i think one thing lacking from this is that socialism and democracy are not contradictory to each other ideologically. if i'm not mistaken, socialism is an _economic_ model, whereas democracy is a _decisionmaking_ one, and as such, should all the people in a democracy/republic convene and decide that the wealth should be spread out, thats both socialist and democratic.

and we see that in the socialization of America. arguably, you can say most developed nations _are_ socialist to a certain extent, not just china 'nam, canada, et al.

just sayin.

ctsg finally done? wordedd lol the animation was gewd too. rawk on audio portal :)

well, it works. just its a bit easy since you can just keep it bouncing wihtout it moving back and forth. make it so that it is more sensitive to where you click to make it harder [like the facebook original version lol].

also teh physics is kinda weird, it falls too quickly/irregularly.

this was a pretty decent song. ill jst comment as i listen.

first off, the mix is getting absolutely destroyed by the bass drum. its killing off all the other instruments once it comes in, so take that down a notch. the other effect of that is that it seems pretty much like there's no bass instrument. i think you were intending for the chord stabs to do that. but its jst not there anymore. its jst the bass drum, so that makes the song come off as a little superficial.

the lead chords are really soothing. you chose an excellent sound for that, and the chimes complement them more or less perfectly. good job, its a memorable and simple chord sequence that works really well.

other pet peeves: the speeding up snare roll in the build up at the start is trite. it works, but id try something different ;) the song doesnt evolve in the 30 seconds when the beat came in. play around with your lead chords. also, try to play with more percussion to make the beat deeper. finally, as a suggestion, in the build up with the chords, maybe you can try to exaggerate the chords more than you did in terms of sustain/release to make a really full sound with a strong, soft bass pad (some derivative of sine would work probably). that would plunge the listener into warm depth right off the bat.

apart from that, i think that overall this is a decent composition. its not very interesting at this point, but thats probably because its a 1 minute sample, so keep at it. good luck!

hahaha nice! some mixing suggestions first--1) its good to keep the vocals a little more centered. it seemed to spaced out a lot of the time. 2) maybe raise the level on the vocals a bit more too, because it seemed to compete a little too much with the background. otherwise, good job on the mix.

i thought you did an overall good job with this remix. its a really simplistic melody, so it comes off as a good anthem, though too uninteresting to have any real lasting value. it would do well in a club setting though. as a suggestion...

1) find some more interesting transitions between sections than silences and reversed cymbals. thats fine once or twice, but it gets boring after a while.

2) try adding more auxiliary percussion like another hat line, bells, shakers, tambourines, whatever. it would add some depth to teh song, and fill out the high end of the spectrum a bit (right now it feels very bass heavy).

3) try sidechaining the bass with the pattern that you currently have against the bass drum. i know sidechaining is trite and all, but it seems like it would work well in this situation.

gj overall though, its a solid submission.

i think you have a really good concept here. but, it's mixed oddly and so it comes off as a little bit... off.

the drums shouldnt be sidechained out on this one. have a strong beat, because the ducking on everything else is driving the personality of the song, and the beat and rhythm behind it shouldnt just be ducking out. your bass drum is completely unhearable, and it would have been so fuckin tight if your bass drum, snare, and hats/crackling were hard and punchy.

second, it needs more variety even for just a 1 min run through of the meat of the song. try modulating into different keys so the song explores more.

third, sometimes it feels like the ducking is a little bit off beat. i think it's okay, but i dont think its really necessary if that was an intentional effect.

i could probably go into more detail but since its jst a short demo, work on it more for later. oh, and as a heads up, ur jst supposed to give a 1 min or so demo for the EP, so this is a bit long. but whatever lolz.
