Generic and boring.

There's no hook. Your melody is repeated throughout the song. Your percussion sounds fake, and it doesn't fit with the rest of the song.

Try to add interest by varying your themes. Work on your song structure. Vary the percussive rhythms.

It's just... generic and uninteresting.

Goofy!

I liked this track from the start, though with the big role that cymbal plays in the first minute of the song, I might have toned back the brightness just a little. Make it a little more gritty.

I like the lead synth. Percussion maintains interest throughout. Honestly, the percussion is probably the strongest part, but your instrumentation through out was interesting, if very widely varied.

Thanks for the comments! I also feel that percussion is my strong suit. Cheers

Little slow.

Your melody could have come in sooner, and not ceased so quickly.

The arpeggiated 'bass' was fine as an introductory statement, but continued through the song just makes me think mario, over and over again. I'd try introducing some sort of changes to produce interest. More than throwing filters/EQ changes into the mix.

More prevalent percussion might help.

Ultimately the song feels like it's lacking direction and resolution.

Box-Killa responds:

Yeah the melody is short, but it makes you want it. When it comes, it has more affect, more penitration.

Yeah i did a lazy job on this song. Thanks for the review tho. Hope you liked it. If you want i will keep you informed with good songs that i made :D

peace out :D

chill

it's chill, it's simple, it doesn't try to throw stuff in your face.

i like your instrumentation for the most part, the percussion is maybe a little generic for me.

It maybe doesn't reach super far, but it accomplishes what it needs to I think.

Enjoyable.

zaporzan responds:

Thanks! =D

production value.

This might be a good song, but you need to work on your mic technique.

It sounds to me like this was recorded with one cheap mic somewhere in the room where everyone was playing, am I wrong?

I can hear drums and... is that a synth doing the weird eastern sounds?

I think that's a guitar, but the tone isn't so hot and it must be on the wrong side of the room.

I'd love to hear a real recording of this song.

neat!

also so close to being a song!

I don't know what your intentions are wiht this track because you didn't feel it was important enough to write about. I'm forced to wonder if you intended other people to hear it.

pr0ded responds:

try losing some weight tubby

wow.

this is almost a song.

Did you really?

I'm not sure what you think funk is, but I don't think I know anyone who would call this funk.

To the song... your percussion is very muffled, yet artificial sounding at the same time.

Your instrumentation feels random and is honestly a little annoying.

The song builds up to nothing and, as a result, resolves nothing.

There is honestly nothing that pulls this song up for me.

zcult responds:

I kind of see what you're saying. But the jist of what you're saying is "I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this patient doesn't have a heart."

So it sounds like I need a new major idea to bring this piece together. I know what you're saying about the instrumentation. I'll change some of the patches. Though what would be generally a good combination of instruments?

I'll try to fix the drums. Honestly it's a demo, but I'm happy you're giving honest advise.

I'm currently employed as a professional sound engineer, travelling the country with a musical.
