[*HSLW* [ZeRo BaSs]]

video game eh?

doesnt clash at any one place, infact tis a song that is very pleasurable to listen to. the chicks voice right at the forth beat works really well as a link especially witht the chord progresion. really well done!! great job!! :)

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

THX!

fuknah monkah

cough*downsyde*cough. funkah!! sweet flute sample..oh and sax, well done not keeping the volumes at the original levels like so many do. could have used a bass instrument that bounces off the beat like the flute does, just to funk it up real nice. the drums toward the end could use a bit of volume turndownage. other than that the whole antique record player effect compliments the flute, u know the scratchy ness of the flute sample. only bit i didnt really like was the tempo change at the first change of the song. the first bit and the last bit were great though. :) keep it real

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

angryhippos i dunno why u seems to be familiar....bah nevermind ^^

Thx for your feedback i'm glad u got the "antique record player effect" ^_^

note by note

k.... dont like the violin thing at the start. still goin.... ugh turn down the sytrus instruments......... sounds a bit tangly there... damn u volume... hey now ur talkin.. i like the horn sounding part the insrtument wen the drums change...this is heaps better.... yeh i really like this, maybe have an underlying bass instrument.... that riff with the breathy sample is good, did u make it or is it a riff under simsynth? works well in the song. volume ishues again, kinda cancels out the bbass instruments. sorry bout the overcriticality of my review, im not tryin to diss ur stuff im just suggesting wat u could work on. i do like this song a whole lot it just needs some minor tweaking. :)

ehhhROFLCOPTER responds:

heh aite man. thanks. BUT i must add, this, as one of my first songs ever, had NO premade simsynth and i didnt even realize there was a whole mess of genarators till i "discovered " them when i was exploring the program. no help manual for charvin =D.

[${ the Firebird }$]

woop

i like ur classical stuff, ur really good at redoing classical stuff or creating ur own. my only whinge is ur use of volume. some instruments completly drown out other instruments. and if u wanna stop cymbols in mid crash u gotta bring up the channel settings, smp, then ever so slightly raise the nob that says crf in the precomputed effects. then highlight the button under loop that says use loop points (if it doesnt already highlight). after that its a matter of entering the right length note in the piano roll dealy. u can do that with all instruments exept sytrus', simsynths and wasps...more or less any instrument that brings up a different mix board wen u click on it ( i havent worked out how i can edit that stuff in other instruments yet ;o;) yeh anyways keep it up and dont upgrade to fl 5.

ehhhROFLCOPTER responds:

upgrade? im using fl 5 man.

[$[ !nT3nc3 ]$]

coke fiend

that was well tripped out. sounds like a fl4 creation to me. i must say that on coke that is an insane song, it really tears u appart. has one exellent drum beat that is very similar to that nine inch nails song, the perfect drug. varied instruments but lots of samples to. arent sytrus instruments great. do u have em registered? i couldnt be fukd payin the extra money. did u use achiopterix or watever its called? and do i detect a tempo variation in there or am i just nuts? only downside i must say is the overall volume. turn that down cause it really hurts speakers. anyways other than that, thx for the reviews and keep it real.

ehhhROFLCOPTER responds:

HAh. yes your nuts. no tempo change. thanks i used fl5 demo, i got the full recently. my songs wit h $[ are old ones i submitted for more publicity .

[Calm Night]

noice!

neato bandito. i agree with 'theblackhawk' about the flanger snare near the intro and the bells could if not be and octave up, possibly alternate from being one up to back again. i dunno im talkin crap. oh and maybe have that euro trance lead watever thing in the background raise up during the main part, then back off in volume (only slightly higher than it already does.

anyways, i mostly use fl 4 (5 is painful) and im not really familiar with any other program. i know reason is pretty neato and i dont need another person tellin me to get it, im just saying that i dont recognise alot of instruments from other programs.

anyways, i dont ask that u review my stuff cause its not that good, but im kinda new to this site and how it all works so yeah watever.

f2x1 responds:

Well at first thanX for a review ,but still i suggest you to use FL 5 (for me FL 4 is a pain in the neck!)
I realy cant beleave i am the first on NG , i have only been a week here!

[March of Testament]

time to save hyrule!!

very snes! sorry if i didnt get the exact reference if its a real game song or not, as an original melody its very cool. definatly sounds like a zelda or final fantasy song. the chord progression suits the melody perfectly especially the chord that drops down an octave on the 4th bar. also the background instruments dont overpower the melody.

unfortunatly theres a bit of distortion in the background attached to that instrument that starts the song , the d, d d d, d, d d d, etc.
i just think the one difference i would make is that one of the bass instruments backing up the chord progresiion could be down an octave. im not sure wat instrument its called cause im not really familiar at all with reason, but it starts with the drums.

uhh yeah other than that it all works well.

tedJohnston responds:

hey, thanks for the review! yes, this song is an original melody hahaha. (although, it does sound very Terminator...which i realized AFTER making it and was completely unintentional hahaha).

the distortion you're hearing is actually the GB drums hahaha...i put it in there to give it a bit of "fuzz"...i guess it was too much, huh?

i'm glad you like the melodic progression of the song and such. i had lots of fun making this song and i'm glad you enjoyed it!

thanks for the review! cheers an g'day.

[Trance Toxicity]

neato bandito

thats a really well done song, i gave u 5 for originallity because i thought it was supposed to be toxicity by system, it doesnt really sound like it by the way. on the other hand if it was just a conincidence then sorry cause musically its a really well produced song. nice control of volume and structure. top shelf

LoneHunter-FsZ responds:

Actually, the song name is just picked from randomly generated list :D (Beliewe me, I HATE naming songs.)

[Mog Sucks Again]

quality quality!!

thats a well sweet song u got there. the drums are very tang indeed. i must say one of the riffs in there was very ff esq. nice use of volume and balancing melodys with pace. top draw.

PeachClawk responds:

Thanks for the review, Im glad you thought it was good. The Drum loop I got from a friend its very nice. Thanks again for the review, Look for more of my new stuff very soon.. ;)
