While this is a good, original, and kicking piece, it lacks substance.
What I would recommend is keeping what you have, but layering more with it, even if it has to sit in the background. There just needs to be more presence within the piece to add texture to this foreground lead you're running.
All in all, though, it's a good piece.

"Some real thought was put into this"
I have to say, I don't think I've heard as interesting of a rendition as this in some time.
The mixing was flawless as well as well compressed. The composition of it was quite original, along with the use of synths to create a darkened ambience.
Great job, SBB! Keep it up!

Well glad you liked it! You're right about me putting thought into this- actually it's the only track I think I could remix well, as it's usually played in the sky (it's the music playing in the warp zone which is in the sky rite) in it's original state :D

...You got one, along with a report for using copyrighted audio material in a mashed up crap heap.
Sorry, buddy, but all you did was use protected audio to mesh together a piece that has no coherence, consistency, and not even good mixing. It peaks like a nuclear exposion and displays a total lack of creativity, let alone ambition.

If you make this stuff when you're bored, consider putting more time into it. Your "boredom" pieces actually have good potential that you begin to dig into then quit.
I would seriously recommend spending more time on these projects and developing them. You have something good going here.

Hmmm. I'll look into making some of these longer.
Thanks for the score man, really means a lot to me.

This piece is not only well composed, but it's also mixed to absolute perfection.
Gotta love rock songs that are political in more ways than one. If you have an album, I'd be interested in buying it.
Keep up the good work.

Haha, yeah, it's a hate song, made kind of general so that anyone can relate. Thanks alot for the feedback, I'll get more uploaded tomorrow and the next.

This was a good try, but there are some things you have to consider.
Firstly, the synth that opened this piece needs more attack on it; it's far too soft for the role it's trying to play. Secondly, the drum loop is perfectly compressed, but with a song that's not well compressed, it brings itself violently into the foreground which is a bad thing.
Keep practicing. It seems to me that you don't have much experience in techno, so it's normal for the first few projects to be learning experiences.

I know your thoughts on it (judging from the description), so I probably won't say anything that hasn't already occured to you.
I do, however, have to commend you for your vocal recording skills. I still haven't gotten that perfected yet. The problem in this song doesn't lie in the vocals, but in the music.
The composition's not thorough, and the guitars are nowhere near as loud and forefront as they should be. Furthermore, FL Slayer is the worst fucking VSTi ever for guitars (although I'm sure other people know worse ones).
So, twas a noble effort, but at least you recognized that it's not exactly the best work you've done.
Author's Response:
Your certainly right, and like I said, we wrote this crap in four hours, and I wrote the music in about 1, so I didnt bother trying to make the guitars sound good. I do have to disagree with you though, you can make Slayer sound good if you put some effort into it, listen to some of my other stuff - thats all slayer - but yeah, thanks for checking it out dude, I appreciate it.

This is most definitely an interesting track. It has a flow that you can actually follow (which seems to be where many techno artists in NG fall short). The lyrics are fun and the recording quality is seriously professional.
This is not a piece to be ashamed of; actually it's one that you could use to make an image.
Good work!

This is definitely a unique piece, although there's not really anything about that really stands out to me. I'm not saying it's bad, but it hits me as a sort of cliche. Then again, that's probably just me.
This would be best suited in a Silent Hill spinoff deal, though, seeing as how it has its abstract vibe about it.

I can tell the booms were peaking before they were clipped; that's not good in the realm of mixing. There are ways to EQ and compress these sounds to give them the forefront punch without compromising their sound.
Altogether, though, the composition was genius and worthy of the title "Final Battle". It really drives with a sort of battle-like madness.
Keep it up!
Author's Response:
Yes, I noticed that the booms sounded a little bad--but by the time I did notice, I had already closed down my FL Studio demo >:( I've got to get some cash.
Thanks for the high score and review, though--I really appreciate it.
