Score: 8
"Its Interesting..."
date: October 24, 2009
First off, the choir annoyed me greatly. It just sounded kinda bad in my opinion. The choir itself wouldn't have been abd. But the way you wrote and edited the choir was what got me. It just sounded all whooshy and muddy. Maybe that was the idea, but still I can't say I liked it.
The percussion sounded really good. The only problem for me was there was little to no variation. Its pretty much straight downbeat the entire way, which is pretty typical of this type of music. So I can't really hold that against you too much, but I do believe there could have been much more in the way of variation in the percussion.
The synths were interesting. I like the one moog type sounding synth that carried the only real melody line I heard in the song. (The one at 2:30.) It had a very nice quality to it, and was not obnoxiously trance-like in its creation. For that I commend you because it sounded unique actually, and was not just "another trance synth."
Can't say I like the lead synth around the 3:45 mark. It just didn't fit with the rest of the song. The entire song has this warm and mysterious tone to it, yet that synth belonged in some obnoxious dance tune that you hear the kiddies on NGs write all the time. I think what you wrote would have worked fine, but you need to find a more appropriate synth there.
I think you did well here on the mix and mastering of the song. No instruments/synths stick out or get to hidden. And the percussion does a great job of enhancing the song without getting in the way. As for mastering, the song sounds as one cohesive unit. And there are no frequencies in the audio spectrum that are screaming compared to others, nor are any really all that hidden it seems. Maybe the high shelf is hidden slightly, but that is expected with this sort of music.
4/5 and 8/10 overall. This is very good, but there are one or two important things that need fixed. But definitely a good solid song here. :-)
