hmm
Sorry I forgot to review you back. So I will do it now :)
Starts off really nice. Ambients at its best. A nice melodey on that synth, and some really eerie background noises. The harp was nice touch too.The sound fx and Brass section were nice. It gave it an epic felling.
But then... Woooah, I never would have expected those breaks. From a personal stand point, I thought they were too in your face, and didn't fit well.
Overall great work, just work on your drum parts.

Lol, I'm starting to hit myself for those breaks, but it was supposed to be in your face, so that's good, 'cause I wanted that :P
-Kinda my "touch."
XD, thanks for the review!!!
-ImperfectDisciple-
Cool
Kind of reminds me of song underwater world or something. It does loop pretty well too.
I love that pad in there. Its kind of entrancing. But wow, your drums are fucking awesome. I love all the reverse effects on them, it really gives it a lot of character.
You were able to keep my attention with glitch in drums and expanding melodies. I think some else said it in another review, there was a bit of clipping because of the resonance of all the instruments. A bit of an ear sore, but alas a great song.
-SineRider
I was all set to return your 200th review with a 200th review of my own... but then it said I only had 196! There's only one reasonable explanation: somebody has stolen my reviews and sold them on the black market. It's a sorry world we live in where one can't even trust that one's own reviews are protected from theft...
But I digress. Underwater you say? I knew I should've put it under "ambient"... Glad you liked the drums. Sorry about the ear sore; I'll be the first to admit I have a long ways to go when it comes to mastering and such.
Thanks for the review!
keehee
"Atonal Rythmic Noise" haha I love that title. Quite like the title says, it resembles the actual song.
Starts off nice and simple. Then the drumbeat completly goes wtf on me lol. I have no idea what the hell you did the get that noise. But actually reminds me of an artist I had been listening to lately called BT.
I guess only thing I wished was there was more of a melody or something. But kick ass as it is.
-SineRider
Never heard BT - I'll have to look into it a bit. - thanks a ton -
I've also reviewed your latest.
Great
Opeth happens to be one of my favorite metal bands. This is an amazing cover. Definitely has professionals sound to it.
The vocals were very well done. The other instruments were great as well. Well I don't have much to say, because it was good.
Thanks for your vote, SineRider! You voted 5 for Opeth - To rid the Disease, raising its score from 3.80 to 4.00.
-SineRider
thanks alot! we spend ages on it so it's nice that at least a few people thing it's not terrible...
Great
This is really good, especially for your first song. It really had a nice chilled sound to it. It loops pretty well too.
It starts off nice. The background pad had a really wide sound to it. The bassline was nice. The drums were rather interesting. Kind of trance sound to it mixed with glitchy sounding samples.
I don't have much criticism for you. But definitely try and work on having more dimensions in your music. For example, this song you may want to add a lead and harmony.
Overall good work for your first. I hope to hear more.
-SineRider
Thank you :)
I'll try to have more dimensions in my song next time :D
In fact, I'm getting my hands on a keyboard in a few days, so that'll probably make it easier for me to add leads and stuff :), writing music with the mouse is a pain :P
I likey
This really had a chilled feeling to it. It is sort of like house/ambient sound to it as well.
It starts off rather nicely. A nice arping synth. But the drums sort of surprised me. Personally, I think they need some eqing and maybe some reverb. You also should try and change them up a bit. Different patterns you know.
The bass was actually quite bassy. My desk was shaking a bit. But against all the other instruments, the mix started to get a bit muddy. Try some different final eqing on the entire song, or just turn the bass down somewhat.
The bell lead synth was cool. Kind of loungey sound to it almost. There are some nice melodies and harmonies.
You seem to get most of the instrumentation and melodies down pretty well. Just work on a more interesting drum pattern and eqing the song.
-SineRider
Yeah, the bass could have used some work... it was the main cause of my lack of clarity, but I unfortunately didn't know how to fix that.
I thought I could have changed up the drums, but I was afraid of changing the atmosphere of the song. I'll try to at least experiment, next time, before making that assumption. ;)
Thanks a lot for the review. Much appreciated.
hmrrm
Well, it was interesting. I personally didn't like the vocals. They were a bit annoying to me. I've never heard the original. But I'll assume it kicked ass.
Well it wasn't exactly original, or anything really new. But there was some nice glitch work on the synth at one point. The melody was good.
The synth sounded a bit detuned to the vocals. The bass was fine. The drums need a lot of work though. The bass kick is too loud. The lap is too quiet. Some more hi-hats would be nice too.
Some mastering to the drums and vocals would be good. They would blend much better and sound alot smoother.
Keep working at it man and you'll get it
btw I'll 5 you because of the 0 voter -)
-SineRider
thank ya much
I'm not really done with it yet, but I figured I would submit it to see what kind of feedback I could get on it.
It was my first attempt trying to remix a song using just vocals, so I'm glad that it isn't entirely terrible at least.
I think it is still missing something, I'll probably resubmit it whenever I figure out what it is... and as for mastering, I need to get a new set of headphones or something, because it seems like only luck whenever I master something right.
How strange
A couple months ago, I had a try at this song. I love the simple piano melody of the original. Its always been a favorite NiN song of mine.
Really interesting take on the song though. I love those background sounds around the end. Very NiN like eh?
Its too bad you didn't really do a lot with the melody, but it is perfect as it is :D
-SineRider
Heh, thanks.
Yeah, I really didn't do much with the song. I basically just redid it, for my own purposes; I wanted to remake it, and Nine Inch Nails is my favorite band.
Perhaps in the future I may do something more to it, but I love how it came out anyway.
Thanks for your words :)
Strange
Well, it was very strange and one of a kind piece. Haven't really heard anything like this before.
The beginning was very eerie. But the piano in the seond part was strange. Sounded offtune a bit. From my point it almost ruined it.
It was rather diverse though. Tempo changes were good effect. The third part completely threw me off though. Almost that it could be its own song. It was a bit of a contrast.
Try and smooth out the transition, put a bit of mastering work, and you may have a good piece here.
-SineRider
Doom
Before I start this review I have to say this is my 200th review!! yay for me
Well this really made me laugh. It is good that you were able to add comedy to a serious track. Gir is the shit, why did they cancel that show?
Very interesting use of the samples. Thy actually mixed rather well with the song. Interesting drums and synthlines.
The glitch effects on the vocals in the beginning were very cool.
It could be mastered a bit better. There was some clipping and it seemed a bit low quality. Some of the drums and bass parts didn't really mix too well. Other then that it was funny and cool song
Keep it up man
-SineRider
congrats on your 200th review! I'm honored to be the recipient. Glad my remix made you laugh.
Thanks for the review!
