Review

Hi Kawika,

What does Pacifica mean? I don't want to turn up the bass. Its you who should raise the bass for me when you mix a song. Here is what I thought.

The intro is okay. Not something amazing considering the bass and lead are playing the same pattern. I do like the bass sound though. Maybe use a better lead instrument next time. Especially at 42 seconds. That's a generic sample right there.

Not a bad transition at 56 seconds. Good job with the panning vox fx.

56 seconds again I think the bass works well here. The drums are good. Just that generic lead really destroys the experience. Some mean bass and some cheesy happy hardcore lead just doesn't mesh well for me.

Some of your fx sounds are actually quite neat. Kudos on making them. I also like the instrument at 2:33 seconds. However, again that fuzzy lead and generic sample ruins the moment. You should have used that 2:33 instrument more in this song.

So the song pretty much repeats until the end. No need to repeat myself again.

Overall, I feel this song isn't fully complete. Some instruments sound like you spent a good deal of time on. Some just feel like you got lazy and took the easy route to finish this song at a faster rate. The patterns of your fuzzy instrument is like 1/8 notes over and over again. There is essentially no change to this 1/8 pattern. Try to come up with more complicated patterns or you could always mix 1/8 stuff with quarter notes, half notes, 1/16, or anything else to get me a bit more surprised thus excited. Your song ain't that bad, but there definitely is room for improvement. Your on the right track though. Keep it up. 5/5 and 9/10 review

Bye for now

Pacifica= a generic tropical name. Usually names dont really have to mean anything except give the right message. What i ment by turn up the bass is a figure of speach.

I do agree that this piece can use some work, i think that way with all of my musics.

I really do appreciate your review, its criticism like this is what actually causes improvements.

very good

DjKavi responds:

thats a good thing ^_^ thanks

nice warm bass for the intro

I like where you take it at a minute in, great use of samples. no complaints really, all the samples and synths seem well-suited. at about 1:54 some things seem to get a little over-compressed though. I like the detuning that follows though, nice way to break things down.

seems a little busy at around 2:40-3:15, can't quite place my finger on it but one of the pads seems amiss somehow. once you drop at 3:30 it sounds fine though.

just a few small things that felt off but otherwise really -really- well done. :)

DjKavi responds:

Thank you for the awesome review, its rare you get people to actually break down the track and tell you their opinions other than saying...crap...haha. Thanks for your time to review this.
