5/5 song plays.

DiroNomer responds:

Thank you.

[{another chance}]

I feel like you didn't have a real direction with this song. The mixing could use some work as well. I give my own review a 2/10

DESHIEL responds:

That's true, this project started because I opened up the piano roll on a whim, without a plan. :)

[Moment of Star Wars]

LazyBucks responds:

Thank ya. Might run over it again and I'll update the track if I change anything major :)

[WhatHaveWeGot [Box-Killa]]

Lets press play and see what happens.

Right away I'm loving this, the atmosphere your creating is just stellar. Really cool bass sound you made there. Nice little beat, I like how tight and clean it sounds, although I would have added a subtle short reverb just to give it a tiny bit of real space. Maybe pan the hats slightly too, just to give it a wider stereo image. I love that you made that snare kit fade into the pad. I always love to hear acid in any track. Perfect use of key changing. I'm loving these pads too. I'm about two minutes in and man, good work. Sadly you never did drop into a melody, that's really disappointing.

At forty-four seconds in you drop this really interesting effect that just doesn't hit as hard as if you paned it. Yeah, you got the sound design thing down but now I think you need to work on your stereo image. Don't be afraid of panning, honestly the only thing that should really be dead centre is your kick and your bass. This song could have been at least five minutes long in my opinion. Its missing a nice smooth lead and a real outro. For this I can only give it a 4, witch makes me sad because I was prepared right from the beginning to give you a solid 5.

Thanks for the review! I read it :D

[**!Star-Ibra-Road!**]

Alright, lets press play and see what happens.

Oooh, that glass is nice. If this was prepared as a loop I think it would have worked a lot better. Honestly all you really need is the first 12 seconds of this track. I really enjoy the trumpet synth, its nice and warm.

Things to improve on~

I would brighten up the bells, a nice little bump on the eq at 8khtz and a slight high shelf at 12khtz. I would reduce the reverb on the kick because its kind of adding a layer of mud on the track. I would also bring up the drum sounds because I feel like there just too far behind everything else. Some compression on the snare could be nice too.

Honestly because this song is so short I cant really say much on it. Next time your working with so little source material try to expand on the song. You can do this by drifting away from the main melody and then coming back to the main theme as a chorus. I hope this helps you in your adventures with music.
