but about your song, i'm not quite sure what style it would fit under. experimental, maybe? it wouldn't be out of place in general rock. that covers alternative.
try stepping back from your mic and singing louder. if that makes your voice too quiet, even if your singing as loud as you can, put a compressor on it. other than that, it's not bad. cept' your drums. they stink because they're stanky!!
(haha, just try to do a more steady beat =P)
4/5 8/10 \m/

oogock responds:

lol :D
i guess i shouldve posted in general rock then
i think its just my mic though. i bought it for 20 dollars.
when i crank up the volume it crackles :*(
and if i hook it up to my fx box it just sounds like crap
so right now i have it running through a clean amp.
my drums suck i admit it! im bad at them haha
thanks for the review bro!

[Delta Blues]

very nice

ahaha, sage16, i got a red fender too. a strat kid. great sounds like nobody's mother.

and at shadow617 and his song, very very good. i loved how you used the acoustic guitar a lot. the rhythms are impeccable and it left me feeling like all my blues have gone home. that's how you do it.
5/5 10/10
and i'd be honored for you to criticize, or review my newest blues track, "That's what we get"

shadow617 responds:

from one great musician to another, thanks man. appreciate it much.

[*old* Insomnia FTW]

nice

nice drum machine. but mine is better =) and much faster to work with, i'd have that done in 30 mins where you spent 3 hours haha. try recording drums and then guitar over it, that may help you out. i like your riffs much btw. even though i'm not much of a metal kid myself. and sorry about the zero-bombers. i gave you a 5 =)
if you want help whenever you write a serious song, feel free to message me =)
5/5, 9/10 \m/
please return the favor on my new song: "that's what we get"

Eteocles responds:

Right on man I will definitely return the favour. I'm not sure what drum machine you use, but I use EZ Drummer + Drumkit From Hell... I'm fairly new to it and made all the beats myself, didn't use any presets, so it took me a while to get the kinks figured out.

Thanks for the vote! And you should definitely PM me what you use for drums :D

[Negative_Shifter (ReMix)]

chaotic...

but good. i'm not sure weather or not the guitar sounds real to me. i don't think so, but i don't know. either way, it's well written. i'm not a huge fan of your drums either, but they're at least not annoying. very creepy later on. also, later on, teh guitar sounds much more fake. sorry, but IMO guitar is one of the main instruments that should not be samples or synth. well, to my iPod! heehee. (that's a compliment coming from me =P)
5/5 8/10
very well written. if only it equally well recorded real instruments.
i'd be glad to record the guitar and bass parts for you if you'd like, message me =P
please return the favor with my new song: that's what we get.
(also a great example of my guitar skill)

Fajita responds:

Its all real guitar. Just edited at the points like the scratch sound. and there are some really heavy effect / compressors on the guitar soud as well witch makes it sound fake towards the end but i thought it fit well with the song. Also, thanks for the review! :D please check out my other songs. and give me some feed back if you don't mind.

[we escaped]

wack.

not bad style, but the song is overall slightly boring. gmm
keep working at it.

[krachmaninoff-iminsane]

don't listen to the haters

this music is greatness. if you found a better way to record then your music would be possibly the best amateur music i've ever heard.
i would really like to hear better recordings though.

[The Broken Promise]

i like it

lyrics are good, but put a compressor on the vocals and see what that does for you. also, try working on timing, and leads and rhythms that complement each other.
i'd like to hear the bass, if it's there, and some drums would be nice. the addicting drums plugin demo is free, and the only thing they took away was your ride symbol and toms and you can use it if you're using most host programs.
pretty good, and good job keeping the same general idea throughout the song. i know alot of people fail to do that. also, a solo at the end could be cool.
5/5, 8/10.
please return the favor on my new song: that's what we get
kthx, bye, and good luck!

basheman responds:

Thx :)

Ye i messed up with the editing a bit :/ didn't have enought time perfecting the sound from the mixer board. And i totally forgot about compressors! The bass is there but the volume seems to be pretty low. I can hear it fine but others can't. Must be because i have some different setings on my sound card. But thx for a great review :) I will make another version and prefect the song ^^

[krachmaninoff-boogie in b]

jaw=dropping

-1 star because the vocals are hard to hear
excellent... and nobody cares if your singing isn't the greatest, if that's why it's so quiet... or at least i don't care =)

[krachmaninoff-blues in c]

oh my god...

i think i just had a bluesgasm...
it's just perfect... 5/5 10/10

[It's a Secret!]

not half bad

yeah, i can get down with this. repetitive tho.
all together not bad. 4/5 (to counter all the zero bombers) 7/10
the drums aren't steady enough tho. try a stronger steadier beat.
