Ah, Reason 4.
I use 3.0 myself, kind of old school haha.
Did you make all of the synths? I like them; very loose sounding but I think there may be a little bit too heavy of a delay on them. Very cool ideas used in this track, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Might wanna watch your levels though, there's some weird compression problems with the track. Other than that though, awesome shit.
Keep it easy brosive;
-Zenon
Thanks Zenon :3
Yep i make all the synths with the combinator i really Love the NN-XT and Thor .
I try a few tips in the next tracks .
-Zuelo
Cool.
The effects you had going behind the drums (sounded like some sort of... distorted drum?) sounded great, but you really should have maybe zapped the bass from them because it makes the bass synth sound muddy. In fact, at around 1:20, I can barely hear the lead... OR the bass! It's all good and sounds good, but I wanna be able to hear all the parts :)
Have a good one mang;
-Zenon
Hey thanks bro thats a good tip to use! haha sorry for the delayed reply 've been busy at college but yeah definetly thanks for the idea! =D
SgtGirlyGirl...
...needs to learn what industrial is :/ This is mostly definitely trance, and I love the unique elements that you added to this track. Some of the sounds seemed cheesy, sure; but the new looks that you took on traditional goa methods were interesting! A great listen, really enjoyed the part at 2:30.
Keep it easy;
-Zenon
thanks man. i get that alot about my synths lol, kinda wacky, but i guess its because i want to try everything i can with them even by taking it to the extremes a little but i try to be innovative, im trying to make original sounds and compositions mostly, thanks for the review!
FUCKING SICK.
For some reason I just can't stop listening.
Cheers brooooooooooo :D
I've been getting so deep into house and breaks it's not even funny.
It just makes me want to daaaaaaaaaance :D
Oh man
It's been too long since I've written a 'good' review. As usual, automatic 10. Gives the illusion that no matter what I say, it's always gonna be good cause there's a 10 right there ;)
Arrangement wise, this song was very solid but there were some really funky parts. I wouldn't call them holes in the arrangement; in fact, I'd call them unnecessary additions. The beginning is great; 16 bar introduction with 8 bar intervals between introducing new instruments. But at the part at 2:09, where you slow the song into half time, and I sat here and counted it out several times... I thought it sounded kind of weird but it turns out that you don't have a 4 bar segment there, you have a 4 bar and 2 beats segment! Honestly, musically that's entirely fine. But when I'm listening to a drum 'n bass/ breakbeat song that I'm expecting to deliver a solid groove and then bam, there's two extra beats, it makes me feel kinda funny on the inside.
I like your choice of instruments! Very good riffs and even the drum work is above decent. I see that you've got the whole panning the hi hats down good, but remember to never have too busy of a kick drum. Another song I reviewed a long time ago was a drum 'n bass track with really really busy kick drums. Double pedal worthy, almost. He replied in my review saying that he meant to have a busy kick drum since, being a drummer, he was able to play it. That busy kick drum almost creates another genre though. I honestly think this is much more breakbeat-ish than drum 'n bass, but the drums create the illusion that it's a fancy mixture. Plus, a busy kick drum has the potential to drown out the bass synth.
Go get yourself some better samples and you'll sound amazing. Good work.
-Zenon
Awesome review, you saw more into the piece than most people do. I'm pleasantly surprised and thank you for taking the time to do this review.
I know this piece isn't DnB as I've said in the comments, that this would belong in the breakbeat genre. However seeing as NG lacks that genre, I thought this might be the next best place but perhaps DnB doesn't cut it.
As for the funky parts to be honest I only realized it at the end and by that point I was too exhausted to keep working on the piece. Don't get me wrong its not that I'm submitting something that I think is incomplete but I found that it kept the piece a little more 'fun'.
You might have also realized that the last minute or so of the piece was also a little rushed and the samples could have indeed been much better but I just wanted to get this piece out quickly. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that I could have done with more polishing.
However, since this was received so well I think I will definitely look into completely overhauling this piece and redoing it from the the start with better samples, given that I find the time. I'm already working on something else and uni doesn't leave much time for myself. Thanks again for the review, I really do appreciate it.
Ahem.
What*** is love ;) Good work on the track, man. Just work on filling out all that empty space in the background and find yourself some better samples and you're set, bro!
-Zenon
thanks for the feedback, man! So where do i get nice samples? Can't seem to find any that doesn't cost a fortune.
It's pretty good.
Please make that bassline have less resonance on it or something though; it pinches through the mix with those high pitch clicks at the beginning of the sound, and it sounds like it's been EQed to bring out the 200-300 Hz in it. Maybe make it sound a little more solid, instead of just that 16th note kind of hum dealio in the background?
God damn, I'm having trouble explaining myself nowadays. Whatever, it's good, keep it up bro.
-Zenon
thx for the tip i will try that and thx for review :D
Very good.
Well, I thought it was gonna sound really cheesy with that bassline and such, but man, that little melody you wrote was actually pretty catchy. I liked the clap and the bass synth, but there wasn't enough substance to it. Since the kick and the bass synth made the whole song have some minor compression problems (just crank up the track and you'll hear them) I'd suggest re-EQing the bass; it's a little strong. Maybe layer on a more mid frequency bass synth for less of a thuddy sound?
Very good, like I said before, just work on your arrangement a little bit and some other minor things and you'll be wiping my face in your piss with your music in no time D:
Keep it easy bro!
-Zenon
Well you know what, I have another start of a goa track lying around, and that bass is pretty perfect imo ^^
I'll try to use it in this one as well, and upload that file for this one. I reckon it won't get to 3000 listens soon anyway, with that score :p
Thanks for enjoying it so much, and again, thanks for all this tips you gave me.
I'll keep it easy for sure, bro! ^^
Hmm.
Make this song at least 5 minutes long and add more to the percussive elements of the song; I can hear the drums because I'm paying attention, but I shouldn't have to. I should be able to tell that there's some hi hat work and everything without even really paying attention to the track, dude. I can't even hear that stuff, and that square lead was super loud D:
Good work though, I like the breakdowns and whatnot. The number one thing that bugged me about this track though was the length! I'm sure that since you make psy/goa and your name is Psycedelic, I assume that you listen to quite a bit of goa. You had an introduction, one build up, and one breakdown. Usually goa/psy has like... 5 or 10! This song had quite a bit of potential to be a great trip track, but the length kinda ruined it dude. Don't be afraid to make these tracks 5-10 minutes long, man :)
Good work, I may come back to your page in about a few months, because I'd love to do some zoomers to this if it was more refined :) Keep it easy;
-Zenon
Way awesome! You're right about one thing, and that I like Goa/Psy a lot :)
I know that they last like 5-10 minz, and that's what I'm aiming to do. But I'm kinda new to the whole "making music" business, so I have until now, kept it simple.
Yes, some elemements wasn't quite fit for the genre (Like the sharp, unpleasant square lead D:). I'm planning to do a whole lot more to the song, like getting rid of "You know what" :L. I will aim for more Psy-like melody's, a little bit more phasing parhaps..
Anyways, thanks a lot for the review :D You thaught me a great deal ^^
And here's something you should learn: NEVER BE AFRAID OF GIVING LOWER SCORE THAN 10! Lol xD
Love and waffles,
-Psyc
Sick.
Considering that I'm like a kite right now, I believe that there is nothing better sounding than this grimy ass reese synth man. Rock on man, this is deadly.
MOAR DISTORTION THOUGH LOL
