[The True Final Boss]

Speedy

I would love to see this used as a boss track. Sounds like a boss track for a Sonic or Touhou game as well. Considering how fast paced both game series are.

The synth sounds very cool and quick. The drums are very good here as well. I liked the bass line as well. However I like how furiously fast this tune is going. The guitar sounds really awesome, would have been cool if you had added a breakdown on the guitar for effect, it would be right when you think you won but the boss goes to phase two.

Overall, this is pretty beastly, nice work!!

Thank you!!~ ;D

It's one of my oldest tracks (haha!)

I'm uploading stuff in my old style again (+Old stuff ofcourse)

[Light the Darkness]

Peaceful

This actually sounds very calming actually. Kind of makes you want to smile and feel happy to simply be yourself and go through another day of being glad that you are living at all. Really makes you feel good.

Kind of makes me think of the song Space Transmission by Miku Hatsune as well. The synth sounds nice and spacey here. Also kind of feels optimistic too. The bass line is simple and kind of makes me think of thunderstorms and rain outside and then you look and smile to see the rain out there.

The drums are very nicely done here as well. The outro was nice and calm like a rainbow after the storm had ended.

Overall, you did a great job on this tune. Good work.

SuperGoodSound responds:

well thank you much for your kind words

[DJ Bossler - Pump It Up]

Sweet wicked rave

This is one sick rave beat dude. I really like how this beat is going down like a whole club of ravers with glow sticks just spinning and partying the night away with no drugs involved at all.

The synth sounds awesome and very upbeat which makes this great. Really like how the drum starts normal then begins to sound like triplet notes playing you into the void of raving. The bass line was simplistic and not heard very much. The full beat comes full circle and makes you feel like dancing the night and day away.

Overall, you did a sweet job on this rave beat.

Thanks man! I'm glad you enjoyed it =D

[Ephyks - Syndicate]

Pretty good

However I kind of felt the intro was a bit loud and took away from the rest of the beat and then it kind of lowers a bit as louder sounds come in and take over the song making it a bit relaxing yet louder at the same time.

The chorus line intro was not a bad idea and sounded pretty good anyways. The bass line is actually good since it is short yet long strings of notes put together that sound really nice together in the song and put a good state of happy in your hand. The claps fused with the drums sounds very nice, like how that turned out here.

Overall, a good song but kind of loud for me, not that it is a bad thing or anything, just thought I would say. Excellent work though.

DLBeezy responds:

Thank you for your review. I really appreciate the feedback. I noticied I have had some EQ problems. I make my music through massive speakers, which makes it hard to totally level out all the sounds, I just kinda make what sounds good through this end. I do notice that the into chords are way to overpowering. I usually push them up because the bass sometimes drowns out the synths, though, I may have boosted it a bit to far. Noticing how the synth is a sharp, high pitched sound. Thanks again for the review, I will always work on making my music better.

[Love, Blood, Lust & Hate]

Original yet strange

This sounds really good and original yet strange at the same time as well to me. Kind of makes me think of a couple of dance songs mixed with the Robotnik boss battles from Sonic the Hedgehog series. The added vocal effects were pretty nice as well here.

The synths sound very amazing. Where did those gracious and beautiful vocals come from anyways? They sound very pleasing. The bass is pretty good here as well. For some reason the one synth kind of makes me think of a banjo with the way it sounds. The other synth goes up and down like a roller coaster which was cool. The drums are simple yet unobtrusive to the beat you created.

Overall, you did a great job on this piece and I liked it.

Thanks a million!

[Martyr Us]

Wicked ender

This is a sick dance beat. Kind of makes me think of candy at the same time though for some reason. Maybe the people at the dance are giving free candy? Either way it still sounds like a really nice dance beat. Not an uptight dance beat but mostly one to let you relax during the dance while things go through your head.

The synth sounds very relaxing and smooth. Really liked the chorus you added here as it makes you feel really relaxed as if people were saying good things about you at the party and giving you hugs and such. The extra effects heard give a kind of ambient feel to the dance. The bass line sounds good and comes in nicely at a good pace with the drums.

When it all comes together it sounds beautiful to my ears actually. Really liked how this turned out.

Overall, great job on this, you did an excellent job.

AdamWhelanMusic responds:

Free candy for everyone always! haha

Thank you so much! I'm exuberant that I'm getting so much positive feedback! Hope you will enjoy my future songs as well. Take care :)

Sweet and strange

Wow was this freaking awesome and fast paced. Made me think heavily of Tekken 5 where I was fighting Devil Jin who happened to be a badass who could knock anyone out in just a few hits amazingly which also made him quite annoying at the same time.

The synths are just too freaking awesome for me at this point as they provide a highly upbeat tone through the whole song and make it all the more enjoyable to listen to as well. I like how simple the bass is as it sounds like rapid triplets to me. Also about halfway through I started to notice the added voices which was a very nice touch as well.

When it all comes together this song would make an epic fight song to listen to during a fast paced boss battle with a bad ass.

Overall, an excellent piece, looking forward to more.

Halotopic responds:

Now this is a review!
Would fit well as a fight song you say? Actually yes, i think you are most definitely right about that =)

"The synths" I tend to work really hard on my synths and all the different sounds i use. Most of the time i try to achieve sounds not yet heard. Thank you for noticing that =)

While the synths do their thing, being oddly shaped and up-beat (woot) i try to keep the bass as simple as possible. (at most times) It all depends on how much of an advanced and dynamic melody i´m using. You seem to know a thing or two about this so i´d like to thank you for your insight.

Thank you for your review!

[Houseparty(a Guide To Winning)]

Excellent

Wow, I knew you did great flash but I had no idea that you could actually music that sounds just as good either! You have amazed and confounded me to no end with this piece. The whole time it just sounds great and I actually like it a lot.

The drums sound pretty cool yet spastic at the same time. The bass line is chilling and provides the life of the song as well I think. The synth when it comes in sounds pretty good as well to me so that turned out pretty good. The lyrics and vocals are superb though. You have a great sounding voice.

When it comes together you seem to be winning at making a house party go on. The rain and added people on the vocals sound pretty good. Kind of get an image of a bunch of people partying while you are singing at the same time too.

Overall, you did a mind blowing job on this. Liked it!!

:D TANKSBRO

[Game Over, You lose.]

I win

Wow is this a small loop for a game over. I think if you want to emphasize that they lost then it should sound a lot more dramatic in the three second time span that you have this written for. This sounds more like a corny loop for a maze of some kind in a game though.

The drums spit fast and sound cool. The synth sounds very cheesy here as well. Not too awful bad though. The bass line is also good. Considering this is only your first audio piece it does not sound too awful bad.

Overall, not bad, I would just suggest making it more dramatic for a game over song.

thinking-man responds:

It's actually more of a "silly" song than a "dramatic" one. And it's more of a "song" than a loop, because it doesn't loop and it is only supposed to be played once.
