  1. "Hello, i'd just like to say, "Christian is a badass"

    Odd way to start a song if you ask me. Can't complain over that though lol.

    The piano in the beginning could use some humanization and the bass at that point is overpowering it. Actually through the whole thing the piano is just being drowned out, bring it up more or lower everything else. I also think the piano could use with some more parts to it rather then just a solo line...this is because of not much going on (despite having the soundscape filled).

    The drums could go for some more variation and interest...they're rather cookie cutter and uninteresting.

    String break was a good change up.

    I don't quite understand the point of the clip still.

    So my biggest comment would just be, add more stuff overall to the whole piece.

    Cheers

    Thanks for the suggestions/comment; very helpful. Will be working on a reoccurring theme throughout the piece, and will be adding some variation to the drums. The song originally got started as a piano piece, but I'm still trying to figure out how I can incorporate it into the mix. As far as the whole "Christian Is a Badass" vocals goes...The song is intended to go on myspace once it is completed as my default song :D

    Thanks again,

  2. Hey there! Just took a listen to your song. Nice job on it in terms of arrangement. Here are some things I liked about it:

    The right hand piano section is nice.

    I really liked the violins doing the counter melody.

    Nice job in establishing a good tempo and theme throughout your song. (The name definitely matches the song)

    Here are some things I noticed that you could improve/change in your song:

    1. DYNAMICS!!!!!!!!! (Big one here.... Nearly every note was struck at the same velocity!!!!)

    While I did feel the the theme of the song, I did not feel compelled or moved by it at all. One way you can really improve this is through variation of volume. Overall I feel your piece could be a little bit quieter, and from there you could raise and lower the velocity of the notes at your own discretion.

    2. Rubatto!!!!!! (Speed up and slow down of the tempo)

    This is another big one. You can put more emotion into your songs by putting you music into "Phrases" and speeding and slowing the tempo down at your discretion. It might seem a little unnatural at first but as you progress in composing your instinct will prove to be best.

    But overall not bad at all. Keep it up and don't get lazy! Always strive for the best. I look forward to hearing your updates in the future.
