I really like the work you put into that lead. The lick at 0:37 and pretty much everything between 0:50 - 1:00. You got effing everything you could get out of a square-saw instrument.

That's a blue waffle, isn't it...

Yea dude and thanks for the feed back i will.message you my issue and why i am using a squere wave

No doubt you have excellent control over your voice, and on top of that the editing and effects you put on this vocal track really shows you know how to work with vocal recordings. I've listened to some of your other songs, your skill with vocals is still what stands out to me. Props!

tallestrose responds:

Thank you so much for your review! It is super hard for me to control my voice, but I'm able to train on a regular basis, mostly by singing along the synthesized vocals my vocoder makes. The majority of the effects you hear are applied to my voice in real time by my pedals, and the reverb and compression is made thanks to a preset I made - and constantly play with - on my external sound card's computer interface.

I know it's a lot of boring info, but that's pretty much how I record and manage my voice, and I'm really happy that you like it! :) Thanks again!

Okay I've typed up a review for this song like three times now and I've never actually posted it. Song's awesome, definitely makes me thing of the space needle in Seattle for some reason. By any chance did you have triple buffer on while making this song? Kinda curious how you came up with the title.

BoredMusic responds:

Yeah. My brain started to repeat the phrase "Triple Buffer Double Rudder" for no real reason. I could NOT stop repeating it many many times in my head, like a song that wont stop playing in your head. The phrase doesn't make any sense. I searched and searched and it means nothing. Just an odd little thing brains do.

The sample was of a guy in seattle I recorded so Im sure the background noise somehow/maybe reminded you of it :D Which is super cool when I think about it.

Love the tempo change and props for not just using your first drop as the pattern for 174 bpm drop. You tastefully brought back ideas without being redundant and as far as mixing it sounds great on my end. Drops are sick m8!

Ravitex responds:

Ooooh, I remember you! Thanks for the feedback though m9!

Love that lead, catchy as hell! You signal the transitions very well with your percussion. Making pitch bending work in a song definitely takes a special kind of finesse, you nailed that here.

Props!

K this is just awesome.

Everything flows so well, the way you introduce new intruments, the percussion and the modulation, props!

Also that wallpaper is awesome! Blender is where it's at, you should check out the Vray renderer, but cycles is still surprisingly effective when you know how to use it. It's also very fitting for your song.

Noisysundae responds:

Actually, the idea on this one starts with the picture rather than the music itself. :P

My computer isn't good enough for rendering and I got the picture out of the internal renderer. I gotta upgrade it before playing with renderers. Besides, I use Blender mainly for game dev.

Now this is very different. Heavy vocoding on the bass and off beat rests, very abstract percussion which in this case works well.

I don't know how to rate this or criticize this, other than the pattern is repeated a bit much, so 3 stars perhaps? Don't place too much meaning on this rating. You sound like a very experimental abstract artist. Definitely keep your abstract style, but work on your flow.

I'm curious what I'll see from you in the future!

Trell13 responds:

Thank you

Now this I really like, makes me think of an 80's style film set in a city in the future. Would like to hear more of this one!

Nice leads, but most of all I like the ambient background sounds. It sounds like you put more work into the background than the instruments you put as the primary focus. Maybe switch the focus between the lead and one of your background instruments throughout the song intermittently? Maybe that would be cool. Another thing that can sometimes sound cool especially for claps is to have a short lead-in sound right before the clap like a soft reversed snare or a noise ramp.

Interesting title too, I'm putting 3.5 mostly because it sounds like an incomplete idea however I guess that would make sense considering you say it's from a dream, very curious process there.

Stapless responds:

cheers for the review mate! :P

Solid transitions, everything flows well and your instruments work together well! The only suggestion I have is for the intermittent basses in the very beginning. Perhaps add some reverb on those sounds so that they fit with the ambiance a bit better.

Props!

nitrokill217 responds:

Thanks for ur feedback and I get what you mean with the bass. May be making a track to sequel this in a few months called "The Cosmic Creation" and then "The Astral Acknowledgement" shortly after that If I get the time. Anyway, thanks for this and hope thr best for u too.
