bye
I am going to spell this as clearly as possible.
The track is not FINISHED!
You also failed to answer my question. How did you make the Nintendo association? How do you feel the melody and patch are random?
It's quite obvious you're acting like an ass in this thread simply because you don't like me, which is quite sad. Feedback is always welcome (why do you think I even put this thread up?) but your comments were hardly useful in any shape or form.
LOL the outrageousness!! I'm going to take a listen so I can give my own criticism!
Edit:
My criticism here: So I get the same nintendo vibe that Mike got from that rhodes piano. He's definitely right about the sequencing, but like you said it's not even finished yet. My only suggestion on the rhodes piano is lengthen that release and have smoother transitions between those notes. It sounds like a real rhodes, but it's just at certain moments that it sounds like it is from some old NES game.

the fact that the rhodes sample you used doesnt change at all. its the same sound just played on different notes, and panning from left to right. and bearing in mind its a very simple sound anyway... i think thats why, it just sounded to me like it belonged in a nintendo game. dont get me wrong i actually quite like the rest of the track, which is why im so angry at how u responded to my post (like a child who thinks the sun shines out of his ass)

dont be so stupid, why would i have been so positive in my original post if thats what i set out to do? your silly stuck up reply was why im going off on one now. there was no need for it at all.

yeah that might help. also less of the panning and vary the velocity of the notes. think about which notes are most important and which are just there to fill the gaps, then soften the tone of the ones which are just there to fill the gaps. that would be my suggestion. also possibly even remove some of the notes.

I had a lengthy reply for that one too but I'm not even going to bother.
It looks like this thread could do with a calming influence, so here I am! Err, hi. These samples are only really meant to serve as an indication of where we're at this moment in time, so nothing's set in stone and that second track isn't going to stay like that for long once we get round to developing it properly.
We were simply hoping to give people a taster of what we're aiming towards with this EP/album, and if you like what you hear at this stage then that's fantastic. But if not, then please bear in mind that we're still hard at work with it!
Now no flame wars please, otherwise I'll have to get my hose out.

Mike_Foley speaking the truth here.. That rhodes sample isnt the best one out there, atleast you could sample it from few different notes.
Which part of "it's not finished" do you not understand? We know this issue and we are working on it.

And I really dont get it, why do you even post these tracks here if you dont want any honest comments.
Oh please. These clips were meant to be a taster of things to come and clearly marked as works in progress. Getting hung up on an insignificant detail like that really isn't what we were looking for.
I like the beat of the first track.
The melody is sweet but you need something else above it.
I also think that you should do some snare drops instead of putting it always on the 2th & 4th.
The offbeat hihat gotta go.
The second is slower.
I like the pads.
The beat is nice.
The melody is great and I like the panning but the sound is a bit Nintendoish.
The third track sounds dark.
I like the precs and the melodies.
Nice track.
