[(MiB!) Elegant Bass]

Strange dancing

Well I see that this piece kind of makes you think of someone possibly baking in the sun as they look for the entrance to the cave rumored to be nearby anyways. They search and search and have to use the keyblade to locate the entrance hidden by a mound of sand.

The bass is very light and subtle here. The synth has a cool crystal feel to it as if the desert were cooking the person alive and very slowly at the same time too for some reason. The light dubstep sounds were pretty cool too I think. The drums add a nice finishing touch to the song and help it move along.

Overall, nice desert sounding piece.

i dident see it at first but now that i think about it yeaaa thats what it makes me think of hmmm

[(MiB!) Stuck in the rain!]

Interesting dubstep

Well it starts out innocently enough before blowing out to dubstep. The synth and bass along with the claps and drums sounded pretty nice actually. The tune kind of sounds like it would make an awkward yet nicely done level song anyways. The very light dubstep sounds kind of get you moved over to wanting to hear full blast dub sounds with time.

I can kind of get the feeling of being stuck in a rain storm as the song moves along and you search for a place where you can get out of the rain and relax for a moment anyways. The bass gives a feeling of warmth too. The tune just sounds really well done.

Overall, nice light dubstep piece.

RandomDanceOfHappy responds:

i needa make the main dub step part fit better but yea i think it all sounds well balanced since i never use limiters
now to mix dub step with hardcore XD

[Pokemon DPPt Trio Cave]

Impressive

Sounds great. I think the only thing missing would be drums for some reason. Nice to see another song made using various Windows sounds I see. Really nice little mix I think. Can't wait to hear more.

The main sounds used that keeps going up in a loop sounds pretty charming and too be honest I have yet to go after the cave guardians in the games too. The bass line is cool sounding here since it remains solid the whole way. Lastly is a light drum sound that makes this even cooler.

Overall, nice Windows sound remix of a Pokemon song.

DeltaPhoenix responds:

Uhm, This is not Windows Sounds :D Sorry to disappoint you. But I can do a Windows version if you want :)

[RunRoze (July NAC)]

Congrats

Have to say though, for the first twenty or so seconds I thought it was nothing and then the beat slowly started to come up and shows that this a chaos track. Kind of makes me think of portal as well. However it does maintain a zombie horror feel like they are coming after your flesh to tear you apart too. Really gory feeling track, nice. Also like how it kept going until it was rapidly fast and then sudden slow down.

The dogs and growling sound effects were really nicely done here I think. The vocals kind of sound like it was done in video diary format as if this might be the last person's day alive in a zombie ridden city where there are almost no survivors.

The drums are subtle and light so that is nice to know. The bass line and synth together give a very eerie effect like impending doom was coming and you no one would know your or believe what was on the video as real. Very nicely put together piece though.

Overall, nice zombie piece and it got second place, congrats.

MrMusicalLion responds:

Yeah, I think I was a bit too subtle with the intro for this one. Not sure. It's hard to strike the right balance for Horror.. too obvious and it loses the shock, too subtle and you don't even know when the monster turned up.

I had a great time recording the SFX for this piece, the dogs/growling etc was a recording of me choking, reverb'd and distorted to the max. Interesting point about the Vocals, come to think of it they do sound like a video diary too.

Thanks for the review and the interesting insight; both very much appreciated.
[And thanks, :D the dude that got 1st place, lol, just wow. Incredible stuff truly.]

[.:Metal Mob:.]

\m/

Well this is a pretty cool piece anyways. Did not expect that orchestra sound though. This is still a pretty brutal sounding fight song though, awesome work on this too.

The guitar sounds brutal and great, nice work on that. The bass is smooth and moves the song along in a great direction. The drums also sounded good, nice work there I think. The violin was completely unexpected though.

Overall, orchestra metal?

Orchestral metal indeed :) Strings might have come in too early haha.

Thanks!

