:: 'Baka'


Please let me know your thoughts, what it needs more/less of. And stuff. Thanks. I plan to send it off soon.

I like it. . The main riff synth-thing could be a bit brighter, IMO - but, not sure, because I'm probably half def by now. Also, a dash more sporadic insanity craziness couldn't hurt. I really like when a song goes nuts for a few bars and then goes back to normalness, then goes nuts for a bar again when you don't expect it to, then back to normalness for BA&DG%ADS@GD!!! - see wasn't that fun...?

Pretty profound concept, in my opinion. The tune seems to mirror the text part very nicely and the other way around, from my point of view, generating a really clean and smooth impression and the only small changes I'd apply would be just to befit my personal preferences more.

However, I'd let the beat kick back in @ 3:05, other than 2:59 for fully utilizing the ~2:50 passage and it might be just my headphones, but the distortion from 3:47 to 4:02 seems to make the overall appearance, especially the bass, a bit muddy. The short kick @ 4:28 was masterfully placed, why not making more out of it, for example @ 3:19? Intro and finish perfect, hands-down.

Great job in any case.

I fucking love it Played it like three times already.

Needs more cowbell, duh Fraktale gave some nice pointers though.

Thank you for your suggestions, I've upadated this, haven't quite added any crazy edits like Noth suggested which is a good idea I plan on doing. And I haven't made it come back in sooner like you suggested fraktale, but that's a good idea and I may do it. Please listen and give me feedback when you have the time, I plan to enter it into a competition for a compilation, might get me noticed. I have to submit two tracks, trying to make one of them this. Arigatou/thanks/danke/merci beaucoup.

UPDATE...
::Baka.

a dark tune indeed.....

While the bass seems more massive and "how it should feel", it overall lost a slight amount of clearance, I'd say. Maybe my old Beyerdynamics cheating on me. With poking the equalizer slightly in the area of ~4-7kHz however I got a much nicer result. Makes the speech and effects stand out a bit more, for my perceiving.

Sweet would be maybe adding a single "how" @ 3:39,5 to underline the break and also repeating the question in 4:08-4:15 makes it slightly overused, I think. I'd simply cut that and let stand the counterquestion for it's own, repeating itself to emphasize and since I guess, that's exactly what it's about *looks at title*, this would perhaps serve the matter.

That's everything I could come up with now; a nice improvement to the first version, for my ears.


Whatever you gonna do with it, I'm very interested to hear the final version.
