[Revolver's Waltz]

Well this was an interesting mix of techno and metal being put together to make one solid song. If it had lyrics this could be a lot more interesting too.

The synth guitar was pretty sweet here and mixed with the guitar gave a nice crunchy tone to the song. The keyboard was nice and somehow reminded me a bit of Guitar Hero too. The bass was solid and helped the song move along and gave that backing beat that the song needs to be able to finish up and keep on going.

The drums here sound excellent and have a smooth rhythm to them giving a feel of being played live.

Overall, nice mix of techno and metal.

[SGKR - Track 1]

This one felt rather impressive and I liked the flow of the beat. Sounded like something from a fast paced side scrolling game which was pretty nice as you continue on through a forest shooting lasers at baddies and the such keeping you from finishing a level.

The bass was smooth here and I could hear it keeping a triplet beat pattern for the whole song which was pretty nice. The main synth had a nice and soft pace to it giving the feeling that there will be tough moments but you will be able to complete the level and beat the boss at the end. The drum beat remained simple and at times made the song feel fast paced.

Overall, nice level/race song. Very enjoyable.

Thanks! :b

When I've completed the new version of this song, I'll post it up for comparison. It will most likely be a bit longer, with a few changes to the drums(add crash and tom drums). But over all It will keep the melody and structure. the main chorus will for sure be staying the same, maybe have a couple tweaks here and there to ad some variant to it. but it'll stay pretty much the same.

Thanks for the review! You guys are awesome! :D

[Contact High]

I like how this seems to be really neat as a song, sounds a bit repetitive but still nice nonetheless.

The synth has a slight echo delay effect that I can hear which is really swell. Then the drums have some nice sounds going and give a feel of going off to a party or simply walking and being able to enjoy the day which is just great. The bass is light in the back and pushes the main synths forward to make the beat so much more powerful.

The up and down wavy effect I hear in this song gives a nice calming atmosphere too.

Overall, this song is just really nice to listen to.

Haha, I enjoy all of your imaginative analogies for songs. Sorry about repetitiveness, will watch out for that next time. Thanks for the review!

[No Sky]

Very ambient feeling and retro track. Feels like something I would hear while playing Donkey Kong Country for some reason actually or maybe Metroid Prime too. The song has a really nice feel yet makes you think there is no cloud in the sky as you smile at the sun bringing warmth.

The chiptune sound I hear is nice and I like how it rings for am oment when each note finishes. The latter when you added a copy of the main chip channel and made it reverse notes was rather neat since it gave a feel of going in reverse at the same time strangely. The bass was soft and comforting on the ears too. The classical sounds are also nice.

Liking how the drums have a sort of tribal running feel to them like your quest to reach the skies never ends as you keep going higher and higher meeting new people and gaining new abilities.

Overall, very beautiful song and I liked it a lot!

[Topspin]

This actually sounds pretty nice, deadmau5-ish? Sounds pretty good to me anyways. Liking how it remains party styled and gives the feeling of just raving the night away while mixing in a bit of classical dancing to it at the same time so it works out really nice too I think.

The synth sounds pretty awesome and liked how it gave that blasting feel as if encouraging people to get up and dance and just have fun. The glitch sounds later are pretty sick, let me guess, gross beat? That's probably my favorite plug in I've found in FL Studio so far too, gives some greatly awesome sounds to whatever pattern you have it set for which is just awesome.

The synth has a classical yet dancing feel to it making it remain very happy. The drums sound like a really simple pattern of just a hi hat and a couple of kicks layered together which is pretty sick here. The bass line remains calm at the same time so wonderful work there.

Overall, really nice work here.

[It's Snowing]

Has a calm and playful feel as if reliving the joy of seeing snow the first time and being able to go out and play in it all day even though you feel numb by the end of the day realizing it was still fun to be out in it and just playing. Great times. Very calm and nostalgic piece of music.

The crystal sounding piano has a nice little rhythm that holds up for the whole song that works out most wonderfully. The bass sounds like a pad sound that is meant to be light in volume and provide an atmospheric bass to the song which is really nice to hear. The secondary synth that comes on provides a playful feel. Then the third one has a real up feeling tune to it as well.

Overall, playful and nice song.

Thanks SCTE3, I love the feeling you gave to it, I was aiming for something along those lines :D

Glad you liked it!

[Stargenx - Winds of Mercy]

Really enjoyable and yet ever so calm rhythm and beat. Kind of makes me think of happy endings to older animes I used to enjoy watching a lot when I was younger which is pretty great. The song gives a feel like things have changed and turned for the better. Very good song.

The guitar sounds really nice and high in the note range to make the person hearing it feel happy. The piano in an ever rising feel gives that feeling like good things will happen and I like how the lower notes are longer and linger too. The drums here sound most excellent and I like how they sound a lot. The synth being the final piece gives that ever cheerful feel as well, great song.

Overall, this song is wonderful!

Thanks for the review! It was very fun to make. :)

[Firststep]

Not really too bad for an attempt but what program(s) did you use to make this? I recognize the drums from FL Studio at least and the rest are from there too it seems but not quite sure what they are though. However for dubstep, if you did it in FL Studio then impressive or did you use Ableton for it instead?

The synth here had a pretty cool yet dandy flanger effect and for a few moments it feels like the bass melted into it as if the bass was turned up on the synth to blend in as a backing sound for the synth, pretty nice idea if you can't make your own unique bass line for the beat actually.

The drums have a nice solid sound to them and fusing the clap and snare together as one beat went over pretty well here actually. The wub sounds were kind of dull sadly. If you had tried having them going up in a quicker pattern it could have come as a nice fast tune to the beat and pumping it up.

Overall, not too bad for your first dubstep attempt.

Thanks for the comment! I used FL for everything :)

[Daedalus' labyrinth - HAB]

This song was rather neat and gives me that feeling like I am going through a maze and yet having no idea of how to get to the exit and find weapons here and there to help me survive against the animals unleashed into the maze. Tune in itself kind of feels like a maze at the same time.

The drums have that rather dynamic feel and sound very dramatic as if trying to give the feeling of something always, always happening in that strange maze. The chorus was nice and I like how light it managed to stay light when it played while the song played on and kept going.

The harp sounded beautiful here and was very well composed in that melody. The wind instruments went nicely and I like how they give that over the top drama effect to the song like something could happen at any moment as the person turned each corner in the maze.

Alternatively, this could make an excellent boss battle song too, nice.

Overall, very dynamic and great maze/boss song!
