Great

The "pings" you used make me laugh for some reason! I liked this song- it isn't too repetitive; you keep it fresh! I don't have any advice for you. Just keep it up!

Well...

It was...ok. I think that your idea for a song is good, but it definitely needs some working on to get to a final cut.
-All your audio is coming out of one side of the speakers. Check your settings on your Midi box or in Audacity to make sure you are equalized. If nothing else, double the track, have one be faded left and one faded right.
-Try to get some drums in your song. I think Audacity has a drum machine, I'm not sure. If not, get FL studio.
-Your guitar is a little fuzzy. Try to get it a little cleaner by playing with filters in Audacity.
-If your entry is supposed to be a loop, it doesn't do a very good job of looping seamlessly. Try adding another picky part at the end if you truly want it to loop well.
-It's too short!! I think once everything is said and done, this could be a really good song if you make it longer!

Good luck! I hope that I helped a bit!!

Thank you for your advice. I noticiced that it was all coming out of one side but i think thats down to my input jack being damaged slightly. I think that it can be remedied in post production though. Sadly my version of audacity has no drum machine but ParlorMonkey has offered to record some drums for me.

Very nice!!

This song is pretty good! It reminds me of one of those old side-scrolling fighting games! I personally don't like when songs fade out, but that's just me. That's the ONLY thing I didn't like! Keep it up!!

>.<

I liked the melody, but I feel the 16-bit aspect could have been toned down. It reminded me of bagpipe with the constant drone of a single note in the background.

JoeSomebody2 responds:

Bagpipes rock!...Don't they? :D

It's good, but...

In the beginning I think that the transition from hardcore bass beat to piano melody was too abrupt. This happened later on as well, it's just not as stark as in the beginning. I like that your entry doesn't suffer from "Blink 182 syndrome" and I like the vocals, but something is wrong with the echo because at some points it completely clashes with the beat.

Thank you for your comments.
I the beginning I wanted the transition to be abrupt but I could see what you mean that this may not be favorable; Mostly I was experimenting with less transitioning to see if I could keep the song interesting all throughout (by not having as much repetition.)
And I agree the vocals sometimes clash with the beat and I will take that into consideration for further entries.

Pretty Good!

I think you did a pretty good job at making a "feel good" song that doesn't sound a kid's song. I like the beat behind it as well!
The only thing I would suggest is to try and change things up a little more; There are points within the song where I think "Yeah, I get the idea..." Try thinking about changing something (possibly a major change) every two or four measures- that way it keeps the song fresh through the entire song!
Overall, it was pretty good though!!

Headbangin' goodness...

Man, this is really good!
I think that putting in some vocals would make it better, but that's my opinion. Also, I think the resolution could be a little stronger.
Otherwise, this is a great entry
\m/ (^.^) \m/

Good

It's good for what you want to use it for- I can definitely see it in a my-father-is-dying scene in a movie.
I think it could be improved however; maybe if you were to add a dramatic build and then a resolution to the climax at the end. Think of a part in the move where the dying person is about to tell someone something VERY important, but then dies before saying it...
It loops well though- props for that! lol

BudGPStudios responds:

I could make an extended version, I just put this together in 30 minutes trying to make an opening for my movie, but the chords were too depressing, so I just made it as this.

Great, but...

Your song is awesome, but it's unfortunate that a lot of the techno songs here have what I call the "Blink 182 syndrome", where the bass line is the exact same four chords repeated throughout the entire piece. For me, that makes the songs less enjoyable, but I liked what you did with the rest of the song! The FX were fantastic!

Awesome in every way

I agree with memea: did you use some of the same fx that are in Submachine (2 I think)?
Either way, VERY good!!
