Re: Songs We're Making & Creating

Oh cool!
I wish I could contribute to the next volume but
I am not very good at creating music. D:
Purely lyrical verses are okay, right?

Re: Songs We're Making & Creating

Listening to it now. Will edit this post with further thoughts.  tongue

1) These Shades: good intro to the album, it's like a weird kind of dubstep  smile

2) Under the Trees: Awesome chiptune, would be great song for a scratch game even

3) Underage: Another cool chiptuney thing  big_smile

4) Heartbeat of the galaxy: This sounds really neat, building the suspense and everything!  wink

5) With a Twist of Lemon: Zesty!!!  tongue

6) Failed Experiment: Cool synth sounds, with awesome stereo and professional sounding finish  smile

7) Ace of Errors: Despite the 'Errorish' sound, the background melody is really cool!

8) Orca: This is like a slow dance beat right? Wait, now I hear more dubstepish stuff  tongue  Awesome ending bit!

9) h84c%^,r;: Creepy ambient music O_o

10) Farewell my Friend: So cool to have a refresher after all the electronic music, but it sounds like the kind of music that would be played in a dungeon RPG game or something lol

11) Flash: Awesome Riff!!!!

12) Blank Page: Kind of dull, but first lyrics on the album  tongue

13) Anthemic: Great rhyming and rhythm and vocal harmonic, kinda needs a wider stereo though.

14) More than one letter: Too disharmonic :s

15) Is that enough: Catchy music, could do with better vocals

16) While My Guitar Gently Weeps: My song  tongue

17) The Crownless: Good piano music.

18) Do I have to?: Great song, I like it a lot and it's catchy. The rhythm guitar is cool!

19) The answer is no: Weird song... interesting to listen to.

20) Submarine: Cool stereo effects, though I'm not a big fan of electronic music...

21) untitled: Interesting, but it seems a bit quiet  tongue

22) Ultrasound House: It would be good video game music  big_smile

23)

Re: Songs We're Making & Creating

I'm going to pretend that These Shades was a single for this album because it is track 01 and declare that the best decision ever made

What's the runtime?

Re: Songs We're Making & Creating

Alright, I just skim-listened through it; dumping my thoughts.

____________________________

These Shades: wat

Under the Trees: Nice intro. Would sound lovely with some bass. Bass it's where it's at. B)

underageb&: would make an awesome boss tune.

The Heartbeat of the Galaxy: Also severely lacking bass!

With a Twist of Lemon: Catchy riff. Suffers from nobassitis as well. :c

Failed Experiment: Nice riff, would be much better if it were longer and drums kicked in, while still playing the intro riff.

Acë öf Errörs: the idea is nice but gets boring after a while. Hadn't listened to it 'till now.

Orca: I have listened to this one and it's a great song. Very progressive and catchy throughout. c:

h84c%^,r;: Oooh ambient-ish  big_smile  Evokes images of a forest or something; I'd see it as a exploration tune, if you know what I mean.

Farewell my Friend: This one's beautiful. :'3

Flash: I see you're using Noteflight. Well, the song's great; catchy intro riff and some jazzy chords in between.

Blank Page: Nice, can't make out the vocals though. Typical campfire-ish (? I don't even know what it's about) song in the end

Anthemic: You guys already know what I know about this one; great song, vocals and mixing could be better (actually pretty much everything in this compo could've been mixed better)

More than one letter (like two letters): I'm "wat"-ing at this one. Eh, free time ftw I guess?

Is That Enough?: "like two letters, is that enough?"  tongue  Can barely make this song out.  hmm

While My Guitar Gently Weeps: I don't know the Beatles' original (I'm dead serious), but it's a nice cover, if you played the instruments that is

The Crownless: Really liking this one aside from the mic's tone. If Google's right, it's soundtrack for a movie?

Do I Have To?: Great start, and riffs! "And the answer will be no?" oh wait-

The Answer is No: ...This definitely was intentional. Nice song

Submarine: Lovely chips. Didn't think a square wave with delay would sound good until now. Nice.  big_smile

Grav's (untitled): Good ol' FL Slayer. Repetitive but good; catchy.

Ultrasound House: oh boy this one's much louder than the rest of the album. I'm not to judge my own song but, idk, listening to this after all of yours' makes me realize I'm a very repetive composer.

Solace: The intro gets on my nerves from the repetitive. D: Nice ambient-ish pads after it though

pony cheese: pony cheese, po-nee chee-seh

____________________

In conclusion: Don't ignore the bass asdgaegetgscefcgwrwl and take the time to practice mixing skills c:

Favorites: underageb&, h84(stuff), Orca, Farewell My Friend, Do I Have To?, (untitled). Props to their authors and to everyone who took the time to create something for this compo (unlike me qq) c:
