Umm I think you should have left this song in techno like your first one. I'm going to grade it like it was in the techno section. Okay so very techno type so that's a plus. It has that kinda fast leading synth so your hands must have been tired playing that on the keyboard. I'm not sure if techno bases itself on repetitiveness like trance cause this song is quite repetitive. My lack of techno knowledge is making this review crap. Ahh what the heck. 9/10 on review and 5/5 on voting. There I'm done. Bye for now
Thanks for the review :D Lol ok, i dont have a lot of experience with any electronic music, and i thought this was dancable,so i put dance. Whatever, apparantly i dont know what drum n bass is either XD Well, I'm glad you liked it. Oh, and I use fruity loops. I have no idea how to play keyboard, lol. But some of the guitar in my other songs is me, i do play that. This is a long response. Bye.
I was laughing when I saw someone write a paper review. Mine isn't going to me nearly as long. Okay so song starts with buildup. I love buildup. That and cheery songs are the first 2 features I look for in any song. Yeah your song isn't cheery but you got multiple buildups. That airy buildup sound I love soo much. I heard that synth in another song on NG and I wish I had it. What program do you use? I use this cheap garageband 3 program which comes free with macs so yeah a $0 program. Not the best. So this is your general pattern. Buildup --> speed mix --> buildup --> speed mix etc. It kinda gets chaotic near the end of the song. Too much stuff is going on. I can see you put alot of effort in this song. Oh you even end with a buildup too. You really like that. So the breakdown is you get a 9/10 (the chaotic part had a bit of mushy sounds by the overlapping of synths) and a 5/5 on voting because you have outdone yourself in the art of building up. :) Bye for now
Hah, yeah... SBB really overdid it with that review. =P
That's true that my song isn't cheery - it isn't supposed to be. It's supposed to be high energy levels leading to higher. XD Darn it, I love buildups and you can't stop me from making them! =D
All of the synths in this song, with a few exceptions, I got from joor.com. It's a great website which has hundreds of synths, literally - recently I downloaded the drums there, it's likely you'll see them in my next song. The airy buildup sound you're describing is a pad, though I'm not sure whether you're talking about the one I start the song with or the one I continue the first buildup with and stay consistent with throughout the song... hmm. Let's talk about it via PM sometime. One I got from joor.com, the other from another website.
I use FL Studio 6 - find out about it at www.fruityloops.com. It's generally known as a program that's easy to use and good for newcomers to intermediate music artists, so if you're interested, go there. There are four versions, three of which are worth buying - the Express edition, ($50) which is pretty much a drumkit from what I've heard, the FruityLoops edition, ($100) which I have, and is a stripped down version of the third, the Producer Edition, ($150)which is the best you an get. The fourth, XXL, ($361) is the Producer Edition with a bunch of plugins together.
Yeah, I've said this what feels like 101 times and I'll say it again: mixing was a big problem with this song. Thankfully, it's not that big of one, as this song still has a perfect score of 5... and you made that 5 even stronger. Thanks a lot for the rating and the review, it means a lot to me. I hope you find this very long response worthwhile. XD
I have no clue how this song got 4/5 and is in the top dance songs. Oh well. There are alot of problems on the NG audio portal so I'm going to play along too....ahem awesome song. The best dance song by far. Your music makes the best artists on NG sound like neewbs. So umm yeah 6/5...but I can't so 5/5. LOL :)
Wow! two happy song submissions on the same day. I must be in heaven j/k. No surprise what score I'm giving you. I'm all for happy songs. Another great song. Your on a roll.
Well this is alot different from your usual dark low sounding songs. This has that nice airy feel to it. Continue to make more like this...I like happy songs. Speaking of...can you review and vote for my two dancefloor songs (ominous and heavens) which are happy songs. You get yourself a 5/5. You have to tell ppl in your review to sample your song. I found it so hopefully the 5/5 will get more ppl to listen to this. Great job
I guess my life is like Anakin Skywalker in reverse :)
thanks for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I'll make my way to your page in the very near future!
The beat is nice but that loud cackily sound kinda is annoying. Still for a loop, a good effort for your first. PM me when you come out with your first song. I want to see how that goes. So since your first I will give you 8/10 review and 4/5 on voting. Can you review and vote for my dancefloor songs (ominous and heavens) please? Thanks. Don't forget to PM me.
I've been waiting a long time for another music maker to compose a happy song. The dance section is filled with raves so this is a refreshing experience from the norm. We can both make happy dance songs. :) 10/10 and 5/5 voting because I like cheerful songs alot. Bye for now
I just reviewed your previous song and the next day you have a new song. Great work. I can see it is bit more dancy and I hear bubbles :) Quite a dark dance. Has that mysterious sound to it. I like your special effects. I will give you a 10/10 review and 5/5 voting. Okay bye for now
Yeah I'm always a bit biased when ppl make their first songs, but I'm just happy whenever a new artist comes along. As a first song this is impressive. I'm not sure if dance is the best area...trance maybe but I like the dark feel your bring. I can't wait for your future songs...this one I will give you a 10/10 review and 5/5 voting. Good stuff. Bye for now.
Well I have noticed you reviewing alot of songs where you keep on posting your song link so I decided why not sample this song. Trance isn't my favorite genre because it repeats too much, but since that is expected of trance that really means nothing in this review. I thought the beginning was a bit slow, but it builds up quite nicely. I couldn't hear the lyrics. I wanted to know how twisted they were :) I never heard of Blacknoise on NG but a good first collaboration. Not sure if you (both?) like happy dances since this song is way too dark for me. If you want to listen to the opposite spectrum, sample my two dancefloor songs if you want to. Here is your 5/5 (voting) and bye for now.
Never heard of Blacknoise? BN has the most amount of songs on newgrounds :O You might wanna check it out ;)
Well, the point of vocoding the lyrics so you couldn't hear them is cause both me and my friend have very... dull... voices. My friend read the poem and I'm the one that said "End my story" at the breakdown.
