Reviews for "Subjugate (Build 1.0 Instrmt.)"
is there reaaaaaally room?
if you throw down some harder drums i can see this getting a bit hairy unless you rock some sidechaining but this instrumental on its own is well mixed and spacious. some pretty outrageous panning with the nasty glitch synths, but that's the way i like it... big broad stereo images are where it's at now.
very few people use synth guitars as well as you do, self included. are you rocking any external amp simulators? nice distinct guitar tone here...
okay i like this but you must see this through to completion!

Wow, thanks man! I'm actually extremely suprised at how well this song is being recieved. I'm hoping I'll be able to salvage the project file off my crashed laptop so I actually can finish it. I began adding sound samples, and if you want I could link you a couple tests. It was getting pretty rediculous.
As for the synth guitar, I used ReFX Slayer 2, tweaked the hell out of it, and did a shitload of EQ. Nothing special was really added to it at all. I'm glad it's actually enjoyable, hahaha! I also use a lot of note velocity tweaks to make sure no single note ever sounds the same.
Thanks for the review, and I hope I'll be able to recover this beasts project file so I can blow you all away, I guess, haha!
Niiiiice
I like the slow steady build up, then it picks up a notch, then quiets down without you even knowing it, all the while that static haze in the back, all around. (with 'phones on, at least) Get the picture of a grungy city of metal, furnaces all around, pollution. Also a good piece to work out to!
Great!
Build up was steady and intense, underlying static "pricks" were awesome. Bass guitar made the song a little more fast paced feeling and awesome, as did the drums. I also liked the sections before you would add a new sound where the bass guitar become more "detached" and more in the background of the music before rushing in with the new sound i mentioned before. Overall 9/10 as I only wish it was longer haha, great job though, and congrats on using no presets, that in itself is quite a feat. Keep up the nice work! *one of the only songs I've downloaded off the NG AP!*
StaticStigma responds:
Haha, I'm glad someone finally picked up on everything I did with the song. You must've listened to it a lot. I feel accomplished. I'll see what I can do about making it longer in the next version. XD
Violence!
Well, music is good - hard and brutal. But wtf with quality?! Sounds like it VERY low!
StaticStigma responds:
My style is lo-fi. Old school. Nothing wrong with the quality, just heavily distorted.
