memories!

i still have that giant gameboy! no colours! and its huge.
still packed with a super mario catridge
with the exact same music ( only not.. techno'ish or whatever)
i liked it however. the kick and overall beat might be a bit too hard.
and i dont like some panning you got there.
also the bass seems sometimes a bit weird. you can crank it up ( and i dont believe its the origenal bass )
keep it up!

newskies responds:

it's not quite the original... the gameboy is so huge you can hide under =)

i want a car too!

its a great song.
i do have some complains tough
the intro is kinda slow!
and at most parts it lacks (deep) bass. for example in the kick and that padlike bass could use some more bass too.
i like the overal fade-in-out effect in that synth. might be simple but it works well.
then everything fades out and something new is introduced. ( 2.56 )
thats a really nice change that most songs dont have and eventually get boring.
it could some more fullness to it, but thats just my opnnion.
and, congrats at best of the week !

ps. even if i didnt say much positive things it doesnt mean your song doesnt have any! why els would i rate it 10? just trying to help ;)
and! i want a car too! damnit!

Hey thanks! Glad you enjoy my song so much. If you want a brand new car, then you'll have to fight to the death for it. >:(

sweet job.

really nice song. but.. it kinda.. resembles something scary or something
what where you trying to accomplish? cause i think you succeeded.
i believe that was a starcraft vox?
anyways. i think the intro is too long. but its great. so i dont know whether you should shorten it because its too long or just leave it as it is because its awesome. ( probably you choose the second. its easier anyways :D )
the kick could be a bit better. some heavy distort on the snare.
but! that BASS is FANTASTIC i luv it.
and since i reviewed it in chronically way the outro kinda sucked. i just dont like that ' only beat with an fade out' effect.
but 8/10 from me. barerely made it to a 9... it was close

Nav responds:

Thanks man! Yep, that's SC!

The kick has some sub, so that might be an issue. Mmhm, snare is distorted. Yeah, the outro sucks, but I was getting tired of working with the song.

Thanks for reviewing! :D

hmm...

i have to agree with some persons below me.
first videogamer said it was just MIDI
well, it almost is. didnt you just import it and copy paste the notes into synthes?
thats probably the way he mented.
and i also have to agree on masterchief
its too loud! try following some tuts about Eqing/mastering it might help getting lots more of good sounds out of Fl ;) maybe download other plugins that might help. ( do i hear sytrus or what? :S )
goodluck on further producitons!

Sonic-Freak responds:

yeah, I'm working on it, learned a many things in the past two months :)
thank you for your productive review, I'll send you a message when something new is online

Totally amazing awe dropping superlicious track

-awesome
-hardtrance!
-great intro
-maybe too long?
-maybe its just too very very long
-i dont know whos DJ space raven but i think i understand what you tryd to make
-uplifting hardtrance is awesome
-bass sucks could be better
-kick+snare= no win. not in a song like this. this could be easily just trance with a slight hardtrance feeling to it wihtout that kick and it might sound better
- lots of reverb YEAH
-funny melody ( in a good way )
-really trancy with that enormous bleepy rif with loads of delay ( common trick no offence )
-major lovely bridge
- is that a chorus on the kick at the bridge? hmm.. nice.... maybe i should try to let go of the free filter :D
- its enjoyable but it might be a bit better of you made it more commercially. try some sort of NG-edit that some people do. a bit shorter instead of a effing vinyl trance version
-keep up the good work. love this style.
- REVERB! :D

Karco responds:

- :D
- :D :D
- Thanks. :P
- Might be a taste thing, there are plenty of trance songs as long as, or longer than, this one.
- See last response.
- Just look him up. ;)
- Of course! ;D
- Huh, you're the first person to say that, and you didn't explain yourself... how does it suck? :I
- It might be a taste thing. Personally I think it sounds great (why else would it be in there? ;D) and so far you're only the second person to have complained.
- YEAH. :D
- Which one?
- I know it's common, but it's still awesome. :P
- Glad you think so. :D
- It's a phaser. Yeah, personally I use the Fruity Filter, rather than the Filter or the Fast LP.
- Interesting idea, but I have tons of other stuff to do. I might do it for a CD I'm planning to give out as a promotional thing in a month or two...
- Thanks, glad you like it! :D
- REVERB! :D

BOOM lightning strikes again! or it was inspiratin

great song.
maybe a bit too soft for me because.. well... its ambient. ( my comment owns )
i was really hoping there would be some kick ass beat involved. but there isnt any.
WHY!!! there only some lame percussions that i dont even know.
even in doing so, i think it did the trick. the calmy 'adventure' into... something.
something far beyond understanding. beyond time and space ( so make a trippy goa track next! ) There could be some adding of intruments and all that to make it more exciting. it may not feel like its missing something but still it can do better.
karco i expected better from you xP
oke summing it up real fast
-pads + piano = win. +guitar = 1337
-drums???
-longer with maybe more instruments?
-more orchestral things maybe? violions for pad like things?
-keep it up. let inspiration strike tho who got to much time on their hands

-firebolt-

Karco responds:

It was definitely inspiration. ;D

A beat would have done this song no good, my best ambience has little or no drums. Mostly because I still have no good drums to use. XD And if you don't know the drums that I used, then it's a good thing, right? I've got an original sound and everything, rather than something you've heard before.

