Reviews for "Moonlit Techno"

Original but Off

Dance music without quantization sounds comepletely sloppy and wrong.

That isn't to say you didn't write a good piece of music--I love the chord structure you used for dance and the cheesey lo-fi synth lead over synth piano makes it sound like a B horror movie's ending theme--but the timing issues and more than a few odd dissonances detract. If you're considering re-visiting this, I'd suggest quantizing so that every note is exactly on-beat.

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Thanx for the critique. I'll certainly look into improving the timing. But with real time track writing... it's difficult. It's all up to my hands. Thanx for the suggestions though.

Nice!

Sounds like an oldskool dance track at first. The synths are really nice. The piano is a great affect and the levels are perfect. They keep a flow to the song without drawing all the attention to them. And the main synth is really well done.

Timing is an issue but since your using a keyboard and not using preset patterns I must say it is VERY WELL DONE. Considering the keyboard the timing is a minor setback.

The song overall is really good. Kinda oldskool dance sounding too which is a fun spin on things.

Keep these submissions coming!

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Yes I admit... the timing could have been better... but alas... u can only hear so much of the metronome with all the instruments in there and what not... Thanx for the great review.

Review while I listen! :D

I'm trying to form unbiased reviews to help out the authors, so I'm writing these reviews as I listen to the song.

Can't really say much for the title, doesn't seem like it would disapoint, and I'll take note of the keyboard thing :)

Nice accereando into the main tempo of the piece, instantly hooked. Nice piano effects, really adds to the piece. Very nice when the piece gets softer about 1:30, really makes me want to keep listening to hear what happenes at the end. Very good way to end the piece, very original composure here.

Very nice submission and keep up the good work.

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Thankyou for making my day... as well as recognizing the inner workings of my piece.

not my thing...

...but you have obviously put effort into making this, so i credit u for that. I'm not into this genre of music, so it would take a piece of sheer genius to make me give any Techno trk a 10/10.
It's good to hear someone who can actually play the keyboard instaed of step-recorded syncopated, obviosly quantised instruments.
the timing is a little out in places, but i like that, cos at least it feels real.
Nice stuff.

MilkMan-Dan responds:

Your review is well recieved... I myself am no big techno fan... I just realized a potential for that kinda thing a melody I was conjuring. And yes... it's a nice feeling knowing every note is your own and not a looped computer creation. Thanx.
