spellmynamewithabang Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 EDIT: scroll to bottom for 2015 update Something I've been working on as of late.It's very rough as of now, and in it's very early stages, and I know I'll probably need better synths soon.Click Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafydd Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 The initial synths are pretty horrible. They remind me of going to the dentist, or a sawmill... Is it supposed to sound like a guitar? The intro is too long and repetitive. Everything feels very mechanical and inorganic in an unpleasant way. A clone of the first synth comes in and it still feels like an intro. Where the hell are the drums? Lots of dissonance - the bassline doesn't fit with the melody at all. The softer synths that eventually replace the sawmill sounds are pretty nice, but I'm still missing percussion. You need to work on making more stuff happen, all the time, to keep things interesting. It all feels very static, especially the beginning, with the horrible distorted synths. Try adding some pads here and there, some nice drums and modulating the melody instruments so they don't feel like they're on autopilot. Additionally, I would advise you to work a little more on your wips before posting them here, if you don't wanna get this kind of critisism. It can be very annoying to have someone else tell you about flaws and problems you're already aware of. Work it up to where you think it's good, and then see what others think.

If he had to start over every time it ended up this bad, he'd never improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're like the Simon Cowell of the WIP forum. I hope you're the next new judge. No, seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Rod Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 The song is very piercing......and not in "shakes you to your soul" way, but a "nails on the chalkboard" way. I think it would help to add more drums to balance out the soundscape, and please, please change up some of those synths/guitar samples. I think you can make this into somethin good, btu you'll need to totally rework it... And I agree with BGC, this defintiely a unique take on IceCap.

SnappleMan Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 They've all attended SnappleMan Reviewing Academy. Yo, XFactor, don't listen to these assholes. This song is great, totally OCR worthy. I think you should submit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
