Whoah! - 2nd song for ddr Comp

DJ SymBiotiX · 02-28-2008, 01:16 PM

Alright, style is... I have no clue. Probably closer to a slowish happy hardcore / house.. / something? really if anybody has any clue as to the style/genre of this, let me know :P

Anyways, its a pretty fun 5/4 type song. Kinda bouncy, interesting rythms and the such.

I havent been able to master it up with my usual speakers (only head phones so far), but I'll probably do so sometime this weekend.

Let me know what I could fix/improve, you know the drill :P.

DJ SymBiotiX - Whoah!

I dunno, maybe it's just me but the 5/4 time signature just doesn't work for me. It doesn't seem to flow fluently.

The song is cute and neat, but it becomes kind of boring after a certain point. Everything sounds a bit too similar and repetitive. Also, the piano is really great, love it.

Overall however, it doesn't seem to have that dance feeling at all. I never really got pumped up listening to it. This is by no means bad, but I don't think it's suitable for DDR without some crucial changes.

Nonetheless, it's a really good song.

as for the ddrness of the song, Im going for more of a unique feel instead of a dancy feel. I dunno lol, I figure it will be a unique entry in the grand scheme of things.

The problem is that konami never puts in songs that are unique or different in a DDR game.

To be honest, this would fit much better in ITG or Pump it up anyway.

DJ SymBiotiX · 02-28-2008, 08:38 PM

I might be wrong, but I remember there are a good amout of unique/different songs in ddr every once and again

Tomorrow Forever isn't unique?

I have mixed feelings about this track. I honestly just don't like the style.

Piano is way too loud. It practically crashed into my monitors when it was introduced.

You have interesting melodies (especially towards the end), but man, a lot of this sounds......really cheap. I'm not sure if you were aiming for that, but it doesn't sound good to me.

I prefer you other track to be frank

Well I was pretty sure I was going to receive pretty white/black comments about this song. I think its just one of those things you either love or hate.

Personally I love it :P, I think its a new concept. I know I havent really heard anything like it before.

Actually listening now.

I strongly agree about the sounds sounding cheap. This honestly sounds really amateur. There's no real depth to the music. It's been called unique in this thread, but I can't find anything unique about it. It just sounds like an extremely generic piece translated into 5/4, and that itself is in some points done poorly. There also seems to be very little depth to most of it in the first place.

I apologize, but this is no winner.

DJ SymBiotiX · 03-01-2008, 12:33 PM

Well, I'll just take all this criticism just as that, criticism. The fact is, Ive had some people tell me they love it, and others tell me they hate it (like all you guys). Which pretty much tells me exactly what I said above, its pretty much a black/white type of song. Obviously, this isnt the community that enjoys something like this, and its not like anybody has to like it.
Thanks for the comments anyways

Edit: Also, song names dont need proper spelling! :P

Yeah, if you're black! lol jk

The only important thing is if you like the song.

WEABOO · 03-01-2008, 02:50 PM

Yeah true

I know the mood is happy, but it doesn't evoke a feeling - if that makes any sense. I know what it's supposed to be, but I'm not smiling (just listening intently.)

You vary things up a lot, which is good, but because of that, it also feels a bit improvised. Spontaneity is always good, but it doesn't come together to portray a theme. I don't ever really get a feel for a direction with the song.

Sorry, dude. Much love, but I have to sit this one out too.
