Haha wow

I remember when Spaceship Ride still had a bad rating. Now your stuff is getting a LOT more attention, haha. Finally.

This song is great. Though you're technically in the running for something I really want (a spot in BBT haha) I honestly hope they consider your stuff. Keep it up!

EricFreeman responds:

lmao, yeah, back in the day before I was super famous :P lol jk I only have eight people who marked me as their "favorite artist" on here. However, I'm the #8 dance/electronica musician in the Salt Lake City area according to ReverbNation: http://www.reverbnation.com/ericfreem an

And bro, it would be awesome if we both got in BBT :)

Very nice

The effects are awesome and the song is very well done.

The only thing I can suggest is work with the mixing a bunch. Change the kick to something heavier too to test it out. I think it'd sound better. Make sure the drums are quieter than the synth at all times but also make sure every instrument is heard. Of course, keep melody over harmony, but also keep melody over drums and harmony even with the drums.

That being said, if this were mixed differently then it may be a lot better. Good job overall!

"Of course, keep melody over harmony, but also keep melody over drums and harmony even with the drums"

That sentence made me make a double take, then I lol'd cause it was confusing, then i got it. Thanks for the review, I'll definitely fix it up a bit, I'm still new to the equalizing and stuff.

You have talent, sir.

Sorry about the name thing. I hate when that happens though, haha. Of course, the whole "a rose by any other name" thing applies here.

I wouldn't say this is my favorite of YOUR songs here, but anything you throw out is catchy and original. I really wish I had half of your composing abilities.

The delay effect is neat

This song is pretty great. I decided to check your stuff since I haven't in a while (you reviewed my song a long time ago haha) and I'm excited to hear this. Nice job!

2tailedknight responds:

why thank you good sir :3
send me a messege if you want me to check out your stuff as well

I love the synths you used

My favorite synth was definitely the portamento one.

Overall, this song is awesome. Keep it up!

bossler13 responds:

Thanks man! glad you like it =D

Awesome!

What's your primary synth (if you use FL Studio)? I love it and I've looked for one like it for a while.

SKILLZmakeKILLZ responds:

i created it

Good song!

I'd work with that primary synth at the beginning. It doesn't really match or it's too loud, and I can't figure out which. Perhaps a quieter, sharper synth could do it justice, or just a dull bass synth.

Regardless I like the melody you have going here. I look forward to more from you!

alexwin responds:

ou anyway thanks ... and yes, i know what you are need say ... my melodies and synths need something ...

thanks

I feel strange...

This song makes me feel like every 2 seconds or so I enter an alternate reality and it's hard to maintain my balance.

I know, it's weird, but that's my way of saying this is great.

I loved Donkey Kong 64. Thank you.

Haha this was great to hear this melody again!

I don't remember Mad Jack but I'm sure I would if I looked him up. I'll probably do that after this. I love this song by the way.

DahDoctow responds:

Hey thanks!

Mad Jack was probably the most memorable boss in the entire game. Great music and he had the craziest laugh.

Definitely something to check out!

Glances through author comments...

"For OpenLight I wrote a solo cause I know he loves solos..." Woo! Time to hear it, haha.

This song is great. I've been following the WIP's and it's only gotten better.

The solo is awesome too. It sounds very much like 8-bit solos in professional games. I think it should end with more of a climax into a more powerful version of the chorus, but it's still good.

PainasaurusRex responds:

Haha, yup, and I figured I needed practice anyway

Also, when writing in 8-bit doing epic is really hard, I'll try to get the post solo chorus to sound more powerfully, but like I said, it can be difficult, I only have 6 channels to work with, and the chorus uses all of them, so I'll see if I can't tweek it, and I'll just reupload it here and let you know, to see if I succeeded.

Once again, thanks for the review and the rating, it's appreciated :D
