Soundtrack

Very cool soundtrack atmospheric ambient piece. It was very quiet, but really creepy. Reminds me of some artists I've listened to before.

I do agree that more could have came out of this, but still very cool as it is.

Thanks for your vote, SineRider! You voted 5 for .:5:., keeping its score at 5.00.

Thanks for the 5-ening. Which artists do you mean? I want to do some research as to how they can get more into there music. If you could can you Pm me with names. Thanks.

Cool

Hmm is that a real guitar playing there? If so then kudos. I like to add guitar to some of my ambient stuff too.

Very chill and atmospheric piece. I could nearly taste the reverb on that guitar. An interesting yet simple idea.

There were times where the guitar was had so much reverb I could barely tell what was going on. so watch out on the amount of reverb you put on your instruments.

I sort of wished there was a bit more then just guitar. Some background pads, possible a glitchy beat and a bass of some sort.

good work anyway

thanks for the review. i will take your note into consideration- i definitely need to work on the reverb a little. all of this is live acoustic guitar, with a quiet bass in the background (i need to balance the sounds out next time). because im using a crappy cheap mic (maybe less that 10 euro)the quality is not top notch, but luckily FL allows me to smooth it out. Anyways, keep it up.

Holy Shite

Dude this song is so fucking awesome.

Love that bass sound, and well the melody is killer too. I like the strings around the beginning. A very original sound to it.

Definitely sounds like a lot of fucking work went into this. One of the few songs I put on my ipod.

5d for good lolz

cornandbeans responds:

hah thanks man. Glad I got a spot on your ipod. :D

Cool

This was one of my favorites from your Sideways Highways EP. A really original sound to it.

Sort of videogame-ish. For some reason I kept thinking of sonic or something.

Starts of with a cool synth sound. The modulation was good too. The beat was a bit simple for my taste, but fits the song good.

Good job on this song, and well the EP too.

attemptedperfection responds:

yeah, I get a lot of sonic references... but since sonic has one of my favorite soundtracks of all videogames ever, I don't mind. glad you liked it; sorry about the simple beat (there are quite a few under-rythms I tried to throw in...) thanks for the review!

Wow dude, this is so awesome. I'm a bit speechless to say the most.

Very nice genre bender. Great guitar melodies and harmonies mixed with some nice drum programming and effects.

Sorry for such a short review, it was just that good.

Thanks for your vote, SineRider! You voted 5 for [[=Ealif=]], raising its score from 3.13 to 3.33.

Nostrap responds:

thanks for the kind words :)

good

I like this more then most of your other songs. Its kind of ambient dnb, I may say.

The beginning pad, was really cold. Definitely wintery sounding. There is some melody but hard to hear from the pad, because of the release

Then the drums come. I noticed them different because they didn't make my ears bleed XP. Some compression may give the bassdrum a better boom sound you know. Try and change up the hi-hat a bit too. Some double-notes or off-notes.

The bass, I think needs some serious reworking. It sounds fine on the lower notes, but when the pitch rises, it has a very bad, wobbley, like sound. I think a pure sine sound would be better without the modulation.

I look forward to the finished project, since this one was so short.

-SineRider

DSMagnum responds:

I'm probably gonna take the modulation off of the bass or lower the attack on it. Make it just a straight bass.

Thanks for reviewing. I'll do your reviews later.

I like it

the intro to this really reminded me of an Aphex Twin song.

Starts off simple, just two notes and expands with some counter melodies and harmonies. Really is a bit of an out there track. Very distraught and mysterious.

The percussion, I think could use a bit more of a glitch sound. The samples there now are a but plain. I think even just adding a bit of reverb on them could help a bit. Just experiment with it.

I enjoyed listening to this piece and for that you get my 5

-SineRider

Psi-realm responds:

Hey SineRider I think I know which Aphex Twin Song you're talkin about is It Film because that track pretty much is what inspired me to try new things out But I don't know how Drum n bass like that is done. Thaingks for the useful advice I gave it some thought and you were right it was a bit too plain so I
changed somethings I saw as flaws and experimented, If ya get a chance to give the final cut a listen I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

Review time

Hello there.

This song was pretty good. The mixture of the drums and ambients went pretty good.

Starts off with a strong drumline. Although they really need some fxing and mastering. They are too bland right now and a bit loud. Try lowering the drum levels specifically on the snares. Try some eq and possibly a bit of reverb could help it.

The background pad part was a bit tough to hear. But its sounds nice as it is. When the drums stop for a bit, it really gets good. That melody and synth are really nice. The drums come back and the ambient part is a bit easier to hear. But still the drums suffer.

I would really like to see an updated version of this song. Its there but needs to come out a bit more, you know.

-SineRider

LfunkeyA responds:

thanx for the review. yeah i like to make the drums real loud (cause when I check my stuff I listen to it in 'Default' settings, no bass or anything), and probably I should have put a lil more reverb, that's true. Maybe I'll fix it one of these days, that's all I do now, fixing stuff :).

stop

stop reuining my songs plz

mkay

2/9

DSMagnum responds:

The song didn't render right. :(

Nice

This is amazing piano melody. I am very impressed by it. It really struck a brain cell or something, that makes me love it.

Starts off real slow. An amazing piano arrangement and melody. Is that recorded in? Soon a synth stab starts coming in. I was a bit surprised how it sounded. A low drumbeat comes in. I'm starting to really like this one.

Keep up the great work man
