Not bad

The only thing I'm not fond of is the clarity. I'm sure you were going for this sound, but I've just never been a big fan of the noisier recordings. I'd really like to hear something from you that was mixed and recorded with more clarity in mind. Overall though it was a pretty cool song.

Goatchrist responds:

I got some professional equipment recently and if you listen closely, you'll hear a notable difference to my older material.

Thanks for the review

Great

Great work with the percussion. Nice and powerful without being annoyingly loud and in your face. The strings dynamics were great and I'm practically drooling on my keyboard from the sound of your choirs. I can't wait to find out how the competition turns out. Good luck man.

DavidOrr responds:

The choir sounds are a handful to work with, but man do they sound great! Thanks for the review!

Awesome

Damn you and your awesome percussion. I'd have to say I think this one is your best submission out of your songs for the MAC. I'm not saying the others aren't great, because they are, I just think this one will fit Castle Crashers the most. Then again I'm always a sucker for driving percussion and powerful strings. You're also using dynamics in your songs a lot more nowadays.

MaestroRage responds:

I used to hate making percussion. It used to be my weakest point XD... now I can't get enough of it >:(!!!

I personally think this is my strongest contender as well. I am thinking of making a version 2 if I have the time, I hope to fix the end, and perhaps put more energy into it!

Dynamics, difficult to master when you have to click each note, but slowly, i'm getting the hang of it!

Thank you for the review speedmetalmessiah! I'm glad you liked it!

Damn

I love that percussion. That's from EW Gold right? I really need to save up some cash. Anyway, back to the song. The strings are quick and powerful which suits the theme quite well. The only part I wasn't completely sold on was the edning. It starts to build up and then it just ends. I know it's supposed to be shorter and loop for the competition, but I really wanted it to keep going. In the end you get a 9/10 and a five. Good luck in the competition.

MaestroRage responds:

I tried to do something with the ending which I guess people did not agree with. Maybe i'll make a version 2 of the song, but not likely.

Yes, this song is made largely of East West Gold. It is worth every penny. If you're going to buy one VST, I would recommend this one!

I DO plan on making an extended version though, full song length!

Thank you for the review Speedmetalmessiah! I'm glad you liked it!

Not bad

A little bit thin if you ask me. Could definitely use some more low end and less mids/highs.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Yeah, I have a "fatter" version...But "your mom ate it" hahaha, Just fucking with you, dood. The fatter version, still has some clipping issues that I'm tryin to sort out. I don't really like the new distortion much either. Can't really find a setting I like. And there is WAY too much pissing around with eq to get it to sound alright. Please. Give me some money. I need a reliable distortion. dood...it would benifit us all!!!! hahahahaha.
Thanks for listenin, and leavin a review.\m/

Hmm

This could use some more mixing for sure, but the playing was good. The solo was really loud man. The rest of the music also seems quieter than in part 1. All around the playing was quite good, but I'll say it again, it could use some mixing. How long have you been playing guitar? You're pretty good.

Sonofkirk responds:

...I agree with ya about mixing but I haven't some good mixing equipment. I'll get an other softwear for my records. I play the guitar for 3 years. But a play all the time I listen lot of music...
And I'm not very good to speak English !!
Thanks man !!

Not bad

Not bad at all. Though the beatcraft drums aren't the best sounding you did a great job sequencing them. The guitar playing was great, and the tone was pretty good as well. Though some of the leads were a little quite and that piano was way too loud in some parts. I'll definitely be checking out the second part of this next. Hopefully I'll get to hear you rip like Romeo.

Sonofkirk responds:

Thanks a lot man ! I'm searching a new drumkit wich sounds heavy...
Like Romeo ?? !! Thanks !!

Nice

Loving the sound of your kicks in this one. Your drums in general sound good. The riffs were pretty cool and the rhythm playing was nice and tight. The only thing I wasn't really fond of was the solo. The tone was good, but I just wasn't feeling it. All around it should be a cool track when you finish it.

Demon-Slayer12 responds:

Thanks man, I've been workin on my drum sound for a long time and I think I finally have it. I just cut the mid a bit on my kicks, and tweaked the highs and lows a bit. I tried recording these riffs while I was drunk, and it wasn't as tight as this one hahaha! I needed the right buzz get it right haha. The solo wasn't great, I know, I tabbed a way better solo but I'm not quite up to speed, so I just did an improvised solo with one of my new wah sounds, and I 've got 8 muahahaha. So I might experiment with other wahs later on. Thanks for checkin it out man, and when, and I mean WHEN, I finish this song, it should be fuckin killer. Cheers! \m/

Awesome

Wow, I wonder how the full tune sounds, hahaha. hey man, if you've got the midi or whatever it was you were going to send me finished, you can go ahead and e-mail it to me. I haven't really been able to catch you online lately. Anyway man, you know I love the tune. Some wicked playing and in general great writing.

FlameMesial responds:

Thanks man. This is a 5-month late fucking reply, I'm a lazy twat.

Of course, I'm pulling out of the whole album thing with vocals, but this is a notice for anyone wanting to listen to the album's music -

NOTICE FOR EVERYONE:
I have discontinued recording vocals for the album, due to the long winters in Britain. When I can catch Speedmetal again on msn I need to know if he can help me with the rest of the synth parts and post-production, then I can send anyone a copy of the album online.

Thanks for the post-production on this song man, even though the album project didn't entriely work out, you made this sound fucking awesome. Thanks man.

Cool

Pretty cool riff, though you need to fix the panning, either that or record the riff again and pan it to the left.

Zyclon responds:

Thanks a lot. I know, I know. I was planing another guitar track and I forgot to center it before submitting. I'll fix that when I submit the whole song.

If any flash author's want some custom music for their flash just let me know. I'd be more than happy to try and help you out.
