mega work man!
awesome remix. I'm digging the leads in this one. Gotta love the transitions. I dug it how you gave us a taste of the original electronic version at the start, I reckon at the end it might be cool to chuck that over the top too I reckon.
hey, this brings back some happy memories. Thanks dude!
Its good to see someone so obsessed with Megaman :)
I assume you are obsessed with Megaman too ey? ;)
I'm obsessed by it for a looong time. I really never thought of actually playing the music of the games myself so it's awesome³. :)
Glad you enjoyed this track as much as I and Metalcan. :)
thats the stuff
Man, thats some delicious hard riffage. I'm not the biggest metal head in the world but listening to this makes me wish I had a furious guitar of extreme sonic violence myself!
Heaps of variety and righteous riffs.
Hmm..I wonder if the drums are sequenced or a live recording. They're tight as hell.
I especially like the ascending sequence with the lead guitar. Gnarly dude!
Sweeet.
The drums are programmed, yes! Just some good samples. I'm glad for that.
Gnarly review, thanks a bunch! \m/
im rocking out!
Fun is something that makes the world go round.
Nice goofy melody, doubled up nicely by the bass part.
Ahhh, very nice, just what I needed after a hellish day.
The electronic bleeps you bring in keep me on my toes, nice syncopated feel.
Well, good to hear the inner Wintang child break out! ;)
Thank you!
Melody is not mine, mind, it is the well-known Chocobo theme from the Final Fantasy series. Bassline is all mine though.
Glad to hear someone likes the bleeps, everyone was dissin' them (fo' real, dawg) so far...
grand
There are some mightily haunting chords in there, there's something magical about the orchestra. Maybe it's never been improved on really.
Hmm..a bit of a tangent with the pizzicato. The phrasing is very well done and sounds true to life. I've always wondered if thats achieved with an expression pedal or sustain pedal, some kind of pedal? :) ahh, I'm clueless...
An enigmatic conclusion, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. Well done, really well done.
Thanks for the nice review!
The way this works: I wrote out the complete sheet music, including dynamics, slurs and whatnot, in NoteworthyComposer, and exported it as a MIDI-file. All the phrasings and dynamics stay intact that way. Then I imported into Cubase, loaded Edirol Orchestral VST and assigned the samples to the channels. That resulted in the version below.
For this version, I sent the MIDI to Simon-F who did pretty much the same thing, except with Garritan Personal Orchestra - a better VST, Q.E.D. :)
nice one
cool intro, and I'm digging the bass line. Really dark and menacing, just the way I like it.
the square sounds a bit happy in comparison, how about a minor key? Drum and bass is meant to be mentally disturbed man! :0
Sweet filtering on the bass, love a good shaker bass.
Nice one man, the bassline and the melody are kind of opposed to each other in tone though. Its a nice idea, but you probably want to make them both evil in my opinion.
Nice mix!
cool drumming
Man, thats some damn awesome drum work. The stabs are cool, the only thing that bugs me a bit is how you double time the snare in the last half, it kind of takes away from the flow in my opinion. That drumloop is well worth using for a whole track!
keep working
Ok, first thing you want to do is get some basic patterns going, like a 4 beat per bar kick drum to start off. Its hard to put a bass or a synth part down without a beat. Get the kick going, your clap is sounding fine, throw in some hats..nothing fancy, maybe just on the offbeat, or alternatively 8 times per bar.
And then when you have a rhythm you can put down cool parts on top. Its hard to do anything without it though. Look at the demo songs for some ideas!
Or use some drumloops in Fruityloops. Shortcut!
That sounds to hard.
im happy
Right on man..music doesn't have to be dark and evil. I'm digging the positive vibes floating around this song.
The melody is just as cheesy as hell, but its cool! Cool synth sound. Nice doubling up of the bass. The rhythm works well, and the fx you use give a good lead in to the new section.
Its simple but it works, there's not much to comment on. But if you wanted to, you could crank it up to like 160-180 bpm and make some insane happy hardcore.
lol yeah i should have made it faster but i totally forgot too before i exported it...
thanks again for the very well written intellegent review!!! =D
hard bass all the way
Cool man, you're pulling out some rad tricks here. The time bending really worked great, and I love some of those snare stutters.
Nice filtering on the drums when the second part starts. Gnarly leads man, you've made a really phat, powerful sound layering up the synths like that. Really good!
Look forward to hearing more!
Nice vocoder line too...couldnt quite make it out! Spill the beans?
Is it the title of the track + something else?
The only complaint I have is that I recognise the drum loop. Maybe drop your own phat kick on top, could work?
Anyway, once again..a fine job!
Yes it is the drum loop but i sliced it to make my own beat... so it's not the preset drum loop...
The Robot guy says: Electrofying Bass Sequence Engaged
then he says in the middle: Bass
then in the end: sequence Complete
thansk so much for your awsome intelegent review!!!! =D much apreciated!!!
flavor
Ok, I'm digging parts of this song. For example, when the plucked melody relaxes a little bit and plays some nice phrases. I'm really not a fan of when it plays continuously. Good chunky bass and there's some groovy fx in there, nice, you brought in a synth flute or something. Hmmm..I'm sure there's a more original plucked sound you can use!
Some of the percussion was a little bit random. Overall, its a cool tune! Just go easy on the plucks. Just the synth flute playing alone for a bit would sound cool I reckon.
Keep going! ;)
The synth flute is actually the reverb fantasy preset on the Echoz Quad Osc, you might check it out if you like it, there is a link in my sig.
In retrospect, I see what you mean with the pluck sound. I might see if there is something I can plug in there, I've got an old Plucked preset that would sound a lot smoother.
As for the random percussion, that was the kind of effect I was going for, but a little panning would probably make it a lot better.
Thanks for the review! I'll try to go and check out more of your stuff later.
