[My First Official Song Thing]

Ambient feeling

This feels like it belongs in the ambient collection, it's a nice piece of work.

Drum 'n' bass: Sounds nice and has a light rhythm with it that sticks through the whole song as it goes. Could have had it speed up near the end I guess.

Piano: Makes it feel like some crappy ninja anime show or something, could have changed this up a bit so it doesn't give off that total feel to it. It also has a second piano? It makes it sound a little lighter and very nice to me.

Bass: I'm guessing bass guitar, it sounds pretty good but could have been a little louder and more audible.

Overall: Very nice, not many changes are needed here if you ask me, keep up the good work.

[Chasing the Rain Complete]

Sexy it is

The beginning kind of sounds a bit like a long, long remix of the pac-man arcade intro epically looped for awhile, this sounds very nice anyway. Even though it has nothing to do with pac-man it makes me think of pac-man.

Drum 'n' bass: Sounds awesome and I like the little quick triple bass drum kicks, sounds awesome. The drum riff sounds very confusing if it were to be played, awesome piece of work there.

Piano: Sounds pretty good, that or it was some synth instrument, I say piano since some keyboards have a synth sound like this which is pretty cool if used right. This is some sweet piano sounds.

Cymbal: Appears from time to time and I really enjoyed this piece, nice work there.

Overall: No real need to improve, this piece sounds perfectly fine as it is and amazing. Very nice piece of work.

[-PdG- Darkness]

Sounds somewhat odd

Kind of gives me a feel I'm stuck in a building with zombies and that I need to find a way out fast and try to survive at the same time.

Drums: I enjoy the kicking sound this produces, sounds superb how it's drum, kick+drum, kick, drum, kick. Very nice detailing I think.

Piano/8-bit: Sounds pretty nostagilic and there are some things I wish to not remember which makes my head hurt a tad bit from thinking it. Sounds amazing here as well, nice work.

Air sound: Well I don't know what it is but it sounds like wind gusts breaking down slightly to me. Very nice touch here too.

Overall: Very nice, no real changes are needed, I enjoyed it.

Prodigal responds:

Haha, Zombies.

The drums were the main idea here, I had to use something called Glitch to make the Snare and Hihats sound nice and grainy. I also used glitch to get the special reverse FX on the snare as well \, and so on.

8-Bit Synth: I spent quite abit of time on the melody here as well, making sure it sounded nice and 8-Bit as well. It all works out in the end.

The "Air Sound" is a sweep, basically white noise being faded out by the High pass and Low pass filter at the same time.

Thanks for the review.

[Calavera's Demo Reel]

Silly and serious. D:

This is just pure utter nonsense for the most part, could have provided us the story description in the author comments so we understand what's going on.

It sounds like they are in a computer room near a prison and trying to convince someone to come with them. Sounds very odd.

This is just an odd piece and then some weird guy comes in and tries t ostop them at the end.

CalaveraVA responds:

There is actually no story to this (though it's interesting to see someone come up with one), as such there is no description of one in the comments. It is just a compilation of different character voices. I shall clarify that in the description then. Thank you!

[SN| Riptide Projection |SN]

Solid piece

Drums: Sounds very solid and like it's getting reworked at some points by being backed up for a moment, very nice work there that was.

Piano: Sounds very nice and I really enjoy how it sounds with the drums, very cool and soothing it is.

Chorus: Sounds like just some girls keeping a long solid note help up and slightly moving it up at some parts, very nice as well.

Makes me think of just having to find something on a base inside a moon and getting there takes ages and whatnot, finally reaching the inner layers you get you came for before making a mad dash to find an exit GO!

thanks for the review

[lost to us aeons ago - TT]

Decent sounding vibe

Drum 'n' bass: Sounds very nice and enjoy hearing the small beats that make the rest of the tune possible, very nice job there.

Piano: Sounds pretty good, it gets high and then comes back down to being extremely modern and deep in sound.

Cymbals: I don't know if it's there but I can hear one slightly at some points in the song which is pretty cool I guess.

Overall: Not much room for improvement, maybe make it a bit louder is all and it's good to go.

Calamaistr responds:

thanks for the review, but im already of opinion that its to loud heh..

now that i read this again btw.. it almost looks like your review was meant for the Atadema track. Since there isnt a piano in this one.

[[MC Crispy] - World in Flames]

Ehhh?

Before I start reviewing let me say a few things on this piece, get a recording studio or a better microphone because the sound is extremely choppy and hard to hear.

Lyrics: Very touchy at one part but it sounds pretty good and and at a point or two it sounds like you got a tad bit off key because the mic or whatever you're using makes popping sounds.

Beat: Extremely heard to hear, I can just barely hear some cymbals in the background and drum beat.

Overall: This needs heavy improvement, I'd recommend resubmitting AFTER you get a new microphone or recording system so it isn't so choppy.

I understand the terrible quality.. thank you.

[Not a Stalker]

Made me laugh a bit

Storyline: apparently a girl felt like someone was stalking them heavily, then he makes a song saying she loves him even when she is scared of him.

Guitar: Pretty much the only thing aside from the voice I hear in this. It sounds very nice anyways, decent playwork with the guitar, pretty good.

Overall: Could have added in a basic drum beat or bass line to add a little more drama to the meaning of the song, aside from that this is a nice song to hear.

CluppHead responds:

Thanks so much. Yeah, all i've got is my guitar, my voice, a crappy mic and audacity. I guess i could mess around with something like fruity loops to add some beat to it.... But yeah, i will definitely take that into consideration and start looking into a few programs that i could maybe produce a few beats from. I've played around with Fruity Loops studio before, and i'm not too savvy with it, but if it will help that much, i'll definitely give it another shot. Glad you liked the guitar, i'm self taught, so i seem to always use the same chords. This time, however, i played with adding a lead. Heh, maybe someday i'll take lessons. Thanks for the review.

[Alien Relations (Freestyle Mx)]

Very nice and spacey

Although this kind of makes me think of Resident Evil for some reason, as if you reached space only to discover that the researchers on the space station have mutated into bizarre looking creatures hunting you down.

This is a very nice piece.

The keyboard sounds rather amazing and I like how it gives that spacey feeling overall to the whole song you created here.

The drums and bass sound nice but could have been sped up by 1/16th of a note per beat, it would have been real nice there too.

The way it's just so damn spacey and the voice keeps coming in sounds very nice, I really like it, very nice job there.

Overall, very nice piece of work, I liked it.
