Uhh..
Well, this sounds like you used two samples:
-Some f'ed up computer-glitch sound effect
-a monolead rhythm
I can't say you gave this much effort. It's pretty much a novelty.
Put some hard work into your next, so I can see what you're really capable of. I know you're better than this.
Kind of unsuitable for a battle...
This seems a little empty--you need some percussion. I mean, if this is going to be a battle theme, it's got to have a lot of impact and power. The "verse" that's in-between everything else with the harp (i think)--i think it's the only part without the loud, high strings--sounds great as a side-break from the chorus--but you need to really work on your instrument choice and percussion. Also, add some bass. Maybe even double up the melody with another instrument than those painfully loud strings.
You clearly have potential, you just need to fix some things before you can let it fly. You have the sense for how a battle theme should go, you just didn't apply it so well here. This reminds me of an Eye of the Tiger emotion. Just follow them guidelines i gave yeh. Look forward to your next submission
I gave yeh a 3, and i expect better next time from j00!
-dinero !i!i!
But.... I like pain O.O lol, anyway, thanks for the review.
Great composition!
This really saddens me--this song is written very nicely, though it's obvious you used MIDI inputs to write it. You should do yourself a favor and go find some free soundfonts on the internet to make your piece sound real. Your drums are really lacking volume and richness with this mix.
Again, your composition is wonderful, you just need to get some more realistic sounds. If you want, I'll put some great soundfonts to use with this and give it back to you for a re-submission, because I think this has great potential to be used in a flash submission--without a doubt.
My email's "snazzypadgett@gmail.com" if you're interested
Yeah, I used midi inputs---I can't really play guitar. Unfortunately. And yes, I've gone through all kinds of heck to try and find a guitar soundfont that's half-way decent...the drums though, are the wonderful ns_kit7...so, maybe they're just too soft? Thanks, though. my email's tyer222@hotmail.com if you want to send me the song/soundfonts --- I could use them.
Great job!
This is great! Is it live?
-Drums have a really nice funk loop, with that hi hat open/shut/open/shut 8th rock beat :D
-Wah wah guitar sounds great, you understand well that LESS is MORE sometimes
-Organ sounds cool, too. It's mixed really well into everything else.
I CAN'T BELEIVE it cuts off that shortly. (I'm assuming this isn't a loop, because it doesnt loop well at all, the beginning and end) Dude, at least END it...This would make a fantastic piece for someone to use in their flash if it actually ended. Even if it just comes to a halt--it'd be a cool cinematic effect anyway.
Keep it up!
Ah, thanks, I will indeed post the fished the version of it soon.
Dude...
Terrible mic-recording...I reccomend getting a vocal mic or something. Your internal mic won't do for anything decent.
I like the background of the song...and your voice seems cool, but like I said...needs some mixing and better quality (vocals mainly)
Yeah, I just got the mic Im using. Its a vocal mic, but I guess I need a better one, or better handlin skills. 'Lean To The Side's vocals came out alot better than this one did. But again I'm barely coming up, I gotta learn as I go. Good lookin' out.
Err...
This is midi...that's really too bad. If you can't play it, i'd reccomend you apply a soundfont to your MIDI so it sounds real. Also, this is simply a midi rip from the game. It's nothing new or original, there's been hundreds of these exact same renditions already. I still have doubts this is originally yours.
I'm not gonna type another rebuttal to one of these.
