[[OS] Following Orion]

look at ze starz

today we had an english listening comprehension and it was a documentary about constellations and well, the geometric places of a pyramid group in Egypt look the same as the constellation "orion" haha

About the song:

Mastering: quite nice, but the kick and bass don't blend that well. Have you tried sidechaining the bass with the kick? I think it will give a more pumpy feel. (or did you do it allready? I'm not sure...)

Melodies are nice, as always, no complains.

I don't like the key change, because it always reminds me of the very bad carnaval music from here xd
(the patch of the bass = crome pole? Effect at 2:00 is jonah right? haha :P)

I like it, though! Piano piece is nice, though, maybe add some accents to it. I really like the drum piece but then the transition to the dancey/techno piece doesn't really fit...

9/10/, 5/5

ObsidianSnow responds:

I'm not sure what you mean by "sidechaining the bass with the kick". PM me, I'm interested...

Actually the bass patch was Purring Bass. And yes, the effect was Jonah. :P

Thanks for the review, MWA!

[Timeline (dance & dance)]

happy xd

good job on the synths. Bass and drums aren't really original, but if that's not your aim, then that's no problem :P I feel it's lacking vox or something.

Overal not bad, I like it,

9/10, 4/5,

Airprogressive responds:

Hey! thank you mate!

I wanted to add some lyrics to this

[-Lullaby]

wow

this is really nice, because of a couple of reasons,

1: It really tels a story
2: playing is really good
3: recording is really good
4: reminds me of martha mier

great job! I got nothing to complain about

5/5, 10/10, download, favourite

BlazingDragon responds:

I'm not familiar with Martha Mier, but I will definitely look her up. Thanks for reviewing! :)

[Halloween 3 FX]

omg so nice

You're really talented, you know that :O

Maybe not great for halloween, because halloween is mostly just scary and building to a climax and this song is just full on scary. But on the other hand, I really can see the zombies chasing you, so I think you did a great job :P

Love the laughing fx and the drums are quite original, well... actually almost everything is original here :P

great job!

5/5, 10/10, download, favourite

axeFX responds:

thanks for the review dude! I figured half way through the song I'd add some church bells to it... then it kind of became a halloween theme from there on. I'm glad you liked it.

Apparently I got honorable mention for the competition, but im too lazy to claim my $20 LOL. I'll tell them to donate it to unicef or something

[F*CK YOU!]

yea

The brass is a bit ugly, drums are nice, main synth is quite nice, 00:36 is nice.

Add a counter melody to finish it xd with other cords or something

It's nice, love the bass.

5/5, 9/10

sonicxtreme responds:

yeah...lol thanks man...peace

[[OS] A Serenade to Song]

wow

When was the last time, you submitted something? :O Wow, I really like the unpredictability of it :) You're shifting from major to minor and to all kind of chord schemes. I really like the way it all just laps (is that a correct word :O) like a river or something xD I love the chords at 1:19 and 0:52 till around 1 min.

but come on, you should really buy yourself a midi keyboard xD or do u have one and quantized everything?

well, not much else to say. I'd like to see the sheet though :)

5/5, 10/10

MW-Audio (Mjattie)

ObsidianSnow responds:

XD I don't even know how long it's been since my last submission.

Yeah, I've been trying to get away from using chord schemes that just repeat - I'm trying to learn how to get the music to keep moving and changing constantly while still generating a familiar theme inside of it... It's not easy, but I'm making progress. Also, as a point of interest, I've fallen in love with the major 9th interval in chords. Gives it a kind of gentle dissonance that no other interval seems to produce...

Lol, I agree, I need a MIDI keyboard... for this one I literally sat next to an upright at school, played part of a bar, put what I heard into the sequencer with my laptop's touch pad, and repeated the process a few thousand times. :P I randomized the quantization a little, which helps, but as I've discovered: randomizing never makes it sound human. For a real, authentic sound, you have to spend hours perfecting each individual note... and I just don't have the time XD

For sure, I'll pass the sheets your way once I get them together.

Thanks, MW!

this is an awesome song for madness. Well, maybe not perfect for madness because a lot of people who watch madness don't have a subwoofer, but the song itself is AWESOME.

I really like the chords and bass and the drums at 2:40 are SOOOOO FACKING UNBELIEVABLE GOOD. I can't complain about the mastering because I'm not that good at it...

definitely a download, favorite, 5/5 and 10/10

KroweMusic responds:

LOL. It's very nice to hear from you again, mjattie :D

I'm glad that you enjoyed it so much :D

[[S,J] Mixed Junkie]

OH MY

This is so unbelievably awesome! The bass blows me away :) It's nice that some drums are a bit glitchy and not totally in sync. :) I'd totally like to listen this when I'm drunk. I just... Whow! Never heard anything like this xD Only, I won't download it, because, well, it's too spastic to just listen to haha.

just awesome, 5/5, 10/10

MW-Audio (Mjattie)

SmithCommaJohn responds:

I love how you put in that you should listen while youre drunk. haha

Thanks for your review, man.

[Slow Relaxation]

kay

I like the synths and piano but the drums are a bit plain. Try some reverb and delay and tape distortion or whatever. xD Because the drums sound very preset.

Not bad though, only short...

9/10, 5/10

MW-Audio (Mjattie)

VampIce responds:

I think im gna mix up the drums abit, make it a little less "preset" :P and ye the reason y it is short is cause i intended it to be a loop. I made to be looped :) but thanx for ur input!

[moonlight dnb]

awesome

I really like this kind of soft DnB. You really did a great job, between all the crap here!

The synths you used are nice and the bass is cool. Did you use Reason for this? I'm going to check out some of your other tracks :D

5/5, 10/10,

groovatron responds:
