[GA - Stoner Tears]

This has a very simplistic sound to it and I rather enjoy hearing it that way. When the acoustic guitar plays loud enough you can hear a bass line that goes with it which is pretty cool until the full beat comes in. When it all comes together it sounds rather awesome.

The guitar sounds great and that riff is great when paired with the piano playing giving a kind of rock and dance feel to the song. The bass line is really nice as well too. As for vocals, the random yelling just seems to make this song incredibly hilarious. Very well crafted song and the drumming is excellent. Best of luck in the future with your band!!

Overall, song is awesome yet hilarious with the yelling.

[(HoS) Action Movie WIP 2]

Really seems to tell a story in itself and very well composed.

Part A kind of gives a feel of things to come as you look overhead seeing the corrupt villains have somehow taken over the city and keep on brainwashing the people. The harp and drums seem to hold a feeling of getting hope as you put on attire to make yourself unknown to everyone as you go forth. The solid bass riff gives a feel of action possibly happening at any moment. The piano also gives a feel of getting ready to do everything needing to be done. As you remember what all started and begin to go forth and restore the city. The drum kicks give a feeling of slowly walking too, nice.

From 3:30 I hear a change in tone as it transitions to part B with just the sound of a piano playing. At this point the drums change up in beat to a battle march as the villains discuss their next move while you slowly enter the building looking for where they are to stop them forever but many people seem to stand in your way as they are brainwashed as well. The crystal synth sound has a feeling of hope being given as you slowly sneak up to there.

Part C has that feel of the final battle beginning as the bass kicks in and gets things started. Things slowly arise as the alarms go off and you take out the gunmen with the flick of your wrist. The battle keeps escalating until they finally come out bound and determined to kill you but you stand strong. The bass and echo sound I hear give that feeling of a storm determining what shall be happening next and the drums get a much more dynamic feel to them as well.

Overall, very epic story tune, nothing appears to be wrong hear, or at least nothing sounds wrong to my ears. Excellent work!! Can't wait to hear the final version.

Wow thank you very much!!! I very much enjoyed reading your review! The final version will include a Part D as a conclusion. I've been having a lot of fun making this piece. It's also been taking me a very long time to make. To tell the truth, what made me want to make a full on action movie piece started back last year in November after hearing PeterSatera's "'11 Artificial Intelli Evolved," and I was so surprised by just how amazing and professional it sounds, and for it to be on NG and not some multi million film just left me in awe so much to where I couldn't bring myself to make anything for about 2 weeks until I decided "I wanna make my own epic action movie composition, and make it the very best I can no matter how long it takes!" Thanks again for such a lengthy in depth review!

[-*}MAC{*-Fractal Memories]

A collaboration track on audio? This is simply impressive then! The overall tone seems to be having completed the battle of your life and looking back at all the hardships and battles you fought to get to where you are now as you walk off to your hometown to tell of the slaying of the beast that had taken over the land.

The harp seems to play a light mystical tone to the song as one walks on. The flute sounds just perfected here. Gives that feel of being able to simply relax and play for a bit. The dark bass notes on the piano just seem to act as if they were reminding you of going into dark unknown places to try to figure things out and the harp adds on there as if you were tip toeing around the place and trying to be careful of all traps.

The violins and drums combine for a dynamic effect here as showing there were many blood filled battles in your bath too. The lighthearted tone near the end give a feel of finally getting home and just relaxing at long last no longer having to worry about monsters or demons ruling the land.

Overall, great song, would make for either excellent montage of memories or credit music either way or even adventure music. Excellent music collaboration here.

[Silv3Ster - Heavenly]

This tune sounds quite a bit like something you would hear while floating into the air and just enjoying the day. Tune has a real uplifting and happy feel to it that makes it really nice to hear. 172 BPM? Very nice beat for that speed then!

The synth has a slight delayed echo effect that I can hear as the song goes along. The bass was also rather nice on the ears and gave that simplistic feeling of joy to the whole song. The drums have a solid rhythm and the pounding bass kicks give the feel of just being pumped up. The cheers added to the song were pretty great as well.

Overall, not really hearing anything wrong here, very nice work on this song.

