Reviews for "Helix - The Condition"

Awesome!

Wow, my vote actually made a difference! (4.2 + .031 %u2248 4.23)

This is great. I'm guessing that you use Audition for the effects, while you create the raw patterns with FL and arrange them with Acid. As other people have said, this song is rough, and yet flows really well. Panning was great, too. The bass at the start is really cool; it sounds layered, with a deep triangle waveform and technoish beepy sounds arpeggiating through it. The pad that you used sounded a lot like the one in Atlantis. All the different instruments had their own tune, and yet fit perfectly. The only part I didn't really like was the bit at 3:50 with the pedal hihats and the vocals. It went a bit too long and sounded awkward. Otherwise, I loved the whole thing. The style reminded me a bit of Unless You're Free..., but as always, it stands on its own as an original great piece of music. (I prefer more buildup-style endings, though.) You must have a whole arsenal of samples at your fingertips to create these effects.
Good Job. 5/5

P.S. Have you got my PM about your full tracks yet? I sent it a while ago. :)

Helix6 responds:

Actually - FruityLoops provides all sampling/effects/synth, etc. Audition is simply for chopping/cleaning/mastering each sample (and some minor alterations, reverses, fades, etc.). Acid is used to compose the final track (chopping/beats, etc.) and do some fading/panning. I have a pretty straightforward group of samples (which is evidenced in some of my older tracks), but I am starting to use effects in a lot of new ways which I've found opens up limitless possibilities for new sounds. I will check my inbox - I am *horrible* at responding to online messages. I have a hard enough time responding to all my work e-mail, and I'm paid for that.

0_0! ohhhhhhh!~ Nice!

Sorta slower than a few of your other stuffs...can you post a tutorial on how you make your audio? I really want to try my hand in industrial music using FL Studio 8.

Good Stuff

A bit slower tempo than your others, but good nonetheless. You've got a talent my friend.

your immense

could do with being faster but was still a very decent tune

Helix6 responds:

My immense what?

The rest are correct, most of your industrial submissions come close to rivaling sonic mayhem's quake 2 music scores.
You definitely were one of those who stood out amongst most audio artists.
Your music gave such rust and bombastic collateral damage of the atmosphere.
