Reviews for "Troubled (3min42sec)"

loved the breathy voice

Really awesome everything. I realllllly loved this song after the vocals kicked in. Then they stopped and you had some awesome sounds bounce in with a slower tempo, I thought that was the best part in the song. I really dug all those elaborated drum sounds added around then, really nice. Damn, I'm done, lol.
I noticed you took a good months break as commandor of the sea....SEE WHAT HAPPENS!!?! CHAOSS!!

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Hehe, I'm happy you liked the song so much! The half time part is very chill and cool sounding, I have to agree.

lol, I am commander of the sea, aren't I? Is it really Chaos? I might have to restore order

Awesome job for #1 on the weekly top 5

It sounds like you didn't really need much help on this...I think you have it pretty much out of "trouble". Though this isn't my favorite of yours, it most certainly leaves a good aural memory in my head. It is a tad random, but the notes that do seem to brand into my aural senses definitely stay there. I love it when that happens, especially when it sounds as good as this. ; )

I love using "Shit Talker" too, but I can't seem to figure out how to save any of my samples on it. Maybe you could "help me". lol That choir boy sample sounds awfully familiar. It's the only text-to-speech sample that can have automated singing with it.

My favorite part in this strange but attractive composition was the "bow" sounding synth that grooves its way into the track about 75% through. It's a very different sounding synth. Great use of the arpeggios and rhythm. Congrats Ciao!

Yes, another Dreamscaper review!

I'm really glad you enjoyed the song, I purposely made it a bit dreamlike with the instruments blending into each other a bit so that it could kind of stick in the subconcious level of one's brain... I hope it worked, and if you say so then it looks like it did! I'm actually not familiar with "Shit Talker", hehe unless that's your term of endearment for the speech synthesizer bundled with FL Studio. It made it rather easy to put the voice part together :)

And that "bow" sounding synth is pretty 303ish, it's pretty cool eh? I thought that it fit in perfectly right there. Glad you liked the song and thanks so much for the review & listen!

Nice bubbly melodies....

I lovely the never ending arpeggios on this track, and the nice fat tones. I really like how you used themes that have a solid base different EQ frequencies so each aspect had more cut and separation.

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Never ending arpeggios was all I could muster about a year ago, but they sound good with the rest of the stuff I wrote to finish this song. Hey man, I'm glad you noticed the EQ tweaks I made, that's pretty cool! Thanks for the good review and score, appreciate it much!

Riddled Techtonics.

Pretty nutz. I like the appredigos but I can't distinguish a solid lead. That Voice lead works great and the bassline and drumkit sounds pretty smooth. Good stuff, might need some more variety.

AdmiralConquistador responds:

A solid lead is pretty much there after about a minute in. However, glad you liked the arpegios and other stuff, thanks for the review and listen

Woo Hoo.

AC on the top! =) Good job on getting number one. The song wasn't half bad, haha. I like the melody. It seems random, but perfectly random. It's weird. I like the whole song, the arps sounded really nice. Good job man. =)

AdmiralConquistador responds:

hehe, thanks man, I can't wait to hear some of the finished products of those tracks you sent me... they sound damn good! Anyway, glad you liked this song, and the randomness... hmm perhaps because it's one of the first trance melodies I've ever written? If you'll care to take a visit to the bottom of my music page, you'll see another track called Troubled. It's pretty much the same thing as my old one except redone and remastered and updated with new parts and new synths. Thanks again for the review!
