Reviews for Cloudline WIP

[Music-story]

I'm a fan of happy music so appreciate another another musician who produces this stuff. As for the genre, it doesn't really matter what it is. There are already thousand of songs misplaced on the audio portal and no one really cares anymore.

I like the intro chordal pattern and the mixture of instruments that have just enough reverb and delay. The filter could have been more intricate rather than just frequency changes.

0:30 I like the climax but only for a short time. The reason is that the drums don't sound exciting enough to be in the climatic part. Also, the lead instrument doesn't really change at all till the end of the song. Surely this is a WIP? You definitely have something going on here so you should continue to make it a full song. Add some fx sounds, make the lead instrument sound a bit better or add another instrument on top. Change the drums.

Overall, I thought the best part was the buildup to the climax. There is just something uplifting about a good dose of chill instruments with reverb and delay. That heavenly fell seems to disappear at the climatic part which was a bit disappointing. Still a good attempt at making a happy song. 5/5 and finish this song.

First of all, thanks so much for the detailed review. Appreciate it greatly, you made my day!

Agreed, so many songs that are placed wherever without much thought as to where it should go. Ohwells, it doesn't really matter in my opinion.

This is indeed still a WIP as indicated by the title of the song! ^__^ I have a lot planned for this track, but I just wanted to get a small section of it up on newgrounds for people to hear. Nowhere near finished, don't you fret!

The drums are a bit on the light side I agree; but I feel it fits the song more. I'll definitely try out some different synths, maybe get the drums to sound a bit firmer and heavier. Again, this is just a section of the whole project. It's not the climax x) sorry if it was confusing, I only posted I guess what would be called the chorus?

I definitely agree that the spacey/atmospheric feel drops off after the drums come in. I'll see what I can do to remedy that without overwhelming other instruments or the mix in general.

Thanks so much, and I will get crackin' when the ideas pour in. Cheers!

Dance or Trance. For some reason a LOT of peeps get those two mixed up with techno.

Also this song is very fun and dancy. I like it!

Lockyn responds:

I'm not too sure about trance, as most I've heard have very heavy basslines. I'll change it to dance :)

Thanks so much for reviewing! FUNDANCEFUNDANCE haha
