Pretty Cool

It sounds to be very slow at the start to me, then seems to build up but still keeping with a fairly slow back beat to it, so that's pretty good. But the main part is very fast paced and seems to work. With the title in mind, I have to say it kind of gives me the image of someone with heart failture then a part where someones trying to get it beating again and one part almost sounds like sirens, so that's good for imagination, not sure if you actually implied that, lol.

The ending almost sounds like the died, kind of a sad ending, but still kind of worked. Don't often hear something that can tell a story the same way this one did, so that's very good to hear. I'll give you one extra star for that. Not sure what you can add, I suppose you could make it longer, but as it is, it sounds pretty good to me. Nice work.

5/5

Well done,very creative

This song was very well done. Lots of variations, nice instruments, a story (yes, even some sort of story), some catchy parts... wonderful song.

What is most impressive here is that you made a story into the song without pronouncing a single word on it (well... only on the author comments). It is a bit of a cliché, but it's just great. I'd love to see someone making an animation out of this, it would be fantastic.

Something else that impressed me were the variations. The song starts in a slow, calm ambient. Then out of nowhere, it catches in a fast beat. It ends in a sort of melancholic way, but it was still very creative. Excellent job.

It could be a little longer though. There's a lot you could make with the story, you can build it much more. Since it's a work in progress, you will make more changes here. But so far it sounds amazing. I really liked this, I hope the final version comes out soon.

ayejh

The piano sounds really thin, like it's been drained for everything that is lo end and mid, plus it's ear piercing with headphones on a high volume :( ...I suggest add hell of a lot of low end to it, to make it sound fuller. The melody of the piano is great though.

Kicks of very nicely- but I'm not sure whether I like that kick or not. It sounds a lot like a tom (which isn't good seeing you actually used toms a lot in the piece). I'd love a tighter kick and a more present snare- one that stands out much more than your current snare. The main hat is alright- no complaints at least. Now those pitched hats were goddamn cool! I doubt it really fits in this piece, it being centred around realistic instruments and all, but experimenting is good. And it would work pretty damn well with some other experimental fx or synths.

That juicy, trancy saw synth there is good- adds a good amount of emotion. With some evolving of that melody could possibly play a great role in an eventual climax. Cheeeeeeeesy sound though- makes the tune sound less original. Though there aren't really many synths that add the same emotion that a supersaw gives :)

And yeah it's pretty plain right now. There's not much I want you to change in the current track (except for maybe drums), but you've definitively gotta build on it. Which I bet you will, considering it's a WIP.

Point taken on the piano.

I'll work on fixing the drums as soon as I learn how to use the drum pads, otherwise I'll just have to make individual layers >.<;

The synth...I've forgotten to download new ones :P But hey, served its purpose ^ ^

The track feels rather empty to me, I'll see what else I can add to it if I ever finish the song.

Those high pitched hats came off sounding awful to me once I exported the track (the frequencies seem to high), they were an attempt at glitch, but then I just stopped glitching the rest :P Glad you liked them though.

Thanks for the review :D

Nice melody

The piano could use some extra punchiness in the lower part, it sounds real soft. The drums are quite dominating when they first come in, but when the lead comes in it's better. Enough with that stuff, the tune is really sweet, the beginning is great, although, maybe you could add a string section in there to emphasise the sadness. If the soundfonts you got off suspended-3rd-chord are the ones I got from him, then I think you should try the violin 1 legato sound from the squidfont orchestral sound font.

I think, as a WIP, it's got a lot of promise. The drums could be a great part of the finished song. The lead melody is cool, it has a lot of appeal. I think this song will turn out great once you're finished. You've got a great start, and I'd love to see where you go from here.

Keep it up. =D

GronmonSE responds:

If I ever finish it > >;

Yeah, I love violin 1 legato (copy cat x3). I wasn't sure about adding strings to it yet, but I think I might after all. Great soundfonts, eh?

Thanks for the review!

I kinda like this one. It starts off very slow, but builds up speed towards the middle of the song, where you also add a few more instruments and thus adding a lot more variation to the song.

Right now it all sounds very much like sound samples (well, and I think that's what it acutally is ^^), but it sounds nevertheless very good!

I especially like the slow ending for this one. It really fits well together with the rest of the song.
