[Gay Rainbow Man]

Needs mastering mastering mastering!

A little clunky here and there - something sounds a little too.... human? in there?? Maybe it's because you have the double-bass pumping out perfectly quantized 32nds contrasted by the guitar. I guess what I mean is that with such dense quatized percussion, the slightest veriation of human timing is amplified a bit - So I guess that being off by a 64th or a 32nd seems to throw the timing off much more than it actually does.

I'd have to listen a few more times to be sure but I think there was a part where one of the guitars was either playing really chunky triplets (but big ones) or possibly in 3/4 time over the rest - It was actually pretty cool though, I liked the little polyrythm thing that was going on there.

The vocals were definitely aggressive - well, as aggressive as gay rainbow man lyrics can be I guess :D The levels were off a bit in a few spots.Most noticeable towards the beginning where the support vocal "Gay Rainbow man" that's panned right a bit comes in - it sounds a bit louder.

I would have voted 4/5 - the levels were off a bit and the whole thing could have used a little more work - but it was funny so if I could, I'd give it a 4.5

The thing is, I just refreshed the page and your score was at 2.5 so I'm guessing someone just zeroed it - because of that, I'll 5 it for you.

ahh amazing review as always. much appreciated my friend.and as for the levels when the vox come in the right, that was an acident. i actually had a little spike(my mic is broken) and when i lowered the level of that part, i accidently forgot the right side.

[The Curtail of the Covert]

Great track!

Extremely stylish - you did a really nice job on this.

Very quirky little tune - I absolutely loved it.

I'm surprised that you haven't gotten more reviews and downloads - I'd suggest popping over to the Audio Forum and dropping a link in the audio advertisements topic.

The only thing that I think could have used a little more attention are the vocals - The vocals sound just a little shaky here and there and although it's overused (almost trite) I think that an auto-tuner could help even things out a bit.

Again, great job - I'd love to hear more like this.

5/5

Splendid

Very cool track - I left off a point for effort so you'll have incentive to finish it :D

The Dog's bollocks, the Bee's knees, the Cat's ass, the poo and a happy ending with a bag of chips all rolled into one.

loved the samples - all worked great together.

Really good stuff Ped - keep it up!

[Un petit morceau in A minor]

Very very VERY nice work!

Perfect - No complaints or suggestions whatsoever.

Beauty in simplicity I suppose.

This is an absolutely terrific track and you've definitely done your part to raise the bar a bit.

This is worth a vote of 6, but there's no button for that, so a 5 it is.

MUCH respect to you!

Winterwind-NS responds:

thanks for the review and the pm
i only wished that more ppl would be able to enjoy this as much as u :)

[Level 6, Alfred.]

Not sure about this one

Needs some volume perhaps? You could have brought your levels up a bit - this mix was very low all around. Don't know what genre this is - not really standard happy clappy techno and it almost seems a bit slow.

The piano didn't sound like it fit - something more menacing would have been better along side of the bass - speaking of which, although it was a fairly standard reese bass but it sounded fine.

Really didn't like the up and down trills - maybe it was the instrument used...

All in all not a bad little track - 4/5

[DJ Comet-Starfall]

Not bad at all - straight 8's

Very nice work here - DnB is always good stuff.

Didn't care for the bells, but no big deal.

Drums could have used a few more breaks and everything else got just a bit washed out and muddy - maybe a little too much reverb?

I liked "Failsafe" better but either way - it's a solid track 4/5

[DJ Comet-Failsafe]

Nice work

Nice to see you around NG again.

Not a bad track here - has damn near everything that it should.

Felt just a bit laid back - you probably could have gone a slightly more energetic route but it didn't take away from the track much.

Damn good work - I'm looking forward to hearing more from you.

5/5

Keep it up and take it easy!
