[Xaake]

Ok, here it goes, I am a bit nervous, but this is my first attempt at using reaper.

Haake,
I dl'ed your song earlier but have been so busy I haven't gotten time to listen. I'll post back later after I've had time to listen.

I finally got a chance to listen to your song Xaake. No need to be nervous about that attempt, I thought it was very nicely done.
I like the synth bass bed in conjunction with the drum part. There was one part I thought the drum line may have tugged on the rest of the tune (around the :47 and 1:57 mark), but that may be due to my taste. The rest of the performance was very well done. Production also sounded very clean. I also enjoyed the electric guitar part building into the song, and also the fade out end. In my humble opinion, a first attempt to be proud of, good work.

Thanks for the kind words!

I am not sure what you mean by the drums tugging. Do you mean that they are out of sync at those places, or that they promises something that doesn't happen in the song afterwards. (Those two places uses the same fill, so it might be something strange with that fill).

Xaake,
To my non golden ears, it seems like the fill in those 2 spots kinda works against the rhythym guitar. Like I said, it can probably be attributed more to personal taste than anything. And after all, I am just a lowly bass player, so please take any comment I make with a grain of salt. I still think this song was a very solid piece of work. Happy Reapering!

I'm in agreement with Contrahell, an excellent first try for sure. A cool song. The drum fill is a little jarring at first. But other than that, it's excellent.

cheers,
