Very nice.

Sounds are used excellently. Overall this piece is absolutely bitchin! I have EWQLSO as well so I know how hard it is to make this stuff sound good and you do a fantasic job. I think the biggest thing holding this back is lack of arrangement. You need more variatiion and there are a lot of techniques you could learn to boost this ito the categoy of UNTOUCHABLE because right now it sitting just below at OMGAWESOME level. :P

Great job. Very nice. Very driving epic piece.
Keep it up.

In my opinion EWQLSO is one of the best libraries for a great "out of the box" sound. The solo instruments are a pain to get to sound decent, but many of them are very nice to begin with (unlike the GPO sounds, which you really have to tweak to make them sound good).

Great to get your opinion and feedback, thanks for the review!

Huh?

OOWWWW! This piece is clipping all over the place and that strumming is way too loud. What can i say about this piece, if used as aloop it could be a nice little tune, strange as it is. This is just random strums on what sounds like a really bad distorted steel guitar. This needs a lot more to be considered anything beyond just a really messed up loop.

ya it has not much of a purpose.

Great song

Again, the first thing that strikes me about your work is absolutely awesome guitar recording/playing. Very clean and very well done. Drums are really nice in this song and don't sound fake at all! Song just kinda drones on though. Get more climaxes and or breaks in the song. Make it really interesting and fun. Lyrics are a must for this track.

Overall, really nice and very well executed. Nice song. Arrangement is a little on the boring side, but overall it is very good.

Scribbler responds:

Thanks man,

I always try to get the best quality out of my tracks when I record. Once this gets some nice vocals and lyrics, it will sound better, trust me. Thanks for the great review!

Nice guitar work.

The recording of the guitar is very clean and very well done. Drums are fakey and akward. The song itself doesn't really do much. Would make an excellent loop for something. Ending is okay, its just like the rest of the so it fits. Nice little bonus track at the end. I like it!

Overall, nice execution, but the idea of it being a full song is pretty bland. Would make an awesome loop though! Nice!

Scribbler responds:

Yeah, I agree, the guitar sounds fine but the drums do sound really fake, I don't know what happened when I rendered the song. The drums sounded fine before.

Maybe this should become a loop.

Nice short piece

I like it but OWWW! tone down those strings at the beginning! Too loud! Overall its nice as simplistic as it may be. When the bas comes in, it sounds very muddy and loses its clairty. The whistle-type thing at the end is a nice touchg, but its sounds noisy. Try to eliminate that.

Over nice short loop.

hehehe okay but this is my first ever song, i dont even know how to play keyboards!

Nice idea

Cool idea and O Fortuna rocks my socks (although other movements of Carmina Burana too often get overshadowed by O Fortuna). Unfortunately, I have a bit of bias against this track, as I have heard an electronic version of this before by the absolutely amazing band Era.

1)The sound is etremely muffled. The choir drowns out everything.

2)Since the techno and the actual O Fortuna recording are from different sources, they must be mixed together well, which you have made a decent effort to do here, but it just doesn't cut the mustard.

3)It repeats waaaaayyy too much. You need more variety. The best parts ofg O Fortuna I didn't even hear in this song.

Overall cool idea, but you don't use enough of the source and the production end is lacking a little bit. A little practice with more tunes like this and healthy dose of Era (Which I strongly suggest if you want to mix choir and techno) and maybe O Fortuna can come from you in a much more polished state!

I want to hear more like this. But better! Keep it up!

Great work. Variety and style!

This is a great piece. It's definitely got a classic style to it but at the same time, it is very fresh and never lets you lose interest. Very good, very bad-ass track! Great job! Only thing I can u=suggest is maybe a bit more bass/low mid presence as it sounds sort of weak on my headphones.

Helix6 responds:

I know! The bass is actually (strangely) the hardest part for me to really build into a song in a balanced yet powerful way! Arg!

HOT DOG! This is hella cool.

This is stuff I would love to hear in a video game and it looks like people have already realized its potential since it has been used already! I love this piece and as always the arrangement and sound quality for cornandbeans is way above excellent! Good job!

cornandbeans responds:

Yea, I'm pretty sure the last time you heard me I was doing midis. Ahhh... the good old days. I'm thinking about submitting 'Don't Look Back' as a collab between you and me. I might have arranged it, but you made it sound supah-cool! Ah. Thanks for the review!