[Guitorchestra]

This song turned out to be an excellent combination and the acoustic guitar starting things off was a really nice touch. Slowly the piano joins in on the rhythm and they play together as if they were the best of friends and trying to create a new song for the world to enjoy from them. Very beautiful song. This is an awesome combination!!

The acoustic guitar gives that feel like someone actually cares about what happens in your life and that you aren't always alone as the other person joins in on the piano and helps to collaborate on the piece making it all the more cheery.

The orchestra paints vivid imagery The flute was nice to hear on the ears as if slowly lulling you off to sleep for a moment.

Overall, very nice song, I enjoyed it a lot!

Sorry it took me so long to get back on these review, thank you and I'm glad I was able to portray vividness :)

[ClabTrap - Alto - Gunning]

Very sick beat this song had. Who was the little kid at the start, a sibling? The song has a nice rhythm to it though and the bass ling soothes you into hearing the lyrics of the song too. Great sounding song too, looking forward to future songs from you after hearing this one, neat!!

Thew bass line remains simple and moves to a different note depending on the beat of the rhythm which goes great when enjoying the song in all its entirety. The synth was great and layered too. The main layer plays like a wave enchanting you to keep on hearing while the one in the back seems to sooth you even further while hearing this.

The drum beat was pretty nice yet simple at the same time too. The vocals sound great, what kind of microphone setup are you using? Excellent beat!

Overall, very nice beat to listen to, good work here!!

[~Delta~ Retro Vision(WIP)]

This has a solid rhythm and a soft dancing styled beat to it. When it starts out the echo drums seem a tiny bit unneeded to me but if it is meant to build up to something later in the song then that would be nice and I notice after about twenty seconds that the echo drums get lighter and lighter in sound which is pretty nice.

The synth runs smoothly onto the next note and keeps on going strong here giving a slight feeling of being out on the dance floor and just having a good time. The drum and clap combination also works wonders and seems to give motivation to clap along to the beat while moving to the rhythm on the dance floor at the same time. The lighthearted feel of the synth though is very smooth and slightly reminds me of Daft Punk too.

The bass has that funky backdrop feel as it it was giving you motivation the whole time to keep on going but you never knew it was there unless listening to it closely.

Overall, great work in progress so far. Only recommendation is to lose the echo drums at the start of the song unless they are building up to something. Aside from that, sounds excellent to me. Don't have to remove them if you don't wish to, I just feel it might sound better without them. Can't wait to see the full piece!

[LTM² - Miniature Fantasy]

The song carries a very solid rhythm and helps you relax a lot. Reminds me of some older house songs I've heard that had a good synth playing and the drums would sooth your mind and ease any tension you had built up over the day.

The synth sounds very pleasing and the delayed echo effect going across the channels gives that nice all around feel of just being relaxed. The drums are very relaxing and I like the combination of the hi hats and bass kicks constantly trading off with each other to keep the beat going.

The angelic chorus seems to be a nice touch and makes you feel like you are going on a mental adventure and just enjoying the world. Not sure if there is a bass here since the only bass I hear are the kicks.

Overall, very relaxing song, great work here.

[There Is Nothing Going On]

Simple rhythm this song has. The tune sounds like something you would write lyrics to a light love song for. The tempo and all seems to be pretty calming and very nice on the mind as one listens to the song.

The drums remind me a bit of the older days of Smosh when they did a video every once in awhile instead of every week. The hi hats are also very calming too. The piano is nice to listen to and I like how it flows in this little song. Seems to loop fairly well too.

Overall, soft melody, wonderful.

Thanks for your constructive criticism.

I tried to make it nice and chill, and it seems to have worked. Maybe my downfall is that it's too calming, and not enough unique individuality in the mix. So I'll work on that next time

Thanks for the review

[Shys lullaby (Extended)]

Very calm sounding beat. The song seems to make you feel sleepy but very happy and wanting to party at the same time. Also kind of sounds like a soft eurobeat remix too actually, neat work there. The beat doesn't sound like it could use much of a change. Kind of feels like at times it might change to breakbeat though which is also fine with me.

The synth has a wavy high in the air happy feel to it. The echo piano bits are soft and give a feel of going to sleep. Then you have that simple up and down bass rhythm which helps balance out the song as usual and give the song a good atmosphere as usual. The drums are great and I liked the flow of them in this short piece.

Overall, nice little extension of the lullaby.
