So I kept trying to tweak my sound until I finally reached a point where I liked it. At the same time, I've been recently reminded of an old TV show I used to watch called Swat Kats. And also its awesome theme. After hearing the theme...this cover became inevitable. :)

Wicked!

Sounds close, short obviously. Reason I know found it on boomerang channel and watched it to death! Was my fav as a kid and still is as I get out of my teen years. The only show where the people were bipedal animals and were awesome. They were even an influence to make me join the airforce.

rtnario responds:

Of course, and yeah, I based it directly off the original XD Well, for me it was on Cartoon Network, and when I remembered it I remembered this theme first and foremost. And that it'd be a great idea to cover it. Wow, they must play a very important in your life o: Thanks for the review!

Haha

Haha I love the Swat Cats theme. I watched it a bit here and there a while back. I didn't have the channel that it aired on, or at least I didn't know when it aired hence my not watching it xD

On with the review. As you can easily tell, this song is very short. That makes for an easy 10 (cheater). In case I don't have a well though out review of it, I think that there's another 10 of yours on here. I will check out the song again, and try to listen in to the details now that I'm using headphones again! The bass in this song is pretty nice and doesn't have an overpowering sound to it with the layout, but it isn't so weak as to make you strain your ears to hear it. The guitars sound pretty good as well, and the drums accompany them with precision. At least it's not like some of your other songs where you take the drum and give it an overdose xD

All in all, it's great, but I'd like to see this quality of music in a longer song. Listening to this 10 times to get out of it what I would get from 2 times of a decent length song. Also, what's with the 3-4 seconds of pure cymbal at the end? Haha oh well I won't mark off for what's after the song ends. Fading something out is what Audacity's for (if you're going to put it on an MP3 player/DSTwo). Good job, and keep it up. I can tell that this is one of your more recent songs that you uploaded (coming from 2009, which isn't THAT long ago), so I expect more recent songs to either be 10 or have some stupid mistake somewhere in them that I will crop out after downloading.

Aww XD As for me, I should rewatch the entire thing, it's obviously not on TV anymore and it'll definitely give me some nostalgia :D

Yep, very short indeed. First 10 ever! ...doesn't count! Too short! XD I need to get a 10 I can honestly be proud of, so just you wait :) Yeah, this is part of some more experimental mixing I did. I will point out though that the rhythm guitar mutes seem to lower in volume unnaturally thanks to my compression. So it should be a 9/10 8| Oh well XD And I love giving drums overdoses, else it wouldn't sound much like my style, but here, like I said, experimenting o:

Maybe I made the end too long, which can be faulted to me just plain exporting and uploading the song. Guess I was excited, didn't really think about so many factors like those song aesthetics in regards to the ending. And, hahaha, I completely get what you're coming for, and you have discovered a fellow DS-owner with a flashcart...three flashcarts, and fading out really would help on our Moonshells, eh? XD (btw, I'm jealous, I want my own Supercard DSTwo someday, want to test out its extra RAM capabilities) Anyways, on topic! Thanks yet again for the review, and I will get that 10 someday. =)
