[Rime of the Ancient Mariner-3]

haha were reading that in my british lit class

great job!

pumodi responds:

thanks man

[Stare At The Sun (Cover)]

awesome start

should have done vocals tho
that guitar sounds almost reggae like lol

[[JL] Loser]

hmmm = |

try downloading more vsts, slayer and fl keys and other presets get old super fast.

JohnLeprechaun responds:

I know, but I don't have the full version of FL Studio, so most of the instruments are only demos.

[Burning Sensation]

amazing! euphoric! =D

awesome song, great synths.
but the melody did get old and repetitive =/
and the crowd cheering shouldve only been done once or twice in my opinion
awesome job!!!!!!!

[The Coming End]

awesome!

panning the guitars like you did was very cool, helped fill the sound.
the double picking was very nice too, riffs overall were very cool
but really, spend the time to put drums and bass to this, even vocals, man that'd be so cool.
ahh that harmonizing was so sick!
solo was kinda...eh i guess. sounded off-key at times.
overall good riffs but really needs to have drums man.

ZzEpiCzZ responds:

When I find some decent drum sounds I'll do some drums, or I may get someone I know to do them because I'm not very good at writing drums.

The solo is kind of sloppy and I want to redo it (though I probably won't) since I was up at like 2 in the morning recording it, lol.

Bass might not be as necessary since the guitars already had a lot of low end to them, and I don't want to muddy up the track too much. I'm probably gonna add to this eventually, because this is my favorite track so far.

[Pokemon Bike ride METAL :3]

i liked the bike theme from GSC better =P

it sounded way too cluttered
maybe try running some EQs and compressors?
the lead guitar had some slips and messups where you shouldve taken the time to just do another take.
there were also some barely noticeable finger scrapes in the rhythm guitar that makes the song a little less professional
the drums were too repetitive, i mean at least a drum fill wouldve been cool.
great idea, but you shouldve put more time into recording it, it couldve been a lot more professional sounding. but great job i digged it

TreKitasudesu responds:

THANKS.

it was a long time ago, and my work has improved by a large margin. be on the lookout!!

[My Torment with Vocals]

sick!

didnt really like the intro, sounded like a shitty korn song lol
the tone of the guitar is kinda wimpy
didnt really sound like there was any bass guitar at all
the vocals were pretty awesome for the most part
there were a couple times where the mic was too close to ur mouth
most of the screaming was dead on and very cool, high shreeks and the low growls reminded me somewhat of black dahlia murder.
but some of the other screaming sounded like you were constricting on your throat too much.
and the regular screaming was kinda.......alright.
overall i enjoyed it, great job!
next time maybe hold the mic out more and lower volumes of instruments to accommodate the vocals (they were being drowned out at times)
you probably dont have the resources but recording an actual drumset wouldve made it a whole lot better.
and also maybe stick to 2 different kinds of screaming per song, feels like you varied it up too much.
again, great job!

TreKitasudesu responds:

thanks actually, it was just the vocals. I forgot to credid the original Creator, Pitchblak for letting me use the instrumental version.

I'll Credit Pitchblak and let him know what you had to think.

thanks for the Criticism and I'll have more of my ORIGINAL stuff up soon.

[E-Ham]

couldve been loads better

tone of the guitars were nice
but the chords sounded nasty
kinda like you didnt plan anything and just layered doodles

RebGateII responds:

yeah.....too true......i'm gettin there...but it's my damn short attention span that gets the best of me.......but thanks for the criticism...

[[:Conspiracy:]]

diggin it

nice job.
wouldve been really cool if it built up to a fast climactic part or something.

[exzez - untitled #alpha]

nice

but the intro building up was a little long =/
i liked the 1:30 part
after that chords seemed to clash or somethin
maybe from layering two different chord progressions

exzez responds:

thanks for your comment =)
