For the lulz?
Bullshit, some work definitely went into this and it's obvious!
Definitely one of the better songs submitted, this is a real contender for one of the four winners. It's an original tune, the diversity is there, the originality is there, the effects are there, EQ and panning are all there. Great job man, thoroughly enjoyed this track! Though, one thing, where is the Amen Break? I can't hear it :P
Well done though!
The amen is in the beginning, the breakdown(if you can even call it that), and it's filtered in the background.. though I don't know if that's good enough for them.
I think I worked on this for about 45-50mins
Pretty good
Like the mix of the ambience with the drum and bass. Don't think I've seen this style many times on Newgrounds. Bass sounded good, could've done with being louder though. Tune was awesome and it was just a pleasure to listen to. Forgive me for not being very in depth, I'm tired and you're a judge. ;) Well done!
i seem to have an issue with my bass loudness... i always think it should be louder, but its maxed usually lol.
thanks tho
Awesome!
This is the first time I've heard cardboard scraped over a grill pan for a bass, it worked great. You're one of the few people that can get close if not replicate the commercial DnB sound of artists like Noisia, Spor and SubFocus. Great punchy drumming, can't tell if the whole thing is the Amen Break though, I assume it is. A nice heavy tune to top it off and this is what you got. Nice work dude!
I just used the amen in the beginning and in the middle part. Thanks for the encouragement!
Great track!
Intro was very catchy, sounds almost like Indian music at the start. Introducing the guitar was definitely a good idea, it sounded great! Great use of the Amen Break, you've achieved diversity and originality, that is I'm assuming you cut it up and re-arranged it yourself :P The beat was nice and clear, not too quiet and not too loud. Really good track here! I hate to be the only one so far not to vote 10, but it's a contest so I'm trying not to over exaggerate. Well done dude, keep it up! I'll try and check out some of your other stuff too.
Thanks. Yeah thats exactly what I did to the Amen Break.
Pretty good
Like was said before, the intro was pretty rough, if you can bare the intro, then it moves on to a pretty good track. I've not played Unreal Tournament, but from what your saying this is a song from it? I'm not putting any bad afflictions to using other peoples tunes, but it does make it less original obviously. You need to increase the volume of the bass and generally equalize this track a lot. The drums were pretty quiet a lot of the time, being an amen break contest, having the break too quiet isn't such a good idea lol. Anyway, good track, I'll try and check out your other tracks as well. I like to be honest but I don't want to come across as harsh either even if it sounds like it. Knowing where you've gone wrong is how you improve, remember that! :)
Well done dude!
Thank you very much for the review!
This is just the first submission, my other submission i think you would like.
Not sure..
Not a huge load of effort unfortunately, doesn't sound bad though. At least it's in somewhat stereo and doesn't sound to Mono. I could imagine it being used in a kind of.. nuclear fallout Chernobyl type situation, if that makes sense? Definitely could be used as a sound effect. Also, the pressure of the water would have killed you before you could even get a mile down ;)
It makes sense.
And, I know about the pressure killling you sooner, but I thought a few miles would add suspense, especially if your still alive.
Thanks!
Very well done!
Definitely one of the better General Rock songs I have listened to. The tune is catchy and well recorded. Needs a bit more EQing, panning and volume editing though. The solo that starts at 1:23 needs a bit of work, I think you could make that sounds a bit better. I'm a guitar player myself so of course there are bits I would change but it's up to you to do that otherwise I'd be co-writing it, lol! What's with the random shout at the end too?
Thanks man. Good review. Yeah this is a rough mix, we'll do all the final mix downs once the song is finished. The random shout is me yelling at the bassist. He was supposed to stop with the rest of us but I guess he just got caught up in the groove lol.
It's okay.
But a lot of the sounds were pretty bad. The bass is pretty horrible and the drums don't have much kick to them. It sounds like you're using presets. I suggest you get a hold of some good drum samples, things like vengeance essential club sounds is a good one. You need to mix it into stereo as well, it's all very mono atm. A rough guide to doing this is to have your basses in the centre and your mid and highs to the left and right. Good luck!
I actually aren't using presets, I bought those drum samples, too. I just suck. :<
Also, I've never done stereo mixing, so
I suck. D:
Excellent!
Sounds nice and professional. I wouldn't call it drum and bass though, more ambience. While listening to this I can't help but picture some sort of Grand Designs program or an advert for holidays. That's not an insult, that's a compliment!
:D ok thanks. Well it's kinda breakbeat, and drum and bass is the closest to breakbeat on NG i think.
Great tune, lower the kick though.
The kick needs to be quieter at the beginning, it overpowers the snare completely. The tune is great, I like the build-up of the synths. I agree with you that the melody at the end should be changed. Maybe a different sound at that point as well it doesn't seem to fit in with the rest of the track in my opinion.
I have no doubt that you'll perfect it though man, all I really have to do is keep watch for when the finished piece comes! Great job!
Yeah, people (offline too) have mentioned the kick was too loud, will change next update.
I also agree about that last synth, it needs a lot of work.
I'll be sure to let you know on IRC or so :)
Peace!
And thanks for reviewing!
Shut up, you bitch. Tehe :3
