  1. I am Legion
  2. like butta, I tell you
  3. Well, as far as traveling with friends goes (DQ2 #10), that's the song that I made for this project. I have no idea where Rexy is, but it'd be nice to hear something (anything)
  4. hey man! long time no see this is pretty funky, I like it As for the intro, I think you should definitely mix things up there, put in some pads and build that intro dynamically... crescendo, decrescendo for some effect. The bass is great here, the drums are pretty okay, just play around with those beats some more, experiment. Overall, I think your drums need just a little more care... The beat is nice, the samples are decent, but maybe you could layer them with more samples later. Really just go to town here! The vibe solos are okay, but I think you can do better, like add some little nuances here and there. Hell, throw in some other instruments behind them, as in, try to put something in there that contrasts and therefore throws focus onto your vibes (more than you've already got, because you have plenty of room to work with) I like the background delay/ tinkly vibe behind things later on, good touch... Your rhodes in there is nice too...But I think it could do with it's own solo along with those vibes... counter melody that bitch...harmonize, anything. I don't like that synth too much that's in the upper right... It's just too plain... maybe do some pitch bends, gated effects, etc.... Or just keep that synth and add another synth to emphasize it. Overall, very nice and groovy, I like. It's a great start. Keep working on it!
  5. It's OFFICIAL!
  6. I'm actually the biggest influence, my musical style is like butta
  7. This in itself, is enough for me to say CONGRATS CHz I AM GLAD YOU ARE ON THE PANEL AND WONGLOSS AIN'T NO MO
  8. Okay first, I like your drumwork. Very cool dude. It's very nicely varied. The overall sound of it is nice and crisp. Just work on varying it up a little more, give it a little more detail work. I'd also suggest maybe having some more hybridish hits later in the song, really punchy, to emphasize the beat you already have going through most of the song (really sock us in the face with it) Pump up your bass! I think you would do to layer it or something later on, to add more emphasis to later sections... Your song needs to feel fuller. You need to somehow bring out the lower and lower mid ranges out a little more without muddying everything up... I feel there needs to be a little more separation between ranges. Song has great atmosphere though... So work on that, although, atm, your song kind of sounds like you have a compressor on the master channel or something... Work on a fuller sound. A suggestion: some of your string sections could have little solos going on with solo instruments (soloing)... I'd suggest maybe a really cool violin playing some er... russianesque things up and down the scale (you know, like something from Schindler's list) I feel that'd fit in really well at like 2:04 ish... As you have nice drums going on... But nothing else. (besides that guitar synthy thing... which plays a perfect backup) Anyway, atmosphere great... Drumwork nice.... Work on those strings a little more, automate their volume a little more and bring out more dynamic builds, you have some nice ones, but I think it could be done a little more. Another suggestion: 3:10 ... maybe layer your main hit with another drum that doesn't have such a wet sound to it I enjoyed this so far!
  9. Awesome take on the theme... It's not the most interpretive, but what it concentrates on is just really damn cool. You really spice up a song that is such a standalone... Enjoyed all of the nuances with the percussion and synth/bass etc. BTW: I love your rhodes, holy shit SO SO SO nice... I could have gone for like, 3 more minutes of just that, seriously.
  10. I'm with suzu on this one, but who knows I may join yet another project last minute and ruin everything yay
  11. Fine and dandy Anso... Congrats Now you just need to make sure your beard levels up with you
  12. Hey, Always interested in your stuff... I like this a lot. So far my only qualm is that as there is a lot of atmospheric reverbish elements throughout the entire song, it starts to go from sounding cool to me feeling like everything is a little muddy in the middle, just because my ears become so used to it...If you take out these elements at select places (just a couple) or lessen them for transitions, I think they'd have a more dynamic effect overall. Also, suggestion: At 2:35. you chill things out and take away the drums etc... I REALLY REALLY think maybe an organ playing some chords would really be cool Cathedral reference here, so if you have anything like organ3 or any decent organ samples, play some chords! You have some of those nice reverby chill things going on here, but you could always lessen them just a tad for some organ... It'd add some great contrast and nods to the original IMO... But yeah, it's just my humble opinion. Good luck!
  13. fun as usual
  14. well this was certainly an interesting topic
  15. thanks for the review I will def. work on trying to fill up the space in some places... I also need to work on bridging some transitional gaps and make it flow better (I realize that the end parts I've added may feel a litte out of place because I haven't really worked on some transitional stuff, and they are mostly just ideas I may or may not use)
  16. okay updated just a little
  17. you guys are loop
  18. Just so everyone knows, and I've stated this before... From the beginning of me working on my song, I went into working on it saying if the project has to come out and it is not done by that time, I don't mind my song being cut, since it was probably the second (or third) to last song started. I've been working on my song slowly and steadily this whole time, but I do not mind it being kicked out if it is not done by the time this project is ready to go. That being said: Kyle has good reason for any delays, and they are not all just because of unfinished songs... So guys, sit back and relax, this is like 40 songs, coordinated between dozens of artists... That in itself is great.
  19. Hey man, this is great. I <3 the Final Countdown Intro haha... Oh man... man oh man oh man oh man As far as EQ goes, it sounds real slick, like most of your stuff.. I don't really see any huge problems. The high end is fine for me.
  20. Thanks, I will see what I can do with this advice. Ty dude :J If anyone else is interested, I'd love some more input.
  21. Alex, way cool dude. I especially like those strings building at 34-40... Nice build there. Haha, cool build again at around a minute... What follows I can only think of as sounding like an evil duck guitar wah wah... That's so great haha. Slowdown is a bit awkward at first (around 2 minutes) but it is cool once I get used to it, (only a few seconds later) You sure know how to keep an great excitement level with songs! My only qualms: gets a little muddy... I want more of that evil duck guitar wah wah, and I want it soloing lol Awesome as usual! Keep 'em coming!
  22. Agree about the drums, but I think it's mostly it's placement in the mix... Your kit sounds like it's being played from inside a tube... not good. What are you using btw? Is this BFD? Honestly it kind of feels like this song would work so much better with a more techno-ey kind of drumwork/feel/samples, or you could at least layer this kit with them... But everything else sounds cool.
  23. Here is my latest WIP Source is: Final Fantasy IV - Tower of Bab-il First off, I love the soundtrack to this game... It's really awesome, so I hope you like this song. Tell me what you think, what bothers you, what you like, etc. Don't pay attention to anything after around 2:30 ish... Really, whatever jumps out at you tell me. My remix alternate hosting Source alternate hosting p.s. please also listen to my Brandish WIP which is also floating around if you like this please :J
