"sounds awesome bro"

date: August 20, 2008

hey great tune man. probably my favorite from you. Sounds like it came straight out of a Tim Burton movie haha. I can almost see some clay pirates dancing around on a ship haha.

Great piano melody, the bassline was could, but the rhythm was pretty generic and could use more variation eventually. (and I wouldnt mind see those lower notes built into some chords every now and then). I like the marching rhythm on that thin percussive instrument, sounds great in the start. Sounds really great when the piano harmonizes and echoes throughout, would have to say the strings work decently in the background.

Really liked the interlude section, that melody sounded really creepy and the way the notes kind of skip around makes it remind me of a Tim Burton movie. Choir also adds a nice eerie layer. Percussion rhythms are great in that area, I'd say you've improved hear loads. I like what you did with the timpanis/toms. You put that drummer to good work haha. Crashes were sequenced quite well.

like a review said below, some tweaks could be done in here. I would definetly make the crashes louder, maybe switch between two different cymbals and pan them. slightly boost the mid frequencies and then defintely flunctuate the dynamics more...the strings too, sound very weak. Make them louder, apply a chorus effect before the reverb and possibly fill out some of the lower registers to make them thicker and more powerful. The piece is on the edge of being epic it just needs a stronger support structure to carry out those awesome melodical lines.

The timpani rolls in the end was great, and I like how you guys ended the song but I would have brought in the strings earlier to make it variate more from the intro, or instead just kept the thin percussion thingy playing its rhythm.

I'd also throw a nice bassline in the interlude section, a basoon would be sweet at that part (I believe squidfont has a basoon?) IMO.

but seriously WF1/Tell great work here congrats on the top 5!!!! (and the top 30 I mean 20 too lol!!!!)

2.12 >_> looks like the zero voters were out tongiht...my five raised it only to a 2.63

Umm, the track was kinda generic, and not very well produced. 'tis okay.

The guitar chord progression at the start was pretty bland by itself, fit a bassline to play on the offbeats or in between the chords. The piano melody was okay, but there wasnt generally enough substance to carry the piece around. I would try to work a more complex rhythm theme or something in there, it just felt real lacking. Develop the piano more, if you use the playlist in FL develop one section at time in one pattern, or dedicate 3 or 4 patterns to an alteration of the melody.

the interlude with the bells and strings was pretty boring, as it lacked any of the elements described above and was devoid of interesting harmony. (dont copy and paste the melody into a seperate channel, instead, it would be more interesting if you developed some harmony) The section after that, you definetly had something going. I really liked the lead in the next section, and the layered pattern made the overall mix a bit more full.

Also, drum patterns, pretty much the same throughout, 'cept at the end. Definetly develop more drum patterns. it was basically kick, snare, kick snare...throughout. Why not kick kick snare every now and then. Something simple as a crash every 16 bars can break the repetition. And throw in some fills in between some transitions too, and it never to early to mess with dynamics/note velocities to get a more realistic drum texture.

as far as the sound quality goes, piano could definetly use some reverb and it would sound less cheap, pan some of the synths to get more of defined sound. that'll do for now. i also have heard these sytrus presets and FPC drums over and over again, everyone used them at once, but what i'm getting too is its never too early too start developing your own sounds or just tweaking the synths around a little to give it your own flair. ...so if youre interested, look up "blackhole12 sytrus" tutorial or look up a 3xosc on the web.

sorry if this was too much advice if youre just screwin around for fun, i tend to relay too much information when not necessary. if you didnt understand anything of this feel free to send a shout my way. keep on FL'in it up.
