QVX 797's Song Thread <<NEW: Home Stretch>>

LOL so you don’t like giving out 5/5

QVX_797 · November 19, 2010, 6:37am

Of all the things…i f***ed up the drumming…in the chorus i solely made (with a small edit by ix i think…) <.< DAMMIT!!
The guitars sounded good at least <.<

StarWars_XD:

Wow…that was insane. [Thats exactly what i was saying the whole time we were making it!!]

Loved the intro, loved the atmosphere, even loved the solo. [Thanks to ix for that orgasmic solo XD]

Only problems I see are the chorus and outro. The chorus riff is amazing for this song, it slows down without losing power and is epic enough that I’d love to hear it a ton. But the drumming…everywhere else I loved the drumming to death, but the chorus sounded underdeveloped because of the drums alone. [Well…to be honest its supposed to be slowed down a bit…kinda to catch up with the insanity and i couldn’t really think of anything else to put there…(maybe a tom solo but…) maybe the chorus just didn’t fit in with this song…damn i screwed up bad …]

Overall, not bad for a metal piece, I’d give, hmm…3.5/5? Yeah, that sounds about right. Btw, the off-tempo parts were incredible. The only reason I don’t like the outro is because it was progressive, whereas the rest of the song was instantaneous (as all metal should be). [Ok…the only reason we made it fade out is because of the title…“Revocation of Self” means to undo yourself or your life (devolving?)]

I actually really liked the song! That riff like in sheet 4 was incredible. The only thing was it got repetitive at the end (maybe you could have changed it around a little?). Also what sheets are the chorus? I’m not quite sure.

I loved the drumming throughout the song, just that maybe there was a little too much laziness in the chorus. Because it’s such a slow chorus compared to the rest of the song, it allows for a bit of lazyiness to be acceptable, even better than if you had continued pounding hard. But it really did need a snare hit.

[Ok…the only reason we made it fade out is because of the title…“Revocation of Self” means to undo yourself or your life (devolving?)]Well…I don’t really see a point in that. I mean if the song is called “Rain” it’s good to have a rain effect in it to strengthen the title but what is it’s named “Storm?” It doesn’t need rain and thunder effects at all to be a storm, simply to go insane and have a lot of loud instruments. I understand the concept of naming a song and following the name in the song but personally I would rather have the name come out after the song is finished.

I normally name my songs about 1/3 to 1/2 way into it, but normally by that time I know what kind of piece im gonna make, but I try to reinforce that with its name, not the other way around lol

I lol’d at the 5/5

? you messed up the drums?
…if that messing up then what is good drums? Cause that would have to be Roast x 2

StarWarsXD · November 19, 2010, 10:12pm

Like I said, I loved the drums to death everywhere EXCEPT the chorus, which is kinda major. I think QVX has taken it a bit too seriously though.

QVX_797 · November 20, 2010, 8:16am

Star, you keep saying it needs a snare hit in the chorus…there is…what i’m saying is…i wouldn’t know how to improve it, if i try any other beat it just doesn’t match the chorus…
Another thing…if the chorus was perfect…what would you rate the song then?

(lol and the 3.5/5 thing was a joke xD the 3. was still there…but you probably already knew that)

Star, you keep saying it needs a snare hit in the chorus…there is…what i’m saying is…i wouldn’t know how to improve it, if i try any other beat it just doesn’t match the chorus…Well I know there was, but the speed and ferocity of the drum fill at the very end of the chorus and the fact that this is a metal song means that it should’ve been placed much more often.
Another thing…if the chorus was perfect…what would you rate the song then? Because the chorus was such a major thing, for it to be absolutely perfect would bump my rating from 3.7 to 3.9 or 4. Remember, this is really out of 4.5, because I consider 4.5 to be the highest a person should really be able to strive for.

(lol and the 3.5/5 thing was a joke xD the 3. was still there…but you probably already knew that)I didn’t until I quoted your post, because the size on it was to small to register on notessimo. I believe the smallest you can go is this, size=4

(note that my own comments don’t count…)

Ok…i sent you a pm of what the chorus could’ve been…

QVX_797 · November 27, 2010, 7:27am

Nuselline · November 27, 2010, 1:12pm

You’ll get used to it.

Karo · November 28, 2010, 7:54pm

All silliness aside, your recent tracks are awesome! [high fives]
By the way, Revocation of Self is BEAST! *o *

ixsetf · November 30, 2010, 12:13pm

sounds… happy I can give you a couple tips to help write brutal riffs over PM if you want.

QVX_797 · November 30, 2010, 7:52pm

yes please

QVX_797 · November 30, 2010, 7:55pm

Clockwork

Octomarine · December 5, 2010, 11:09pm

Improving alot, QVX

Nuselline · December 6, 2010, 12:01am

That was great, QVX! You’ve got some nice melodies there, but … it seemed kinda monotonous towards the end for me. I know you were going for a kind of regular “clocky” feel but it would have been interesting to throw some long notes or something into the middle.

QVX_797 · December 6, 2010, 11:15am

Thanks for the feedback…
Now atm i am doing so many songs at once…and also schoolwork… and to the person i am doing a collab with (secretness ) sorry for the delay…but when i do start again…ill do alot at once since this is the last week at school…
anyway…
This is a song i have been working on…and i was going to keep it a secret until i finished it…but finishing it is the problem however…i need ideas LOL and feedback to see if its worth continuing? XD
Preview 5

Any ideas for names would be appreciated too

QVX_797 · December 11, 2010, 4:51pm

Delusional Ruins
