I hope this makes best of the week.

LIKES:

The way the outro and intro work pretty good from end, looping back to the beginning... you don't hear that very often.

The Intro was great.

The sounds used were not recognizable in FL studios, nice.

The mix wasn't too bad, Karco gave plenty of suggestions to fix that.

The score was great... i have no suggestions

I think you're really going to get pro quality on your next work... congrats.

DISLIKES:

The outro, needs to land the listener down more gently as well as alert us its coming to an end... if you don't know what I mean by these stupid metaphors PM me.

Length.... make it longer.

Guitar, as Karco said, centralize that guitar... and at times it becomes hidden, locate those spots and bring it out some. I do like that the guitar comes in panned (right i believe) but bring it to the middle at the latest after 1 measure.

The Bass..... i think for the most part the roughness of it is ok, but i would generally keep it smoother, until times you bring it out and you want it rough to bring it out for a moment and change the mood slightly, before going back into the general song feel. I would especially be careful with keeping it rough when it is just percussion and bass.... I would think maybe rough it as you lead into verse or chorus, or rough it at the start of the verse or chorus and then filter it back to a smoother state.

You know... if you do some better mixing you can easily have a vocalist in this, and it would just be brilliant!

PM when you have new work, and especially if you update this song.

yeah the outtro got a little rushed sicne i was a) considering making it longer, and b) its intended to be thrown into a mix by my friend so i didn't really pay much attention to it, but given i expand it, ill do better hehe.

i thought the roughness was good, i tried to use the smoother one for smoother parts. but i guess its a little too rough? ill work on it.

and if iwere to do vocals, well, i'd center the mix around the vocalist, like in this remix i made: http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/168894. now, to find a vocalist... hummm

i will do, and ill take a look at your stuff in a bit. maybei can whore myself enough to thwart the 0bombers on tuesday? haha

my review

Since you reviewed one of my songs, I'm deciding to return the favor.

My review:

Nicely EQd, but I still think the hi hats are a tad bit loud...maybe it's just my preference.

Good length, but for a dance track, it should be a lot longer. Like 7 minutes. lol.
I think what you have here is the first half of a great track. Just keep working on it, and it should sound top-notch in no time.

Add a litlte more instruments and such around 2:50. Seems a little empty, maybe a little too basic right there.

Yes, you are right, add more hi hats, maybe some wood blocks or something. Or a shaker.

I like the pad, a lot.

The thing to def fix: the melody. I don't know what to tell you there. It's not the notes, but the sound itself that you chose. I feel that it maybe isn't strong enough...or maybe it just needs to be a bit louder. It's great, don't get me wrong, but I just feel that it is lacking, and I can't put my finger on it.

Well, I thought that should give you some ideas to think about if you want to keep modifying this track, or suggestions for something new and better.

Also, look into record label signing. Not kidding. Like Karco said, but I'm saying you probably should get into a label of some kind. If you don't know where to look, I could probably help you out there...

p4c responds:

shakers are actually a pretty good plan for this i think... hmm, ill try that out hehe. and ill listen to some trance songs to think of ways to extend this interestingly... hehe yeah ill work on it.

the pad is actually a rhodes, phased and sidechained if ur interested. and yeah, everything that i chose throughout the piece is somewhere between intense and chill. a kind of ill at ease, i guess, ill think about ur suggestion to fix the melody.

hehe label talk seems to be getting thrown at me more often now.... if i was more devoted maybe i would but as of now this is more or less a hobby, so i cant throw out music very often hehe. ill think about it, i guess. maybe later? hehehe

thanks for the in depth review! it helps a lot :D

Powerfull stuff.

I liked that bass hit, really tight. I also liked the snapping in the beginning. Crashes didn't bother me so much, but the static/beach noise just ended up hurting my ears. Guitar was a nice touch. Did you record it yourself? Nice job, I enjoyed it :)

p4c responds:

i guess it could be a little bit softer lol. no, i didnt play the guitar hehe. jst played around with samples :)

[Fro]

Very good.

I thought this was a very solid song. It was well produced and composed. It had a solid bass line and groovy drum beat. I also thought that that the guitar is a nice addition. Overall it had two different ambiances: funk and techno. Good job catching these two feelings. A pretty good song all in all.

Smooooooth

The beat and the synths go so well together and just creates a silky smooth sound. When the actual main beat comes in, it escalates. Perhaps you could emphasize the extra percussion between the snare, kick and hi-hat? Also, it could be me, but I think this song would sound better if it had a free melody on top somewhere later in this song.

good job on creating a silky smooth song!
