Judge: Moyes ,Glen The drum beat was good, but the kick drum sounded too high. Overall, some instruments sounded really chippy. There volumes just broke off. You used the same drum beat too often (the whole song). I found that most of the enjoyment from this came mostly from the rythmn. Now if the rythmn is the most important element in your song, should the rythmn sound good alone? I listen to all the part indivually, with no back-up. What you need to do, is just that. Make sure all the parts sound good alone, and sound good together. That might be hard, but BOY is it worth it. Some chords might also be nice in the song. It sounded kind of dry, especially the beggining. Other than that, the song was very enjoyable, even more so toward the end. I was tapping my foot the entire time. Good job. Make every element of you music as good as the rythmn was. |
Judge: Mcnab ,Scott This is a good song with excellent attention to detail. The overly abrupt drums however were a little distracting and hard on the ears when carried throughout the whole song. They suited the introduction well but would have been better if they had changed to different samples for the body of the song. It is however an excellent song for a rookie author and there is no doubt of the potential of the composer. |
Judge: Ladanyi ,Michael The choir background sample is a little annoying. A soft single string sample would probably fit better. The voice sample in the middle doesn't really suit the song. It takes too long to develop the themes and becomes somewhat boring. |
Judge: Burrell ,Mike Nice rhythm to this song. The chord progressions were well-defined and backed up the melody with a lot of strength. The melody was pleasant to listen to. The biggest problem was that it carried on too long and strayed too far from the nice rhythm that was evident in the beginning of the song. The intro was absolutely horrible: it seemed very little effort was put into it...if you're going to make it simple and clean, you could at least add some very subtle reverb or echoing to it to give it some depth. You'd have been better off just breaking into the main part of the song, around order 3 or 4 or something like that. The ironic part is that overall the song was too complex. The melody, the percussion, and all the strong parts of the sound were cloaked by too much happening. Try this song again in 10 channels. |
Judge: Noel ,Elliott interesting chip leads, strange beat, a little too repetitive could use some technical improvements little voice sample is extremelly silly. percussion/beat too repetitive overall fairly good for rookie. |
Judge: West ,David A decent song. The samples could've used a lot of work. Nice beat. The melody was okay and fit with the chord progressions. The percussion was original. Good luck on your next song! |
