Awesome composition.
Really soothing. Just a question: how do you get the plucks so perfect at around 0:20 and then 2:50. They're really powerful and well-mastered. Any mastering tips to pass along? Which VSTs did you use or did you make the synths yourself? Congratz on amazing song once again. 5/5, 10/10.
So the beginning minute is all created by one synth patch with multi-functionality. The sound is modulated using a variety of ways: using an amplitude envelope and filter envelope with varying decay and attack, changing the mix between different oscillators, side chaining the pluck with a separate kick whose volume I can control. My EQuing is typically very light to avoid "filtered" sounds since I want my music to sound organic (up to this point at least). Typically, I work with the synths until I am satisfied with the sound. For this sound, I applied (in this order), saturater, compressor, EQ, delay, some reverb, sidechain, post-sidechain reverb (if desired). Hope this helps!
Nice song. "One day, you're going to die . . . ."
Lol. The voice of Gandhi reminded me of History class. Did you get his voice from the movie? And this song is really unique. Nice song, especially the panning effects. I'll take a guess as to the motifs in this song: nonviolence, peace, serenity, meaning of life, fate, death. Incorporates elements of Dubstep and the varied vocals make this song even more unique. I can't use my headphones but from what I hear, the song sounds okay. The drums might be a bit louder and overpower the piano. And as stated, the rain part is like a break; let's you think. Perhaps add a build of drums 3:40 onwards to transition better? Perhaps low-pass bongos playing in the background to bring you back to the beat better. Idk. Good job. I guess I'm repeating myself now.
lol gotta love gandhi. thank you for the review :)
p.s. i agree. i shudve compressed the piano a smidge or too better
Nice elements
The melody was really catchy for some reason. Perhaps a little variation in melody in the middle. I liked the climax and the background pads and such. As a side note, what did you use to make the wobbles? VST or program?
P.S. The modulated pad/synth at 1:22 was awesome.
Thanks dood! I used NI Massive for the wobbles. It's crazy what kinds of sounds you can get from that thing ;)
Okay song.
The main synth is pretty nice. The bass is good too. Towards the 0:50, there is no buildup. Use filter and automation clips. The mastering isn't so great either. The drums/snare should be lower volume at times. The kick drum should be turned up at times and the snare got too high at times. The intro is okay.
0:15 was a good bass drop. Practice organization. The song went too fast. Build it up. Continue playing around with the sounds and mixer.
And Newground listeners expect every song to be perfect and just rate zero's for fun. Ignore them. Good effort. With practice, you'll get better. The song has potential. Just change around the melodies and master it better.
ok :) thanks you SO much for you comment :)
Unique and interesting.
THat's what I usually look for in most songs. Great drum percussion and panning, the background click drums are sweet or whatever those are. And I like the minimal wobble dubstep. THe bass is also good. Just wondering at what did you use for the wobble? What VST?
And the experimental 3D room panning, I believe that's what it's called, is pretty nice. And I think the bass could have been a bit lower? Like sub-bass would have made this sound better? Idk... lol, I just love busting out my super cool sub woofers. Great job though.
5/5. 99/100. 10/10. Keep up your uniqueness.
Thanks for the compliments :D They make my day.
And there weren't any wobbles in this song. If you meant the little snippets of sound every now and then around 2:00 that's a sample with a bunch of effects on it lol.
As for the bass, I wanted this to be a song you could just close your eyes and listen to, that's why I didn't really put anything drastic in this. I feel a super-sub bass would kind of draw attention from the rest of the song :P
Thanks for the input though!
One word...Awesome.
I remember downloading the WIP version of this a few weeks ago. It was awesome. But this is better! The atmosphere created makes you think about stuff... like life. It actually makes me sad... idk why. I feel so depressed. Great job creating such a tense mood. Also, the mastering is great. The added effects help enhance the great song. The percussions are also awesome. Keep up the awesome work.
And, I agree with TheYeti12. Epiphanies...
thanks alotg!
Really nice
I liked the hip-hop and RnB aspects in it. The piano was nice but the synth got too overpowered towards the middle? Just around 1:17, the arp spiked up a bit too much. But other than that, it's awesome. The orchestra is a nice aspect too. And a change in drum pattern or a break would be nice. 5/5, 9/10. Cheers!
I gotcha! Thank u for Ur input, it's helping me to make better music :))
Unique
I like the sounds and the percussions or drum loops are really nice, fresh and unique. I was wondering where you got them from. And the mastering is superb. This should be #1 on the Top 5 list. Keep up the great music. And the mix of the different synths and styles of music is also unique. I could go on... so all I have to say is 9999/10.
Well, I'm glad you like it! The breakbeat loops were included in FL Studio. The rest was constructed with drum samples I downloaded.
This remix is epic!
In fact, look at the average score for this review thing ^^^
10/10! I always loved Zelda songs and this combines so many of the good aspects of the soundtracks!
Thanks bro
Really nice!
I love the percussion and mastering. It's a nice and soothing beat. And... what DAW did you use? And if you used VSTs, which ones. Respect (5/5)
FL studio, sylenth and nexus for piano probably
