"something happened..."

submission: Karco -- Nova --

Square:
This goes through your song and has a great matrix input to it.
It does also give a techy feeling. It sounds like one of the Microsoft synths, which is a good synth, and this synth is great too. It gets kinda lost after a while though.

(Matrix) Saw:
This synth disappoints me. I didn't like it at all, it sounds kinda cheesy and unthought of, too much fuzz in it too. You should have removed a lot of the notes leaving the main notes there.

Piano:
I'm kinda surprised you had a piano in there, as it doesn't exactly shine through the style of this. It was a very original touch into it though, and it made the song dramatical.

Intro drums:
This is very good for an intro, not complex at all, but it makes you prepared for the hell of a crazyness that may come. I have such a thing in the song I'm making now. And in the latter part of it it is also a good choice by doubling the hits one measure before the real kick-off.

Main Drums:
Not to forget. The most important part of the whole song. It's just some of the most crazy beat I've ever hears, I'm like; wow, STUNNED. It's totally on-beat and perfectly placed. And they're also heavy as hell. Man, I can't say it enough, how crazy these are.

Bass:
Same as before, crazy and really heavy. Could have been set even higher too and equalized into the crazyland.

(Noted) Saw:
The main synth in it sounds great, it is surrounding and really a great main synth, and the melody is one of these you will only discover by luck. Amazing.

String Section:
This is another part I couldn't imagine in my wildest dreams could have done good any place, but it does. It converts it from a mainstream techno song to an amazing drama song. And they have such great sections too.

People Masses FX:
Why did you put that thing in? It didn't make it better... maybe it made it even more spacy, but for you there is sure a good reason...

Launcher SFX/EFX Combo:
which is put to such a lot of places, and each time introduces a new part of the song. that's at least what I felt it did. And it is a great way to part up the song, but remember to do it softly and not obvious-i-fy it! The ending when you put it in was maybe the best time you did it since you had it so intense.

Background Pad:
Way to low volume on this! You should have it mch higher, and it seems kinda off-tone too. Fix the volume a tad lower and time it right.

Choir:
Same as the other one, really low volume!
This is toned right though.

Ahhhh, that was good, finishing the various tracks... I must've played this song a wealth of times now.

Now, for the general build of the song.

The start isn't what I would expect of this song. It is kinda unusual and SLOW for this song... kinda like when you're going into a rocket and are prepared for this awesome ride.

And the next part is really this awesome ride! First you launch the rocket, and then it gets fast as hell, and then it slows down kinda, and you feel relaxed... UNTIL you relaunch and you sit back in your seat with tons of G's straight in your face. Then it launches again, and it gets so fucking boosted with speed that you can't even imagine it. And it boosts up the speed again, but this time you reach another dimension, and it feels slower, more floating, but you're still feeling the crazy speed. Everything after that is just going faster and faaaaaaaster.... whoa, I guess I went too much into it :P

Author's Response:

Ouch, that's long! You wrote an essay on my song! XD But I won't respond to your entire review... just the criticism parts. Too... much... scrolling...>_< XD

Gaaaahhh, my lack of synth names/knowledge is really getting on my nerves right now. >=( I really don't know how to respond to any of that. I'll do my best.

The square thing is the pad I introduce in the beginning... right? Yeah, I feel fairly proud of my choice there. And yeah, it does get a bit lost - but I wanted to leave the volumes as they were, as I felt that if I were to change something I would be tempted to change 37 other sounds (exaggeration, there aren't really 37 sounds, of course) and then the song would be all screwed up. =P

Yeah, that blippy Matrix saw thing (you're talking about what I introduce at the end of the introduction, right? It comes back with the piano?) was pretty good where I put it - the main reason I used it was to add to the energy levels of the song. Come on, I did a good job there, right? =P

Yeah, I felt the song needed a piano. You can't have someone listening to a song as crazy as this for four minutes and not get a headache. This needs quiet moments, too. =P

Yeah, the drums in this song are awesome. They run circles around you... like Gunshot, I guess, but 10x better. XD

What do you mean? Should the bass have higher notes or volume? Probably notes - though I'm dealing with weird MP3s and if I make the notes higher, the lengths of those notes get shorter as well, which is annoying.

Yeah... see, my melody is actually a bunch of random note patterns put together. Nothing to be that proud of, though I'll admit it IS pretty catchy. Waaaaay too fast to hum or whistle, though. =P

Yeah, the strings were another nice choice in this song. It's actually supposed to be a pad, but ok. Sure. =D

Without the people masses thing, the song seemed a bit empty - nothing to justify those big transitions. They had to be there, I guess.

No further comments on the SFX/EFX. They are pretty sweet, though. =P

Background pad? Choir? What are you talking about? You already covered all of the instruments in this song. XD

Very nice efforts in that review. Much appreciated - thanks for reviewing and glad you like it so much. =D

...and on another completely unrelated note, I'm hungry. XD (Sorry, couldn't resist - I have extra space.)

Creatine Clockwork

"Good."

submission: Creatine Clockwork
date: December 24, 2006

another relaxing one, huh?
I guess that´s totally your style. The guitars made it especially good.
Smooth going from start to end, with some unusual breaks, though, this sounds more like its a harbour combined with the incoming harmonica(?) parts.

nice work AGAIN!

-WR-

(Next review will be a fucking huge one from SBB)

Author's Response:

Thanks! I didn't do so well with the mastering of this one, but... the song file is gone, wadda ya gonna do. Evan's a great guitarist. He wanted to name the song Creatine Meltdown and I wanted to name it Clockwork, so we found some middle ground. One of my favorite titles though.

Little Black Cat

Haha, sounds really cool. More of an arabic style in this, eh?
Experimental, NO? Oh god this is maybe some of the best experimental around, which it really is.
Great pads and rythm.

Author's Response:

Thanks! This track doesn't do a whole lot, but it's different, and that's all that matters. Recorded some nice night sounds. Had to steal the owl sound from a website though... although it's public domain, I guess it's not stealing. I hate that damned little black cat..... long story.

Thanks again!

(Gillenium) Ants in Blue Gel

"Nice."

date: December 24, 2006

Sounds like my track "Children Dreams" (SBB)
Minimalistic, slow as hell, but it´s therefore it´s so enjoying. The drum sequence and other stuff wasn´t that enjoyable though. I guess it spoiled the feeling a bit. But it sounds really fancy though!
I could imagine jumping around slowly in a moon landscape.

Author's Response:

I'll have to check out that track later. I think you may actually be catching up to Bamsukka in the reviews department... I'll have to crunch the numbers to make sure, so don't get cocky!!

This song had a big impact on the ambient community. A lot of people have told me they didn't really pay attention to the ambient section of NG until they heard this song. I've noticed that the number have ambient songs has been growing dramatically since I heard that stuff, too. I hope I had something to do with that... AMBIENT RULEZ!!1

Thanks again.

My Computer Can Sing

"Haha"

date: December 24, 2006

I loved this... too bad it sounds like it´s saying "Main piercing" and stuff like that.. or "man penis can can can", it sounds cool, though, how did you make this? I could mind altering different clips of recording one word for word.
-WR-

Author's Response:

hahaha, man penis can can can! I like to take titles and lyrics from things reviewers say, so don't be surprised if I use that one...

No special method for this one. Just recorded words and set them as samples in FL Studio. I recorded 25 songs really quickly in an experimental string of songs called the Static Spork Sessions (now with 30 percent more spork!!) Most of them sucked, but I submitted the ones that turned out well (little black cat, my computer can sing, spork wars 2, and ants in blue gel)

Thanks again!
