Sounds awesome. It reminds me of the soundtrack from a game I used to play years ago. It has a huge library of extremely moving music, the spirit of which you captured here. It makes me feel all luke-warm and bitter-sweet inside.
My only qualm is that i think the reverb, especially on the bells needs a bit more dampening.
I'm happy that it could evoke those feelings.
I agree about the reverb, and I also realize now that I applied too much limiting.
Really nice. I can tell you mixed this on bad headphones though. Too much emphasis on the low end and not enough high-mid - highs. I'd like to see a remastered version of this once you can.
First I'd like to preface this by saying a few things. This sounds extremely similar to the songs I made a few years ago when I first started using generators and MIDI. Also I fully intend for this review to be 100% constructive.
The melody is not bad and is actually quite catchy so awesome job! unfortunately it is very very repetitive and does not evolve or progress over time. Another point I think you should focus on improving is the complexity of the overall mix, there is I believe at most 3-4 voices/instruments at a single time, not including the drums. Similarly, most of the track has an instrument playing 1 not at a time, no chords, sometimes I also do this too.
After that, the next things you can focus on are the drums and transitions. Four on the floor is great, but only that is monotonous, same with the 8/4 HH. Don't be scared to have fun with your beats, add in snares, Open Hats, some rides, toms, crashes and fun SFX. Don't forget to vary things up, because even the most wicked sick beat will get boring after a while if it is just looping over and over.
All that said, I sense potential in this song and I think if you develop your skills you can make some amazing music someday. If you ever need any advice or tips make sure to PM me and I'll help you out on my free time!
Good Luck!
I really love the subtle sounds you put in this song! It may not have a complex melody but the progression is really damn nice!
Great jobs on the drums, and the filter around the mid point is awesome!
The name works great and I could totally see this in a video game. If you've played Factorio or FTL I could see it in both of those games!
Thank you! I haven't played those games, but I guess I should check them out :)
Who needs melody when you have ARPS???
the oscillation on the synth at 3:35 and 5:05 is a little too intense in my opinion. maybe at 5:05 it is okay due to the accompanying instruments but at 3:35 it doesn't sound great to me. Still a great track, I remember hearing the previous version somewhere and enjoying it.
hm, maybe. i'll look into it
I feel the Intro would be better if the drums carried through. Clean sound but lacking substance in my opinion. Also it's very short, are you going to keep working on this one?
Yeah this is going in my collection. Beautifully done, there is really nothing more I can say.
Actually no, I can say something. If you can add some good soft lyrics to this you can take it to the next level of badass. Keep it up man, I'm a fan.
Excellent job on the audioscape. The song feels extremely strained and I love it. I agree a bit with mewtew though, it is a little too sharp.
But overall very nice, it is rare to see dissonance done well.
I like the intro. That synth is very nice. The arp needs a lot of work though, work a little on your notes there. Not really feeling the pad too much either. Definitely has potential.
Thanks for the input!
The arp is automatically done by FL Studio and I might go in and do a manual arp.
