Cyber Rat Posted December 8, 2009 Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Not too shabby. I'll wait for some other members to give you the technicalities, since my relationship to music is on a strictly like/don't like basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 Hey man, that was really good! Not my genre, but I wanna hear some more of your stuff There's just a couple tweaks that I feel could make the song a little more polished. The guitar sounds a bit muffled - if that's the right word, so I'd do some EQ work. Maybe bring up the highs and cut off some of the mud and low mids (250-400 Hz), but just experiment around. I'd personally also cut out that last strumming bit starting at 2:31, but that's just a personal preference thing. Again, that was really good. Keep it up! Hope I could help!

DJ espeed Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 This is win. You got some epic skill, Ristar. This is the first of your music I've ever heard, so bear with me. +Your guitar and singing skills are phenomenal. +The lyrics are artistic, creative +The harmonies are very nicely done. -In some parts, it feels lacking, but not too lacking, of course. ?-If you could perhaps add a few more instrumental parts to that little bit of strumming near the end, that'd really make it sound better, IMO.

DimensionWarped Posted December 29, 2009 Report Share Posted December 29, 2009 I read "take a look inside" and all I could think from then on is dick in a box. Not that they have any common thread aside from that... but that just couldn't get out of my head. Oh, pretty neat though. Needs some more activity on the instrumental part. Singing is fabulous.

Yeah I should have cut out that last strumming bit, it's had mixed reviews, some people love it. I was intending to bring the tracks into FL or Ableton and have some drums and keyboards over it, but I thought it would sound a bit too busy and liked the simplicity. Thanks for the help though, I'll see what I can do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OverbounD Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I like that quite a lot I'm no musician of course I think your singing and guitar playing were great. But I also think a few of the lyrics were a little weak in spots I liked the lyrics overall but it seems like there were some spots where things should have rhymed and easily could have but didn't and it felt off putting. I don't know, I listen to a lot of music but I don't play anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hRook Posted January 8, 2010 Report Share Posted January 8, 2010 Diggin' it dude. I like your voice a lot. I am hearing a killer opportunity for an acoustic guitar solo coming out of the second chorus (with the three part harmonies) over that chord progression right after. Maybe start the solo while the "-ide" syllable is still sustaining out. I dunno... in any event it's your song. KEEP IT UP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FanGameRevolver Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 My my, that's bitching sweet. I don't have a big ear for music, but it was really worth the listen. Very chill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted February 21, 2010 Report Share Posted February 21, 2010 Daaaamn, dude. This was wickedly sweet. You really nailed it with the production value on Doubted. Sometimes I feel like the vocals could go up a decibel or two at certain parts, but regardless, I feel like this song is practically perfect.
