[Psychadelika - Frag]

coo'

hehe, pretty funky, i like the electrofunk mix.
i like the drum kit and synth mix, however suggestion time-
about 1:46 it gets good, but in the beginning the funk lead alone sounds wierd and empty, you need to throw the drums in a little earlier, and have some more instruments come in.

structure can be hard sometimes, but that's all you have to work at, the rythm and melody is cool.

Speculant responds:

thanks for the review, im still learning.

[[VN]-Unleash the Fury]

hmm.

first of all, and this is IMPORTANT: in the beginning there's an organ synth, and a piano, well... the piano is off time, the organ is doing something and the piano is doing something else

and everything from then on is off time

it sounds to me like you grabbed a bunch of loops and stuck them together without beatmatching...

sorry, not my cup of tea.
next time? Make your own sounds! start off with a drumkit and go into piano roll and have some fun, then throw more things together, and some effects.
loops can be deadly if you dont know how to beatmatch.

VNStudios responds:

None of this was made with loops. I found many different soundfonts, used some Sytrus,3xosc,TS404, and some other VSTs I found on the internet. I pianoroll to make the melodies and then play around with the effects on the mixer. To me, the sounds seemed to correspond fine, but I'm not any music expert so I could be wrong. Like I said in the author comments, it's only a work in progress (we might actually never finish it). Anyway, I would like to thank you for your honest review. Maybe one day we can improve this song.
