I made this track for this new project going on over at the roxorgames forums. Look out!

Tell me what you all think.

I like how at the beginning part, the Drums seem to be more of a melody than the synth. Guitar part is pretty cool, but after that, it just sort of feels a bit boring. It just felt like things ran out of gas.

Nice ideas before then, though. It was certainly a high-energy track.

Hm... maybe throwing in more bass power would help. Like adding another synth or something for bass alone. It would help make things more full, and that would give you something to work with for the final portion, which just feels like it's missing something.

Very interesting. I realy liked the drilling. The drum pattern is pretty varied which is a good thing ^_^. Slayer eh.. :P. I did like the guitar part actually.

Over all, pretty good. Needs something else though... I cant put my finger on it at the moment.

I really like the synth work in this one, the guitar is well placed sounds awesome. Is there any chance at a longer version of this?

Definitely very well produced. My only suggestion is to vary your melodies a little more to keep it interesting. I could kind of predict where the song was going in the middle and end. I don't like to be able to predict how music plays the first time I listen to it. Vary the melodies in a longer version maybe, and you've got a gem.

I am going to vary the melody some because I finally realized how repetative it is

So far I didn't have any plans to make a long version, but I just might since so many are requesting it

Updated with new melody (same synth though cause I like how it sounds)

but anyway listen again and see what you think now, pwease

Although your new updated version is better than your original, you still have the same problem (maybe I should have clarified this better before). You need to vary your chords used in the song. It's just the same 4 chords over and over again. Granted you did vary your lead melody around the chord to make it not so obvious, it's still there. Try varying the actual chords you use. Also now that I think about it, you should try to add a little distortion to the instruments and leads to give it more of that "dnb" feel. That's more of an opinion than a fact though. But use different chords as you progess in the song. That's my only real complaint.

K, changed the chords around a bunch so check it out yet again =o

don't know if i went too far with it at the first half of the song but I thought it sounded good

WOW~!!! Just listened to the updated one... AMAZING my friend!

Good job!

**helix eternal** · 11-13-2006, 03:19 PM

Thanks Meas!

Much much better I think. You've done about as much as you can do with a short version. Definitely extend this out in the near future.

OK, listening now...

The sound is uberplastic, I think it could be a concept, but it sounds a bit "rough" and dry. Some instruments needs more reverb to soften their sound.

I don't like synth melody cuz it have some false notes... it disturbs a lot. And of course you musn't use Slayer at least without some guitar processor like Amplitube or Guitar Rig. Better just take BooBass and use processors I've listed.

You've reached a nice energy, but this track needs some more work. Don't stop and keep it up!
