(Real review, just read it, I actually say real things)
Thanky!! ^^
Well...
First off, there was many problems. One was the bass. I am assuming that you used a bass VSTi. Well, in a midi, the bass is in the lower octaves because the midi-instruments have uniform pitch. You need to raise the pitch by 2 octaves to get the sound you need. Now, the bass just blends in the sub levels.
I dislike the lead. It is a bit annoying and doesn't blend well with the bass. I would suggest a dual vintage saw with and underlying sine^2 and a slight pitch difference between the 2 saws. That is the "trance anthem" that you hear so often.
Next, the countermelody was nowhere near strong enough. You used a pad, rather than the intended strings, so it was barely hearable over the new bass section.
I dislike the drums. They stay the same and when you want them to change because it is a necessary element of the song (where the straight eighth melody switches to the eighth-sixteenth melody), it doesn't change. The drums stay the same pretty much the whole time, except when they are not supposed to change.
Well, I have my own popcorn remix, take a look at that, its pretty different than yours and uses a lot of elements that you should use.
holy shit
Sorry for shortness but I am on my wii.
1 thing to say - mmbn4 is the greatest game of all time. I have beaten mmbn4 red sun over 7 times now. I have all the standard chips and most of the mega and giga chips. I have beaten Bass many times.
You made an awesome remix of a song whose midi is rare. Good job.
Only issue is default Fl Studio drums and bland synths. Get z3ta for more action.
My only gripe with MMBN4 is that they took out Style Changes... I mean, hey, I like the Soul idea, but as for me... HeatGuts Style forever! XD
lolawesome
Wow Willie! This was so awesome that I am going to review it on my wii!
First, 8th grade power! Blah, tinny voices unite! Get the talk software to work with windows >:(
Well, the drums were different from what you showed me over AIM! Where's the 2-stepping?!
Anyways, 'twas interesting. The pitch increasing on the amen break was smart, but does the amen break go on top of the original rhythm?
Overall, nice guide, a bit psycho at the end, though. Typed on my wii, oh yeah!!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Blah...
It is a short drum loop. It doesn't even loop correctly.
Next time, try to use different instruments other than presets.
Try adding a synth. Sytrus is good for beginners, and you could use 3xOsc, z3ta and others when you get more advanced. Keep playing around.
Also, I answered your question in the FL help thread.
I Know, I was Just playing Around :)
Good!
I liked it! It was different than most everything here. It was a good break from heavy metal and electronica!
It seems that you have a pop-star vocal complex. That means that you sing like a diva rather than a rock singer.
I like the guitar part! Sometimes it didn't mesh well with the vocals, though.
This song was... kind of emo. Newgrounds doesn't really like emo, so try writing other lyrics. Also, sing a bit clearer next time.
Otherwise, it was good! Keep it up!
Good Job!
I liked it! I can tell you have some potential to become the next Chronamut or XBrav (famous VG remixers).
I like the blend of synths! What VSTi do you use? I like how they are layered.
I also like the use of filter automation. It adds some cool effects to the song.
I was disappointed, however, at your use of FL preset drums! Naughty, naughty! Get some samples or make your own drums in Sytrus!
Also, I have some good 8-bit synth recommendations. Get Toad from tweakbench for a classic NES drum synth. Also, magical8bitplug is the greatest VG synth I have ever seen. Google it.
Nice remix, 9/10! Keep it up!
Thanks, bud! I actually do have magical8bitplugin, but I'll check out the "Toad" thingymahoozit. Thanks for the input!
Nice!
It was a very interesting song! It wasn't what I was expecting when I saw the name!
I like some of the drums, but the beats are very simple. I guess that is OK in trance.
I think some of the synths could have been better. A few were boring and simple. I do like melodies and blend though!
Keep up the good work!
for a first successful trance song procured by the MG2 i was impressed and thanx for the review i hope when i get FL studios that ill be dropping more complex beats.
Great song, misleading name!
The name brought me to believe it was the remix of that other song.
After listening, I realized that I had heard a little preview of this before!
I love how the bass does the downslides. It is very new and original.
I think your breaks are a bit too sudden, but then, they are very nice and light, just like a break should be.
I think your use of filters was great, I love that ravey synth you used! Was it a sample, or 3xOsc like B0UNC3?
Overall, really good song, I await more.
Hahah yeah, I forgot about that other song.
breaks are too sudden, but it was kind of intended to be a jumpy song.
Funny that you mention B0UNC3 cause I was originally trying to remix Distorted reality, then gave up and this baby was born.
Nope, its not 3xOsc... I only used 3xOsc for the bass. I donno what you mean by Ravey synth... You mean the saw? Cause thats nexus...
And the slidey synth is Vanguard.
Thanks for the review!
Odd Name, good song!
Well, this is a can opener song? Its not really what I think of when I see a can opener. It sounds like ghetto techno to me, its interesting.
I like the weird sounds that bleep at me, but I don't really like the drums. They are not really varied. The kick at the end is a bit weird. That might have just been me imagining it.
Well, thanks for reviewing my track. I hope your can opener isn't too weird.
thx for stoping by
