"Last song with the FL Demo?"

by: Karco
date: July 10, 2007

So does that mean you're getting the full version? Or have you decided you're going to try something else? Anyway...

Hmm, well, the main three notes seem to be exactly the same as mine in Aurora! Copier! You said this was LOOSELY based off of my song! XD

And here's Cygnus... it works better in ambient songs, if you ask me... here it clutters up the song a bit. It doesn't quite contribute to the song as well, either. On top of that, it's detuned. :\ The bass-ish lead isn't that bad, though...

Just a question - what sort of drums are those? The kick sounds like an FL preset but everything else sounds completely different from everything I've heard. Are they heavily FX'ed FL presets or something? Anyway I can hear you also copied my kicks... >:( :D They're a little bit off but just as good, I think.

Here's an interlude, though rhythmwise the melody that's playing is lacking a little bit.

The arp comes and goes and I don't really like the sound of it... hmm, I think I know the deal with this song. See, not everything contributes to the same attitude, the same feeling. Songs can be SO much better when they're like that. ;) So, let's say, Vapor? Everything fit together very well. Ok, it wasn't perfect, but it's less of a mess than this song.

Not everything fits together and the quality's pretty bad. Keep trying - though not on this, I reccomend you start something new. The last thing we need is for you to make a Vapor out of all of your songs. XD

Hate to lower your score... :\ But I think it deserves a 4 so that's what it's getting. Once again, keep trying. :)

Author's Response:

Thanks. The drums are actualy soundfonts I downloaded. I need work on getting better at rhythm and making the instruments fit together.

Oh, and no prob on lowering the score =p. I'd rather have a 0 with some good tips than a 5 that's not meant and doesn't have any tips >_<

"what"

by: SBB
date: July 10, 2007

how's this based on Karco's song. This sounds completely different to me.

okay that thing that sounds like it's got an frequency lfo with an 1/32 rate is kinda annoying, but it sounds quite good.

The basslead is a fucking monster, but you can overdo it even more for a giant mofo bass. Triangle-ish lead, k, it's a bit uncalled for but whatever.

good work, but I really think you can do a lot more with this- also end your song, it just stops

Author's Response:

The bass is the same (note-wise) and the kicks are the same as Karco's Aurora.

As for the "thing that sounds like it's got a frequency..." etc. etc. I like it too, sorry it's so annoying >_<

Don't cuss.

Yeah, I thought the bass was a, uh...monster. I should probably tone it down, eh?

Thanks for the review!
