yayyyy
nice and simple, clean and fun. i dont think this needs piled on effects as a short loop, its good that you got back to the basics for this one, its pretty refreshing to hear not overly complex, ear shattering synths blaring out lol. though i agree with the guy below me, this could very well be extended into a sweet epic mix haha. do what you want, im behind you on that. check my stuff out if u have time =]
yum!
i think that this was an okay track, nice, happy, and uplifting. reggae is cool :D the arrangement or notes is fine, and instruments are mixed well, but i have some criticisms:
the steel drums were a nice exotic touch, but they were too overpowering and loud IMO - it just got kinda cheezy and weird feeling lol. the drums were too soft so i couldn't hear it much, and the vocals, while nice, were a bit too short [like that dude who blurts something out for a split second]. also, the guitar could use work. finally, it sounds like u were just introducing new instruments as the song went on--i wish they were more interestingly brought in with smoother transitions lol.
hope i helped :) and thanks for the review earlier!
ahahaha so bad its good
wowww this made me laugh listening to it. hahaha i agree this is like doom, at least the old timey sound makes it seem like that. great lollll
In my opinion doom is much slower than that, heh.
Anyway, thank you for the review ;) .
i disagree with the people below me
i honestly think the speed brought out the emotion within the piece. really, i am left speechless. this is a masterpiece!
Thanks, but I don't deserve this... credit belongs to John Cage, as he's the original author of this masterpiece!
hmmm
yeah like said earlier, the melody does wander too much and the pattern is cliched and lame-sounding, so i wont talk about tha tmuch. i think that you could do things in terms of synths/samples tho. I'm just going to throw you a bunch of stuff i can think of right now, since your new and you can use that criticism/suggestions ;) it seems like you have a grasp of how to use the program, so the second step is to experiemetn and figure out what sounds good, what you like and what you dont. [don't necessarily make things for how others would liek it... you will not be happy making music, satisfy urself!! lol]

1) the claps were just kind of weak and annoying, and sometimes the hats seemed out of place :P
2) the bass drum could be more textured - bring up the high frequencies with a parametric EQ or something, maybe overlay another sample so the bass part lasts longer and the drum sounds more interesting.
3) the synths themselves were really bland. i dont know how to tell you to get a good soundign synth, that's something you will have to experiment with. try adding on and taking off effects, changing waveforms and experimenting with LFO [low frequency oscillation] and the like. idk how FL really works, but im sure you can do al that stuff.
4) a stronger bassline would be nice--makes the song sound more full. so would some ambient effects/use of noise.

those are some suggestions, hope i helped :) it just takes time and practice to sound good =] and im glad u liked my song!
you helped... thanx a lot =D
hahaahhahaahaahaha
definately awesome. the background was totally solid. but the lyrics really made it hahhahha ronay is amazing
Go ronay go!
woooooo
once it started getting rolling at 30 that was pretty cool! :D though i wish the drums got a little stronger and less fuzzy at that point. the atmosphere really did seem robotic (though a bit evil sounding), gj with that. idk somethign jst didnt rub me right throughout it, but i cant put my finger on it. whatever its still pretty kickass! go rig.
[reading one of ur reviews to quarl] yes, yes you should review more!! *hint hint*
yumm!
i actually though tthat this sounded way more upbeat, not very sad at all even though its in a minor key. i like the slow speed, its more of a head nodding thing than an all out dance, which is nice for a change. i jst complain about some distortion and how the melody jst seems to meander a bit too much. gj!!
[p..s. ur review count looks really low!! [i.e. 0] give reviews in response to reviews dood, keep the cycle going :D]
Thank you! Finally someone who understands the effect I was looking for!!! I did speed it up to like 140 BPM and it was more dancey but it didn't sound right. Yeah have a subwoofer so maybe it sound a little different if you have regular speakers but I didn't get too much distortion. Thanks for the review, I'll start responding more lol.
tasty
i thought this was decent at the onset. some constructive criticism:
1) the bass drum probably should be more powerful, and consider adding more percussion than just hats and bass drum and an occasional cymbal, you can make some tight soundscapes that way :) also, the hi hat probably should be changed too, it could be stronger [try something snappy].
2) as teh song went on it just seemed to get a little random. the beginning was nice but it wandered around too much later on.
3)i wish there were some stronger synths, and some non-melodic instruments to make it grittier.
otherwise good job! the instrument work is decent, i like when it starts and stops when the bass drum goes.
meh, it was my first try. At least you don't rank based on the synth but rather instrumental, which is cool. I did not like my hi-hat sample because I thought it was too short and no others would fit for the song.
:D so fun.
yay!!! makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. though everything jst sounds kinda bland/some things are too synthesized-sounding.
and to the guy below, dont judge on genres you idiot. judge on what sounds good. though saxes would sound nice here, they are not necessary, and that is useless.