[[dj-Jo] "Tough"]

Tough cookie

Well it does seem to have a beat that makes you think someone tough is walking up to you and kind of trying to annoy you but they aren't doing so well because no one likes them anyways and thus they are ignored a lot. Secretly all they want is a friend.

The synth has a nice space feel at some points but for the most part it just sounds incredibly cool and quite nice. The bass line is subtle and provides a good groove for one to enjoy too. The drums are simple and have a quick beat going which is pretty cool.

Really like it around 1:56 where it kind of has a tough guy breakdown and they cry and finally get a friend from being honest. Really great the rest of the way though since it sounds great.

Overall, really tough and cool piece that sounds great.

Hey, thanks for reviewing :D

I honestly didn't get that image when I made this song XD, but hey, it actually works :D

[Lost Spirit]

Very promising

Well I like to see this as a promising piece since it seems to have everything for a good song. Would make for an awesome final boss battle tune as well. Kind of makes you think the background is a very dark looking tornado that you are trapped in as you battle on flying rocks trying to beat the boss trying to destroy the world too.

The synth and piano make a nice combination here. They seem to flow well and make the main beat very nice to listen to. They give off a feeling of there is still hope as the battle against the boss wages on as you try to find a weakness and keep it distracted long enough to beat it.

The bass line sounds really nice and pretty calm as well encouraging you to not lose your head and heart as you try to beat the battle. The drums are cool and very nice on the ears too, nice work there.

Overall, very uplifting.

Thanks for reviewing! I took a gander and some of your stuff, and left your three promised reviews there.

[luigi's mansion theme redeux]

Mariiioooo!!

Oh yes I did I have some good times playing that game. Would be cool if you did a cover of the beta title track in the future too. It sounded similar but had a bit darker tone to it as well. This is a really nice remake though, sounds awesome.

The stringed instrument sounds great here. The bass line is pretty smooth and helps the tune move along, possibly a trombone? The drums are very nice and help give a good back beat for the tune too. Scratch and DJ sounds were also a nice touch. I think you did well here.

Overall, awesome remix of a good title beat. Now to go find Mario in the mansion. Also nice loop.

[Uplifting Trance - Faliya]

Happy

Well I can see how it would make one certainly feel happy anyways. It just has that tone of making you feel better after being sad as you head to the arena with swords in hand preparing for the tournament. You look around the area as you wonder who you may have to face to win and survive to leave the arena. You see ninjas, gunners, and martial artists. Luckily you know how to fight in each of those areas. However the first person to lose by not getting up and staying alive is the loser, the winner continues on to round two...

The drums are cool sounding and move in a rapidly good pace that motivates you to feel nice I think. The synth has a really happy feel to it though, it makes you feel like you can keep going and that no matter what that there will always be hope for you and your friends too. The bass line is nice and helps to beat move along as well. Very wonderful too.

Overall, I found this to be a rather uplifting piece that makes you feel real happy on the inside so that turns out really good too. Really nice and uplifting piece, nice work.

Thanks for the great review. Sorry for the horribly late response D:

[Whistle Blow - Silv3Ster]

Pumped

Well this is a good racing song I think or possibly a fighting song too. It just gets you feeling pumped and ready to beat the game or possible battle you are in as well. Kind of as a Japanese feel to it as well, very nice there I see. The beat just comes off as amusingly pumped and makes me think of speedcore a bit.

The drums get you real pumped with the constant kicks and hi hat notes a lot too. Also what are the vocals from if I can ask you that? They sound pretty awesome anyways. The song just makes you feel really cool though.

The synth sounds great and has nice high notes I think. Then you got a second one playing liquid styled notes to keep you going. The bass is rather rigid and calming though so that is nice. Liked the windy sounding breakdown before the song slowed down for a moment.

Then the vocals take control for a moment before the song blasts back to full speed and stays real interesting. Really cool though.

Overall, very nice piece of work, sounds awesome.
