where's the sub/bass? :)

definitely needs some bass besides the kick. :) a nice low sub would be great.

try changing the string progression up every 16 bars. keep in the same key but just start at a different note and make a new pattern.

you already show a bit of alteration between string patterns by tapping it three times, which is good, but throwing out a new pattern would add even more interest. :)

avast, ye scallywag, what a tune ye made!

I feel like I'm out on the high seas with One-Eye the failed pirate, constantly circling the same island looking for that damned buried treasure!!!

(he said it was here -somewhere- =A)

fucking sick, dude

dude. :) I didn't even realize you'd done a cover of this. fucking sick, man. you earned the top spot with this baby. :) way to go, jonus!!!

wow! :)

excellent production going on here.

solid floor with a lot of headroom, felt very professional throughout. I really like it, subtle yet enthralling. :)

you could get 30-something business types -wasted- to shit like this in the lounges, man. :)

\m/ !!!! \m/

awesome. :) just awesome.

you need to find a vocalist who can regale us with stories of minotaurs pillaging elvish fortresses whilst wizards smoke strange herbs with sorcerors from lands afar.

Metaljonus responds:

LOL That would be sweet.

good beats for both

the chip synth ringing thing gets super repetitive and annoying. would be better if you maybe treated it with some effects (like amp up the reverb slowly) to cause a build and then get rid of it completely. :)

the second part has a nice distinct drum pattern though since it seems to be the focus it would help if you changed it up a bit and had something unique to every bar (A1-A2-A1-A3-A1-A2-A1-A4 as an 8-bar pattern for example, only really 4 bars to fill out 8).

if you do feel like reviewing one of my tunes, please check out my newest one, Summer Solace ( http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/254789 ) :)

thanks for the review and the advice. The chip synth was a major problem with the song. Every time I tried to mess with it I ended up making it sound worse. So I took the cowards way out and just left it the way it is.

The beat in the second part is quite repetitive.

warm and full of atmosphere

was a treat to my ears. :)

excellent use of panning and stereo positioning.

the bass sounded very warm, like an analog tube synth. excellent compression, equalization and production going on here. :) just top notch stuff, loved it!

vadnoise responds:

thanks for the review!! im glad to see that the little details can be noticed

where's your bassline?

Bass is the heart and soul of a song. :) It's what causes the person to -feel- your music. Without it you're just eating up headroom and grating on the ears.

Keep at it, dude!

Shouldn't this be under trance? :)

Regardless, nice hard style you've got here.

However, it gets way muddled at 1:30. The heavy bass synth you're using doesn't complement your gated pad-like synth.

I understand that it's kinda the style, but seriously, can't even make out the bass part because it's conflicting with the other sounds.

Elcargo responds:

Thanks for the tips, your absolutely right. I'm going to change it one of the these days. Thenks for the professional tip :)

Mmm portamento bass

So soft and comforting. :)

Excellent harmonization with the bells. Enchanting and mystical. :)

The beat comes in subtly and professionally. All of this was very well thought out.

Kudos, man. :) I really like what you've done here.

Though, damn... :P if you knew those strings were so loud why didn't you turn em down? lol, I had it cranked cause I was liking it then I had to leap to turn my speakers down! :D lol.

TheDude447 responds:
