Judge: Glines ,Mark First impressions are good. Some effort went into the beat, and the rest of the song as well. Has a good beginning, the song body is nice and fast, while still managing to change a lot. I am not bored listening to this song. On the contrary, its easy and fun to listen to. Love the sudden bass drum kicking in around track 16/17. Cool song. |
Judge: Nel ,Jonathan Songs should always make the listener WANT to keep listening, and the piano you used made me want to stop. When you add a lead like that piano, it normally helps to change it now and then, even if you shift it up 2 notes, just some variation. Song structure is also a problem, there is no chorus or build up, and i did not understand what the first 4 patterns were for...an intro, and then complete silence? Some of the instruments are played out tune, and i recommend trying to track a cover of your favorite "real" song in Impulse tracker, this will teach you structure, how to choose samples that fit together and also how to use Impulse Trackers many effects. Good Luck. |
Judge: Voois ,Vincent *File Specs* [Additional vote] ... [Filename]m6r-nwar.it [Title]Neutron Warriors. [General comment]Well i guess the musical experience in feeling for harmony and feeling for musical note progressions definately need quite some development here, i can not teach you, fortunately a lot of good examples can show you that. Your feeling for rythem is okay, you seem to be capable of adding some sfx here and there. You add good breaks between your transitions but your chording and melodic themes are drasticly out of shape, don't play too much with panning and keep your instrumental arrangement solid thru-out the whole song as much as possible. Playing percussion right and then left is not only annoying also confusing, you are allowed to play with Sfx in the way you want, they give you the dynamics of "fooling" around in your song since sfx (soundeffects) don't require rules of usage but do try to make them fit into the scenario of your transition. |
Judge: Pinkas ,JanPinky Good used voice samples combinating good drums. But I haven't understood the 'intro?' to song. Where is the end?? |
