Wooot.

Terrible. Absolute rubbish. Bin it.

Right thats the title sorted, now onto the music.

PERFECT. Ok lets look at this one bit at a time. sweet synth sounds, perfect balence of drums to bass, vocals were a little quiet even if they were only intended for ambience. Hihat was a little.. picky but it gets balenced out ok by the synth:drums ratio (somthing around 1.5:1 which is good.. i think) Lots of varied sounds in this one, and i listened to it a good 4 times before i even noticed it was looping. Maybe put the track volume up a bit, seemed a little bit low on the O-scope to me, but that can be made up for with my lovely amplifying powers. Good ol' audigy 2. never let me down yet. Possible uses involve some kind of game background music, fight scene in a high quality fight movie, and millions of possible uses for people who havnt learnt how to use more than one layer in flash yet. Damn man. make more.

Oh yes, and just because my audio gets completely overlooked after 6 and a half hours on each track, go check it out ;)

Rucklo responds:

Helloooo.
Well, I can only dream of getting reviews like this all the time. I see clearly what you feel about the song, and respect your opinion in every way!

The title, yes, it IS cheesy, but thought through. The "cooontaaact!" scene in predator is just so fucking awsome, and the warcry is a highly used and "internal joke" allmost, amongst some of my friends. That explains the title :D

Hihat is a little too picky and high compared with the other instruments (actually, its a drumsample I made a while ago, there´s some other sounds too than only the hihat, dont remember what though :)...
Making things loop fine with reason is pice of cake, it can be done better that this. Good thing u didnt notice at once though.
In my opinion, there should be more background soundeffects like perhaps sirens, "blam" sounds or whatver u might hear randomly in a war/fightscene.
This song isn´t 100%done, there is just lots of work with the eq that I wanted to try out. Ithink I got it a lil wrong, but learned of my mistake (i gave every instrument a boost of a specific "unique" fq). It came out kinda cool if u know what ure looking for, but i should have done te other way around, i suppose. I´ll try that in my next song :D
I hope some more people will check this song out and use it in ther flash-fighting scenes. Anyone who reads this and wanna use this in their song; the song can be altered and packed by request! (of course, since i never really had any requests of that before ;)

I thank you Khuskan for a honest and well written review, I´m gonna check ur songs out as soon as I get time :D
And don´t worry, this aint the last u´ve heard of me yet :D

oo.

Well, the reason its playing pointlessly fast is the fact that your bitrate is slower than flash is made to handel, so it sets it as default in newgrounds ingenious player. You get the same problem with higher bitrates than flash can handel, but it plays slower as opposed to faster.

notorious responds:

ok but i dont know how to make the bitrate higher. its too bad u cant respond or u might be able to give me an answer.

:D

Tis I again :)

You put the accent on the wrong note in the main phrase but i'll forgive you for that, but its an easy mistake to make.

Again your bassy chords are a little bit too low down for the piano, in a song like this it tends to sound better if it has a higher more delecate sound, reserving the lower half for the more dramatic parts of the song, like when the strings section kicks in. Ah yes, the strings. They sound slightly cheesy but again theres not much you can do about this, not entirely sure how you went about mixing them in, whether a seporate recording or if you somhow (and quite amazingly) played two keyboards at once, or have once... with 4 hands... or you just have a nice piano sample on your midi set, most likely mirroring it through a normal keyboard back into midi in.. ahh i used to do that. those were the days. Now i have audigy 2 :D.

Definatly keep at it, and make sure you check out my audio too, you might just like it ;)

I need to do a zelda track somtime, yet my ideas are currently thin. Prehaps at the weekend...

