what an overwhelmingly positive thing to say! I really appreciate it!
Jolly good show, though the kick is verry baisic it's what makes house-house right? I like that it changes up every once in a while to keep it interesting. The ending made me giggle for some reason, idk im weird, good song though, cant say it's the best I have ever heard, but if all songs were perfect what would we do without the need for improvement ( Correct me if i'm wrong )
P.S. It dose loop pretty fine, accident? Probably, ive had it happen.
BTW: Sorry this wasn't exactly helpful, i'll try harder next time.
OcularNebula responds:
well, you're right about the kick
yeah, the ending was kinda fun and different, huh? I was initially looking for an instrument that would be somehow evocative of birds for that extra bit of melody, but instead I ended up with this?!?!?
I really enjoy the level of modesty in your critique, and yes, you are certainly correct in that we always have plenty of room to improve our skills, no matter the craft - it's probably one of the more interesting aspects of pursuing anything creative - the ability to gradually improve and notice the effect(s) it has on your work!
as for the looping, I typically cut off my endings at an even amount of measures with some *'verb n' 'lay* still trailing, so it sometimes ends up looping well :p
looking forward to more reviews from you!
Nice filtered fade in, always clutch move. That saw lead is badass, so funky - it's almost like it's screaming to get the notes out. Is that rain I hear in the background at the two minute mark? Hell, throw in some waves and wind while your at it.
The song might have taken a stylistic detour, but I think you did a good job of keeping the theme intact. You got some serious skills.
OcularNebula responds:
yeah, lol, those filters are super easy to do, but they're sooooo effective, right? like, 500000 effective
glad you liked the lead, that was like a perfect description for it
thanks for the review, man!
This is very catchy and climactic. I love the funky melodies and cool instruments. They combine to produce a very interesting mood, an excellent combination of celebratory and relaxed. I like the structure and transitions. I've noticed that a lot of your songs are very pizzicato-esque, and I'd love to see you shake it up a bit with a more chord-based atmosphere. However, I really like this overall. The ending was very interesting, and it even loops pretty well. Keep at it, OcularNebula. ;)
OcularNebula responds:
and behind door #6 we have an awesome review! (I promise I'll only make this joke once)
I totally know what you're saying about the pizzicato-ness, it's just that one of the more common ways to have "chord atmosphere" is through the use of pads, and I HATE pads (such slow attack, wow, much ambiance), but I'll definitely keep that in mind
there are, of course, many other ways to effectively have prominent harmony (I prefer ones that also provide some rhythmic interest), but I just thought I'd tell everyone that I dislike pads at this juncture
