ooooooook
those first 2 notes are good....
after that it just...falls apart......
in trance, there would be kick that would kick in a lot sooner. you use overly power chords(tone down the volume a bit) and you dont use a really a solid synth. you have a bunch of bass synths, which i would chenge. the only i ike is the bell pattern.
you need a good solid and an poen hi hat. u forgot that one.
there, i had fun :)
theblackhawk--_--
I actually only have two bass synths, but i guess i have a lot of others that play like a bass. But yeah. I had no idea what i was doing when i started this so i can see how little minor mistakes in my oppinnion can be blaring in yours
i feel like i owe u a couple reviews...
so here we go.
nice ambient/dark aura beginning. The clicks and the squeaks make me antipate the beat.
then this awesome well put together chill beat breaks in.
the electrionic beep sounds couple have more teble, but still, great feel.
You brought in a euro trance/industrial effect somewhere...that would be really nice if it was following a particular order, you know? like if it was follow set notes instead of just playing one.
after the acid break, and the weird(but in a good way) voices play, then it breaks into a 4/4 beat. aw yeah, thats just what i needed.
im senseing an electronic screeching pad in the backround......its really nice...dont get me wrong, and it adds a great feel, but maybe something mroe...i dunno. maybe some soft strings when it hits the end?
wow man....this song loops PERFECTLY! no glitches! im....amazed.
that is quite the feat. i could never do that...
great work man!
you will always pwn me

Thanks! - I wish I could remember what the voice says... ha! it's something fairly twisted - I forget what I came up with but if you know anyone who speaks french they may be able to translate it :D
BTW - on the voice - I translated some english into French via babelfish, cut the result and pasted it into the AT&T tts engine awesome results - check here - http://www.research.att.com/projects/tts/demo.html
Saved the results - brought it into SoundForge and started playin around with it...
I've found that site to be useful for generating little bits of speech if needed...
I actually really like the END of this track - the whole beginning just seems to drag on a little and it hits really late - right after the speech - I'm in the process of remixing this... But it may never be finished as I might abandon it in favor of more recent pursuits :)
As for the looping ... I use mainly AcidPro to build music - use that for a while and you'll get really good at making seamless loops to use in it! I'm surprised that there aren't any little skips or anything due to the flash player.
Thanks again!!
sup man.
very straight foreward song, nice upbeatness, then it hits into a nice soft chorus string which i think fits in very well with the filtered chorus lead instrment.
the open hi hat has to go tho. use a traditional open hi hat, dont use the hip hop vintage hat.
You need to make the break offs or build ups a little more defining, like add a few more instruments or something, y'now?
great work man, keep on puttin!
theblackhawk--_--
Why thanks, it isn't finished though, more good sound to come, tell your friends!
ok im gonna keep this honest
good piano and drums build up in the begginging, but the kick could have been more solid, y'now? pump up the volume on the kick maxed out, then add a closed hi hat on the kick to give it a more solid sound.
The snare thing WAS nice but u used a bit too much...im not saying ditch the snare thing, but add more variety intead of useing the same patteren over and over again.
one thing that bugged me, was that im wating for this awesome break into chorus, and it frigin breaks into half time!
and what could have made that fuller(if it wasn't half time) was a big, sappy, buzzy brass.
Its ok if its half time, THEN it breaks into a full beat.
The half time is really annoying me...if u wanna hear a good example of a half time beat breaking into a 4/4 beat, check out my song Faded--_--.
Its got those elements in it.
other than those, great song.
theblackhawk--_--
nice.....
i never knew ppl still drill_dl. it kinda got old with all the ppl using it and slicing it and....ugh.
you could have at least sliced it up man.
Not bad, could use work, keep it up.
theblackhawk--_--
youve got some nice music, and yes this is sliced!?
hmmmmmmmm
you are taking the b0unc3 approach.
nice.
good melody, but i would have timed that a little different.
The Arp is nice, but after the string rise, i would have the open hi hat kick in and the snare.
I also would ayhve changed to signature note from c to a.
just to make it that much more propelling.
great song, but needs better build ups.
theblackhawk--_--
ah...thank you very much, seriously, i always thought there was something missing on this piece, im glad you can help, well i'll try and work on that in the future...any other critique you can dish out is great ^^
-shinny
niiiiiiiiiiiice as always
you were basically the guy who taught me drum n bass to a large degree, so i think i owe you a review when ever u have a new song.
anyways, you still pwn me.
wow, how can you take a very ambvient square lead witha very soft pad, and add destructive overdrive to the drums and then put em together and it sounds good!!!
wow, that amazes that it didnt O D on ya.
Now, since im not too good as for melodies as excpet for when it comes to trance, i cant think of anything else but good job on that.
very unique.
now the drums were very nice and dirty and described the songs name very well 'Gentle rage'
buuuuuuuut
there is alwayas a but in a song
all of the drums were distorted. not one clean drum.
now, it could use some nice clean hats, or maybe you could have added some very fast snare stabs with a clean no distorted snare.
or so on and so forth.
but, i would have catagorized this as under industrial or drum n bass.
probably industrial.
great work, as always!

Thanks blackhawk! - I wouldn't go so far as to say I tought you about D&B.. I may have pointed you to a few breaks but that's about it... :)
There were a -few- clean drums but not very many...
Thanks for the review! I appreciate it! ...now if only I could get you to vote on it ... haha..
Thanks again! - I'll get over to return the favor as soon as I can!
one question
drum machine or real drummer?
which one did you use?
nice guitar work dude.
theblackhawk--_--
Actually, it was a loop created by a friend of mine: Orodreth. He used Proppelerhead's Reason to create the loop.
Thank you for te review.
hmmmmm
congrats on the a-bots weekly #1!
now, to the song.....
really repeptive, but thats what trance is, eh?
but still, its nice to have a little variety here and there, maybe more patterns.
the bells could have been an octave higher, in my opinion, to make them stand out more.
the synth voice you used is nice and calming, but again could be played in octaves or could have been louder.
the guitar stabs are nice. the right volume, right anything. no complaint there.
the euro trance backround square lead is very nice. nice fx there.
the piano truely makes this relaxing.
a little more special FX though, like fall downs, rise ups, blips, space pads would have made this song a lot more formidible.
you could have made a really pretty snare build though with a flanger on it, just to define when the chorus hit.
maybe some woman vox lyrics would have made this really the full potential that it could ahve been.
well there ya go ma friend.
Congrats again on the no 1.
theblackhawk--_--
(you owe me a revierw now lol)
