[Keygen Beats II [Full Album]]

I came for the free Sony Vegas, stayed for the sick tunes.

[Eric Hates Dragonball Z (Intro Theme)]

yooooo rock fukin on, just curious whats do u use for a guitar tone? I can never get good low
pinch harmonic sounds like that.

Burn7 responds:

Thanks dude! For this I think I used a POD HD Desktop edition, they have a few amp sims on there. But I'd EQ the FUCK out of them because raw they sound VERY digital. Typically I'll aim for a more dynamic mid-tone sound before anything else with those older digital amp sims like a Line 6 POD or a Digitech pedal because if you aim for the highrange it always seems to sound somehow even more digital and fake. Though I guess it really depends on the tone you're looking for.

Nowadays I'd HIGHLY recommend using one of Neural DSP's amp sims and just recording a DI. There are so, so many cool things you can do with them. Personally I love the Archetype Nolly plugin but that's because I tend to gravitate toward prog rock/metal tones with a bit more body.

Also, on the pinches: It's unfortunately just about practice. There are like 3 ways to pull of a low pinch and the way I accidentally stumbled upon it is different than most tutorials will give you. Instead of doing anything special with your picking hand or doing open harmonics and bending them afterwards, if you play any note with your index finger while gently resting your pinky with the same string a few frets down you can get a really solid harmonic tone out of it. By striking that harmonic hard and releasing the pinky you can bend the fuck out of it. Also, depending on where your pinky is you can get different harmonic tones out of it. That way you can get a solid harmonic anywhere on the fretboard without worrying about pick dynamics or anything like that.

It doesn't work nearly as well on higher notes though and for those I'd recommend the method where you use a tiny bit of your picking hand's thumb while you strike the note.

Good luck! And thanks for the review!

[Techno One]

That bass synth really reminds me of my childhood. I don't know how old you are but back in the early 2000s that 303 sounding arp defined my love of techno shit. It really reminds me of a game I used to play called DethKarz, and I get a lot of nostalgia out of it. Great track.

Drums are mixed good and the background pads fukin rule. Love it

ThePal responds:

The acid bass/lead's definitely supposed to resemble something that would've played in the '90s/early '00s, I've never heard of the game, but it must be good since it reminds you of it.

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it a lot!

[Hairless Whisper]

Not gonna lie, I thought it was gonna be Careless Whisper but Baldi was singing it.

Staintocton responds:

The power of April 1st

[Less is more]

Nice! Whats OHB?

Viraxor responds:

OHB is a One Hour Battle, a competition where you must make a song in only one hour. They are often hosted on Battle of the Bits. Thank you for the review :)

[Peter Griffin]

hey peter

[Vista Sounds - İdeal]

I like it, it sounds like the bass is being drowned out or is too high in the mix. That or one of the pads is clashing with it. Drum sounds are dope, maybe bring the kick out more or have it sidechain more. Good job homie.

Vista-Sound13 responds:

I appreciate you stopping by and offering some feedback, bud! :D

[Forlorn]

Nice song, I think the hi-hats hit too high of a frequency that it sounds like its clipping (idk if that's just my speakers or not but that's what I heard), I think maybe low pass a little bit on them or do a like saturation mixed with a compressor and the low pass to get a kinda 80s vinyl sound.

Kick and snare are good, I think the snare needs to hit harder, and less white noise. The pads fucking rule and the synth leads do too.

Overall good ass track.

Preds responds:

thanks for the feedback! I'll try to fix those things once I release it on streaming services :D I appreciate it

[Afterlife]

Good job, its like cinematic DnB, good drum mix. I like it

Benji-G responds:

Thanks mate!

[Nighttime Joyride]

I like it. Good drums, nice progression, and nice tones. I think it needs more action, or ear candy and it'd be sick.

ThePal responds:

All this feedback makes me wanna go work on it again, haha, I might just do that sometime soon! Thank you for the feedback!
