Let's see
Uke playing is good. Voice... I wish you wouldn't use whatever that voice correction/changing effect. Acoustic stuff like this just doesn't work with voices that sound electronic. I'm sure your voice would sound a lot better natural.
Nice cover, btw, are you going to do the whole thing?
-Lamp
Not your best...
But still pretty nice. Brings back memories of Dance Dance Revolution and their "Speed Over Beethoven" tune. I can't say I see where the generically-named (no offense) reviewer below me doesn't think this is good. But hey, it's three points higher than her could have given you.
You always do nice remixes of classical pieces. At first, I thought this would just be an average decent remix, which is probably why the score is so low (peeps listening to the first second and dropping the O-bomb) But the song this evolved into was excellent!
It's all the little things like effects on the synths and your percussion that are so nice. I especially liked the synth playing solid eighths/sixteenths, carried the harmony well. There was a hit at around 1:15 that sounded a tad messy, but the rest of the mix sounded clean and fresh. :)
As always, looking forward to your next song!
-Lamp
Thanks! Now I'm feeling good again. :)
That hit was really annoying. I wanted it to hit hard, but there was so many other sounds at that moment that I had to raise the volume of it too much to make it noticeable enough.
Astounding Remix!
I wasn't going to review this, because to be honest 600 reviews is quite enough. :P But I finally gave in. So here's my review.
I think you did an excellent job on this, there's no debating that. The intro really caught my attention with the choir, and the piano sounded superb. The synthy voice kinda bugs me because I can't tell if it's meant to be male or female, but it still sounds great.
The synth that pops in at :55 seconds sounds a little different rhythmically, but that just adds some character so it's all fine and dandy. :)
When the guitar comes in, I thought it was a little too harsh for my taste. I get used to it... I guess I'm just not used to this type of power. When the guitar picks up the melody, I like how that sounds.
I like the way you bring back everything for it's moment in the sun sometime in the song. I don't like it when I can't hear all the elements, and you really did a nice job bringing them out. Overall, a very nice job with everything. I liked the ambience with the choir, and the instruments flowed and complimented each other well. Just the style I've learned to expect from you. Keep up the good work!
-Lamp
In the small chance there is of you reading this, what is this piano sound?
Spectacular!
Awesome. I love every part of this! Your use of ambience here is great as usual, your standard unique percussion abilities appear again... synths sound great. I really like the bell sound as well, and the kick that comes in and echoes out with a delay. Slowing down ending is a nice effect.
And this was in a different time signature originally? I couldn't even tell!
Excellent job overall! I don't have anything in the way of constructive criticism (un)fortunately. I feel like I repeat myself every time a review your music, but I really mean it! Keep up the awesomeness!
-Lamp
Well, thank you!
Yeah, it is quite a huge difference between this version and the original. Like 100 years of evolution. :)
People are so unfair.
I've never heard the original, but this sounds great. In no way does it deserve the score it's getting now. Excellent job making it sound live, the crowds' cheering was realistic, and the reverb and other effects you had on the music were fantastic. Vocals, great. Great job on the video, too. I don't make rock, but it was still helpful! Keep up the good work.
-Lamp
Yeah, I have a group of nay-sayers that like to downgrade me. It comes with the territory whenever you publicly share your talent. Seems most of them don't like me because I'm gay, but in all honesty, you can't survive in my position of life without developing a sense of apathy toward ignorance.
Anyway, that's beside the point.
I'm glad you like the song, and I moreso appreciate that you liked the way it was done.
The original song was in the Super Mario Bros. movie made back in the 1990's.
Haha...
I can't think of a single part for this piano collab that doesn't rock my socks... except mine. Mine sucks. :P But this was very nice. I like the rhythm, it sounds different that the other parts. It may be simple, but I liked it a lot.
-Lamp
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it a lot :)
Quite nice!
I really like the way this started out, a mix of classical and ambient. Those sounds along with the percussion are giving me strong images of a Native Amercian tribe dancing to thank the river for bringing the water needed to grow their harvest.. 'tis lovely. :)
I like what it evolves into as well... I'm definitely looking forward to the finished song! Let me know when it's done!
-Lamp
Agrees with KaizerWolf
Voters never give your songs fair ratings... it just goes to show that people here are lazy and only listen to the first few seconds.
I thought that it started off quite well. The snap sounded a little out-of-place (to me, there's really nothing wrong with it), but settled in quite well once the song got going. The snare was great, I like the rhythm.
The thunder effects were a very nice addition as well... I envy your ability to make a song almost perfectly matching what it's about.... as always, keep up the great work!
-Lamp
Yeah, the snap -might- be a little out-of-place. I'll have to edit that sample before I'll use it again sometime.
The funny thing is that I decided what the song was about when it was already finished. :)
Thanks for your 10!
Nice for an intro...
...but too repetitive for a song. If I were you I'd put two chromatic eighth/sixteenth notes going down after the fourth note in the progression. Also, this sounds familiar. I don't want to sound like "Oh, this whole song is bad change it all" or anything, but I'd make the chords a little different. There are quite a few songs that use these chords, and being different automatically gets you a better score with me.
I'm interested to see what you make out of this! PM me when you're done if you want my opinion on it.
-Lamp
thank you for your advice, i will pm you when (and it might take a while) i make the next version.
Cool.
Starts out with a very nice percussion line, then the high saw (I think) comes in... definitely caught my attention. Your percussion is always great, no exception here.
The effects here are awesome, sort of remind me of a spaceship or a mine.
Synths sound clear and nice as usual... something I was surprised about was that doesn't seem to be major or minor. At times I think it's in minor, then I listen to another instrument and it's major. Ack! Drives me insane!
I can see how fun this was to make. :) Keep up the good work, and I'll keep reviewing!
-Lamp
I'm always on the hunt for new percussion samples as I, as said somewhere before, quickly get tired of the old ones. And I like mixing both minor and major for a more varied sound, which I think is important. Thanks for your review!
