The sound!
It sounds almost authentic to the original. Except this one has better quality :P This is one of my favorite songs of all time. I like your arrangement . But there are some things that still sound too much out of place for me to like them. But extremly great mixing. Snare sounds awesome. Bass and acoustic guitars , truly amazing. May I ask what kind of Mics you use ?
4.25 / 5.00 (+ 0.11)
Keep it up. And I'll promise you'll get a 10.
For this recording I used a Rhode drumkit mic set that was available at York college for me, and then i recorded the bass and acoustic guitar at home using simply an SM57 and an SM58. It's the best quality recording i've ever got without using a condenser mic!
Very nicely done.
This really disserves som credit.
I really liked the overall mix. And the mic placements sound awesome.
I also Like the reverb. But there is one thing I find strange. Since there are so much reverb on the guitars how come there are none on the people in the background ?
Anyways. Half done the song get's a bit worse. I still like the style and all. Though the guitar misses it's tones too much. But anyways good work and keep it up.
Haha thanks ! we only put reverb on the overdubbed guitar parts. it's quite funny how you comment on liking the quality of the mix as this track literally took 1 hour to record and mix! and we just arranged some classical tunes and some of our own tunes on the spot to do it. thanks for the review!
if you listen closely to the main tune, i especially like what we did with the harmonics of exactly the same notes. it's hard to notice.
Awesome shit
Right here.
My only complaint is the cymbals.
Great riffs , great drum details , great guitar tone.
Keep it up.
Check my stuff out as well . I record with a Pod XT as well.
podxt ftw!
I really like this song.
It's a bit boring as Gravey1 the almighty asshole says. Still , I like it. Alot.
Quite well produced and all. Don't really like ez fuck my mum in the ass drummer. But it works. And If you don't have anything else go ahead. Gravey1 doesn't know shit about metal. I tell you. He has never EVER had a feeling about how metal should be. And it pisses me of to hell that he keeps giving people low ratings on the heavy metal scene cause He doesn't know shit about metal. Ok back to the song. Enough hating. Nice drum programming and all. But try to think about the velocitiy changes etc. Cause they sound extremly programmed sometimes. Perhaps that is your approach to your sound. But if you want it to sound "real" . Try to think like a real drummer. Other than that. Awesome. And Fuck Gravey1 in the ass.
I'm glad you like it dude! Like I said though, I really just popped this out because I started it a good 5 months ago and rerecorded the beginning twice already, so I was like "fuck this I wanna be done with this fucking song fuck fuck fuck" etc etc And I'm also happy that I'm not the only one with that view on gravey. Also, this is with my old program to future recordings will have better production, and better drums!
Cheers!

Sorry!
I totally forgot about this . This is an awesome song. Reminds me of bands like Trivium , All that remains etc. Solid intro. Great Bass sound. I really like what you have done with your drums. You seem to take advice really well. Best sounding EZ I've heard so far. And I'm serious. But , the snare seems to get lost in the mix. And the single tone lead on 1.13 could use some vibrato so it doesn't sound so stiff , if you know what I mean. Great use of piano and Ambience effects. Solid breakdown at 01.51 I really like your bass tone. It's perfect. The guitars fit well with the reverb/delay . Nice tremolo . Though it makes the drums much louder in volume then the guitars. Other then that , as I said in the beginning . Awesome song. Keep it up.
hey man, thanks for these reviews, they really help. Lets see...
Yes, I work hard on those drums =) The snare does get lost in the intro, I noticed. It didn't help that I had 4 crushing guitar tracks on that part, but I'll remember that. I have to start mixing to parts of the song, not the overview.
as far as the lead, I liked how it was. I wanted it to sort of sound far away, like a voice. Thanks for the tip though! Thanks dude, I like my bass tone too.
will do \m/
This has been long awaited ;D
And it sucks.
That I haven't reviewed it before ;D mohaha ;D.
I really like the piano sound and guitar sound. Though I feel as if it's a bit thin.
I really like the voicechatter from the helicopter or what ever it is. Really like the clean guitar tone. Than the really progressive riff kicks in. Kick ass melodies inboud in the heavy riffing. really like all the drum touches . The offbeat with the ride is pure genious. Then I really like the harpichord I've always wanted a Harpichord vst , u most tell me what it is called so I can get it myself ;) After that the intro kicks in magestic as always with a great cresendo. And great dimiendo towards the end . It makes the song more dynamic. Keep it up ;)
Though try to make the song fuller with some mastering. Cheers.
Finally you reviewed it :P. Well, thanks for the tips you gave me on MSN and thanks for the compliments :). Btw, the Harpsichord is Guitar Pro 4 yay :P.
Cheers.
Sweet :)
I have to disagree to the previous reviewer. I like your sisters voice. Sounds really old school. I like your voice as well. Sweet rymes. Though I feel some times as you miss the flow. When I listen to hip hop / rap / r n b I need the flow. That's what makes the song. The only thing I feel this song misses is a fucking big ass tight production . Other then that this is awesome. Like the song in whole. A bit more variety is also appriciated. But can't do more then 10 this ;)
Keep it up and bring ur sis more. She has a (fuck can't even put words to it) nice voice :)
Cheers n beers from the west side. (of sweden)
thank you so much bruv! means alot for me to hearyou say that! i got a new track in works with me and my sis as well as a guest spot from one of the sickest female lyracists from so-cal! always trying my best!...i was really sick and this whole song was done freestyle too so thats why it seems kind of off...but i'm a very abstract mc i don't like spitting normally i guess thats whyi sound like im off sometimes!!
stay up and god bless!!
much love
cheers
from the west coast!
re:con/tengshe
Pretty nice
Overall pretty good sound !
If you plan to use EZ drummer see to it that you make use of Cymbals after every fill n so on. And try to make it sound as your own drum mix. Instead of the same basic preset that everyone has.
(I fucking hate EZ drummer just so you know)
And I feel as if this is Heavy Metal. Sounds like heavy metal bands like Manowar or Megadeth n so on.
Other then that nice.
Only reason why it's 9 instead of 10 is the drums.
Don't take this as destructive criticizm.
Cheers.
I won't. I like ezdrummer for it's simplicity but I find it frusterating trying to get a unique sound out of it. I like your music btw. Know anybody that can sing in an 80s punk style?
KICK ASS!
This was sweet as hell man ;)
Glad to hear this side from you man ;)
Mindovermatt did som killer 4 string wanking as always.
Keep it up fuckhead and I'll stop showing you grandmatits ;)
Cheers n beers.
Thanks man.
I love saggy boobies.
Woah!
You are easily the most amazing musician on newgrounds. Everything you make , it makes me dream. And there is almost no music that does that to me anymore.
You can go all the way. I mean , why settle for newgrounds ? I think you can have the world at your feet. Amazing trumpets . Everything is simply amazing.
Keep it up.
Thanx for the very nice words.
As some people (also from NG) know, I have an album and several recordings as a side musician.
Nowdays I moved to Lithuania and I started a new project (Latin and Bossa-Nova) and stuff ... I'll write more on my "News".
Cheers.
I try to do music.
