...Its a guitar. but.

Well to sum it up, dont record guitar playing using a 16 bit soundcard on a headset microphone. 40% of the points were lost on clarity. It just plain didnt work without other instruments and you were playing it waaaay too slow. and the only thing i recognised from the geurodo theme was the melody, which was horendiously out of time and lacked any depth to it due to lack of any other instruments at all.

Intracate responds:

My recording system sucks.I need to get a better one like.OTS Labs.

...o.

Speakonia + midi = BAD.

Especialy when your soundcard is too shit to record wav files at anything over 16 bit.

It wasnt even a rap.

Great idea, but failed miserabley.

:o

Well you get credit as i can tell this is live, but as always, there are a few mistakes and what sounds like an 8 year old girl palying with the highest octave while you're recording.

Also quite a few of you're chords were wrong, and it dosnt end properly,i'll think you'll find its:
C maj, C min, C maj, C maj, C maj, C min, C maj, C maj
G maj * 6, C maj, C maj;
C maj, E min, Bb Maj 7th, C maj, D min, F maj, g maj, G maj,
C maj, F maj, G maj, C maj
though not played as blocks of course, thats just general keywork.
As this is live, and you obviously did it by ear, i'll let you off for that, no marks involved.

Nice job.

:o

First, i would like to congratulate you on previously fooling me into thinking this wasnt FL, secondly, i would like to congratulate you on being one of the very, VERY few people on NG that can use FL properly. Problem with fl is it was swamped with noobs, and thus the standards of being *good* at it are consequentialy very high, and you dont just reach these standerds, you break them with a big rusty ol' hammer and spit on whats left.

And dont worry about the error, theres always one...

:o

Its decent, but it didnt feel right in a major key, especialy when its called 'intruder alert' which suggests that it represents somthing bad or dangerous. In fact, listning to it, its quite happy. Nice use of synthy sounds, drums could be a bit louder though, in some parts the beat wasnt evident.

:o

Enter the reviewmeister.

Well starting off, it was very very fruityloopish, which pulls down origionality no end, but this dosnt really matter as much as it would for most people on the AP, because you blatently know how to use it properly.

Yes, despite the fact that fruityloops in the program of noobs IMHO, there is the odd artist who puts it to good use.

Maybe you could of started in a little slower, it felt like it needed some ambience or strings for effect, the way to good trancy/techno is integration of 'vanilla' instruments and sounds, as it gives the listener a reference point to what 'normal' music sounds like.

The build up worked really well, though i felt you could of held it at the thickest point slightly longer. A lot of progressive trance holds the song for anything around 2 mins at the thickest section with a short, much thinner, section between in a differnt style.

As always with fruityloops and pretty much all music software, the clarity was supreme, and the instruments were undistorted.

RyeGuyHead responds:

Maybe you could review one of my songs that didnt suck

Hmm

Well for a start, i can tell you didnt actually play this on a piano. The soundfont is too basic, and the difference between the velocity is too exact, and many of the cadences played are impossible to finger on a piano. Ever seen a guy streach 2 octaves?

More importantly, i can tell you didnt even record these, only convert them. Especialy listning to your jarassic park theme, i have the exact same midi lying on my desktop.

Now even though this isnt you work, i understand its hard to convert midi files, and i'm even expecting people to use it, so even though it dosnt deserve to be on the audio portal, this kind of stuff needs to be done.

afliXion responds:

Of course its not me playing the piano. I never said it was! This is impossible to play. So is most of my other piano stuff I submit. The point wasn't to make it playable, just to make it sound good on a piano. However I do have playable versions that I play in real life.
Next your are completely wrong about me just converting them. What I did was listen to a midi file of the song that I got from http://www.moviethemes.org/movie.html.
Those midi files are not piano parts, they are the whole orchestra. What I do is listen to the parts, and harmonize them on the piano. I sure as hell don't just convert it.
It is hard work and I say it does deserve to be on the portal.

Right.

Tip:

Upgrade from crappy old fruity loops to midi keyboard, Reason 3.0, mixing deck and audigy 2.

Gooch responds:

You know, some constructive criticism on the song would've been nice instead of telling me which programs to use and not use.

hmmnnn

More than one instrument REALLY would have rocked. And how many times has sombody been playing a piano at a carnival. Its normaly one of those musette things.

The second section sounded seriously overquantized, out of time, and generaly out of theme.

BokutoMasamune responds:

oh pushaw!! ....ok, fine, I was really bored alright?

...Ahem.

Get some REAL software, and some knowledge of 'tone' and 'tune' would be good. This wasnt even mildly serialistic.

leifh responds:

Haha all of the easybeat ones I uploaded were from before I took the class.

I maek musics.
