To me this sounds like more of a pirate theme than a fox theme. my only issue with the song is the part at 1:24-1:38, it sounds a little empty compared to the rest of the song.

Preds responds:

Thanks for the review! And yeah I added "Fox" to the name because it's a series, like Pirate Fox or Astro Fox :D

really good track

my only problem with it is some of the hi-hats are a bit too prominent compared to the rest of the mix. i feel like lowering the volume on it or filtering it a bit would improve that.

the bassline does get a bit repetivive in parts but it is pretty catchy. I like the part at 2:42 with the pitch tuned bass.

great neurofunk, im really liking that heavy bass.

however i have to dock some stars because of the vocal clip right at the start. while it does fit with the theme of the song the voice clip itself is really unfitting in the mix and stands out too much (especially at 0:19 -0:27) . The voice clip comes back later in the song at 2:08 and fits a little better there, but i still feel like the clip itself should be excluded.

maybe instead of playing the (mostly) full audio clip you could cut out sections and play them throughout the song.

I could see myself rating this higher if that voice clip was not in there

I like it, sound quality/clarity is definitely there. Sounds like something you would hear from a pro studio.

The pad that comes in at 0:19 sounds great, builds perfectly. I enjoyed the bass/lead that starts at 0:58. Not overwhelming but dirty enough to make it sound good.

If i were to criticize anything it would probably be the overall bass. While it's not necessarily bad, I feel could be a tad stronger. Perhaps a low/deep bassline on top of everything else to give it a bit more sub.

first of all, I'm digging the deep reverb. For orchestrated songs like this having good reverb is very important and right away, I think you nailed it.

The sound quality is also very good, the song has a very nice sounding lead violin and its accompanied by a solid bass.

The piano is very subtle and really adds to the overall atmosphere to make it feel more epic.

I can picture in my head a lord of the rings-like atmosphere with a party heading towards a mountain off in the distance, not knowing what to expect.

I like this, orchestrated music is one of my favorites.

Interesting. You have blended a few different things here, was not expecting that.

The beginning made me think this was going to be an acid-ish song but once it hits 0:13 you can hear that bass in the background that shows it is actually (very well done) modern dubstep.

I feel like there are some samples you used that are a little on the loud side but I do know songs like this are typically very loud so it's not uncommon. The entire mix has a very loud-looking waveform.

Aside from the volume problem that may not even really be a "problem" this is a pretty good song, although very short. but I assume it's because you have not finished it yet.

I like where this is going. This style is something i enjoy. There are some points i think you should work on though.

-Add a little more reverb to some of the orchestrated sounds, you might be amazed what just a touch of reverb can do for orchestrals.

-Add more bass orchestration. A deep bass sound every 4 bars or so help you feel the rhythm of the plucks and other sounds better.

- mix up the drums a bit. you basically use the same drum beat the whole time. for example at 0:36 you could transition into a new drum beat or add more layers onto your current drum beat.

It's good but still needs work. I do like what you got here and hope you build it up more.

Plysander responds:

These are some good pointers and exactly what Im looking for! Thanks a bunch

Cheers

interesting enough.

This sounds alot like something you would hear a DJ play at a party or a bar. It's got a very clean and well mastered flow that would fit that kind of scene.

I do have a little bit of criticism. It's more of a personal opinion but i feel like the song has too much overall volume, mainly on the lead synth. The bass I feel could shine a little more in the mix if the lead wasn't drowning it out a bit. However, it is very common to do that with this style of house music.

ill give it a 9/10.

also seems like an incomplete song so I am guessing the full song is on itunes?

DJ-Doty responds:

Thank you very much for your feedback! It is actually this length on iTunes due to my general fan base not liking intros, outros and repetitiveness during my tracks. Don't think my music's going to be played at any festival or club anytime soon so I tend to just leave them out. Thanks for the 9/10 rating! Means a lot. Have a great day. :)

pretty nice.

I like the ambient atmosphere, this feels to me like your moving through a densely foggy area with city ruins appearing out of the fog.

I feel like this could use a little more pad orchestration to make it feel more full, currently it feels fairly empty.

The drums that come in about halfway are pretty nice for the atmosphere. you could expand it further and add in subtle cymbals and hi hats. Combine this with a strong pad and you will have a nice sound.

You have managed to achieve both an ambient and unsettling song, which is interesting. Regardless, I still enjoyed it despite it being a WIP.

Teckmo-X responds:

I see what you mean but this is just a sample for my friends Unreal Engine project. Hopefully I can put more work into it and release more new work of my own. I've been off newgrounds a while so let's just see where things go.

Right off the bat the quality of your instruments and drums are fantastic. Mastering is very well done, Loving the cinematic feel.

To me this sounds like menu music to a medieval game. But you could also use it on a battle scene, it sounds like it would fit well in any game within that genre.

From the name it seems like you were going for a feeling of a massive army marching into battle which I can easily picture in my mind listening to this. You could probably dub this over a battle scene from a movie and it would fit well.

I can't really think of any criticisms for this, it sounds very clean and well orchestrated. Ill give you a 10.

Qu4drupleForte responds:

Thanks for the 10, bud! Clean is probably the best I could hope for in these kinda tracks where things get super busy and it's hard to preserve the clarity of layered parts. To me the blaring french horns in this piece always gave me a kinda piratey vibe but the rest does lend itself more to that medieval imagery.

Music for your Mind.
