Nice. Iit's funny, because I thought it would make a good gaming soundtrack, then I looked at your original post. I am not familiar with the original at all. Pretty good vocals. From 1:46 to 2:08, I'm not sure I like the percussion, except at the end for a lead in back to the next section. It may be the arrangement.

Not much to critique. The vocal needs a bit more bluesyness (yeah, like I know blues) but that's it.

Originally posted by the band iNot new to HC, just lost my old account info. The music is new though. The songs below we recorded ourselves atAliehn Productions Recording Studiowhich we own and operate. Pro Tools HD and lots of other stuff.Like Hate-electronic rock?The Nominonivore-eastern influenced rock w/sitar?I'd like some critique on the production value as well as the songs themselves.Thanks
Like Hate: Good sound overall. The drum riff at 0:22 - 0:46, 1:00 - 1:12, 1:25 - 1:38 doesn't really do it for me. In fitting with the "electronic rock" label, I would add a few more electronic accents, not too much though. In places where the vocal follows straight quarter notes, I would stagger it a little, particularly toward the end.
The Nominonivore: I really like this. I can think of only two overall criticisms. I think it is a bit long, and I would alter the sitar part. I would simplify the sitar during the main vocal phrases, and bring it in during the sustained notes, highlighting the call and response effect. I like the rhythm guitar part, but I would like to hear an acoustic guitar there just to compare the color. I think the middle is either too long, or needs more to happen.real nice vocal, bass, good drum. Nice sound.

Originally posted by SoundasticHello,This is my first post here, so, first I wish to say hi to everybody...second, I post a link to a little piece I did, it is a remix of a SNES (old gaming console...you know, the bleeps and beeps kind) game mixed with some original material. I would welcome comments on every aspect of the piece, compositional, orchestration, arrangment, production etc.I am a hobbyist and I did that on a PC running Cubase SX, Stylus RMX, Atmosphere, CS80V, Rapture, Xphraze, througs an Emu 1212m, Behringer monitors, triggered from the sexy CME UF 7
.Let the criticism start!http://www.savefile.com/files.php?fid=8819236I couldn't get it to play in WMP.

Originally posted by GeoffonTourI've been writing stuff on cubase with midi over the last few days for college & to help build up a general portfolio of work (and for experience), and I put 3 recent songs and an old cover of the tetris theme up onwww.myspace.com/geoffontour04Comments on all aspects of the mix & composition would be very helpful (I'm a music student) and if anyone has any ideas for em I'd be happy to try them.
Track 1: The first half reminds of the soundtrack to Arena or Daggerfall, (or maybe more recent Bethesda games). The solo piano is just ok
Track 2: I llike the feel, the bass, pad, guitarish chords. The drums seem like thay are building up to something, but don't go anywhwere. At 1:28 with just the bass and drum, kind of weak, the drum isn't interesting enough to contribute to that section. After that, the drums are a bit awkward. The "music-makers" clip has been used.
Track 3: Sort of a jazzy Windham Hill thing. Nice for kicking back.
Track 4: A lot of fun. The drums are a bit muted/compressed, but otherwise I like the guitar work.
Is your recording / mix any good? Find out here!
