Reviews for "Back To The Fifties"
Cuzone responds:
Yeah, I love tetres! Whatever that is. Thanks for the review! :D
this makes my balls tingle a little too.
i agree with roflmaomgodanm, this rocks the sackk
Cuzone responds:
It must be the upright bass. Playing bass while naked tickles your balls.
hmmm
my balls tingle when i hear this - bad? - i think not
Cuzone responds:
oh, I hope that's a good thing! haha thank you very much for the 10 and the uh, tingling balls :D
Nice
I liked it. It seems like you worked hard on this, and I think the effort was worth it. Good job.
Cuzone responds:
I did! Thank you very much.
great concepts!
this is quite an original track (although I feel to see the contact with the Bluegrass genre?) Cuzone, good chord progressions, love the old school upright bass.
Like the last track I reviewed, this could use some more work on the transitions but overall feels more full and flows smoother. However, some of the sounds could be upgraded while still retaining a 50s feel. The piano could be traded in for a more authentic sounds like FL keys and a GM standard. I would slap some reverb on it, slightly bandpass perhaps to give it a more 'old' feel, and vary the velocities to attain a more realistic sound. The strings (sytrus) could also be layered with a soundfont to get a fresher sound, which I think would all pair better with the bass and opening drum sounds. Listening through for a second time, sounds like you did- but one more string patch wouldnt hurt. I'd ditch the clean samples that come in later in the track and use the ones in the opening throughout. consider giving them some compression and slight distortion to bring them forward, perhaps gradually laying off the "radio" EQ/effects as the song moves forward)
The rhythmic feel other than bass (which seems to be a sample, even :/) is quite boring- The piano chords and strings hit on the strong beats in the same predictable pattern throughout the entire song. Use syncopation and don't be afraid to ditch the block chord structure.
The tape stop that came in at 1:15 was a good idea, but seemed forced. I would play more with this and don't feel like you have to go straight back into the main premise of the song. The drums could also utilize cymbals to highlight transitions and different sections. I would keep the drums flowing throughout.
The chords and piano melody, sampled bass, and lo-fi drums are definitely keepers. A saxophone or another blown instrument to play sustained notes would also be a nice addition. The composition of the song was solid, but new samples IMO are strongly suggested. Keep up the originality and meshing of different stylistic elements.
Cuzone responds:
So much blahblahblah! I didn't hire you. You don't have to tell me what to do. Don't tell me what to do. If I did all those things YOU suggested, this would have been YOUR song, not mine!
FL Keys is the worst piano sound in the planet. Goes to show how much you know.
PS: Thanks for liking, uh, portions of the song.
PPS: The bluegrass thing was a mistake, but I've just fixed it. Thanks (honestly!) for warning me about that.
PPPS: It wasn't Cuzone who wrote this. It says so on the description! Where it says "Love, Timraband".
