[The Night's Eternity v2]

volumes are dipping everywhere

Its a cool track dude but over all it sounds real fake, can you play for real? if so I would record at least real guitars, it makes all the difference, to you know how to use envelope editing? it will dramaticly help you deal with those volume raises and decreases. anyways, its still really cool,
can you give my song a listen if you have time?
thanks
hope this helped,
Jesse

Yeah It's all just done with FL studio 8. I'm a noob and I notice the volumes changing all the time but im not sure what to do about that. The drums suffice I guess but everything else sounds like fakey crap. I don't know about the solo, but I could play all of this as I 'wrote' it all on a guitar. I need a descent program and a microphone for making more real music. Thanks alot for the review. I shall check out your song now.

[Corpse Feast]

if your going to record metal....

Please learn to play guitar because this is an aswome little number but the VST guitar kills me. the drums sound to ''fake'' use an open hi hat to avoid that polka beat you have going on most of the time. dont knwo what else to say, Ill give you a high score cause its not techno, I would love to hear you go more nuts. I will check you other stuff.
can you give my new song a listen too, Id love some feedback. just copy and paste the link ito your broswer,
Thanks

DaveSlayer responds:

I do play guitar, you freak >:O
And yeah, i listened to your song. Sound pretty nice, but vocals made me cry a bit.
About VST guitars... Well, my first submission shows i can't record a real one because the quality sucks big time.
Thanks for teh review. :)

[A Sight In The Sun]

cool stuff

It sounds like it could be a track from the ST-Anger demos if that means anything to you, (thats kind of a good thing, it just needs some focus. after around 1:50 its changed and got interesting, trust me, Im one to write epic instrumentles but after some harsh feed back of the same nature I dicided that its time to stop boring non-musicians and do some vocals (they just do not get instrumentals or have the attentions span or something,) Anyways this is a cool song and I hope my review helped, I know how fun it is to have someone critic your work, so I hope you do the same with mine, the link is below. your song has alot of potential, keep it up and dip your toes into some vocals, trust me, its scary at first but well worth, so far no one has made fun of my vocal attempts on my new song. everyone is nice around here.
So please check out my new song, download, and spread it around to anyone you know that digs cool music.
Thanks,
Jesse

Ryan-of-the-Metal responds:

Well, now we've got ourselves a critic here. :D St. Anger really? I actually kind've like that album, so I'm taking that as a compliment! Lol and considering what you were saying about long intrumentals, I understand what you mean. I could easily make an 11 minute song iwth a whole BUNCH of stuff in it.

Although what the crummy masses want are non-epic instrumentals, so I understand you, and we're on the same page. I've been doing some vocals, but I bother everyone in the house when I do that, so that'll have to be at certain times.

I'll criticize your work for sure, but I do best with metal, then rock, and honestly, I'm not that good in other genres, so I'll give it my best shot. ^_^

[The Serpentine Offering-Cover]

This is killer killer killer killer !!!!!!!!!!!

Dimmu Borgir Are fucking wicked cool, great job, it sounds better then some of their C.D.S or equally as good. Props hommie

[Seeping Blood {SD}]

WoW!!!

You definatly got your own sound going there, would love to hear some sinister demonic vocals over that though, production was a little un even though,
10 on 10 for creativity, your awsome.

militaryrobb responds:

Yeah im still working on getting all the vocals right on it, but soon i will have a new version out that has the vocals all on it. THX BRO for the rating

[She Likes Girls]

Dont be shy!! really sing it!!!

I feel like your in a small appartment and dont want to yell to loud, I deal with that all the time, A good trick is to sing with slight distortion, oh wait your song just got sick heavy... know its back to the punky thing, wow dude the heavy stuff was killer you should go with that more offten, oh yeah, sing with some distortion youll sound more edgy and less whispery if that makes sense, your back up vocal sound great cause they have that disstortion Im talking about but its the main vocal track that lacks balls. great song though keep it up.

Ragin-Asian responds:

thanks dude! i'll look into that.

[Tha Ritz - unknown song]

the mix is bad!!!

cool song but the mix is really bad. way to much bass and teh guitars are to low and fuzzy insted of distorted and the high hat is to loud in contrast, and some mids to your overall mix to brighten things up but to boost your highs or hat high hat will stand out even more.

[Classy Djent]

Its good

The guitars sound weak, are you recording directly into your pc or do you mic your amp? the strings are a bit to loud in the mix and take away the heavy chunkyness,
overall its still a cool piece, your riffs are great and the drums are smooth,

350teric responds:

I don't agree that the guitar sound is weak! Maybe the strings are a bit too loud but everything else is OK, in my opinion. Your speakers are case maybe, and I heard your guitar recording too (is that how I should record mine)!? :)
