Reviews for "Midnight Skyride"

Love it. Might I ask what program you are using? I am considering getting into the music industry and would like to know how much I'm going to need to start off.

Alloud responds:

The DAW I use is FL Studio, but as long as it accepts plug-ins the program you choose is mostly up to your preferences and needs - and there's so many to choose from. FL has a workflow that I enjoy and includes some decent effect and mixing/EQ plugins. As far as external generator VSTs go, this song uses VA Surge, LD Sylenth1 and 4Front truepianos.

So yeah, to start, I'd go get a DAW (lots of 'em have trials) and play around with making some instruments and melodies and find some free percussion sample packs around the internet to build some beats.

A little bit long to start but good tune ^^

Alloud responds:

Haha. I guess that's just my obnoxious taste, cause I like the longer intros in this genre. Understandably not for everyone and I'm no master. Thank you for the feedback! :3

Your melodies are so simple, and that's why I like them. They scratch an itch of mine, strangely; I'm not sure how else to describe it.

Sorry I'm incapable of a long review right now, but I like the song. Did you layer multiple kicks? I think you need to be EQing the high end a little differently, or using a different sample.

Other than that I noticed no real flaws, I like it! ^^

Alloud responds:

Hey, thanks!
There are indeed a couple of kicks. I did an overhaul of the master channel just before releasing and it's possible I went ear-blind and messed something up without noticing, lol.