OsseDragon responds:

w00t. CRITIQUE! :D I love critique..*reads* accent..on..the..wrong note. *takes note of that* um.. though I'm not entirely sure what you mean.. perhaps you can clearify? :D yea I know I'm pretty stupid when it comes to musical terms.. anyway! yea I guess the strings sound kinda cheesy.. and.. yea thats a serperate recording lol.. can't say I have four hands or 2 piano's for that sake.. :D but everything thats played is played actually on that thing so that I can at least but a "bit" of feeling innit for as far as possible that is with MIDI..*rambling away again*

well I'm still working onnit..hoping..to..improve it in any way.. cos that tune is just prettey. :D yea. *bangs on* AND YEA THE MORE ZELDA THE MORE JOY! WOO! *celebrates, throws confetti* teh. *goes to make breakfast or somethin*

:o

Utter hilarity :O, but some more words would be slightly better.

Reminds me of some marriages i know of...

Reviewerizing in progress...

Bass line was out of tune with the rest of the instruments, drums were too weak. For a second it hit the speres and i thought it was going to start getting better but they just cut out.

Its pretty average all in all, but would be MUCH better with softer instrument playing the treble, may i suggest a sine?

F of the WT

For gods sake man, TURN YOUR GAIN DOWN. Seriously, no pitch is audiable at all, and thats definitaly not the point of music, not even heavy metal, though i credit you for using your own samples.. it seems.

ElGhoulio responds:

It's not the gain you're talking about; It's the reverb you're talking about. I actually used close to half gain, so there. And listen to it through your headphones- That's how I designed it. When I recorded it, I made it for headphones. I know it sounds like shit out of your computer speakers, but it sounds much better through headphones. And, also, listen to Mayhem's Live in Lillehammer and Ha elm Zalag or Darkthrone's Transylvanian Hunger or Emperor's Wrath Of The Tyrant, and you'll come crying back to the music I made. Yes, it isn't clear, but oh well. What kind of music do you listen to? That will answer a lot of your qualms. And yes, I should've turned down the reverb. Oh well

Average.

Wow, you can play 3 keys on a sine wave sound. Not only that but they're all the same note. Too slow, too monophonic and too repetative

Lova-Gurl responds:

....

Ahem.

This sounds amazingly like a midi. A midi of course that was not made by you.

Recognised the first first drum riffs and the floor tomming :P

Therefore, you recive no mark.

^o^

A fellow midi user! Few and far between. Nice use of reverb effects there, though i personaly don't fell the staccato bassline about quater of the way in really fitted the rest of the piece, and i heard a few.. missing notes, overquantizing prehaps? To the trained midi ear, i really could tell you recorded at least some of this directly via a midi keyboard, which is impressive on the NGAP, considering 90% of people use fruity loops and 90% of people who use fruityloops dont know how to play an instrument, so you get extra credit, just for that :)

Now go listen to some of my tunes, review, vote whatever, spread the love ^^

OsseDragon responds:

OH MY GOD a review. *girly scream* my vewwy first review..*sniffles* my what a landmark in my puny little life..*treasures it*

um! yea. the song. :D yea I used this electrical piano.. I'm not really that great of a player..but oh well, I manage..or so I like to think. and. well. I just thought. what the hell..might as well submit some stuff on here.. see if there's any..FEEDBACK! and lo and behold. yea. but I'm rambling away again. *reads it again* yea well this is just a little somethin I made..in.. an hour or so.. cos I was bored.. and I didnt give it much afterthought.. but yea I guess your right about that bassline thing.. yea. imonna shut up now. and I'll defenitly check out your stuff.. :D and thanks for the critique! and score. n stuff. :D

Yay

Never played the game, but this is a great mix. Only a few nit picks, Bass is WAY too quiet and the drums are a bit.. boring. I understand you want emphesis on the guitar, but theres such thing as 'over doing it' in the music trade. Also theres a millisecond gap after the first set of samples, easy to fix in soundforge/whatever but it notices

VGman2005 responds:

I see what you mean. This was my first shot at a remix of a video game theme, and I wanted to try to give the feel of an ending theme of sorts. But I'll take your advice and will make many improvements with my future remixes.

I maek musics.
