im late :(
I dunno why I always forget to review you.. lol
The drums were cool, sounded like battle drums. The 'ahhh' choir voice thing was a nice touch when everything was playing at once. Aside from there being too much bass in the whole song, the only other thing I didn't like was the bell. It didn't seem to flow with the song. The melodys and song structure was top notch tho, and definately held a war feel to it.
aaah, so you see the problem too. Too much bass, oh how I equalized until my eyes bled tears. I need more practice with that equalizer, to date this was the best I could do.
I liked the bell :'(
Well you're not the first to suggest it's off, so it's probably my own biasm stating this.
I'm glad you liked the track m4ster, glad to hear from you, thank you for the review!
Nice job!
Nice job, lovely feel. You have less dissonant notes than you used to, which is good to see :)
I have two main complaints here. One, you have too much reverb. The second is that the piece is a bit thin. They go hand in hand, actually.
I would recommend taking out some of the reverb to give it a cleaner sound. You will then see that there are parts that are very sparse. Try beefing the piece up by adding harmonies to the piece. It seems that all I hear is drums and a melody, with an occasional counter melody. Adding more underlying parts will add a level of professionalism to the piece. Try adding some long tones in the bass to give the bottom end a little more presence, which could help compensate a decrease in reverb should you decide to try it out.
As always, nice melody work, and the piece had a nice flow to the piece. Certainly sounds like it could be a tribal piece, you've got quite an imagination. Maybe you could add some tom hits to give it a more war-drums sound?
Once again nice work, keep it up!
5/5
brilliant advice David, as you have noticed already, due the insane level of reverb that I used, adding any more countermelodies was not really an option, originally there was so much more, but it became a mess, a huge... huge mess. This I can attribute to those heavy drums at the beginning, it just sounded so good all reverbed and delayed that in order for the other instruments to... merge with it (if you know what I mean), they too had to be reverbed. However I will have to try all of these ideas out, for I was pretty stumped on how to go around equalizing and arranging this.
Thanks for the review David, truly it helped me out, and hopefully it will solve the issues at hand here, and I won't make the same mistake again. I'm glad you enjoyed it ^^.
Holy crap!
I first heard this as the menu theme on Pandemic: EoM and, having finished playing that to my satisfaction, went "holy crap, I NEED TO GET THE MUSIC TO THIS". And, lo and behold, I found your music.
This is just incredible. Very well-structured, and with enough texture to be truly chewy. Good show, sir!
I like chewy. Chewy is the essence of juicy feasts!
This song could be far better equalized, I was just learning about equalizing while making this song so the choir jump is a little loud, instruments arn't properly audible, and there was too much reverb on several instruments. I was planning on remaking this anthem one day, but with the tribe I made it for gone, I no longer feel the need.
I'm glad you enjoyed it though Coronaviridae. Thank you kindly for the review.
This song would be wonderful in a movie!!!
You know what I'm gonna say...
...Grins
Kudos all around. Keeping it diverse and all. Do you have a website of just your stuff. Without all the newgrounds around it?
MrDrunk! I'm so glad you dropped by! I was a little saddened to think you had left NG, your music was one that I keeps me coming back.
Are you submitting any new works anywhere?! If so where?
So many questions :')
To answer your question, I don't have my own site yet, but very soon in the future I am planning on becoming a part of a site which I hold high hopes for. It will still not be my site alone, but I've never liked the idea of having my own site with only my stuff. There's just no thrill in it, the halls sound too monotonic to me then ;).
In any case, thank you for the review, it brings a smile to my face to have seen it! Be sure to pm me from time to time, keep in touch. I'm glad you liked the piece.
