This is so fun!! What's that instrument that comes in around 0:47?

Jxudo responds:

Glad you enjoyed! That's a Chinese Erhu, one of my favorite eastern strings.

[Poop]

I DIDN'T EXPECT A SONG TITLED "POOP" WOULD SOUND SO HAUNTINGLY BEAUTIFUL

MishkoLalko responds:

Ahaha, thank you:)

[Lit Fuse (Remastered Album Mix)]

It only took me like one or two years of listening to this song, and I just realized it's in 5/4.

Cacola responds:

lol

[The Big Bang Casio mixdow]

This song was 11 years ahead of its time. Only now are we able to understand the true genius of this song. God Bless.

N8-Music responds:

hahaha If I could've looked into the future 11 years ago to read this super awesome comment Id have persisted onward with an even bigger smile!! Cheers to you!

[HELIG KVINANN]

There are a few rough parts. For example, the parts at 18:00 and 21:00 feels kind of unpleasant. However, there are some really cool moments, like at 23:10 and especially 26:09. I also really like how this doesn't feel like a collection of songs, or a song that was stretched out, but it feels like one complete song.

Cacola responds:

Ahhh thank u for the honest feedback! And i'm glad you liked it. Yea i figured the really abrasive more experimental part of the song would rub off worse for most people, I get that. Also thank you for just like, listening to the whole thing, idk if people actually like when i make these long song things, as much as I enjoy making them.

As somebody who also uses LMMS, you really pushed it to its limit on this track. Really amazing atmosphere, keep it up!

wodpecker responds:

Thanks dude!

[Power Of Inspiration]

Aside from some mixing, this was a really good ambient track. I think the drums could have been a little softer, and I think the instrument choice was a little unusual for an ambient piece, but I can respect the overall structure of it.

Kind of unrelated to this song, but if you are looking to create a melody for a certain key or chord, then I would suggest looking into using a pentatonic scale. They're great for writing melodies, and even improvisation.

MRM3 responds:

Thank you!
I will definitely look into the pentatonic scales!
when I started, I wasn't thinking "ambient" when I finished I also wasn't thinking "ambient".
But, my mom said (after listening to it) that she would put it under the "ambient" section, so, yeah, that's how it got that genre. lol.
Like I said in my last post: I have a bad set of headphones, after listening to the song off of a different set of headphones, I agree, the beat is too strong, as always. this is a problem in all *and I mean every single one* of my songs.
Despite doing my best to take volume down enough, he drums are still too strong. I will fix this ASAP, and hopefully, within a day or 2, have it uploaded to NG.
Thanks as always, for the nice review!

[Euphony]

The intro was Great! You executed it really well.
I can tell that you used some of the default "AudioFileProcessor" sounds. If you wanted to expand some of the sounds you use, you can load more samples. If you had from a larger variety to choose from, I feel like you could have had more samples. In this song, it kinda feels like the samples come and go at random times.

At 1:20 things get a little weird with the instrument that carries the melody. I'm pretty sure that it isn't one tone, but 2 in the same sound. Since you have major/minor chords that will change when the melody sound doesn't, it's going to sound really weird.
There isn't anything huge I can say negative about this song. I would mention mixing, but that relies on if your headphones are good or not. I could work on mixing myself as well.

Also, how much music theory do you know? There isn't anything from this song in particular that stands out, but more of your other stuff.

MRM3 responds:

There are plenty of things that could be better with this song.
You mentioned at 1:20 "...".
Well, I basically took a sound, and cut it down to 1 frequency, then played that frequency in a major chord over like 2 or 3 octaves.
Yes, this is actually the first time I used those "AudioFileProcessor" sounds. ever. haha.
Concerning "Music theory", I had to google that, just to see what it was.
If a tune pops into my head, I go and put it into music form... that's it, I don't calculate notes, or anything like that. I can play the recorder, and guitar, but, that's it. I don't know how "chords" go, or any of that. I just know that I like music, and am pretty good at making sounds that go well together. with more experience, I will be able to make better songs, but for now, I'm still learning.
Thank you for the nice review, and I appreciate the feedback!
