[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.

darkkloud responds:

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.

[sandwall]

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!

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

thanks old man,
we had fun with this one, i spoke to waga about it and i think we are gonna make time to smooth it over and finish. we played this at a party the other night soooper loud and the massive drop towards the end sounded immense.
you got any new ones in your pipeline?
;ped

[Star Rise Reaper]

[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 :)

[Mirage of Life]

Not too bad

A little clunky - something didn't seem to gel correctly - decent vocoder thing happening though.

I really would have liked to hear this turn into something more - I felt like I was waiting for something to finally kick in but it just never did.

Keep it up though !

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

yea, I was trying for a while to kinda build it up to something, but it just never happened. the dance-ish part was supposed to be a bit longer, but I was never able to really get that anticipated intense feel in this song.

thanks alot for the review man!

[The Labratory]

Hmmmm Tough one.

Sounds alright but you've got a real retro sound happening here along side of more up to date samples. I think that if you stuck with the more chip-tuney percussion it would have worked out nicer.

Not really my thing so don't pay too much attention to my critique.

Keep on submitting! 4/5

hjhkbn responds:

Yeah i know, it was supposed to be all retro. I wanted to be like that because it was like a lab theme.

[°°Attitude°°]

Nice - if a little repetitive

A little repetitive and honestly after a few bars I felt like I was waiting for something - not sure what - but like I said, I felt like I was ... waiting. Sounded like it was heavy on the higher frequencies - could have used a little more beef in the bass maybe? Not a bad track at all - I don't want you to think that I didn't like it - I did, I'm just letting you know where I think the little trouble spots might be.

ALl in all a nice track.

Whirlguy responds:

I like it when people point things out what could have been better, thats what I do when I write reviews aswell(: I agree about the bass, and repetitive, well.. I tried spicing it up the best as I could. Glad you like it though! Thanks for the review^-^

[°°D-Tastic°°]

Lose some of the Intro!

GREAT sounding track once you get past the intro, which went on just a little too long. After that though it really turned into something unexpectedly cool.

Very nice job!

Lose those pan flutes and timpanis though :)

Great track - 5!

Whirlguy responds:

I started this song with the boring intro and then got the idea to throw it all over. I have been thinking about throwing the intro away after that, but the next part wouldnt be as good if I did that. Id say that this would be a good introtrack if Id ever make an album:P

Thanks for the review! (:
