Freedom {durn}

"Groovy"

submission: Freedom {durn}
date: December 28, 2009

Like the EFX on the beginning organ, flanger/cutoff, its smooth, the drums are crisp, seems like good progression, the bass is fitting and not overpowering, the second organ ties in with with the first, good melody, the break with (what sounds like) a guitar with some FX is a little unfitting to me, But what you bring in right after it makes up for it, The guitar comes back, but it ties in with the little travelling synth you have in the background, From here it pretty much repeats with variance within itself from 3:30 onwards, The ending is nothing amazing neither bad in any way, It is still loopable.

If there was anything to change it would be some very minor FX tweaks and drumwork, but it is great as is.

Thanks for the solid review, Tykwa. :) I suppose the break might not be for everybody but I was tryin' somethin' different with it in terms of effects manipulation. glad you liked it otherwise.

Luck So Lame

"Emal Os Kcul"

submission: Luck So Lame
date: November 28, 2009

The drums are too punchy, needs a little mastering, the guitar sounds muddy at the first, your "organ/synth" could be a tab louder in the background with the vocals going on ( vocals are a little loud with everything involved ), The melo-guitar (not the riff or whatever ) sounds great.

Mainy, the drum kick is way too punchy and oomphy

November 29, 2009

Author's Response:

That's interesting, because I liked the drums being punchy. I'm glad you had no problems with the actual song than just the levels! Definitely a good sign. Many thanks for your input and I'll be getting some friends to help me mix it a bit better too. Cheers.

This Isn't My Day

"Schweet"

submission: This Isn't My Day
date: November 28, 2009

Really interesting, The beginning was a bit strange, I'm not sure if it's the low-quality but it has a bit of a grainy oldschool sound, The synth compliments the lyrics quite well, but what you do around 1:55 it looses its attachment to the song, the break 2:23 could use maybe some effects on the synth to give it more variety, its too obvious maybe a low db filter, the effects on the your voice are excellent. The guitar sounds a little bit too low-quality to me however.

Overall what your asking is to know if it doesn't sound like it was in a bedroom, it doesn't to me, but more like old grainy sound, it fits it wel imo....

dying in heaven

"wetwetgdf"

submission: dying in heaven
date: September 29, 2009

This is very questionable, the chorus does absolutly not really belong here, if anything this is really experimental, you bring in tons of different sounds and not much to say, I think you should take the part from :06 :08 and try and do somthing with that..

Beyond Distant Shores

"bllralrhha"

date: September 29, 2009

the melo sounds a little strange, the synth-dancing was done alright, when the main melo starts in at around :48, it could really use something else to help it, the cymbol you started going was there for a bit long, there's not alot wrong with this, just needs a facelift, somehow everything stays molded together somehow, if anything, I can tell you're using alot of presets.

September 29, 2009

Author's Response:

hahaha good old presets, the list is quite big I like to add them at will, I get carried away sometimes but it doesn't make it sound better, this much I know, i'll add that peice of advice to the list and maybe i'll start the surgery when i'm abit more qualfied, cheers for the review and maybe i'll get closier to the prize next time.

I Only Like NYC As a Friend.

"wharrrmweewii"

date: September 29, 2009

the claps and stuff you have going on sounded really too prominent and bad imo, everything is ok other than that, it gets a little too busy though after you add the guitar in, when you start messing with the meloes at 3:31 the song gets pretty much better overall.

Left Behind (system error)

"wrrghllg"

date: September 29, 2009

the synth doesn't really follow the drums really well and sounds out of sync, when you have the guitar come in, it seems a little bit to distorted ( or not enough) the drums are a little too basic for industrial imo, the stuff you have going on at 1:37 sounds pretty good, what you start going with from 3:00 and on just all sounds really out of whack, if you were aiming for some wierd stuff, you did pretty well, although the little breathing effect was done nicely though.

Author's Response:

Yes its called a noise breakdown. I want to bring back old school industrial and mix it with the new school and add whatever elements i feel like adding. I'm not trying to sound like everyone else, that would be too boring. But I appreciate the feedback.

Guitar Ballad Loop

"fucking tits"

submission: Guitar Ballad Loop
date: September 29, 2009

I really liked this one, the claps didnt seem out of the ordinary, the gee-tar sounded pretty without being too strange, although some parts seemed to glide a bit to long and seemed a little out-a-tuney~

September 29, 2009

Author's Response:

thanks :)

btw whats with the "fucking tits" title?

Is that a good thing? bad thing? or just a random thing?

:P

Cheers

Torchestra loops

"ehhh ewha"

really aggressive, but the claps don't sound like they belong here at all, you tried to bring alot of things together in this piece, but not alot of them flow together at all.

Ah, alright. Thanks for the review!
