nice job.
i loved the beginning in this. nice and smooth and then that hard sharp stutter percussion comes in. i think you had a nice coordination with instruments and perc in the latter half. however maybe you should have elaborated on that ending section. s'not too late either. good job. 'n i think you've inspired me to make my own stutter beat.
4/5 only because i thought some bass wouldn't hurt.

Yea the ending was sort of a last minute thing. I didnt want to deter away from the mood of the song too much, but it looks like thats what i did. Yea, some bass wouldn't hurt. Lately my music program is deleting half my shit, so i try to get stuff finished quick. If its not all gone by now, i'll see about working on it some more. Yea dude, stutter beats are fun.. I'm just getting into them.
Good luck with your stuff
And thank you for your review.
pretty sweet
sounds a little retro with the quality. i was wondering, where did you find that tomtom. it would sound perfect for this 80's style song im trying to make.

it's actually from the GM bank that comes with windows.
just do a search for .sf2
everything pre-vista and after '95 should have it.
i liked it up until
you introduced that new compressed synth. wayyyyy off tune and kinda off rhythm. the beginning was really nice though. loved the syncopation with the hats. ... k, listenin' around the 2 minute mark now.... and im likin' it. nice driving beat kinda cool synth and the background thing sounds like it has some flanger maybe is a little overpowering and turned up too much... -building up now. i think those crashes were cheap. maybe some more reverb on that. k. now you introduced that "choir"... not bad but its still the same idea. maybe you should have changed it up a bit more by this point. and now it stopped- o.O uhmm. i think you should have had a more conclusive ending. and now im listening to my favorite part, the beginning. honestly i think you should have stuck with the beginning thing.
sorry for a abnormal review but it was long enough that i could do that. hope i made it clear that i enjoyed it though.^^

Really great review! Thanks for going into such depth - much appreciated.
I totally agree with you on ALL factors but the only thing which didn't quite sit right with me was the part about you liking the beginning! lol! I find I'm a little ashamed when I hear it, lol!
I'm still only at amateur level with all the tunes I compose but with these kind of responses I can improve all the time. Cheers!
well
it never picked up. it never had a bass where you really got into it and it would run through you, you need that deep, background drive. the kick was compressed the whole way through also. and you have toomuchacrowd syndrome... crowd can be good sometimes but you overused it.
work on getting an amazing climax. i wouldn't say leave it to the pros. id say work on getting pro.

you're right...
you DON't have to say F*** every other word, but you need to enunciate and not use gay lyrics like we party hard in the yard...
its just the same stupid rap melody for2 minutes with you trying to record you voice (add variety). and dont end songs with this is "blank" out.
i think that was constructive enough, so don't complain that i was mean or something.

Hmmm...you seemed very open-minded about your review. Therefore, I respond. I do admit that I tend to slur my words most the time. As for the lyrics, my friend helped me write them. And as I stated above, it's not my background beat - it's Zajed's. If I can find a good singer/rapper to do collaborate with me, I wouldn't have to do it myself. But, none of my friends have very good voices that are suitable for rapping. I may do a remade version of the lyrics, but I don't know yet. The ideas mainly came to me and my friend when we were drinking a couple of sodas. *Sighs* Oh, well...it was worth a shot. By the way does anyone know of a good rapper besides J-Kellz here on Newgrounds that could do a few vocal shots for me? If so, please PM me. Peace out, Neon-Crepth...

cool
mellow out the bass for the full version. nice pan flute thing around 2:00.
also those celebra saw things or whatever they were sounded cool in the beginning but around the end they weren't fitting.

not bad since you're only starting out.
i listened to the other one you posted, that was bad... you went crazy with the background noise and that hurt the song. i would say since you're not putting that much melody it the songs you really need to work on what you have- pads and drums with occasional sfx. master them. press F9 when you're in FL. if you have more questions about that PM me...

uhm,
pretty cool. you're right, really repetitive... good thing you at least have that softer part in there. kinda cool percussion. maybe a little too much reverb on the clap, don't you think? muddied things up there... aaaaannnddd um. oh yeah, the bass. you were probably going for it but it seemed a little dirty. i think it might have been chorus on it? anyways, i would have changed that.
great song though. nice job.

damn yo...
i loved that intro, so smooth and the vocals are very well used. after the intro however i don't think it was strong enough. more kick in that part. percussion besides that was pretty good. more bass definitely, that was the thing its missing the most. cool instrument around :43 the instruments are good. but i can see this song being the same thing over and over and just switching instruments. get a larger variety in the melody. it's great now, but needs more variety and it's on its way to being awesome. pm when you submit it.

Not strong enough... I agree. And your absolutly right about its repetivity, not now (in its 1 minute stage), but you can see it happening... I expect to add some more energy to the main melody... after the sidechained secondary melody I'll probably add a 20 - 30 second break with some nice light pads or something not really sure... Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.. and yeah ill definitly pm you when its finished.. peace
great!
this really set that mood of village life. happy and walking pace strings and woodwinds. the only thing i would have changed is the reverb. it's a little too distant. the way i envision a village is tight and cozy. but with that reverb it seems wide and open. you may have wanted it like that, but i just wanted to point it out^^
