at first i didnt read the authors comments

and see that you put the quotes and references in there. I was like OMFG at the TLS quote, and at first, made me question if the rest of it was gonna be nothing but quotes and stuff. BUT i later read the authors comments afterwards and noticed you did it on purpose, so im not so mad at that anymore. other than that, BADASS. cant wait for the next one!

freeworldgroup responds:

thanks - the music was great and worked very well with the final level. The game isn't impossible - it just takes good timing to get through.

Sounds to me like you were going for a Happy-Hardcore styled song. It's really catchy, and I like how you incorporated the drum loops and glitching effects. That middle section was probably my favorite, but overall, I feel this is a pretty solid track. Perhaps only a slightly lower BPM would have made this a little easier to follow, because there is a lot going on.

One thing to look for is volume levels of everything. Everything sounds like it's on top of each other, and they are all fighting each other to be hear over the others. Just play around with sound levels and panning (very minimal panning) to try and give each sound its own "place" in everything. Keep it up though, this was great!

feandesign responds:

Thanks! I wasn't really thinking of Happy Hardcore when making this song, I was rather going for the Dimrain47/NightHawk22 style but you could technically tell this is Happy Hardcore. I love putting drum loops and glitch effects over pretty much everything as long as it sounds good! I'm glad you liked that little drum'n'bass section, I spent some time figuring out how to make a nice drum loop out of those free samples. Maybe it's just me but I personally don't think it deserves a slower pace, I already got used to listening to tracks as fast as this one, although I probably wouldn't mind going somewhere between 170 and 190bpm.
Mixing and mastering is sadly something I still struggle with the most. It could be because of what I'm using to produce my tracks - a pair of headphones. My speakers wouldn't be really good either, I barely even use them. For now it's just the Ozone limiter that makes my songs sound less miserable when it comes to mastering. Thank you again for the review!

I feel like this could swell up towards the end, with everything kinda falling into each other and then that silent bit transitions to a jazzier version of the chord progression you have here without the pads in the background (or at least with them taken further back). Lots of room for some interesting drum rolls and syncopated timing! Awesome track, and what it leaves for the imagination is just as fun!

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you bro.

Very much a demo/throwaway. I throw bad and good up these days, too old to care lol. I like this but I have no commitment to it. There's an idea for a better player or a different time.

Genuinely glad you like it, happy you took a tone and atmosphere. my only goal.

[Solace]

Im really diggin the acoustic percussion here. The overall feel is pretty haunting in such a chill way. I think you couldv'e gotten away with a slighty deeper/fuller sounding kick drum, but that's personal opinion, and this one works just as well! Enjoyed it!

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you. Key aim is always atmosphere.

Everything you point out is on point. I'll be refining this, it's nice to see others acknowledge what I pick out, it means our ears are working.

Thanks
