[[dj-Jo] Life Line]

Bum dum bum bum

This seems to hold a very greatly done rhythm to it and I quite enjoy it as well. The tune seems to flow and I like the phone part you added in there as well. It sounded like you were going to try saving someone from killing themselves and you go after them as well. The beat is quite well composed and very quirky yet awesome at the same time.

The synth seems very dynamic as if hearing four of them play at the same time at all times here strangely. I enjoyed the lighter synth in the back though as it gave a hope induced feeling to it which I greatly enjoyed a lot too. The bass here was pretty much giving off a feeling of explosions to me I think. The drums here were great.

Enjoyed around 2:25 where it went down and slowly builds back up with a solid drum beat. The phone call was also great but where did it come from if I can ask? Then after the light build up and her asking something it blows up to full dubstep which sounds quite well done I think and very brutally great!

Overall, I think you managed to make a very solid piece that keeps the listener interested in hearing how the song will end. Greatly done.

dj-Jo responds:

First off, thanks for the review :D

And about the vocal sample
I recorded my sister on my blue yeti (usb mic) to somrthing we cooked up in a matter of minutes (which was a big surprise for us because we usually take forever to get ideas for songs with some kind of vocals in them.

Glad you liked the song :D

Chilly cheer

Kind of has a wintery feel to it as if going through Ponyville in the winter time and simply enjoying the area as you complete season themed task for the ponies there and discover more of who are and why friendship is even more magic than you ever though before!! Wow, what a mouthful. I have to say though, this has a mixture of winter and space put into it making it quite interesting to me indeed I think.

However I can also see where you are coming from in which it could possibly be Twilight's theme but also possibly Luna's theme. I wonder what Celestia's theme would sound like anyways.

The synth sounds very calm and for a majority of the song seems to produce both a winter arctic feel and a space feel as well. Almost as if you were watching snow fall to the ground for the very first time and you sit there letting it fall onto your main and possibly wings as you enjoy it and the cold it brings for you to play in.

The bass is calming and provides a great background beat to listen to I think as you go through the song enjoying the winter feel of it all too. The drums sound good and I like the drum roll at the beginning too helping the song pick up the rest and start up as well.

Overall, great theme song for Twilight I think. Tune is very calm and peaceful, I like it, I like it a lot!

coleknows responds:

The drum roll was one of the new things i was trying. It is such a pain to make though.

The other hard things was making the second melody at around 0:55
And the last was trying new synths but yeah, glad ya liked it. I hope i can finish the whole series too.

It does have a sort of winter feel i noticed actually. Maybe this should be colgates theme :P

Urban

Has a good video game feel to it as if you were roaming a city somewhere trying to beat the level. The synth and drums are great here. This is actually a pretty good loop as well I think. I think a better title is "Urban exploration" in the video game genre as well. Very nicely done piece, I like it.

coleknows responds:

Mmm, good title. If i ever make this a full song, i will make sure to name it that.

[Some stuff 5 /:]

Swell

Sounds kind of like the start to a party song. Also slightly reminds me of the walkway fashion show song that Fluttershy came out too as well. Very small yet very nice little trance tune anyways. However yea, it sounds like an excellent start to a party song though. Could try expanding and working on this one I think. Very good beat.

coleknows responds:

I noticed it sounds close to walkway music too. Makes me think of rarity for some strange reason.

[Some stuff 4 /:]

Space bot

Kind of see this as being a theme in some My Little Pony game where you explore a factory trying to find something to escape and solve the problems in the area at the same time too. The space feel and xylophone give a strange feeling of strong ambiance as well. Nice little piece anyways.

coleknows responds:

That review makes me think of one thing....

SPAAAAAACCEEE!! Anyways, thanks for the review :P

[Some stuff 2 /:]

Quirky

Kind of sounds like a real quirky start up to a boss battle I think which is nice anyways. Looking forward to new pieces in the future anyways. Not bad for a little short loop though.

coleknows responds:

Boss battle? Eh, im not really sure what this would be good for actually XD

[Some stuff /:]

Smooth

Well it sounds like some kind of winter level like tune I think. The synth has an arctic chill to it that makes you have to move to keep warm as you go forth looking for the entrance to the base of Eggman too. The drums and bass keep the tune up and make this a nice winter feeling piece. Not too bad at all.

coleknows responds:

eggman, lul.

I personally like this one the most. It has a nice chill feeling to it.

Well composed

Well this was certainly a very enjoyable house piece I think. The tune seems to get you relaxed yet pumped up at the same time. Would be nice to play at a winter party anyone to get people moving in a closed room so everyone is feeling warm rather than chilly. Sounds a bit cheesy at time but remains very good sounding as well. Very well done piece of music I think.

The synth has a lighthearted feel to it that makes you feel good on the inside as the beat manages to progress along and make you feel joy and happiness in the piece. The bass line makes you feel warmth as the tune wraps around you like a blanket making you feel soft and yet so tightly happy at the same time.

The drums are good here and give a great beat to dance along to or simply jump in place as everyone in the room enjoys the beat of the song. Also kind of makes you think of the room being walls made of mirrors only with strobe lights going.

Overall, very cheery house piece.

Thanks for the review! Interesting analogy, but I like it!

Strange

Well this is a strange feeling tune anyways to put under grunge seeing as it is a cover piece anyways. Is that your voice though? Kind of sounds like some singer with the radio filter applied at first then it sounds heavily demonized for the rest of this piece I see which is kind of odd for me anyways I think. The tune seems to go forth and make you feel kind of strange as well.

The space feeling synth was strange I think and then the normal synth makes you feel alright though so that is worth hearing I think. The bass is pretty nicely done and it sounds quite well here too I think. The drums are mediocre but good sounding as well.

Overall, pretty good but the altering of the voice later in kind of ruins it a bit for me sadly.

SoulSecure responds:

A... "Cover piece"? Where in blazes did you get that idea?? This is 100% Rahmemho-muthafuckin'-tep, boiiiii! That being said, of course it's my voice. Different from the vocals I did in my other songs you heard, eh?

In the chorus I was, actually, doing a sort of Rob Zombie kind of thing, but I couldn't be bothered to figure out all the effects he puts on his vocals in the song of his I was thinking of, so I ended up doing my own thing. The chorus was originally screamed, so you might've liked that better.

Not entirely sure what you're talking about here, so thanks? Haha!
The drums sound mediocre, because they're, basically, MIDI drums. Unless you're talking about the style of drumming, because in that case I'd be confused.

Thanks for the review!

Interesting

Kind of makes me think of Sailor Moon or two people getting ready to engage in some kind of strange battle or even a chase being done as one person tries to hide from someone is far too obsessed with them as well. Very nice yet calming though so I do like it quite a bit anyways. The tune just seems to start rushed but soon makes you feel relaxed.

The radio sound effect makes me think of the game Earthbound actually which is kind of weird anyways. The drums have a dynamic rolling effect to them as they continue on and make you feel slightly strange as they do this too. The bass is very nice though.

I like when it picks back up to a main beat though, the drums, synth, and bass all sound very dynamic and quite exciting as well which is quite cool I think. The tune makes you feel a sudden rush of excitement as it plays. I hear some trombone in there as well I think.

Overall, very exciting feel to this piece, quite exciting indeed!!

WizMystery responds:

I think by radio sound effect you mean the theremin, it's a weird instrument completely controlled without touching it. It's very interesting if you like modern... er... carpentry(?).

Thanks for the review!
