Reviews for "Speeding Through Infinity"
Step responds:
Oh lol :P. I keep making long author's comments X(. Anyhow, thanks for the review. I might make it longer sometime, but for now you'll have to stick with 3:10 :\. Thanks again!
Good
It's good but I felt that the drums could be more pronounced, and were a little too fast for a chill song like this.
It also seemed like there was a little too much going on at once.
The piano was very good, you had good melodies, and this is quite relaxing.
The biggest problem that I had is that a lot of the synths sounded very video gamy to me. That doesn't really suit trance very well.
I, again, must comment on how good the piano was, you are quite good at that. Maybe try making some Ambient, you'd probably do very well.
4/5 9/10
-GST-
Step responds:
Wow, thanks for the review!
Yeah, I admit I completely messed up the drums this time. And the samples are horrible :(.
As for the song having too much going on at once, I'll have to agree with you as well. This song was very cluttered, especially after the quiet part.
As for the melodies, I'm glad you liked them. I personally think they're some of my best melodies. The piano, well, I'm a piano player myself so I try my best :P. I have a few other piano songs, such as Cries of the Tormented, Night in the Forest, Not a Care in the World, Spacewalk and Power of the Piano, they're probably much better than the piano part in this.
The synths, yeah, it was my first trance, so I couldn't really get the synths right. Also I'm not a regular listener of professional trance, so I'm never too sure what synths to use.
Wow lol, you liked the piano more than I expected xP. It was a sort of addition that came to me naturally - I almost always try and incorporate piano in my trance songs, and I have to admit I didn't work too hard on the piano part, but I'm glad you liked it! Also, I tried making ambient, and although people did like my ambient intro in Cries of the Tormented, for example, I can't stand making a whole ambient song. Ridiculous amounts of harmonizing, beautiful synths, loads of effects and stretching notes to two bars each isn't my thing xP.
Thanks again for the review, and sorry for the long response =/.
i enjoyed it
but the melody from 1:20 to 2:10 ish had a completely different identity than the rest of the song. while most of the song had a nice empty and dark feel to the notes, the middle part was not hollow, mysterious, or as cool as the rest of the song. that particular part did not have the same effect
Im not saying to remove the part, im saying it has the wrong feel for this music
Step responds:
Ahh yeah, I wanted to make that melody because I was picturing that you're drifting through infinity and at one time you slow down completely and everything is peaceful. Then you speed up again towards the end. I guess the piano wasn't empty enough, but I usually like putting in a piano solo somewhere in the song. Maybe I could increase its reverb some more, because the reverb was only mild and there was barely any delay. Some plucked instrument over there could fit well, too... Anyway, thanks for the review!
For a first *trance* song...
It is DAMN good. I wish more people at NG knew how to create some variation in a track. Keep up the good work.
Just bumped in to check out how serious you are with competitions, but if you know how to handle the software, I am sure there will be a lot of creative love in the contest. Keep up the great work. I will fave ya to get you of that nasty 13 ;p.
Step responds:
Man, variation is my problem :(. Sometimes I vary so much my song switches from nice and varied to totally random :\. I was never too good at song structure, but anyway, glad you enjoyed this! Ahh, I never knew contests give me exposure. I should think up contests more often :P. Yeah, I hope it turns out OK. Thanks for the review, and thanks a lot for faving me! XD. I'll make another news post asking people to fav me when I reach 666 people with me on their favourite artists list (aren't I ambitious XD) but for now, I got rid of that 13 :P. Thanks again!
Whoo! This is a pretty big improvement from anything you had written before. Hey wait a minute...
*goes to check if this was submitted before or after Chaoz Fantasy by ParagonX9*
Yup. You ripped him off good with that intro.
Okay back to the track, yeah you're using some nice filtered sounds and subtle background pads and well rounded drums and all that. Your production values really went up a few notches. There's almost no trace of your earlier shittier endeavors, well except the terrible piano and occasional horribly reverby kick drum.
The composition is better too, you have neat transitions.
Woohoo!!! Getting through your songs is getting fun and easy.
Step responds:
Oh 7/10, that's higher than I expected!
But yeah I was unimaginably proud of this one. It was my first ever Trance song and I loved its atmosphere. This song has a pretty spacey atmosphere to it that I think I'll probably have trouble replicating today. Bad production and stuff though.
Yeah and everyone says I ripped Chaoz Fantasy. But I'm totally OK with that because Chaoz Fantasy has a godly melody.
Also shoosh I like the piano melody in this track :(.
Thanks for reviewing!
