Alright, i got a new crazy tune up called: Fireball Land!

Im having some troubles thinking of what i could do with it though. i was thinking of maybe telling a story of some average person caught in some 8 bit scary land and building up to some singing in the chorus. What do you think?

Hi bud,

cool tune:

I think it could use a tight drum mix, some filter movement, and a rethink of where your going to use delay, chorus, and verb. Some of the sounds could use a real push back with a large verb to relax em a little....

The premise of the tune, the whole 8 bit fear-land.... Thats pretty interesting... But, some low pass filtering, more comp on them drums, and a bit more verb, will really glue, strengthen and relax....

IMHO,

Cheers

Very cool! Some reverb might be a good idea, but considering it's based off of 8-bit music, less reverb helps maintain that nostalgic feel. I think the drums could have a bit more power in spots, but they're okay as they are now, too.

Adding vocals will really help because as it stands now, the song doesn't really go anywhere after a while. If you don't add vocals, maybe layer in a few more melodies as it continues to break up the monotony.

But really, it's pretty cool. While I speak of monotony, it still does more than some stuff I've heard.

hey thanks guys! i am still experimenting with it and will take your suggestions into consideration. The track was made with the idea of vocals in it so there definitely will be some.

ill post it back when its finished.
