Mine's a Guiness

What with the name Irish Loop I was expecting a sort of Irish folk loop, instead it's quite a bi-beat affair with a nice catchy hook to it. I'm not too keen on the sounds used and i'm not really sure how Irish this sounds, but it certainly is catchy.
A good solid loop, that sounds like it was meant for a SNES game menu music in my ears.

you see.. when i here a bagpipe i think of ireland for some reason.
and i tried to make it sound like a bagpipe... but well well... back to the Studio =P

anyway... thx for your review man.

Nice stuff.

Perhaps drop in a nice high lead melody and then this is ready for the Dancefloor. Good solid beats, good bass, good synths and fx.
This is a solid piece of Dance music, with everything in its right place.
Banging:)

DJRunaway responds:

Hahaha, thanks for the review man :) Yeah, I think I'm gonne add a nice highlead melody indeed...What a good plan :) Expect a version 2 soon :)

Greetz,

A bit too busy....

...but generally quite nice and experimental. I'm not too keen on the lead synth sound, i find it a bit weak. There's just too much goin on for me to enjoy it (Perhaps too much emphasis on the fx and weird samples than on the tune itself). I think it's ideal as an intro that could lead into glitch beats and something a bit more structured and coherent.
Nice to hear something that isn't totally quantized and sycopated Fruity Loops shite for a change.
good stuff.

DjLynchmobKillAthens responds:

thanx for the review... i definately agree that fruitiloops (and other programs of the like) are definately over used, despite them being functional and efficient....anywho, your actualy not hearing any samples at all, its all synthasized. i decided i was getting bored of drum mahcines.. and drum in general, so i decided to take a note from the noise genre and john kage and used noise as procussion. so the weird sounds and fx are actualy just as important as the incosistantly tempoed synth melody... this is the first of a series of songs that are AUTOBIGRAPHICALY... so its a bizzare bull shit pretentious art statmenet in genral, everyhting is bizzarely intentional and metaphorical....i'm curious as to weather or not i should post the rest of them. what you guys think?

Crisp production.

Great clarity and production. It's quite a slow progressing trk, kinda brooding, menacing, but ultimately i found it a little sparse. I think maybe adding some heavy breaks and a good solid bassline to it with some extra bleeps and blips would help.

Dj-Zabar responds:

I tryed to do something a little less chaotic and focus more on structure and clarity.
I guess it coulda used more bleeps and blips throughout.
Thanks for the Review, Always appreciate it.

I enjoyed it...

shame it's so short, reminds me a little of kid606. Nice vocal samples and simple but effective sped up beats.

I like.......

........the bass thud and the beats, but i'm not keen on the lead synth bell sound, it's too high in the mix and sounds a bit cheesy to me.
There's a nice sense of space in the mix and it has potential to be a good breakbeat trk.

Not bad........

Don't know what that other reviewer was on about tho. It sounds fine to me, just not at all finished, which is why i marked it down. i think it has potential, so maybe u should go on to make it into a full song. I find the bass a bit too intrusive tho, needs to be lower in the mix or a better sound i think.

Fuel2Fire responds:

Hm... maybe your on to something... I might mess around with it in between projects and if something good starts to come of it I make take the time to make it better. I'll check out what you said about the bass and adjust it properly.

But all and all I made it in like 3 mins for something that sounds dumb but fun lol.

Thanks for the review!

Kinda messy...

....nice rounded production on the sound, but it does nothing for me. Some good fx and a good basis for a trk, but nothing new.

Has its moments...

...it sounds very fruity loops, progressions and beats wise. There's some real great bits of melody and structure, but apart from that, it's all a litle messy and sounds very basic. I imagine u are trying to experiment with the software u have, and fair play to u, but it doesn't do anything for me. Sounds like someone trying too hard. The bass is all over the shop and it's very apparent that u have just programmed in random notes. A little more thought and structure would make this trk better.
I like the synth sound and riff that comes in around 45 secs, it all goes a little squarepusher for about 20 secs, but then goes back to the fruity loops sound that i dont like. In my opinion u have potential, but need to get a better grasp of structure and what sounds good, co after all, thats what music is all about.

Zerok responds:

Wicked review. The constructive criticism is appreciated.

This is all just experimentation, you're right. I do have an older program, and I'm uncovering new stuff every time I use it. Oddly enough, there were no randomizers used at all, unless by 'random' you meant just putting shit in and adjusting it so it sounded 'good enough'. That's pretty much all I did with the melodies.

I play drums, so making a beat isn't hard at all. It's just like sheet music on FruityLoops.

I intend to improve; I love making music. Your feedback helps a lot! Thank you.

It's better at the right speed...

...but i still find it unoriginal or should i say cliched, beacuse it has elements that have been overused in Trance music for many years.
Nice production and arrangement, but I would never listen to this sort of music anywhere else apart from in this Portal, cos I find it very old, regimanted and unispiring.
