Hi,

This is a track that I decided to do because I wanted to take a break from dubstep. I think it also helps with "writer's block" so yea...RATE AND REVIEW PLEASE!

Uniform - marching robots?

This track sound borderline industrial, with either the marching impression that you give, or the sound of hammers beating down on anvils in some manufactorium of sorts. I feel that I'm listening to something by Depeche Mode or Daft Punk, who could have influenced this piece in no small part.

The vocals are quite quiet - I'd suggest that you increase their presence, so that they become harder hitting, as their message is delivered. They don't drown the music out - quite the opposite, in fact - but that's gone too far the other way, I feel.

Perhaps something like a klaxon - a change of shift hooter could be used between verses or verse and chorus here, as the industrial roots of this piece speak to me and part of the workforce is substituted for another. If you were to make it Industrial, I'd make the beat more metallic and powerful, so that you can reap the benefits of the power within this sort of music.

Hmm ok that's a sound suggestion! I think I'll have to try a different approach in the next track I make like this. I've never really done industrial before, and I am still kinda nooby but I will try haha!

Interesting! :D

I was really suprised by the tempo of this song, but it works and I agree with AetherX "No one says that all songs of any genre have to have a certain tempo".

The drums sound good, and have a nice overall power to them. Your leads are pretty nice, but I did feel that they could have used a bit more effort. Your bassline is generic, but good; it all works out. The Mixing/ Mastering could be better, but this does sound pretty clean for the most part.

Take a second look at:
- The vocal sounds are pretty jumbled sounding (At first I thought I had another window open with a video playing or something... cause these sound pretty off)
- A couple Kick samples you used really sounded blatty

Overall not bad, but not my favorite piece either

Herdunculus responds:

Ah yes, I was also kinda sketchy of the vocals too, but I think I will come close to making it better next time! Thanks a lot!

Cool

The first thing I noticed was that is was a little slow for a dance song, but who cares? No one says that all songs of any genre have to have a certain tempo. The drums are great, very powerful. In fact ,the overall mastering is very well done, each instrument is clear in the mix.

I liked the use of vocal samples, it adds another element to the track.

As far as criticism, I think your instrumentation could be a little more varied. Like you could throw in a part in the middle with a synth that isn't used anywhere else in the song. Just a suggestion. Also, I'm a big melody guy, and although this is catchy, the melody gets a little repetitive.

Overall, I like it. A very unique track.

8/10
4/5

Herdunculus responds:

Hmm ok I can see what you're saying. It sounds like really good advice, i think i might revamp this song! thanks!
