Reviews for <KZ> Underwater Chills

[Buoy]

ahh well

Now I have this big list of people I really want to review once and I think I should review some stuff by you now.

Luved the intro, it is indeed a very great underwater track, and the thing with this is that it has so much in it which doesn't clearly come into the track, though it has a lot of stuff that is there.

I like the leads in this, which makes it a bit harder than if you didn't take it there. Good choice.

But I DIDNT like the fx bubble thing i nthis, you should have put rain into it instead.

Good stuff indeed but I will 0 it since it made me shiver of cold as Maestro sed

Kirizzle responds:

YOU DIDN'T LIKE THE BUBBLES!? Oh well, I only put them in there to keep with the the underwater theme.

And rain... you say? I don't recall it ever raining UNDER the sea, before. So I don't think rain would be well suited for an underwater themed song.

If it sends shivers down people's spines then I have done my job as an audio artist :D

Damn fine

I loved the sound effects at the beginning! I also hate pools >:(

So you get a 0 for making me think of the freezing cold pools at life guard duty...

I joke, I jest, I jibe... YOU GET 1 :D

No no, seriously now.

I liked the main lead, high and shrill, like the kind that cuts straight through water. There is good feel to this piece too. I'm going to have to study your DnB songs more, to understand how to makes it better.

This song also loops perfectly, you made me dive into the pool again before I realized that it looped...

>:"(

Unneeded pool time!

Anyways, great stuff, keeps them coming, another 5/5 from me (just sign here on the dotted line)

Kirizzle responds:

lol... jibe.

The song isn't suppose to loop, but the bells are suppose to hypnotize the listener into missing the ending and then listening to the song 5 more times! Muwaha, me so devious ;P

Thanks a bunch for the good review and vote, Maestro!

'tis good

this is a very well-put-together track, with lots of intelligent filtering and a great beat. The bass-i-ness of the whole thing seemed a bit overpowering, but that may have been part of the whole underwater feel you were going for, in which case it works well. Excellent use of whale sounds, though I would've liked to have heard more. You can never have too many whale sounds, I always say.

Kirizzle responds:

Thank you for your kind words :D I'm glad someone noticed my hard work.

The bass was suppose to be a somewhat over-powered since I was going for that underwater "omniscient" feel, like being surrounded by a large body of water in every direction.

I thought the whale sounds were a nice touch too ^_^ I suppose I could have used more of them through-out the track but I couldn't really find any decent places to sneak them in :/

Thanks for the good review!

Nice song!

I enjoyed it. The beats were very cool, the whole song was nice. The splashing in the beginning was also very cool. It gave an "oceanic" air to the music. It would be cool to hear it inside a submarine!
I really liked it. Keep making music here!

Kirizzle responds:

Woo, it's like the only underwater themed track on NG, which is why super-mario-bros and armor-games keep using it for their underwater flash games XD!

Loved the song!

I gave it a 9 because the percussion wasn't crisp enough. It sounded like the mids were scooped and the lows were on 11. Other than that, it was great! Have you heard of Noisia? If not, that's how the percussion should have sounded like to get the full effect.

Kirizzle responds:

YES! YES MY GOOD SIR! Finally a review that ACTUALLY REVIEWS the song, I haven't gotten one of these in ages. I know what you mean with the percussion, I over-compressed the song and put too much output gain on so the drums don't peak and are muffled by the loud bass. I could have also layered and EQ'd my drum samples 'cause they were kinda bad to begin with. I dunno what you mean by "scooped mids" and the "lows on 11" part though, but I assume it means something like I put a notch filter smack dab on 800Hz with a wide Q, followed by raising the lows with the lo shelf knob. THEN I GUESS YOU'RE RIGHT! I think the song has some mids though... somewhere, but they are all over- or undertones, no synth plays predominately in the mids. Well anyway, glad you liked the song and I really appreciate the review.
