Nice playing!

Way too short and such, but this is just a riff, so no biggie.

Your guitar playing is quite good, I never really realized that. Audacity is a pretty nice program for the price. I got such a good deal on it, I only paid 80 bucks plus like 5 bucks shipping- it was a steal!

:P

Thanks for your vote, OMGitsMrMaestro! You voted 5 for techno guitar riff, keeping its score at 5.00.

Hmm, don't ge tthat too often. Wonder how long it will last before zero voters come?

mhb responds:

thank you very much for the 5! i agree that audacity is pretty nice for the price. the fact that it can utilize vst's is great. someday soon i'll finish the song that this riff goes with. hopefully it turns out ok.

Ohh, you've gotten better!

Your music has gotten quite a bit more polished since the last time I listened to it! Great job!

Nice introduction of the instruments at the beginning. I would personally have a higher synth on top of the rest of the parts once you get towards the middle of the piece. You introduced one a little late for my taste, and I think the frequency could be slightly higher, along with the volume. Not much, but a little.

Great job, 5/5 hands down :)

attemptedperfection responds:

Thanks for the kind words!
after quite a few listens, I also noticed the high synth coming in a little too late... among other things... but your notice of the same issue assures that said issue will be resolved.
Thanks again for the review!

Not bad

This is definately one of your better works. I think the chorus part with the longer strings would have a better impact if you had a different chord progression in there. Also I think a break with just a drum beat and some sort of bass synth solo would be good.

Also, lay off the swears a bit- a few are alright I guess, but the whole part towards the end when you are talking about your fans and every other word is cussing- it just sounds obnoxious. If you ever make it big it would sound a little better, but it just sounds like you are trying to look cool right now.

Also, when you say Mother Fucker one time you sound like you are constipated (you're yelling or somthing).

" I'm never going to fucking stop"

...fucking? why? Use swears to accent a point, dont just throw it in there.

Don't get me wrong, I was pretty impressed with your rapping style and the lyrics are pretty solid too. Do somthing that makes you stand out and you may get noticed.

ThePedicidleGhost responds:

U no what man? Your right. Im gonna work on the cussin and makin myself stand out. Seriously. Thanks for the advice n the review. I appreciate it man.

Fans?

Judging by your download count, you don't have any fans. I don't mean to sound like a jackass, but get over yourself.

Try to do somthing new and interesting. Write a song in an odd time signature (5/4, 7/4), put unusual instruments. Use different and unique beats. Maybe throw in some sort of drum solo using. If you want to get noticed be different. You sound like just another wannabe.

ThePedicidleGhost responds:

True True. But most people dont know about my NG account. They mostly go 2 my soundclick adress or go 2 my offical website. (Which is still in the works but yet 864 people had went their with in the 1st 3 days it was up) N thanks for the advice. I'll keep that in mind.

Talent?

You're right, I have no clue what TALLENT is, but if you are talking about talent...

I dont see any talent. Just the same guitar riff out of key vocals.

Random tempo change was too random. I would have a little more break in between the sections. I love how people people think that throwing in a "Shit" or "Mutha Fucka" or "Bitch" gives their song edge. Sorry, it doesn't. Especially if you're a 14 year old nobody, it just makes you look like an unoriginal copycat.

ThePedicidleGhost responds:

that song is an old hunk of doo doo brown I slapped 2 gether with in like.....Id say an hour. I didnt really much care about it. I just wanted 2 make a point. N thats what im all about. N I dont think cussin gives any body edge 2 be honest....no body cares about cussin, its words. Wow. not 2 mention thats the way I normally talk. N a nobody? Yea your right 2 a certain extent. Every body is somebody, some are more important then others. Me I aint as important as most people cuz all I wanna do is make people see what I see n Beleive my beliefs.

Wow have you gotten good!

Jezz Maestro you have improved so much! Great job and keep up the awsome work!

5/5

MaestroSorrow responds:

I hope to get much better, once I get a new comp! I pray that will be sometime soon.

Holy...

I just happened to stuble across your music... you have serious serious potential! I was amazed by the beauty of this piece. Wow. I garruntee you if you keep this up you will get some recognization. I'm speechless.

You have skill. The signs of true talent show through when you can take such a simple melody and simple music and turn it into somthing as beautiful as this.

easily 5/5 from me.

What software do you use?

yosmil responds:

Thank you for these encouraging words!

At the moment, I use Garritan Personal Orchestra Software. It's perfect for working out concepts.

Your music has great potential, by the way ... Keep up the good work!

Haha

I like the themes. It looks like you definately took a stab at fugal form, which I am very happy to see. This is close, but not quite in true fugue form. Care to post an analysis of this so I can see how your mind was working? I am curious to hear more stuff :).

LoneInstrumentalist responds:

weeellllll
sing in showers, remember, sing it n hyme it X]

i aint jokin as well lo, i just seem to....compose it literally in my mind......but my hand refuse to write it down properly when i try :x

i basically take wat i like, alter it or make it from scratch, and then filter it through a dose of my "style"...improvisation sums it up X]

ty for reviewing, keep urs up!

cheerios~

..Wow

Beautifully done :). I love the nature sounds. The piano part is very well done, but watch out for incorrect notes, they creep in here and there. It can be hard to get a perfect take of a piece (I do a lot of studio recording now, so believe me I know :|). But it really is critical for a piece.

Now the only really complaint I have is the voice in the middle of the piece. It adds awsome atmosphere, but I can' tell if it is supposed to be a womanly sounding man, or a manly sounding woman. Maybe bring it up or down an octave (I would suggest up an octave). This really deserves to go to the top, another great piece by you two guys!

MaestroSorrow responds:

in the middle? Heh, there was only one voice, and that was at the beginning, and was MINE XD!

I assure you my testestorone levels are far above normal.

As for bringing it up or down an octave, if I bring it down, it sounds like a whooly mammoth, in low baritones, and if I bring it up one, it sounds like a Squirral on caffeine.

Many thanks for the review ^^.

Very very nice

At the beginning I was like "What, how is this platinum?" It did not really appeal to me. But once the drums come in, you had me. It was very passionate. There were some dissonances which you certaintly want to watch out for, because they can get distracting. Also, the chimes part is not possible unless you get some deep hand bells (which would sound completely different). I think if you studied Theory, especially counterpoint and species your music would get exponentially better!

Nonetheless, a nice piece. You could use some better sounds though :)

MaestroSorrow responds:

heh, I thank you for your wisdom. This song, is rather strange really. I worked backwards from this piece, starting from the hyper beat at the end, and then making the beginning more and more simple, until I had this ^^.

True, those damn chimes, but heh, the glory of making music on the computer, is you can sometimes break the rules in order to make something work.

many thanks for the review ^^.
