Hey, this is an interesting sound. I would really work with that bell sound and bring out out more. You don't need to have it play all the way through a song to make a main theme though. (Think of it as a chorus). For the pads, I would try to use some stereo separation next time (it would make them sound very spacy, which would be fitting for this song). On the other hand, I think you could use some improvement for the beats, but those take a lot of work. One thing I would try to work on right away is the base and the type of energy you are looking to put out (here the beats actually made the song feel slower (the beginning is amazing :))). You could try to make some drumstep, if that's what you're into. I think it would fit well with the song. Anyway, I hope this helps!
Reviews for "meh {DU}"
yay im so glad you reviewed it. the intro and the chords are my favorite part of this song. it seems that everyone is tellin me that my drums suck lol i kno they do. i will bring out the bells and try to make the pads seperated. as for the beat im going to leave that up to someone else. i have a friend who said he would remix it. im so glad i made this song. so much good has come of it. thanks for reviewing
yo, this track is great but not amazing.not in a bad way though.its really repetitive but to me that doesn't make a track good or bad(i mean have you heard whats on the radio?)anyways the drums are pretty boring but they sound amazing.maybe try changing the pattern to change the mood or add to the structure.all the sounds in my opinion sounded great but the track has no flare.its a chill track though dont get me wrong but nothing in it just pulls my attention. i think its a great start,its relaxing and maybe with some more time it could be really effective at getting peoples attention.
i like where your going with this so definitely keep it up,for real!
-PK
thanks im planning on making it again and adding variation to the drums
I think its a good start.
There is some tuning issues when the Lead comes in and I guess this is just subjective but I didn't like the structure. It needed either a good progression or other structure like verse/chorus/breaks etc.
I like to hear a bit of complexity in the drums too, fills etc. But as you said you were limited by the demo & therefore time so I'd have to say you did well considering :D
thank you. i know what you mean about the lead i didn't like it but it was the only thing that worked with what i had i also wanted to do something with the drums :( i don't like using boring drums.
Not bad, I like it a lot! There are few things wrong with it however.
Your ARP you've got going on (bells) should only be 4 notes, however it sounds like 5. But ignoring the ARP I really like your depressing lead. It sounds like a good dark song. It has plenty of potential if you put more than an hour into it. I almost want to remix it, but alas (:P) you were on a demo.
Anyway, good work with what you had!
well i could make it again if you really wanted me to i can still save the file i just can't reopen it. i used the x3osc and sytrus and the fl10 preset for the drum pack. the arp is hand made with 7 notes i believe i should really do something else with the second lead before i give it to you because i wasn't completely satisfied. i would be both thrilled and honered if you remixed it.
the reason for the sad atosphere in the song is because tomorrow is my mamorial day
thanks for the review
Not bad man! I liked where you were going with the track. It sounds really ambient. With some drum layering you could really get those drums to pop.
But yeah, good stuff! Keep working at it! :D
thank you i worked very hard on it i will try to fix it
