Review
Hi Johhny,
I heard about this song in the forums so I checked it out. That is some long explanation for your song! Anyway, seems like your past reviews have covered everything...pros and cons. I'll just add some extra redundant stuff you probably already know about.
Well, first I think the song is weird. The beginning sounds generic...yes I heard that bass sound from other trance songs on youtube. Sounds awesome though. I like psytrance a bit so me like the fast bass pattern.
I don't like that high pitch sound at 30 seconds. You should have used a different instrument. I'm not digging the composition of this piece. It doesn't rise to a climax.
2:18 the guitar sounds awesome.....iif it weren't a trance song. This is the weird part. Again, I don't think a guitar should have been used in this song....or at least not play the lead role. That 30 seconds instrument is back again. Sorry, I'm just annoyed at that sound.
4:10 I like this part. Quite magical and happy. You really got to start changing that pattern which the bell is now playing. The diversity is really lacking in this piece. I do like the drum roll build up.
So I guess I can pretty much stop here. I'm hearing the same stuff again.
Its hard for me to tell how hard you spent on making this song. 3 months is a heck of a lot of work...but reading a past review by karco.....he said he noticed generic instruments. I personally do not own fl, cubase, or nexus....I use Logic studio. For the benefit of the doubt, I will assume you made all the instruments so big kudos....except for that 30 second instrument. :) As for the composition (the note patterns), I did not find it very difficult to make. However, that guitar sure brought an interesting spin to your song....more original I guess....but not original for the composition. So to conclude, this song sounds much better than a lot of songs on NG. I'm not a fan of diverse music, but if this makes you happy, I do think your music is less repetitive than pulstate stuff. However, he got signed so umm yeah. The rest of us are still learning including myself and the good thing is that were are all getting better together. Things are looking upwards for the NG musicians. GL with your future stuff (I know this is an old song of yours) and wish me luck too.
5/5 and 9/10 review.
Bye for now
