[Zelda Song of Time Remix]

: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*

[man and woman lossofconnection]

:o

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

Reminds me of some marriages i know of...

[Ultimate Dementia]

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?

[Fall Of Humanity.]

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

[Goodies]

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:

....

[MARIO 64:1st C=Bob-Om {Redone}]

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.

[Kiss of a Fish]

^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

[Riding Into the Sunset]

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.

[Goodbyes, so long(4min13s]

:o

Constant... vox.. channel panning... Wo@h... the walls are melting. Very 80's computery, brought back a nice nostalgic feel, the kind i used to get right before my BBC Microcomputers PCU exploded.

*sheds a tear*

There are parts the bass goes to such a low frequency the tone isnt audiable

and just so you know, its IMPOSSIBLE to do a piano trill on one note like that. Theres just not enough time for the key to come back.

Now review my audio :P

Oh dear god, got to the bit after piano... Oooooo i like this bit. Its so cheesy its good!

AdmiralConquistador responds:

I wasn't aiming for realism with this song, which is why I labeled it "Experimental" :) The same applies to the bass going to such a low frequency. Btw, I'm not sure what you are talking about, I never made the bass go that low, or at least my headphones were able to produce the tone perfectly. The only thing I made go that low was a saw synth, and that was on purpose. Thanks for the review, cheers

-ac-

[Dramatazation]

:o

Everything reminds me of sex.

It was a little fuzzy, considering it was stereo (as far as i could tell), i'm assuming its just your choice of instruments, nothing too technical. Lovely noise sound behind it though, perfect ammount of poly-phonicness for the track.

Come to think of it, my sex isnt normally that slow.

Now review my audio. Tis the will of god.
