"Hey! :)"
date: August 16, 2007
Took me long enough, huh? But I was going to get to this soon enough... :P
A bit of a slow intro - I was expecting something faster, better. You know what I mean? The intro to Tranceformation(I'm not going to bother checking if I spelled it the same as you did), for example... that was golden. :D
Once the song DOES get going, though... it's good! :D The string thing is a bit old, but it works. :D
Nice use of that sliding bass guitar! :D Used very well. Not too much else to say about it, but you used it creatively and you were creative to use it in the first place. :D Also your melodywork is very good, though could do with a bit more rhythmic diversity.
That bass of yours is on the offbeat... and it's not very original of you to do that. I mean, sure, it works! :D But I've gotten past that and you've been at it for... what, just as long as I have? Longer? XD Come on, you're better than that. Arp it, delay it, go crazy, just don't drop it on the offbeat and walk away. ;)
Hmm. When you use the reversed kick... is it just me, or does the song distort? Careful. :P In fact, the song's clarity is... second-rate. And that reminded me... I've been mastering my songs a bit lately, and experimenting with different kinds of speakers and headphones. They've been sounding a lot better, too. :D Even if it just means using Fruity Parametric EQ 2 or something, you should give it a try sometime, it really makes your songs sound a LOT better. Right now... your hihat is weak, and the kick distorts in places - again, especially when distorted. Mastering can make that better without touching the volume knobs. >:)
Sheesh, you know what I realized? I sound like I'm advertising mastering. But really, you should give it a try sometime. :P
That's about it, hope I've helped! :) Looking forward to your next song, hopefully it'll be even better. :D
