lets break it down shall we?
now, i really liked this song, i really did. you guys did a fantastic job with it. though i did feel it wasn't entirely up to snuff to what it could be. not to say it was bad, i downloaded it and it will go on my ipod :) but a few things could have been different and/or better
let me give you some of my thoughts on whatcha have here:
LEADS - your lead is a very good strong point for this song, and the choice of instrument you used is superb, it fits perfectly! you get a double thumbs up from me for that lead alone :) one of the best lead's ive heard in a DNB song.
but, i did feel the way it slowly comes in at the beginning was a little off, it probably would have sounded better not to have the gradual transition and to just let it play. its not a bad transition but it could have been different.
BASS - Also well done, the bass fits in pretty well with everything else. i love the note placement too :P its not just a single bassline it changes a bit and thats a good thing.
PADS - I don't really hear many if any pads, pads make a song sound great, i think you could have added in a pad at 0:37 and let it play for that sequence. like maybe a choir.
i did hear a pad come in after that part though and it does sound pretty darn good :P
DRUMS - your kick was a little weak, the snare fits well as does the hi-hat. i might suggest turning up the kick volume a little. most good DNB songs tend to have easier to hear drum kicks that flow well.
MASTERING - Sounds great, good job on mastering it :) no sounds seem to stand out too much or too little, except the drum but only a little bit.
NAME - ok not really a category but i did feel your name "beyond control" was a bit off, doesn't sound like a fitting name for this song. you should try to think of the theme of the song and what it sounds like.
like for example, this makes me think of a futuristic race, so if i were to name it i would pick something like "race of the future" or something along that line, i think you get what im saying.
MOOD - Great mood for this song, relaxing, yet hyper. thats always a good thing, especially with a DNB song.
LENGTH - too short! D: i can definitely enjoy it as is but i would like to have enjoyed it a bit longer, you know what im saying? though the length is pretty good for a game if someone were to use it. you should consider uploading a 3-4 minute version. i would totally check that out :P
THINGS THAT WERE MISSING (no my caps lock isn't broken, it just turns on whenever it wants to, which happens to be when im picking a category :P)
i think that you could have added some stuff to this and it would possibly make the song sound a little better. this includes:
-bells - it would have sounded pretty awesome to add some bell sounds in at around 1:02. im not talking bells like what you would hear in a clock tower i mean like chimes or something along that line.
-Piano - a piano, for sure, adds flavor to most any song. though it might not work with the mood a piano might have sounded cool if you did some low notes at one or two spots or even a high note during that break at 1:00.
-some extra notes on the intro
this is something i noticed adds a cool little punch to an intro most of the time. when your intro is building up it would be cool to mix in some high and low notes right before the drums come in, or even like a violin or something.
anyway this review is reaching the end of the character limit so lets wrap things up :D
LEAD: well done! i like it alot and not much else i can say about it!
2/2
BASS: also well done and, once again, not much else i can say about it!
2/2
MASTERING: nothing seems to be too loud or too quiet, except for the aforementioned drum kick
2/2
LENGTH: i did feel it was a bit too short and cut off too fast, you should really consider re-uploading a longer length version
1/2
OVERALL: excellent song, i am downloading it and putting on my ipod, you also get a 5 and a favorite from me :D
2/2
you don't have to but if you don't mind could you review my song "BIT.TRIP part 2 - CORE"? i wanna hear what ppl think :)
