MY. GOODNESS. THIS SOUNDS AMAZING O_o

For some unknown reason, this somg was sitting in my Email inbox and I didn't listen to it until now. I almost instantly regretted ignoring this.

Wait, this is your first time making a song with chiptune elements? It sounds like you've used them your entire career.

Of course, there were problems. From :14 to :25 the background tracks go out of tune with the song, and it always bugs me, but I don't think that's enough to justify a half-star deduction.

You should make more songs like this, they sound great! :D

Sorry it took me so long to actually get back on this, I've been getting caught up in my own head lately! I think the wonderful thing about chiptune elements is that they just feel right when you use them. They're simple enough to grasp fairly quickly, and then it's just a matter of experimenting with where you like them. I'm sure I'll probably even make some fully 8-bit songs with them at some point (likely next year)! I actually don't hear what you're mentioning at 0:14 myself. Either way, thanks for mentioning that something feels off there.

I love melody-driven music, so I'm very likely to do more stuff like this not too long from now! :)

Thanks so much for taking the time to review! :D

Nice work, I really like the melodies in this. The mix of realistic sounds and chiptune sounds pretty good too

Deemo-R responds:

Thanks man! I think these are probably some of the better melodies I've used, too. Chiptune sounds work surprisingly well with a ton of stuff! They have a very interesting variety of timbres.

Love the song, guitar was killer! Even though I knew you had drums, I would have liked them to be louder. Everything else was great!!!

Deemo-R responds:

Being a drummer myself, I can totally agree with you on that. I'll definitely try to keep the drum presence up in future mixes! Thanks for reviewing! :D

Not too bad, but these songs do not get famous. You should try more songs like the final phase.
Anyway, looks like this is the first review^^

Deemo-R responds:

Thanks, but being famous really isn't a goal I'm interested in pursuing. Consistently great work will get the recognition it deserves eventually, so my goal is to become great. Final Phase got lucky to be shared as it was, and I doubt I could make anything like it that people would care about unless it also got used in a big way. It doesn't mean I won't do something like it eventually, but I'm not holding my breath on any more big successes for a long time. In any case, thanks for taking the time to listen and review! I appreciate it! :)
