out.
With that said, you could also make it longer by adding more variation to it. Also, the end to this..... is rather ear hurtful. Organ chord ending is fine... but not so loud.
Keep working on the song.

Like I've said to others before, I'm afraid I have little to no access to good mastering software, as, not only am I using Linux, it's a rare distribution of it, so I'm afraid what I've got is the best thing available-this sound was not intended. As for your second point, regarding the "creepiness", that was just the best name I could think of at the time. I know it is repetitive. It is one of my curses. When I write a piece, I always seem to add to it instead of change it-so there is always little variation. My "Questin" piece is a slight exception to this. Yeah, sorry about the ending, I don't know what I was thinking. The piece was originally composed for 3 guitars, but as my choice of software has no MIDI compatability, I had to choose from the crappy synths available. Thanks for your honesty though, most bad reviews I get don't give tips on how to improve, but yours does, so I will take these points into account.

You got some work to do with the mastering, but the song is very well composed. Very nice for a video game loop! Keep it up!

9/10, 5/5

Check my latest, tell me what you think ;)

Thanks, you're very kind. Unfortunately, Beast is not a very popular synth program, most of the emulators are very poor and little in numbers. (which is why I've been so dominately based on the leslie organ-it actually sounds like the instrument), so mastering isn't really an option. I love your track though, very well mastered. I think that could work as a christmas song.
