You're killing me!
The synth and the riff in this song are great, but it's unbearably short! I really hate to simply say "moar!" But I am.
Reviews for "Karco - Strobe (Loop)"
Karco responds:
Heh, glad you like it! :D This is actually the least likely of my WIPs to become a full song, unfortunately... I'll try, though. ;) Thanks for the review!
'loop'tidoo!
great trancy feeling. why is it just a loop? it could do so much better!
the long high synth must resemble that violion trick that is used alot. like some sort of suspense? i dont know what it does but it somehow fits in like evry bridge of a trance song. ( which seems unfair cuz it doesnt do anything :S except filling those high freq's if your aiming that way ) kick is good, drums. well.. maybe too standard. you seem to like that reverse kick. ( yeah me too ^^ ) and more offbeat bass kinda stuff. like it onbeat ( if that is the opposite.. offbeat/onbeat whatever ) like exactly on the hihat. to get some more dancy feeling. and that the bass doesnt overlap the kick. ( hate doing EQing, so i wont eq it ^^ ) you know what would sound perfect? ACID!!! WOOO! ( yea i love acid.. sounds that is ) you should try , or consider finishing it. its just a tiny loop! its a nice beginning just add some wicked awesome melo and your done. since you work in FL ( if i remember correctly ) just copy paste loads of crap and you have an intro. you got the pieces, now instead of making a 2d puzzle, make it 3d. make it more special so it stands out.
Karco responds:
It's a loop because this is essentially my part for the first CTSG, built upon a little bit, and submitted as a loop. :P I definitely agree it could do better, the question is, what will I do with it? :\
The high synth is supposed to sound like that violin trick! :P It IS supposed to be suspense, though I also did it because I felt like being generic for some reason. D:
Glad you like the kick, the drums... hmm, maybe they are too standard. I thought that the repeating loop (the one that fades out in the high synth part) did something to give the kick a very neat, original sound, and the hihats really built the energy up... I guess I see what you mean when I think about the clap, though, but once again, I have a specific taste in claps. :P
I actually don't usually use basses on the offbeat, but all of the stuff I've been making lately either has the bass audible only on the offbeat, or the bass playing some sort of offbeat arp. I never have it play one note for both the whole offbeat, which I think is waaaaay too dull. >:(
Acid would sound perfect! :D Problem is, I have a hard time finding good, new acid sounds... :\ Ah well.
FL Studio doesn't work by copy-pasting lots of stuff, you know. ;) Doing that just makes the songs boring... copy-pasting is the last thing I'll do if I want to turn this into a good song. I like the little 2D/3D puzzle idea, I'll keep that in mind if I ever work on this again.
Glad you liked it overall, thanks for the review! :)
hmmm
Sounds a lot like this song called "one more night out".
Karco responds:
Hmm, I should look it up sometime. Thanks for the review! :)
Sheer Awesomeness
I'm animating part of this loop for the Continue-The-Song-Game collab. That just proves how much I love this!! Great work!
Karco responds:
Hey, thanks a lot, glad you like it! :D
heh
Loving the intro, true potential in this small loop. Quite sad that there was no melody to follow any of this. I can already picture a perfect melody to hit after this, but that's just my random brain thinking out different possibilities.
After it keeps looping, it's not that much of a re-listen. Personally, loops should be shorter and something that is at least 55 seconds long should have a lead =D
Karco responds:
Well, I still have a lot of work to do on this one if I want to turn it into a song - I need to come up with a bassline, a melody, one or two harmonies, tons of stuff. D: And then real life stuff - homework, etc. - has been taking up a bunch of my time, so I doubt this song's getting anywhere for a while. :\
Thanks anyway for the review and high ratings, glad you liked it! :)
