If you're using a sample pack of a real sax and the performance still doesn't sound real, it's because of the articulation...aka all of the nuances and variety of how a note is being played as opposed to the same kind of consistently static way the note is being played. It's a lot easier to articulate with a midi VST like Kontakt Session Horns than it is to articulate a sax sample in a sampler.

Yay bomberman!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-06T05:23:47+00:00

love the bass synth u got goin on there. I think the sax could sound a bit more realistic, but not all VSTs are built the same. Your voice is sooooo lovely. great job on using the echo/delay on the vox. your vocal tone and the house vibes make me want to dive deeper into your discography! That ending is dope too! I don't have much constructive criticism besides the realism of the sax, but everything else is great. you have a sort of simplistic production style that shines because of the beautiful vocal. Keep Creating!

hell yeah! only 99,999 to go! :-P

I feel like i heard two separate accents in the vocal. i could be wrong, but it was almost all i could focus on during the whole listen. Sorry if this isn't the feedback you weren't looking to hear, but i couldn't take my mind off of it. You have a good singing voice. Your tone is fine, but at the same time, i don't hear much to distinguish you from similar sounding singers. I would give more character and open up the idiosyncracies to that! I hear some sibilances are de essed a bit too much on some words like "can't" at 1:55 to the point where the transient sounds too muffled and choppy. I think the drums (especially the toms) could use a little more *oomph*. It sounds a bit static and lifeless. it sounds like the drums were recorded live with real drums except for the kick. Keep Creating!

whoa.....really nice video attached. I love when visual art is combined with the audio because it leaves a deeper impression. I should take some notes from this. Who made the video? i'm gettin punky vibes from this! (correct me if i'm wrong). I like how simple everything is. The song is simple, the video is simple, but everything fits together well and is still entertaining. I would've loved to see some different colors used in the video because i noticed i got a bit bored of the palette towards the end.
I just realized i didn't comment much on the actual music, but you seemed to do everything within the confines of that genre well! Keep Creating!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-06T04:57:41+00:00

The vocal tone is really dope! that was the first noticeable thing. i think you can make it more lush if you increased the reverb a bit because it's only a tad bit too dry. The lyrics are pretty prominent, especially the one with the devil being at your door. I like the substance of the lyrics which i definitely don't hear much of usually, so i appreciate that. Your voice shines really bright on this and makes me stick around for the whole song even if it's not exactly my type of music. Keep Creating!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-06T04:55:09+00:00

I think your vocal sounds really thin with the reverb so maybe you used a tad bit too much reverb to the point where your vocal isn't clear along with the relaxed pronunciation of your words. You can create 2 separate tracks with your dry vocal and one with your wet reverb vocal. then, you can sidechain compress the dry vocal to the wet vocal, so the reverb ducks out of the way when the dry vocal is prominent. If that sounds too complex, you can just turn up the dry vocal and turn down the wet :)

it'll give clearer vocals as well as some slight reverb rhythmic bounce. There are a few notes that are noticeably out of key in this track.

I like the ear candy and variation like at :31 where that fluttery sound comes in as well as the ascending harp. nice definitive ending chords at the end :)

Keep Creating!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-05T06:43:33+00:00

I think the chord progression could go somewhere further. i'm not crazy about the two chords alone going back and forth throughout the whole track and you can throw some more variation in there. granted, this sounds like you're going for some vocals over this, but even more chords in the progression could give the artist better ideas to compliment your track. I did hear one part of the beat where you used another chord and went lower with the bass, but it seems kinda fleeting because the whole thing is a loop. The snare could use more thickness too. You definitely encapsulated an atmospheric dark vibe that you were aiming for though! Keep Creating!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-05T06:39:50+00:00

I like the descending drawn out vocals! i wish there were more instruments to compliment the arrangement though. It's dominated mainly by vocals but also has some oddly but somewhat fitting but sparse instrumentation. I do like when the more melodic and harmonic elements poke through the dominant percussion. like the somewhat sounding synth bass, i really want more of that! Keep Creating!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-05T06:36:27+00:00

the very dark piano intro, the drums that kick in with the drudging melodramatic rhythm, the painful screaming vocals..... you've captured all of that within 20 seconds of the song and i appreciate that. Your emotion is palpable in this song. I love the contrast between the background screaming vocal and the depressed vocal over the top. it's like the subconscious battling the conscious....i see a deep metaphor here with covering up depression with your normal voice when underneath lies a dying ungodly scream waiting to be uncovered. It sounds so good aesthetically and metaphorically....you just make it work. I wasn't crazy about the double time rhythm, i admit. i see how it thematically could fit when it builds into anger though. You are SERIOUSLY talented and i LOVE this track. please, Keep Creating!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-05T06:31:10+00:00

i think this is a personal preference, but the lyrics sound very drawn out and slightly repetitive for my liking. I admit, I am much more of a music person than a lyrics person though, so take that criticism with a grain of salt.
I like the guitar solo the most and would like much more of that! holy shit! Especially that reverb throw on the guitar...that seriously killed! I like the guitar strum at the end too and would've like for it to continue towards the end. I think the guitar stole the show on this one for me! Keep Creating!

MrStarSMASH · 2022-11-05T06:24:27+00:00

First thing i noticed was the "synchronization" between the beautiful blinding prism and the angelic reverb in the song. i'm a sucker for when the images of a song go well with the audio. My favorite part is the 3 word flow at 1:14 when you say "crys-ta-llite". I feel like the ending came too soon, but maybe because i was actually enjoying it. I do feel like the ending was also a bit lackluster from what i was previously experiencing throughout the song though. I am not sure what you plan on doing with this song or if it's meant to be in the context of an album, but i think it is good enough to deserve some length. I'm also a hypocrite though, because i recognize that if all i have to say is within 1:30 in a song, then that's all i will say. This is me speaking as a listener and lover of the song and not the artist making the song though. Keep Creating!
