Nice sweeps...

Keep it up. You'll be sure to take over the Metal section!!!

[Old Man Grunge(Updated3)]

Again....

I wouldn't mind doing the drums to these songs.... lemme know.

-Joel

[Opposite of Pro]

We should collab.

Those drums are weaksauce compared to your shredzzzz bro. I'm a drummer/AE that would LOVE an opportunity to make some toonage. You know who I am. ;-) (from the BBS)

Hey man, thanks for the review! If you wanna lay down some some sweet drum tracks, I'd be totally interested in working with you. Guitar pro's drums leave a little something to be desired. Plus you know, my writing.

Throw me a PM or somethin man.

[{Ceb} Sorry Julie]

Good song....

It seems a litle lacking in top end though. Especially on the drums. They're also way too quiet. I think the high synth is just a *tad* too high level-wise. I'd add a little bit of 1khz-5khz (you'll have to hunt) for the kick to have a slight "click".

Also, I'd add a little automation to break up the sections/instruments....that's just me though. All in all pretty good though. Kudos!

[audio collab evil jrhager]

Not bad at all....

I would like to keep the first dancey part without guitars, so it doesn't sound the same the whole way through. I'd say the intro, let the dance part go, do a one measure intro into the breakdown (maybe 2 if it sounds good). Then riff it up (You can add more than one guitar part you know) and leave the outro very basic so we can tie it all up. let me know if that makes sense....

[be happy i love you]

Not bad...

The biggest thing I'm not hearing is reverb. Your guitar(?) tracks are very try, and VERY percussive. I'd do two things to really even out the track.

1. Add a reverb track on an FX channel.
1a. Buss (send) the guitars, piano, and a touch of the drums (minus the kick) into it
1b. Adjust to taste (i'd say less than 2 seconds with a fairly steep decay)

2. Use a compressor with a very quick attack setting to tame the transients on the guitars. They won't make our ears bleed as much. LOL

Do those 2 things, and I think the song would sound 1000x better IMO.

[The Phatt Bass Theme Recall]

I love bass.......so

...you gets an A+. I like the melodic part in the middle as well. Good job!

Johan1993 responds:

Okey, thank you :D

[PlatinumTechnololzbeet]

Not bad for a first submission!

Could use a little cleanup with the shuffled hats, I like your use of autopan... Mixing could be a touch better, but I've never used Mixcraft, so I don't even know what that is... Either way, good job!

-Joel

[Final Fantasy: Chaos Theo]

I like it!

Sounds good. I like your use of dynamics... very nice!

-Joel 5/5
