Reviews for "Helix - City of Industry"

interesting

The vocals at the beginning were pretty creepy.

The beat is nice, but I don't think it's full enough. Maybe some more hi hats or something to fill up the space would be nice.. It could give some more adrenaline to this track even though it is pretty intense.

ahh, here you go. Nice fills and stuff. It seems like a lot of attention was payed to panning as well. Just try to beef up that bassdrum a bit more.

I love those synths you used... If I'm not mistaken, did you use a HP over that lead with a lot of resonance? It's very memorable; pretty original too.

I really like your tracks, but I think you could benefit from a bit more bass. When you distort everything, you tend to lose some important low frequencies. Try to leave the very low ones untouched, or send the instrument to two effect channels, one being distorted and the other one not. Some subbass could do well too.

Nice job man, it's great to see you submitting again. ;) Drop me a line sometime.

Nice to have a very reputable Portal artist review my stuff. I agree on the low end issue; as mentioned elsewhere, my "old" (a.k.a. good) mastering preset was lost with my system migration. Really I need to find a better system (or samples) for composing my rhythm samples. My next music investment (among many other investments) is probably going to be digital drums. I want to get a good set that really sound "tight" and acoustic. Digital music really tends to lose "voice" in the area of beat. It is a challenge to create the "accidentals" that you achieve on acoustic drums. Thanks for the review. Maybe we should col-lab sometime.

This is so good!

Wow I love this. I've kinda been getting into light Industrial recently so...I heard this track at the right time! One last thing though...could you tell me how you make this music? I'd love to try it!

Helix6 responds:

I use FruityLoops to sample and Sonic Foundry Acid to compose tracks.

This was really good!

Keep making great music, Helix6!

Helix6 responds:

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. I hope to get involved in some real projects soon. My music is intended to be a multimedia experience (A and V).

Glad I did...

I haven't been on newgrounds in a while. I'm sure glad I took the time to swing by your profile this time. Good stuff man. This is about as industrial as it gets. I like a lot of metal and I try to mix that into my own industrial songs but this right here, your stuff, straight industrial. Period. Excellent work. Collab sometime. Peace.

Helix6 responds:

Thanks. This was a deviation for me, and not what I expected to release - but I'm glad people seem to be enjoying.

Come back!!!!

Does anyone know if helix6 is still producing music??? Perhaps on another site or under a different name???
