Nice song...
Kinda like it, the drums, the bass, and the lead of the guitar.
I like all of your submissions.

Reviews for "Journey of a Kite"
huh...
dude whats this from? it sounds good im just wondering what its from. anyways grats and props 15/10
jnry3 responds:
It's an original. ;-) Thanks for the grats, 5 and ten! (Hmm... makes fifteen, huh?) ^_^
Excellent~
I like the effects here. The instruments also seem quite appropriate, even for a kite with steroids~
jnry3 responds:
Thanks! ^_^ Aside from reverb, the only instrument with effects is the guitar (overdrive).
Great
The bass has a great slappy sound, though some major eqing could have made it sound deeper and fatter than it is- but I know that's hardly possible. Guitar is great (though the texture of it doesn't sound absolutely perfect- but that's nitpicking). Piano has a lot of variation, which is lovely and basically what keeps the song going in for example most of the second minute. Along with the drums of course- so- did ya program that, or play it real life? Ever how you did it, it was done greatly. One thing though- the constant stream of breaks and bridges, buildups and so; it makes the song sound generally quite empty- so some extra instrumentation between parts- I don't know, woodwinds, orchestrals, countermelodies to guitars or whatever- would make it more of my liking.
But it's still great as is, and you get my five.
jnry3 responds:
Thanks for the five! ^_^
Everything in this track is programmed, from the instruments (piano, guitar, bass, and drums) to the panning and EQ.
Hmm... methinks it's crowded the way it is, but orchestrals (I'm thinking strings) would be a nice addition. Gonna figure out how that will fit, though.
Again, thanks a lot for your review! ^_^

JEEZ THIS IS GOOD (i'm probably give it a 9 because i'm in a harsh reviewing mood hahah-still definetly good enough to go into my favs)
another kickass composition once again. Reallly freaking cool enthralling bass riff, super-joyous piano and great, well varied drum loops! The guitar riff is kickass as well, its the perfect sound to glace off the whole mix. The piano composition is so beautiful, you use the perfect combination of arpeggios to make me super happy ^___^ distorted guitar chords sound nice on the side...I like the section around 2:35ish, with the nice bass riff, interesting tom fills, and its amazing how when the simple snare came in it really had me bobbing my head.
the sound is crisp and great. I love how the bass feels, its got a definable texture and doesnt have a muddy sound that usually sinks beneath the mix. drum samples are mixed quite well and the piano is authentic enough for my tastes. I think the lead guitar could be tweaked better-I personally prefer the tones that you used in "All the things you said" and "I shouldnt fall in love"-a tad more reverb and a delay effect would be the perfect fit for this track, maybe symbolic for a kite blowing high and gracefully in an empty but kind field. I think the tone is quite suitable for the power chords tho :)
I guess I personally would like more lead guitar in here I guess :) and maybe some soft strings during a section where there's not a huge layer of instruments too.
anyways, this is fantastic jnry! It's guaranteed to cheer anybody up. Lots of visual stuff this could represent. It kinda reminds me of the video game Spyro the purple dragon when's he's flying around, and also watching Nickelodeon in the morning as a kid (the best times), this would be perfect for a happy credits scene where everybody returns home alive and well and there's a huge feast! Or even music to wake up to for a ringtone/alarm. I just feel like running through green hills as fast as I can while jumping in the air with glee!
jnry3 responds:
Again, thanks for another golden review. ^_^ And I'm glad I've made that happy effect on people who hear this track.
I'm actually tweaking this song again (too bad I can't edit this page anymore) in preparation for the indie album. I'm actually quite happy with the tone of the guitar here, but I'd prefer adding compression instead of reverb or delay, but I'd put in a dash of reverb.
Hmm... if I'll use strings, it'll be more of a filler. We'll see, we'll see... but I'm already happy with the set of instruments in this track.
Drums and cymbals will be reworked on. I assembled a HUGE set in my sequencer. Right now, it's an 8-piece set (1 snare, 2 toms, 1 kick bass, 2 hi-hats, 1 crash, and 1 ride); it's now in a 16-piece set, with more crash, ride and tom varieties.
Again, thanks for the big, big review! ^_^
