Reviews for Karco - Temple

What's nice is

From just the beginning, I was entranced by the piano riff against the arctic winds (in fact, I'd almost prefer that emptier section to linger on a bit longer so that I could've savored it a bit more). But the pads were nice too - really like their organic, flowing nature. The drums were subtle to taste, though it sounds like to me they are the main source of the crackling? Overall, this all coalesces into quite an exquisite sounding piece, though certainly I wish were a bit longer (or just drawn out a bit more).

I took a brief look at the waveform, and it looks like the crackles come where there are flat peaks. I'm guess this is probably due to "soft-clipping," so may trying lowering your levels (especially the drums) some more so that nothing clips at internally. Or maybe you applied a limiter or some sort that cut off some peaks? I donno, but yeah, that's my guess about the crackling anyway.

Anyways, great job on this! I'll be looking forward to stuff from you in the future!

Karco responds:

Heh, look at that, a longer review! :D Thanks.

Augh, having the emptier section linger is a good idea, I should have done that! D: Glad you liked the pads, and the drums were one of the sources of the crackling - the other is the 8-measure FX that plays at the beginning and end of the song.

Hmm, maybe I should have made it a bit longer, while keeping the addicting shortness/ending?

I never thought of that, I should try it later! Thanks for that! :D

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it! :D I don't usually make ambience but considering this song's success, I just might make more sooner or later. ;)

Calm and catchy.

I really did feel the ambient in this audio. The melodies were probably the best parts in this audio. The piano sounded the best I have to say. I was impressed by that. This audio kinda reminded me of a game for the PS2 called Dark Cloud. Some of the sounds actually sounded similar to some of the sound tracks in that game. Overall, I liked this! Awesome Work Karco! :D

Hey Seamonky, I've been seeing you reviewing around the AP and I was wondering when you'd get to my stuff! :D Looks like you finally have, here's my response:

I liked the piano too, especially towards the end, which was personally my favorite part of this song - it pretty much came out of nowhere while I was making it, and I liked it, so I kept it! :D Never played Dark Cloud, sorry. :P

Thanks for the review and the 5, glad you liked it! :D

Nice track. Sounds like space exploration music.

I feel like Copy and Pasting your Author Commentary into my Reviewer Commentary. I don't think I could do any better justice than with your own words. lol.

Nice work. 8/10

Karco responds:

Heh, that's fine. At least you liked it. :D Thanks for the review.
