[The Last Scotsman: Liam]

Loved this. What program do you use to program?

TheGreatKhalem responds:

I use FLS 10: Fruity Loops Studio 10, or FL Studio. But thank you! I'm going to fix it in the future, so expect a better version :D !

[Deep-Sea Diving]

Ska?

this belongs in the ska portal. it's good ska though!

trabajaba7 responds:

Yeah I suppose it does, but I always thought of this as very loosely ska, because when I think of ska I think of Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake, and this is nothing like them and I guess I thought it fit more in indie. Genres suck end of story.
Thanks for the compliments though!

NICE

I just came. this song was amazing, and I loved the transition in the middle. It sounded really nice, and professional. The only weird thing is at like 2:00 minutes when the guitar part freezes up. It might have been an uploading problem or my computer though

trabajaba7 responds:

Thank you very much for the compliments, and I dont know what happens at that part, it seems the problem is fixed if you download it though!

Want More

I need to find some more of your band, this is the first real ska song i've heard on this portal. all the rest are like techno pieces of crap

Setu-Firestorm responds:

I actually do not have a band. I make all my music digitally, and I mostly try to vary my sound with each new rock project.

As far as ska goes, I think all I have other than this is my ska cover of the Angry Video Game Nerd theme.

[Cat's Got Your Tongue]

new favorite

This reminds me of a very early SoCal ska song. Love the punk influences with the ska, sort of like Catch 22 or Reel Big Fish. it may sound cool if you distorted the guitar during the chorus and picked the tempo up, making it like hardcore punk kick ass ness. just if you guys ever experiment..

HyruleanHyroe responds:

Thanks for the review! We do have some punk-ier stuff, too, floating around somewheres....

[Never, Maybe, Forever]

HELL YES REEL SKA!

Dude i saw your response to the post below me, i love the aquabats! i was going to go to the reel big fish/suburban legends/ koo koo kangaroo / aquabats show but D.C was the closest to me (and i live in NC) i recently started a ska band, we're called 88 MPH!!! congrats dudes, this made me wet myself

HyruleanHyroe responds:

Thanks man! Lots of luck with your own band, keep the sound alive! :D

[Star Wiener ep. 1]

All you need is my wiener.

I love your lyrics I can't even express. If you added some cool distorted guitar to the "DIEEE!" parts it would be pretty epic.

YouOutToast responds:

haha thx

[Night Of Redemption]

not here

You need to put this under Heavy Metal or Punk. You scream like a god! Congrats it takes true skill. You guys rock. Keep it up!

Neo-VG-Dude responds:

thansk man i really appreciate it. I am very proud of my screaming

[Ska Void 7]

hmmm

I can defiantly hear the ska in hear but i'd say you should put this under the techno genre. I hear the fusion jazz too. Unfortunately most of the kids in this genre portal are looking for the ska like Less Than Jake or Fishbones. I like this song though. Very good work but possibly move it to techno. I'd really love to hear you do some heavy techno because i'm a huge techno fan.

ragingmullet responds:

Haha well, thanks a ton. I guess the entire 'Ska Void' series I have put together it an attempt to put techno and ska together. It seems like some of them, such as this one, should be under techno where as some of the others should be under ska. Thanks for the review!

[Scotland the Brave Remix]

Re-do it

Hey man, I like most of your other work but I have some constructive criticism for this one.

For the entire song you should speed the tempo up a little bit. As soon as you're done with the intro with just the melody part, you should really kick it with some awesome techno drums. (at 0:20 i think) Use the loop you used at 3:35 but harder louder and a wee bit faster.

The melody sound sort of sounds like an ice cream truck, not sure if this is what you were going for but maybe change it to that same sound that you used in the background at 0:19.

This song has great potential, I think you should make a remix of this remix just make it faster, heavier drum loop and change the melody sound.

Cobra151 responds:

lol, you know, I had never thought of the Ice cream truck thing, but now that you mention it, it really does. I might redo that someday.

I dunno about the drum thing, or the speeding up thing for that matter. I listen to songs where people suddenly speed up, particularily that early on in the song, and it drive me crazy (not sure why, it just does). I wasn't really going for a trance or dance feel here, but....you know Maybe I'll do that. I'll think about it, and PM you if a ever do re-remix this. Deal?
