So mister need-collab man

You really badly want to collaborate with someone do ya. And you're a Reason guy. PM me if you wanna collab with me :)

This song is great, very nice use of pads. Love the strings pad. They give a kind of breathing feeling. If this is one pad then I NEED THAT PATCH and if it's a lot of pads you did a very good job joining them.

The whale sound is very well placed, but you could've made the size of the reverb a lot larger, since it sounds WAY too much like it's locked in a room in opposition to the rest of the song, which is space-placed.

Fifen tenty zippy zappy

Excellent title too :D

Hello. :)

You don't seem to get too many reviews and this introduction to your song sounds a lot like the stuff I make. :P I'll give you one.

I LOVE the atmosphere in this song. It sounds just like my song, After the Nova, though not as spacey. Gives me the image of drifting peacefully down through the ocean, the environment slowly changing... aah, so relaxing for how late I'm up right now. XD

It does begin to drag on after a while... your effects, especially that formant-ish thing that plays now and then, are amazing but you don't quite use them well. Listening to this, I'm sure you could have come up with others to diversify the song, make it more enjoyable while keeping the great ambient feel. Actually - what VSTs/samples/whatever did you use for this song?

Your note progression in the main pad is a pair. Hah! XD You might want to diversify it more than that as the song moves on... sure, I understand you want to keep that feeling but there's a lot of potential here and you really should diversify it a bit more. You do - and it's great when you do, but I'd like to hear that more often. You know what I mean? ;)

Great song overall. Why don't you stop by my audio page sometime and review a song of mine? Judging by this song, a review for my song After the Nova (either version will do) would be interesting, as they're very similar in certain ways, but you can choose. ;) Much appreciated... and keep up the good work. It's been more than a month since you last submitted and it would be nice to hear a new one soon. :)

Tome89 responds:

I have reviewed you tune now :P and have something to compare too. I say lmao.

First off this is ambient and not chillout, and you should learn what's what.
IMO, diversifying is unneccesary. Have you ever heard drone ambient? That's music with only one chord that lasts for sometimes fifteen minutes.
The idea of ambient is to be ambient, simply put. Does the sound of a river change?

As for equipment (my favourite part):
I use no VSTs since I use Reason.
All the sounds in this track where made, from scratch, by me. No samples at all, no presets.
That's kind of the idea with experimental music.

Thanks for reviewing Karco!
The lack of recent reviews almost killed me.
