Reviews for "(::Surfing On Color::) GWC"

Not as full-fledged

This song was a little empty. There wasn't a whole lot going on, and it didn't have that magic that most of your ambient songs have. The Ominous Dancefloor lick was well played, and smooth, there just wasn't a whole lot of silky electronicness going on, and it was to mellow to be in the harder techno area.

Also, there's no shame in using Garageband samples, but just don't say you don't.

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

Uhh... You don't really use Garageband do you? :D because i DO NOT use pre-set loops... unless you mean I used instruments on Garageband like Omunous DAnce Floor...

But seriously, I DON'T. Don't accuse me of that please.

not bad

As soon as I heard the begining, I was like, "j00, I used that meoldy in GB!" Ya, anyway. I was expecting something totally different. For me, it kinda got boring because it didn't have much in it. But, I also know that GB can be a witch to work with at times :P

So... good job on 'best of week'!

7/10 3/5 [4.42 / 5.00 (- 0.0052)]

FatKidWitAJetPak responds:

What does j00 mean? lol. Also, I made all the loops. The first loop there might sound like the 80's loop from the loop library, but I swear it isn't. It was supposed to be repetitive at some points due to the techno style it has. If you listen to some of the old techno songs, you will hear a repetition in almost everything for about 2 minutes lol. Thanks for the review!

Nice groove

Well this seems like it has more work put into it then your"beyond the sun" and other related new wave/ambient tracks because the different riffs have more rhytmical flow and are not just the same whole notes over and over. anyway, this has a cool sound and a good selection of synths with cool effects. Nice of you to put drums in here, although they might just be premade drumloops but I won't assume :). very cheery vibe in here, sounds like a spongebob dance song. Yes, spongebob is what this track reminds me of. And that's always a good thing.

I like the arpsynth thing you start with that has an interesting filter effect or something on it. The pad in the background's voices move nicely but again it wouldnt hurt to change up the rhythms even more than you did in the background. Chop up a note into two, split it into two dotted fourths and one fourth, use rests, etc. it will help break the repetiveness in here-even tho genres like this need some type of repetition, it needs more elaboration for being 5+ minutes. I especially like that echoing synth that hits at 3:30ish, in comes in and out in a nice fashion. One more synth melody would be great in here too, you need like a lead saw type of dealy in the high spectrum. That pad as 4:14ish was cool to and had a nice texture. It would be nice if you put more work into the end, and put in some new reverbed samples to go along with that ambient texture. The harmony seems a bit awkward in the finish too. you started off real nice with bringing the synths in, with a bass and snare and beat, and gradually adding more to the track. But once everything started rolling, it just sounded like you were making your own riffs and just pluggin them into an adlib generator. So, I would work a bit more on transitioning.

well, i'm itching to give this an 8 but honestly I dont find this track to be too amazing. However, i still found it enjoyable and its more imaginative then a lot of those generic FL techno and trance tracks if you know what I mean...:P keep up the good work fatty!
