Wow man awesome work gettin urself out there.
The piano and instrumentation is all awesome, singing is tough man I know, the lyrics you wrote were super poetic, but it sounds like you're holding back from really getting the power of your voice out there, especially at about :45 seconds.

I know professional equipment can be hard to get cause money and shit, but the mic clips a bit.

The transition from the piano part and guitar part is kinda awkward and doesn't transition right, and then it sounds like the song cuts off short? Not sure if it was intentional. Anyways, rock on man!

As far as remixes go I can hardly tell the difference aside from a jarring drum loop with a gate.
Keep workin on it man, maybe try and add some stuff to the song a new bassline and just use sample clips from the original track.

awesome Rhode progression intro.
the slammed chords get a bit off beat at times, which is okay I'm struggling keeping tempo myself.

neat little song though rock on!

Oh hot dog dude this is good, love the grunge/industrial vibe and those vocals are dope dude.... seriously jealous! Rock on man

FOUNDDEADINLA responds:

lol i didnt realize how industrial some of the stuff i write is until youve said it. also thanks for the vocal compliment :)

Nice build up, the bass panning at :23 is great

The slides on the bass mean you really can work that FL piano roll.

The sounds are balanced pretty good too, great depth of sound. I actually also have a MPK mini haha great little piece of hardware to play with the melody and not having to use the keyboard.

Not personally a fan of the genre though, I can acknowledge your skill in FL though!

Thanks! This usually isn't my genre I was just messing around because I want to try every genre, but thanks for the feedback always appreciated.

This piece has a great atmosphere actually, gets that full ear sounding has a good amount of tension and relief, maybe play with the velocity of the bell a bit and change the attack up so it's not so jarring. All the ambient noises really make the song feel full.

Great graveyard vibe, keep it up.

Out of curiosity what's your software you're using? The strings actually sound pretty okay.
That build up @ :07 to :12 is phenomenal.

There's a few parts where your violin kinda falls apart and sounds unnatural. I'm not a pro at orchestral stuff, but it sounds odd at :19, :27, :34, :42, :50 and then right after :50 there's something up with the chord structure causing 100% tension.

Keep working at it! the chord at 1:45 was great and strong! play around with some more things like that.

Pure tension !

The vibe is pretty good, although it's 100% dissonance and never resolves making it uncomfortable to listen to for great length.

Also the the song seems very 1 dimensional everything is fighting for the same db and pitch range. Need to spread out the lows and highs and such.

On the hat in the background maybe play around with velocity a bit more to make it more natural sounding and creating more grooving beat.

Also does it just loop in the middle and play the same thing twice pretty much? Maybe try and blend the parts together so that awkwardly long silence isn't there.

Pretty good man keep it up! I look forward to hear some new projects and I KNOW if you keep at it you'll get better!

Zxentric responds:

Thank you for the many responses you have submitted, I’m still fairly new to this but I’ll try my best with mixing up some things as the sounds will feel better more natural sounding in the near future. Thank you!

Very awesome dude, the weird rythm at 1:04 really hits weird (is that the harpschord you were talking about?) anyways awesome track overal!

YO! those drums are so natural sounding I love it. This isn't in standard tuning is it?
This is awesome man.

Yoshiii343 responds:

It's in standard tuning! The rhythm guitar can be played on the *A, D and G strings.

EDIT: forgot my own riffs lol

Thank you for stopping by my profile!
I do some music stuff and play games. Haven't been on Newgrounds for a while but I think it will be fun to get back into it.
Feel free to pm me for collabs or just to chat!
