[UC--Wasteland Theme]

This was definitely my favorite track from the game. I dig the melody. It's really cool how you kept the music really consistent throughout the game. Nice work.

houzatosis responds:

I think this was everybody's favorite on my team ^^ Thank you.

[UC--Confrontation]

Cool, I like it. It sounds like the soundtrack to a tongue-in-cheek Amnesia, if such a thing's possible. I like how the bassline sounds like someone burping. The drums are cool, too. I really like the drone playing throughout the track. Nice work.

houzatosis responds:

For some reason, I thought of Katz's theme from Courage the Cowardly Dog while I was brainstorming ideas for this track, and the cr-78's distinct sound seemed perfect.

[My Heart to Fit a Place]

Totally sounds like Gershwin. Real nice. What job did you get exactly?

Cebster responds:

hmm have to check that out. Ok so its not actually the industry haha in fact nothing to crazy. I got a gig scoring youtube videos for a company.... It's a start up company so I won't even be getting paid yet. haha.

[Happyland]

This totally reminds me of Blur's album Parklife, which is funny because Blur's from England and you're from southern USA? Well anyway, catchy song. Percussion's real bouncy. Lots of layering of synths. Cool shit!

Poniiboi responds:

You dug deep! LOL no one comments on this song.

[DTT - Matic Attack Sucks]

I love the part at 1:46 when everything clears out and you just hear the 007-style guitar, the bassline and the drums. The occasional reversed bass note was dope. It sounds really cool there. The intro was really cool, with the reversed piano notes competing with the normal notes. Really interesting textures and sounds. Rapping was good, too.

RRStudios responds:

Instrumental was produced by Team-Dix (Rama). The rapping was done by dacookup (Shef Cook).

Thanks for the review, no vote here.

[~All i said~]

I notice you make mostly dubstep, which isn't exactly my cup of tea, but I'd love to hear more stuff like this. Cool sounds. I like how the drums don't try to overpower the mix. The vocals sound really distant and detached. The guitar has this weird flanger on it that reminds me of No Quarter. Really cool stuff going on here.

IIPhase responds:

I make all kinds of stuff but i am into dub at the moment not saying forever.

[-GM- Domo]

All these tracks have great fucking texture. And I'm in love with these drum sounds. They work extremely well for your style. This would be great for scoring a film.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thank ya man.

[Smile you Son of a Bitch!]

I agree with thecoreman. Even if you don't have the best recording equipment, you can still EQ the various tracks: what would help the track the most is making a cut somewhere between 2 and 4 kHz (wherever the sound is most grating). A bassline would also give a foundation to the track. Although, given the way the track is right now, it could make good elevator music. I mean, it's a tad fast for elevator music, but it could fill that niche. Keep experimenting, and soon you'll strike gold.

JimmyTheCaterpillar responds:

Woot!

[Wolfie - What I Fight For]

Cool track. Just curious - what mic do you use? How do you use it? How far away are you from the mic when you record? I'm wondering because I was listening to another one of your tracks and it had a similar problem - the vocals are really nasally. I'm pretty sure that's not how you sound in reality, so I think it could be an EQ issue or odd mic placement, or a cheap mic, but I've heard you rerecorded these tracks? I tend to put a sock right over the mic so I don't blow into it and get that noise. Then I have my mouth right up (less than 2 inches) from the mic, and it generally sounds pretty good. Then again, we could have completely different setups. Anyway, cool track. Love the beat. The snare has this clang quality to it that kinda bugs me (it sounds like someone hit the snare and a tom tom at the same time) but it's not too big an issue. It's probably an old-school hip hop style motif. Nice rapping. Interesting music. Keep up the good work!

Wolfie responds:

I use Blue Microphone's Snowball, a USB mic. To be honest, I don't have a fancy set-up (or any set-up, really). I just kinda have my mic up on a platform high enough to reach my face, and I just record. I stand roughly about 4-6 inches away, with a pop filter inbetween. It -could- be an EQ issue since I recently decided to mess with my original EQ settings. I probably never noticed it sounding nasally because I got used to how it sounded, I suppose (and boy, if I -do- actually sound nasally in real life but just never noticed it, then that'll suck lol). I'll have to look into it. And yeah, I've re-recorded my stuff, so they'll all have this problem, probably.

Thanks for the review! You know about this stuff much more than I do, so I appreciate reading your tips.
