[LY] Afternoon Blazing [D]

"groovy"

date: October 17, 2009

Groovy and smooth.
Still, lack of a real instrument soloing over and as construction is strange how in the middle (where should be the peak) the energy goes sort of...off.

The jazzman himself, I'm honoured, hehe. ;)

The middle is the place where I want a nice saxophone melody kicking in. I have yet to find a nice saxophone vst, so I've left that spot empty for now. I do see where you are coming from.

Appreciate the review!

Lonely City Night (Walking)

"Simple"

date: October 11, 2009

That's right, simple and effective.
That could create great atmosphere in a Flash movie or game.

Sea of Tuscany

"Awesome"

submission: Sea of Tuscany
date: October 11, 2009

Awesome, as usual.
Great to see that "Tuscany" became a series. Don't stop here, make more of those.
5/5, 10/10

As a suggestion from me, don't fade out the ending, make it loop, after all, to me seems like the same tonality.

Roll-N

"nice one"

submission: Roll-N
date: July 15, 2009

Simple = Win
Simple harmony over a catchy groove.
The bass line reminds me of squarepusher (and that's a compliment). A nice touch to the track is Rhodes.
10/10, 5/5 fav'ed

New Divide (Setu Cover)

"nice"

date: July 10, 2009

A Setu Firestorm track = 10*
Synth guitars -1 = 9*
Voice (quite unusual for NG tracks, isn't it?) +11 = 20*
Too bad that rating system is only 'till 10*

Nice attention to the details. Voice could be more "gritty" as singing or put through a tube simulator and cranked up a bit.
You could ask someone to record some real guitars , at least for the solos, heck, I could do it.
Anyway, a nice track.
Congrats !

Love Rocket

"too bad that..."

submission: Love Rocket
date: July 8, 2009

Good performance, good guitar sound too bad that the recording/ mixing is not at the level of the music :(
There is clipping, BAD clipping, there is lack of stereo field in voices and the solo guitar smash everything else down... other way, could have been one of my favorites.

Agnus Dei - Mass in Bm

"nice"

date: July 8, 2009

Quite good performance, a bit plucky sound but other way, quite good recording too.
It's not a Decca Classic recording but good enough to make a great soundtrack to any Flash movie of game.

Author's Response:

Thanks bro! And you are right about the plucky sound...I just couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

Remember the Killings Finished

"nice"

date: July 2, 2009

All the good things are obvious.
The voice remind also to me of Metallica, the choice of effects is good too.
Composition is good, all the parts blend together very well.
As for mixing, voice should stand out a bit more, I would push it at least 3 db more.
As I see vocal music, voice is the most important element.

Also from guitars I would eq off some of the low frequencies so the bass line stand out more.

July 2, 2009

Author's Response:

Thanks man. I agree with you on all points. However, I personally didn't like the vocals much louder. But the guitars, I have been hemming and hawing over...so this helps a great deal. :D Thanks my dude. (Plus my bass playing was a bit shitty, so I kinda buried it in the mix) :D

Sorrow Knows Many Names

"pretty ok"

date: June 27, 2009

Not a bad start for composing.
At 1:45 is totally "My Heart Will Go On" from Titanic :)), like for real, just listen.
Anyway, here are some tips:
1-Get a decent recording/ editing program. Audacity is free and good enough.
2-There is a tool in almost all editing programs named "noise reduction", learn to use it properly and you'll get rid of the white noise in no time ;)
3-There is an option in almost all programs to normalize the tracks, this way you'll get enough volume without distorting/ clipping.
4-If you still don't have enough volume, learn how to use compression (there is a thread in the Audio Forum).
5-For achieving a "larger" sound you can try to use some reverb (not too much). This way the sound will appear as from a concert hall, not a small room.

Hope this is helpfull.
For more tips you can always ask in the Audio Forum.

Lamps?

"not bad"

submission: Lamps?
date: May 12, 2009

Some of the parts sounds quite nice, the delay is doing a good job there.
The thing to criticize about is that the parts don't have too much in common, seems to be "forced" somehow.
Anyway, sounds better that the score that got...
