[Dividing by Zero]

Nice first

This is a pretty nice first. One of the sounds at the start sounds a bit like rain and snow and then I never really hear it again. You actually did a pretty good for your first attempt at making a house beat here. You got all your bases covered I think.

The drum section sounds pretty great. Like how you got a beat then triplet notes right after and it keeps at it. Like the little high pitched chirping sound that I heard here. The synth seems to be providing us with a nice double beat. One of them plays a low line bass filter while the other one does high notes and chirp like sounds as well. The bass line sounds great.

Overall, this is one crazy yet awesome beat.

Awesome \m/

This is actually pretty good for something without words anyways. I wonder how the lyrics would go for this beat. I don't think it matters though, headbanging, mosh pits, and heavy riffs are all that matter here/

The guitar riff seems to be very well written here and I liked the galloping triplets you used here. I do not hear a bass line here, oh well. The drums sound really good and keep in good rhythm the whole way. Liked how the second guitar played notes on the lower strings which was great.

Overall, you did an excellent job here

Jeffaro responds:

Yeah, I'm a bad bass player. My hand starts to hurt if I try to do gallops and such. If you listen to the section at 1:33 you can hear a bass line that sounds really cool.

[Broken Heart Pumping (DEMO)]

Happy

I like how this has a very happy feel to it. The intro kind of made me think of the intro song to "King of the Hill". More than likely a coincidence though. Very good tune though.

The guitar sounds very appealing to a large variety of people I think. The vocals are very good. The lyrics are actually very lovey dovey I think which is good for a make up scene where a couple hug and make up while being sorry for each other. The secondary guitar sounds were cool when they came in.

Overall, this is a wonderful beat. Great work here.

[My World (DEMO)]

Touching

This actually kind of makes you feel a bit happier on the inside. The guitar playing here is very beautiful as well. Kind of makes me think of those indie movies where the main character is at their lowest and a song is played to make them realize that it could always be much much worse than it currently is.

The guitar riff is very wonderful here and literally almost brought a tear to my eye as well. The lyrics are wonderful here and kind of make you wish to examine yourself again to find out where you went wrong in life. The vocals are terrific and I really enjoy how you are singing the song.

Overall, this is a beautiful piece.

[The Last Song You'll Ever Sing]

Speedy

Wow this sounds pretty great with you playing the guitar that fast. The vocals are also very good as well here. I like the pauses as it gives the illusion that the song is over and then you come right back into it very quickly.

The guitar sounds very good here. Nice tuning on it as well. The lyrics and vocals are very soft yet harsh at the same time which is good because a vocalist needs to be confident in speaking aloud. The little breakdown sounded very nice here so that kind of made it even cooler with how fast you did that part.

Overall, impressive.

[PMTTYD: Macho Grubba]

Pain but good

Heh, I remember fighting him for the first time. HE was such a pain because I wasn't good at guarding. Now whenever I play which hasn't been in a while i always get the superguard on every attack. I rarely suffer damage now when I play which I think is splendid to know.

The bass line was freaking piece of art here and I liked that a lot. The synths are great and later in make me think of Giygas who has always been a creepy boss to me. The drums sound awesome. Sounds like something I would have played as well. The whole beat is great.

Overall, excellent cover.

[Arpeg8]

Sounds nice

I can honestly see this being used in some real girly video game of some kind where you collect items to do stuff with around the area of the level. The tune sounds very upbeat and pretty sweet like a lollipop.

The harp sound that loops the whole time is very nice. The bass line contains a lot of good timing here and stays consistent the whole way. The drum effect sound was great to hear. The the high notes and synth sounds were very nice as well. The whole tune of a loop sounded excellent.

Overall, a great piece. I would rename it as "Girly Game Loop" as this is what it sounds like. Good work.

Evil circus

This has a real evil circus feeling to it actually which somewhat creeps me out to an extent until I realize there are no evil circus beings or zombie elephants nearby to kill me in the first place. Very creepy feel.

The bass kind of makes me thing of someone speeding up and slowing down in a car constantly to annoy people on the road. The synth provides you into a glimpse of the mind of a clown and elephant trying to kill people for no reason. Nice to see the good use of hi hats and claps here as well.

Overall, this seems to have turned out alright.

Draxeddon responds:

Most epic review yet.

10/10 for your review.

[Rig - Constellation]

Sounds spaced out

Well I am glad I saw this exactly when it hit the audio portal. This sounds like a very nice piece the whole way. It has a really good space feel to it. Kind of reminds me of the soundtrack to Portal where most of the music was ambient and tended to make you just feel weird through and through no matter what as GLaDoS tried to kill the player the whole time.

The drums have a very nice touch and feel to them really. The many synths I hear just make me feel great and they also produce most of the sound for the song which make it sound and feel spacey. Really like how deep the bass was here as it provides a deep cut into the song making it feel very soothing but like you are also having to escape a space station as well.

The full song when it comes together sounds excellent. I look forward to seeing it in upcoming game you are making this one for.

Overall, excellent job here.

Rig responds:

Thanks! I had a lot of fun playing with layers in this song :D
