asdfg

gotta agree with the review below me. i didn't really care for the vocals. but i loved the strings. what VST did you use for them?

8/10, 4/5

YouriX responds:

The strings can be found under Packs > Orchestral > FLS strings

[DJ AsianTech - Asian Girl]

asian=win

i love the melody you have there. huge fan of asian instruments. i think this will sounds great after you rap on this. it should be a really unique sound. i haven't heard a lot of asian-style hip hop, so i can't wait for that. but what was the sample? the melody, or the drums? just wondering. also, what was the video?

anyway, nice song. 10/10, 5/5.

[BJ - City Lights]

loving it

loving that bass. great melody too. really relaxing. i could loop this one all night =D

5/5, 10/10.

also, thanks for your review on my song!

[Vecina Volleys]

happiness

loving it. very fun listen, and great use of vocal samples. love the scratches, i'm totally a sucker for that kinda thing.

was kinda wondering, what program do you use to make music, and does it come with a turntable simulator for scratching, or did you actually hook a turntable up to it? just wondering.

great sound. 10/10, 5/5

SHADOWFOX2 responds:

Haha I'm a sucker for vocals and scratches too
Lately I've been trying to put them in wherever they'd fit!

I'm an FL user, that's FL Studio, or Fruity Loops Studio to be completely formal
It does come with a turntable simulator(!), however I don't use it unless I'm messin' around
There are some plugins like Wave Traveler that'll do something similar, but I've only used that in older music

One of these days I'm gonna actually get a turntable and some neon headphones...
In any case, thanks a bunch for the attention!

[Dream Snooping]

mad funky man

this was really beautiful. something i can chill to when i'm feeling lazy(which is always). Funk has always been a style i love. great bass, and i'm loving those bell sounds. i'm currently trying to think of a way to cut this up/sample a bit to make a funky-style hip hop beat(with your permission of course).

anyway, great work. 10/10, 5/5, fav'd, downloaded.

SHADOWFOX2 responds:

Lazy funk bass is the best thing to wake up to with a hint of bells for contrast B]
I greatly appreciate you asking for my permission although for this site you technically don't need it
Go on ahead though; I sorta thought I achieved the funky hip-hop thing already but I know there are many other possibilities.
Thanks for your thoughts!

[CKC - Inside of Me]

love it

i like the hip hop/rock fusion quite a bit, and i think you should do some stuff like this more often. one piece of advice i'd give, is rather than using Slayer, you could use a good piano VST and use an amp simulator on it. it still won't compare to a real guitar, but it will be better than Slayer, and if you don't play guitar, then this may be the next best thing.

but there are also some decent guitar VSTs out there. Sorohanro made a VST that comes with multiple different instruments, guitar being one of them. here's a thread he made recently to advertise it. http://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1 175105/1

anyway, i loved this song, and hope to hear more like it from you. i'm a huge rock fan, but i also like your hip hop, and rock/hip hop fusion has always been a hit with me. good work.

9/10
5/5

CKC2009 responds:

lmao just looking thru my old shii this was when i sucked bawlz

[Experimental Museum (FATMAN)]

amazing

loving that lead instrument, whatever it is(?). the use of guitar in there was amazing as well. pretty relaxing, considering it's going into a game about zombies. anyway, good work. 10/10, 5/5, fav'd.

NuclearStrike responds:

I'm aiming for more of a suspenseful, ethereal feel. Kinda like a track out of one of the parasite eve games. Not aiming for an adrenalin fueled thrill ride. Thanks for the review though, glad you liked it. Love, Peace, and Big Beat.
