I liked it, but I don't think I felt the bass or the kick as much as I'd like... it reminded me of listening to it through some cheap phones... overall, the song is really nice, but it's not pulling me in.. it's hard to explain... I guess I'm not "feeling it."

The best way I can explain it is... when I listen to music, I like to close my eyes and let the music take me somewhere. When listening to this, I close my eyes, and I'm still in my bedroom.

I hope that makes sense. >_>

Re: sleeplessdragn - Sunshine Stone

I think that's due to the very fast transitional pace. It came to a point where I didn't want to stretch measures and create monotonous sound, and the song came out sounding rushed.

On a different note, I hate, hate, hate my ****ing kick and bass. I can't figure out a half decent way to widen the sound without splatting the kick or making my bass sound retarded and over-imposing.

FL, with a variety of VSTs and a massive slew of FX plug ins.

There's not enough transition from the buildup to the actual melody itself. Rather, there's transition, but there's not a clear turning point where the melody changes to the primary chorus.

Yes, I know that sounded roundabout, but great job none the less.

Other then that, master the low freqs a little better, and you're set.
Edit: I noticed my post was slightly too critical.

Re: sleeplessdragn - Sunshine Stone

I liked this song.
First to say good things: the production is excellent. The use of filter sweeps is professional and the choice of instruments/drum kits were well made.
There seemed to be a conflict of whether the piece was in a major or minor key, especially at the beginning of the tune. I'm not sure if this was the artistic intent but a couple notes in the lead synth went out of the scale. It's hard to say since you used open 4th chords in your pad. The form of the tune is well constructed and the little details (like were those backwards drum kicks?) gave the piece flavor.

Not enough tension!

Jk, good job.

Re: sleeplessdragn - Sunshine Stone

oh yea, I was gonna comment on this a while ago.

I really liked it. What do the lyrics say?

One thing I felt, was the pad. One of them (unless there is only one), feels way too reverby, which makes the whole song feel kind of muddy or something.

Other than that, I love it. Your melodies are awesome! This song makes me feel happy ^_^.

Re: sleeplessdragn - Sunshine Stone

Something about "I don't make my music complicated".

**sleeplessdragn** · 01-14-2007, 02:09 PM

Re: sleeplessdragn - Sunshine Stone

I believe that is what it says, ripped from the Mead Rai Filterchild radio show. Don't ask where the anime sample came from, you don't want to know.

EDIT: Actually, I think it says, "I would have to actually make my music complicated".
