aaaah
very fat and bassy but in a really tight and well managed way... you mixed these with skullcandies and yet it sounds really refined in my sennheisers AND my grados which is simply a testament to your mixing and sound design skill.
would love to hear a longer, finished version of this with more development. loving the spooky lamentations coming out of those chords so far! hope you get power back on again ASAP, bud.
POWER IS BACK. MUST WORK FAST! Also, I envy your sennheissers >:C
cool
you need a pop filter though!
=( I do know what you're talking about! I'm pretty bad at mixing, really XD And I was really dumbfounded as to why there was popping since the audio signal never went above 0db, and none of the tracks went above 4 db. I might try to fix it again some other time! Thanks a bunch for the feedback!!! I really appreciate it! =D
modest sonuvabitch!
the reverb is a bit much but otherwise this is really nice lush house stuff but it's also too freakin short AUGH. if you took the next ten days to flesh this out you'd have a really good shot at advancing!
I like the reverb, it has a nice effect, besides, the dryness without it is painful..
I'll take the next few days for some more mixing/mastering though, thanks for the review :)
sick
just sick. love the phasing on the backbeat. i think maybe some more raw electro samples like that 707 hat would be welcome additions but other than that i got nothing!
wow, i think this is the first time I've snagged a ten from you :p
yesssssss
pleaaaase finish this, it has such fantastic atmosphere and attitude. have you ever heard of flex blur? reminded me of his stuff but in its own unique way.
there are a few parts after 1:30 where the synths started stepping on the drums, volume-wise. i still loved this and want more more more more more!
:D
Positive reviews like these make me feel so damn good, and thanks for some actual constructive criticism - a rarity on the web as people tend to be too afraid of offending others.
And that flex blur sound was just a huge coincidence. This was mostly inspired by experimentation alone for hours and hours on end until a cool sound was achieved.
Edit: - yeah, more than one person already requested I finish it, so I think I will now. It's just lots of work without dblue glitch or VSTs!
niiice
feels like i'm playing shogun total war or something. liked the use of 13/8 at the end :)
Thanks!
And nice, 13 eighth notes, you figured it out! You should get a medal of some sort =]

Okay maybe not quite, but I definitely got glimpses of Fates Warning while listening to this. Among other things. Very cool!
Haha Fates Warning? Not sure about that, but it definitely got some Dream Theater influences, which I'm a huge fan of ;)
aaaaaaaa so cute
I used to make cute upbeat IDM like this all the time a couple years ago and listening to this makes me want to start doing it again.
the drums are my favourite thing about this... they have this mathematical feel but they don't sound formulaic or randomized. actually they remind me a lot of tidy kid.
i didn't really like the rest of the instrumentation, mainly the piano which i feel is a bit too full to be carrying such a fragile and delicate sounding melody but the strings are really lush and carry the mood fantastically. good luck in the NAC broski!
thanks sir.
whooooo
cooool, it's kinda like schneider tm meets kwwrr! aaaargh i kinda hate the dry, dissonant dance piano at first but it grows on me a little. wish it could be a little lower in volume, still. maybe if it wasn't a piano and like some weird legato synth... either way there's merit in the composition but the cheesy piano does grate a little, especially against the smoothness of everything else.
glitchey percussion is great, got some dave brubeck wacky time signatures there. did you get the sounds yourself (e.g. via opening random file types as raw audio data) or are they from a sample set? i like the big rumble-y kick/bass sound. i think the hissing snare sound has some dc offset (not uncommon with glitch sounds) so if you have a means of centering it that'd probably be a wise thing to do to make the listen more comfortable for headphone users.
i know what you mean with the piano. i was gonna upload a version without it but... i dunno? also, i haven't had reliable cans in a few years. every time i put some on im horrified by my music :p
as for the drums, they're just out of the reason factory sound bank with a few minor edits. i usually slice, layer, compress, side chain, and all that jazz but for idm i usually just make my loops with a few nice kit samples. nothing impressive. i've used an old school imac app to grab raw data and turn it into sounds before so I know what you mean, but that wasn't the case here. know of any modern apps that can do that?
probably sounded like a good idea at the time
but the lack of thought kinda shows haha
at least it's all in key though! maybe scoop some of the midrange out of the instrument, give it a more ethereal quality? i dunno.
it sounded like a horrible idea at the time. I did this all in one shot with a computer keyboard. it was just for the fun of it. i expect a 1 lol XD ty for the review.
used to put a lot of music on here and then i stopped but maybe i will start doing that again one day hehe