The adventure feel was definitely an aim of mine, and as for the "something," what do YOU think you're adventuring into?

Trippy goa track. XD I've got tons of stuff on my hands, though I COULD turn one into goa... we'll see. ;)

You expected BETTER? :O This is my best ambient by far! It'll be hard to satisfy you with ambience, then, but I'll do it. >:)

Piano and guitar definitely ARE awesome! ;D I don't think I want to extend this song, last time I tried doing that to an ambient song (see After the Nova, submitted in February/March of last year), it ended up making it a lot more boring. And anyway, like I said in the description, I like my ambient songs short with a cliffhanger ending, it makes them addicting that way. ;D I might consider orchestral elements for my next ambient song, whenever that happens.

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it! :D

nice man happy

great song. it has a very happen feeling to it.
anyways about i wanted to comment some things about your singing
1. is it really your singin? damn your brave.
2. watch out with that delay and reverb. if you hit those S's and T's you might reaching out to some high freqs who are slightly anoyying. try to send the reverb and delay to a sender and do a EQ on the sender. so it lowers the freqs not on the origenal voice ;) only on the delay ect.
3. sometimes i couldnt hear exactly what you where saying but i think that doesnt matter to much
anyways, great mix . keep it up i like where your going!

Psybot responds:

thx, i really like this review. helpful indeed.

and yes, it is me singing

Great review.

[\Psybot/]

awesomness truly is unmeasureable

the whole song totally kicks ass
love the part with the bridge. with those vocals to the chorus
pure awesomness some epic hardstyle going on here!
maybe you could tweak the bass and kick a bit more.
nonetheless a good song.
and i think you got a zero bomber 'bombin' on your song man
pls check out my stuf ;)

Pyroific responds:

Hehe, why do you say its epic hardstyle when it clearly says its UK Hardcore in the description? ;) and i know, i hate zero voters :(

yay reviewy!

since you complained with body language of the long review ( somehow, dont ask )
heres short positive 'n' negative
P-P-P-ppppoooositive!
-piano
-uplifting
-arp!
-nice epic feeling
Teh N3g@t!ve
-drums ( omg how did you managed to mess that up so badly )
- another offbeat bass! ( dunno if this good or bad.. ill leave it at bad :D just to annoy you )
- short.... ( explains itself. )
-uuh.. yeah...
- meh.

Karco responds:

I complained with body language... over the internet. I'm confused and have three minutes to finish this response. D:

Y-y-y-y-y-y-essss! :D
-Yep. ;D
-Yep. ;D
-Of course! :D
-Glad ou think so!
|\|0! D:
-How so?
-It wasn't offbeat...
-The file corrupted before I could finish the song. D:

Hmm, so mixed feelings on this one? Either way, thanks for the review! :D

yay review

considering i alrdy listhened the rush and that other one. ( whatever that might be)
i think based upon that, this one is bad... i dont like the whole 3/4 you got going or whatever you were trying to accomplish. and those FL keys wont do any justice on piano! the bass might be a bit to bumpy. ( still an offbeat bass! lol ) drum .. wel.. its like, you need a circle for good drums, and you got a sqaure with some rounded edges. you could just strip those drums and remake them. it could make the song so much better. bass is maybe to high, so.. it lacks bass. and if bass lacks bass the bass looses its bassyness of bass so its not bassy bass. ( wait wha? ) lowering an octave might work. or just a bass which isnt just a weird boring sine bass. it could use some more structure then that. also the fx are just plain dumb. no real changes makes it boring. this isnt your best work but i keep an eye on you!
** ps. is that some sidechaining ? <3<3 ''

Karco responds:

Augh, you're reviewing all of my songs! D:

This isn't one of my better songs, mostly because it was rushed, but you can read the other responses for what I said about that. I thought the 3/4 idea was pretty good, it might be a taste thing... and I didn't use FL Keys, I used Nexus! >:(

Yeah, another offbeat bass. D:

Hmm, the drums must be a serious problem if so many people are complaining about them! D: Remaking the drums actually sounds like a really good idea, I should give that a shot with some other WIPs that refuse to go anywhere. :\

I had the bass lack influence in the low range to achieve a specific atmosphere, and leave room for the kick.

I wouldn't call the FX dumb, personally I liked the reverse crash idea... but it is lacking FX-wise too, I guess.

I guess you didn't like this one as much, but thanks anyway for the review. :) And yes, it's sidechaining! ;D

Enjoy my music :D
