[When Insanity Calls]

Really liked the sudden pop sound near the start that kicked off the song into a full beat.

The main synth has a feeling of going up and down then suddenly changes to working in a sort of trance related way. Then the second synth comes in to imitate what the first synth did except much faster than before. Then a third synth comes in and provides a very fun backing rhythm to the song.

The drums sound nice and somewhat makes me think of loops in a way. The song as a whole is very fun to listen to.

Overall, very fun song, nothing that needs to be changed at all.

[Christmas In Brazil]

Good recording

However I do have a couple of issues, one being the guitar sounds a bit too quiet as you play. The remedies for this could be either play louder or record closer to the microphone.

The other issue I notice with this is the bass seems to sound a bit louder than it should. At most it should be lower in volume to where it back up the guitar for the song.

Overall, just some minor recording issues is all.

Lageira responds:

You're right! I think I did rushed on the recording I should had spent some more time working on it now that I listen to it.

Thanks for listening to it man :)

[Byzantium {Collab}]

This track sounds spectacular. Really like how it starts sounding dark and then the full song comes together and it is lighthearted and merry sounding.

The bass was truly fun to listen to as the song marched on. The drums accompanying the bass was great and I like the speedy feel to it as if listening to an actual live orchestra.

The triangle is a nice little detail given to this piece to make the transition smoother. The violins I hear are truly beautiful too. The chorus was great and makes me think of a band of people walking towards a castle in triumph.

Overall, beautiful collaboration.

Thanks for the great review, SCTE3. I am thrilled you think it came out so well. :D

[Fruit Smoothie]

The song has a really nice feel good feeling to it. The tune seems like it would fit well for closing a party when people are beginning to leave and you need a peace to help calm people down a bit as they walk out the door.

The synth sounds very clean and I notice nothing going wrong with the rhythm. Then secondary synth seems to sound like it was bouncing from left to right trying to make one feel like they are in some sort of atmosphere.

The drums are good and the basic pattern gives a good backing rhythm for the track. Probably could have used a different hi hat though.

Overall, sounds very nice.

Thanks

[Two Is OK.]

The guitar track sounded slightly familiar as if I had heard being used in a different song. Although it may have been a piano instead.

The vocals are clear, the one bad part is when the vocalist backs away from the microphone since it becomes harder to hear them for a moment.

The guitar is crisp. The bass line provides a nice groove for the song. Lastly, the drums are easy going and nice to listen to.

Overall, good work.

gamejunkie responds:

Thanks SCTE3 your reviews are always very much appreciated.

Cheers gamejunkie.

[A Dream of Wilder Places]

Really mystically calming piece.

The guitar sounds clean as if it was recorded live. This was also probably my favorite part of the song to listen to. Aside from Secret of Mana, also reminds me of Dark Cloud a bit.

The harp sounds mellow. Also seems to remind me of a game taking place in middle ages yet with a steampunk feel to it. The harmonica was very pleasant to listen to and reminded me of some movies.

The rising vocals really make me think of Secret of Mana and Chrono Trigger. They have a hopeful feel to them. Then the rising cresendo for a few piano notes was pleasant. The secondary soft guitar heard was good.

Lastly, the drums were enjoyable to listen to.

Overall, very pleasant and wonderful song to listen to.

[[{~Eagles~}]]

Really liked the "Houston" voice at the start. Then the rest of the song makes one think of heading out into space and being successful.

The drums are soft and the rim hits seem to sound right. Going from one ear to the other is a nice effect. Then the heavy kicking sounds very crisp.

The synth draws out and sounds wonderful. Then there is a secondary synth backing the main synth to make the song much better.

Overall, great hip hop track, no idea what kind of lyrics would go with it though.

DJM00se responds:

yeah no idea how someone would rap to this. but it's a good standalone beat i think. thanks for the review man!

[Ditchy - Exhale]

The tune sounds a bit generic at the start for me. Then it slows moves away and goes towards its own rhythm and flow.

The squeaky sound I hear near the start before the transition was really nice to listen to. The synth makes me think of relaxing on an afternoon with nothing to worry about except when it becomes night time.

The drums are good. Really enjoy the pounding bass kicks. Then start up sound was great then a synth being played alone before the drums and second synth come back into the song. The low sounding synth that sounds like a toy is a nice background sound.

Overall, great song.
