Reviews for "SN | Guitar Shredding | SN"

WOOOHOOO

HOW DID YOU DO THAT GUITAR HOLDING THING??? AND HOW COULD I APPLY THAT TO ANY SYNTH??

this was awsome. You must submit another version, fully equalised and mastered with effects and a better name. love those drums near the end. GW

SessileNomad responds:

guitar holding thing is called portemento, and it can only be done with VST's that are compatible w/ FL

i wont make anything like this for a while, not my style

That was AMAZING!

You can do those crazy guitar melodies on your keyboard?? Man, anyone who could do that earns my respect. Great job, that was awesome.

Melodies are really nice (I've heard too much darn glitch from you; it's nice to hear what great melodies you can do [Hehe, I rhymed. I feel like being poetic... :D]). Guitar melodies were so fast-paced but great at the same time. Trust me, making this 50 BPM faster is a recipe for disaster (Again with the poetic...), since it's already really fast as it is. Piano melodies were perfect.

The instruments were really nice, they remind me of Guitar Vs Piano, except with a much slower piano, obviously. Speaking of the piano, I think it needs a bit more reverb to it, or maybe some delay. I think you should add some more effects around the song, although the pitch-bending on the guitar was cool, and that little effect at around 0:24 which sounded like a reverse Hihat was good too.

Very good transitions, especially the one with the effects, like at 0:25. Drum transitions weren't bad either. Song structure is very good, and the variety is fantastic. Piano intro was very well done, with a good buildup afterwards, but the ending wasn't too good. After hearing that effects, I expected it to continue guitar shredding after, but it just ended really strangely. Just continue more really fast guitar notes, and then end the song with a lot ending note.

Percussion, as usual, was flawless. There was a huge amount of variety of the drums throughout the song, and as Box-Killa said, the drums at the end were very well done and varied. Samples were superb, and the beats were extraordinary. I liked how you introduced them at the end too, with a cymbal every beat. Good job!

Definitely one of your best in my opinion, and you were one bad ending short of me fav'ing this song :\. Keep up the good work in general, this song was great!

i think its very funny that you think this is one of my best, cuz i actually think its one of my worst, as far as EQing goes and stuff, i really only made it to show box-killa what i can do on keyboard, its probly just a genre thing

dont get too used too not hearing glitch, i have a beautiful peice in the works right now

thanks for the review dude, im glad you liked it, and yes i can do this on a keyboard, i just need to get a midi cable, mabye ill make a "live" version xD

Woah, from the title of the submission I was expecting to hear you start shredding... then the song started out slow and I had no reason to believe that you would be doing that in this song at all, then to the pause in the song and the shredding started!

It was really fast paced and really enjoyable to listen to. If there wasn't such thing as heavy metal I would probably be listening to something such as this because it's so fast paced.

I guess the songs only weakness is the ending. I didn't really like the way you ended it, but at the same time can't really think of a good way to end it either. Perhaps it was a tad bit short as well.

SessileNomad responds:

yeah the ending was just done so i could submit it faster, nothin special about it

im glad i would be your substitute for metal xD

Not what I was expecting...

Well, this is certainly a different piece that shows you should not judge a book by its cover. What an amazingly calm intro for something that is called "guitar shredding". Okay, so we get onto that a little after the intro, but by then, I'm gobsmacked.

It may have taken me a few passes to discover that there is more to the tune than the intro, but when it actually gets to the shredding part, there is an issue with the speed of the drum beat - the second pass of the fast drum beat seems out of time fractionally and when you add the heavy metal sounding guitar to it, it all sounds slightly wrong. A little playing with that should see you right - perhaps just cool the drums off, as the shredding will sound great without drums, it's that powerful.

SessileNomad responds:

you know...listening again, i think i can feel what your saying about the drums, but its only when their fast....hmm...i think i might do some examining of this track later today

ppl seem to like this kind of shredding, cool i guess

peace out thx for review and flaw update

Nice, but would sound better on a real guitar :P

Yeah, I'm not a fan of artificial sounding guitars, because in my opinion they all don't sound very much like a real guitar, but anyway this track is pretty nice. Especially the intro caught me totally off guard. I was expecting something completly different when I read the title "guitar shredding".

It's a nice build up you have until you come to the "shredding" part, which sounds pretty good even though it's not played on a real guitar. ^^

I have to agree with Coop, the drums on the fast shredding part sound a little off. I can't really put my finger on it, but something just sounds or "feels" wrong there.

SessileNomad responds:

yeah i wish i had a more real guitar synth to use, or better yet, i wish i could really shred like that xD
