Fretzone responds:

Thanks man :) I was really going for something authentic but original , I'm really happy you liked it

Its always a guess if people understand scales (no offence ofcourse, in general theres alot of music on newgrounds that has utilized no understanding of the prior) and at first i held my breath a bit on the boops fearing it would just keep looping the same thing (wich happens alot in the prior aswell) but 1:40m in i already recogniced you know what youre doing. 1:15 was very refreshing, funny i also do something like that with 2 diff pianos in one of the last tracks for the game i work on myself.. ahwell. Im going to make a backflip here and land my feet on the 5 stars if you dont mind. -cal.

Neon-Bard responds:

Thanks a million for the review, Cal. Listening to Wires and Gates now is like looking into the distant past (in terms of music). Honestly, I think it's a pretty catchy tune -- the melody holds up relatively well and I'm proud of it. Now, that being said, I have no choice but to shake my head with inward contempt at some of my musical choices with this track. The mix is kinda shaky, there are some patterns that need work, and the track is a tad repetitive at times. BUT, I made this over a year ago now and I still consider my skills to be in the infancy of learning about music, composing, etc.

I plan on revisiting the entire LogicBots soundtrack some time this year, in order to learn more and create a better sound for the game in general. Anyway, your review is much appreciated -- thank you for the kind words. :)

I enjoy the instrument flux choices in the intro, and the chipstuff doesnt kill it so im going to just fall forward on my keyboard in the number 5 direction now. Great succes for chip mix land. -cal.

Step responds:

I know how experienced you are with chiptune so I'm extra glad you think it worked out. Thanks for reviewing!

generic progression but no falsa, obviously some ratio knowledge/know what youre doing. (alot of people making chip do not) ill listen to some more of you.

Thanks for the comment.. If you interesting more my music.. Can check my music stocks on my MAIN PAGE ;)

Extremely poor im sorry to say, you should get some theory lessons imo. Its also repetitive but worst of all theres instrumentations used that are nowhere near 8bit. Normally i dont like to make negative reviews but youre someone who clearly needs one. Please do yourself a favor and study some music theory. -cal.

Daydream-Anatomy responds:

It's all following the scale, key, the notes mostly follow the chord progression. I never said they were 8 bit either, the title is just chipbit heart.

Everyone could use more theory knowledge, but I know enough to know I wasn't that off.

beep bap boop, bi be bo boop! Its very catchy and happy, but you already know that. I like the detail you put in this, i do wonder if you use plugins for some effects or make them yourself like i do?. Anyway, this is expressive top quality retro music imo. Now excuse me as i 5 and fave this. -cal.

Luer responds:

thanks bro. I make my own synths since 8bit sounds is pretty easy to make ;)

Its very simple but not irritative, all i feel like is missing is a middle-instrument, something like a recurring synth or sine~line, perhaps a soft electric guitar, like a single note chirping by sometimes. Its nice regardless.
-cal.

Satyre responds:

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll try to add some more instruments, also the ones you mentioned and see how it will come out. When it becomes better I'll upload a new version :)

Tranquil ambience, good thematic appliance of the instrumentations correlating with the setting.

Can see this working as a title screen thing, not as a level track as its simply too static for that. :)
-cal.

Satyre responds:

Thanks for the review. I have to add some more parts to the song in the future, cause as you mentioned it's to static atm to be used as a level track, which it was meant to be used to. Other reviewers from the project gave me that hint too :)

perfect loop, but this track is more suited for a town imo, must be the toms and choice of instrumentation on the melody. From my experience what works best for a space tune are cut synths or sines and likewise beeps..

Then again i dont know anything about this project so perhaps its relevant to the whole.

good work anyway.
-cal.

Satyre responds:

Thanks for the suggestions of the instrumentation. It is supposed to be played as a space travel music for a child game. The songs "winter" and "falling snow" are also supposed to be played in the same game (which is unpublished atm), maybe they can be heard to see if they their style fit together. It's interesting to hear that it could be used as a town theme, which I really didn't imagine :)

why the heck did i have this on loop for a hour lol.

must be nice to listen to or something, go finish those tracks if you havent already. :P

I will finish the tracks for sure! Thanx =)
