Nice.
I really like your stuff man. I check your page regularly for new stuff...
This sounds sorta like Pantera if you listen to them at all :P (If not- you should XD)
Guitar sounds great as usual and the solos were good too.
Consider vocals perhaps? Surely you could find another local musician who could do them well.
Though I would be just as happy to hear the music.
Keep it up.
Hey thanks for the review! I actually got the idea for the song from listening to Pantera lol. And yes someday I'll have vocals in my songs lol. I dont know if I'll find a local vocalist to do it but who knows.
Well,
I see what could be a great song here.
Though right now it's what I'd classify as shit.
Instead of recording your keyboard (or something?), why not download some sequencing software like FruityLoops or something?
Your vocals sounded like you were 'pretending' to yell- or recorded this late at night and didn't want to death growl properly in case you woke someone up.
The few growls you did weren't bad,
but you really need to stand up away from the mic (use a pop-protector) and really TRY and pull them out of your guts instead of whispering.
I'd really like to see you do a decent version of this. I can see it being something really good.
Best of luck to you :)
Hrm
Well, it's not really a song. And it isn't all that enjoyable to listen to.
I think perhaps it would be good if it was part of a longer song and had some drums behind it?
:)
I'll keep an eye out for your future releases.
Good
Ah, it's done :)
What you have here is good But there is no real clear structure to this song. It's all just ride, and never really gets to where it's heading.
There is a small part at the end which shows a bit of variation, but you need to have some kind of hook or "chorus" instead of a repeated riff sorta thing.
Keep in mind that a bit of dynamics (stops and starts, soft and loud parts) can make any good song a great song.
I am also curious as to how this would sound with vox?
Thanks again, man. There is a structure...somewhat... I worked it Verse, prechorus, chorus...no bridge or nothing though. Thanks again for the cool review!!\m/
Man!
Did you really make this?
It's seems so incredibly accurate...
Awesome work! This brought back great memories!
I will look forward to more stuff from you :P
yeah soul reaver was a great game is my insperation for neally everything i make
Ok..
Not bad. Though I still dont see the point in 'previews' other than digging for praise from the easily impressed.
I like how the kick sounds in this, but the song never got to the point where it could really do any serious work.
Your snare is a bit over-sibilant and your hi-hats and ride and stuff were barely audiable.
That reversed splash the song starts with clipped my headphones at half volume. They aren't that shit either-
consider a limiter?
Guitar was pretty good, however simple.
I'd like to see this done, though it isn't too spectacular.
Thanks man, the reason for previews, is exactly for this kind of review. This way I can find what works and doesnt work. I would like to tweak the sounds before finishing a song. Its not as you say "Digging for praise by the easily impressed." Its for the feedback on things to change for the final version. So I appreciate this review. And thanks for the advice. I'll definitely consider the limiter, because I agree. The reason fof the simplicity, is... I find that if I listen too hard for the complexities, I'm not actually hearing the song. I don't want to "work" to actually hear a song. But thanks for the review, it was just the thing I am looking for. Rock on!
Wow :|
Do you see that emoticon?
:|
Yes- that one.
That's what I looked like when I heard this.
The other day I downloaded the Doom MIDIs and imported them into Reason, thinking of doing a remix. After looking at what other people did, I thought I had no challenge at all to make something better than them-
Then I downloaded this, thinking it'd be just another shitty take off. I was wrong!
I like how you added your own element, but still kept a bit of recognizable Doom spirit going!
Drums had that wonderful inhuman prescision that you can only get from a sequencer :P People might not like it- but I love it.
Guitars reminded me a bit of Iron Maiden, too ;o)
Hopefully I'll have a nice industrial remix out one day.
Though, I salute you all the same!
Well I'm glad to see that you liked this song. This is indeed different from the original but I made sure to keep it somewhat recognizable. So thanks for your review and I'll be sure to check out one of your tunes soon.
Wow
This is great man!
Keep 'em coming.
Alright..
Reason, no?
I'd recognize that HEAVYGTR NN19 patch anywhere (correct me if I'm wrong, though :P).
Anyway, the last guy pretty much said what needs to be said.
What you have done isn't bad, but alot of the instruments seem to be stepping on one another. The drumkit could do with a bit more definition, as that tends to drive most industrial music.
With the distortion unit over your guit, try adding more presence and less mid, lower the output vol aswell, as it tends to just own everything..
Dynamics are nice to throw in aswell.
Keep it up!
Very nice!
Well pulled off, although your guitar lacked definition in parts.
Vocals, perhaps?
