some obvious problems, but some obvious potential.

piano is hard to hear.

whatever the 3rd voice that comes in is cool.

overall sounds pretty quiet, but it's got good potential.

ending needs work.

~Qwerty

nice Riffs

I love the scratchy synth that does the weird modulation stuff. that is used to excellent effect.

I love the bit at :45. the organ is so awesome, and a great way to end it.

now THAT's an ending. pity it's so short, XD.

Is that Jack Nicholson?

intro: very good. a bit haunting.
The beat is good. I'm not so sure of the horns/trumpety chords... the chords are good, but the voice is a bit... shrill.

The quote is great, and the ensuing phone ring sound is wonderful, and applied very well.

the transition at 2:10 is incredibly sudden. something to smooth out or connect the two parts together would be good.

The outro is good, but I don't like how it just stops... maybe the sound of picking up a phone or something? Dunno.

nice length though. especially with that part between 1:20ish to 1:55, you can totally lose yourself in that half-minute.

Better!

Now that I'm apparently responsible for improvement, I feel compelled to be a very tough grader. :P

mastering is much better. There is still some stuff that sort of sounds... *like* clipping, but definitely not, and it's clearly just the way the voices are.

I'm not entirely sold on the ending, but endings *are* very hard. It also may be personal opinion, but I dislike abrupt endings that aren't properly built up to, or that just come out of nowhere. as for the whatever you did to get that effect, it's wonderful, I'd just change what comes before. Also theres more than a few seconds of silence, not sure if you necessarily want those there.

Personally, I usually hate short songs. Or at least, hate their shortness. I would never seriously submit something under 3 minutes. But again, that's just me.

~Qwerty

Fun

Doesn't seem to be much bass though... The piano feels kind of quiet, especially once the guitar comes in. The strings work perfectly, though.

I like the beats, but you might look into better voices for the drums.

I was going to say how good the ending was, but then it looped and I realized it was just the intro again :P But it works, I was afraid you were leaving it at one piano chord, but the other 3 really add to it.

When you've got the drums slowed down, and the guitar going, it's got a lot of power. All this piece needs is some technical refinement.

Yeah, I always need another set of ears so I can finalize a song really. Im glad you (re-decided?) you liked the ending even though its like the opening, but that was my intention really, ha ha.
Thanx a lot for the review, your honesty is much appreciated. I just might re-do this song.

Video-gamey

I quite like this. It's got some clipping issues, and could certainly use a bit.better mastering.

For the end, I wouldn't just let that one string chord fade out, I might let it do the progression on the strings, or at least resolve to another chord, otherwise it feels like the energy just disappears.

I like the beat, and the voices are wonderful, sliding in and out of each other. I definitely like the one that comes in at :41. Very video-gamey, especially the way it was used. This could easily be music to a level in a platformer, or environment music for a point and clicky adventure.

Thanks for the comment, yeah I should look for a good mastering tutorial.

It's taken me awhile to grasp the concept of electronic music, for what reason Idk.

Must be partially my classical piano background heh.

It's funny since only 2 days ago I discover automation clipping.

Any who I'll prolly try to build on it tomorrow, and see where I can get.

Thanks again.

I like where it's going.

The transition at :27 is really abrupt. it builds up nice, but the energy just... disappears, it doesn't really go anywhere.

Definitely interested in where this one will go. hopefully will hang out in some of the higher reigsters at a more intense part of the song.

4/5 for being a demo.

Good Intro, Good Outro

Middle doesn't excite me as much. Might just be the source material.

First minute is excellet at building things up. Love after that it seems to get a bit repetitive.

Nightwasp responds:

Thanks for the comments. Greatly appreciated!

Excellent instrumentation.

all the instruments, from the guitar, to the oragny/piano thing around 1:45, to the wondeful strings at the end.

the main theme is repeated a bit much, but it is pop, and it's nice hearing it in different instruments.

5/5

Nightwasp responds:

Thanks again for the review! Greatly appreciated.

Such an amazing juxtaposition

especially around the 2nd minute mark... you've got the DnB with the hard bass being kinda angry and metal, but at the same time you have the piano-sounding treble voice being all like... not happy, but perhaps longing yet optimistic?

You should do a song that has your usual strings stuff, dnb influences, ect, but also has an epic guitar solo :D

like, fuse your style with Trans-Siberian Orchestra type stuff, and you'd have the perfect blend of DnB/techno/electronica, Classical/romantic/orchestral, and Rock.

lol, then you'll have to start rapping over it :P

I make cool Music with FL8. sometimes it's more classical, sometimes it's more industrial. Go figure. No, actually, go listen to it and review it!
