[The Untraceable]

Hard boss

This sounds like a piece that would be used if you encountered a really hard boss in a game or be used in an area right before you face the boss that is powerful or whatever, very nice little beat anyways.

Guitar: Very simple riff, not too bad either, could have been a little heavier though towards the end.

Bass: Enjoy how it sounds just as if it were only about two or three notes that repeat itself.

Drums: Sounds extremely simple too me, no improving needed.

Piano: Makes it sound a bit more sinister to me, nice work there.

Overall: No need to improve this piece in my opinion, nice job here.

I really appreciate your opinion :-)

Loops

This could have been a lot better if you ask me. Also could have cut it off after twenty-five seconds since it's the same sound through out the whole entire loop or song, whichever you prefer to call it.

Piano: Just sounds simplistic and easy to me.

Space sounds: Kind of just repeats itself over and over.

Overall: Don't know how to really improve this, it could be shortened though.

Tykwa responds:

I'll agree to this track as being stale, but I was just imagining a very minimal ambient track in my head.

[Ambrosia - Jxl180]

Spacey

This is one amazing piece and I enjoy how it sounds all the way here, very nice piece of work you did here. Sounds amazing as it progresses as well.

Piano: Sounds nice, really great how it didn't end up looping itself or repeating, very nice job in that area, sounds amazing as well.

Drums: Really enjoy the simple drum riff you inserted here, it kind of got confusing at one part but aside from that it sounds very nice. Really enjoy that feeling it gives off.

Guitar: Sounds pretty cool, it has a pretty kickin' riff to it as it sounds, very nice, could have had a simple soft solo towards the very end of it, aside from that it's very good.

Overall: This is an incredibly amazing piece, liked what you did with it.

Thanks for the review. I can always count on the RRC

[Percolating Prevarication]

Classy game music

Reminds me of a game called Mechwarrior I used to play on the SNES, good memories although some levels had a dark feel to them. This tune brings back memories.

Drums: Sounds very complexing and simple at times, sounds very insane and crazy as it blends into the beats of the song, very nice job there.

Piano: Sounds pretty cool, is that where the spacey sounds come from as well since it sounds pretty cool as well.

Bass: Sounds like a bass guitar and that's pretty cool to me, very sweet and soothing within the song it is.

Overall: No need to improve this piece, very nice piece of work.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Thnx man! This fun was very fun to make too. The spacey sound you're thinking of is probably my distorted piano---it was supposed to sound like an electric guitar =P (i didn't have any good electric guitar VSTs)
Yea, I really liked the drums and beat. I think the delay on the drum kit made everything a lot better.
Well, I'm really glad you liked my song and thnx again for the review!

[Whispers of the Wind 3]

Great piece

This kind of has a Zelda feel like at the start of the game or an area with a real saddening feel to it, I enjoy that a lot.

Cello: Sounds a little saddening but it's what brought the piece together is what I think. Very soft feeling there.

String: Sounds a little like a xylophone? A very light xylophone anyway, sounds nice and soothing.

Harp: I enjoy how this part just simply loops over itself like most of the rest of the song but it's so faint and light that it just blends into the rest of the song.

Vibraphone: TO be honest I have no idea what that is...

Oboe: Sounds nice hear and near the end makes it feel more compelling and complex, nice work there.

Overall: No real improvements needed, very nice piece of classic music.

Cimba responds:

I think the thing that you are refering to as a xylophone is the vibraphone

[[MC Crispy] - Fast Pace Game]

Ehh, needs major improvements

I must say, this needs major work and you possibly need a new mic and mixing system so the voice doesn't sound so distant as well. Also I just really hear the first sound a lot from the first 3 seconds, the rest isn't all that audible.

Voice/lyrics: Kind of doesn't make all that much since and I'd suggest a new microphone before making another song since at one or two points it kind of gets way too loud and scratchy and pop sounding. Change this up.

Ahh sound: I hear that a lot and it's pretty much one of the audible pieces here that sounds pretty good to me which is nice but I don't think that's the sound you were wishing to be heard overall eh?

Drum 'n' bass: Sounds pretty good and a simple beat but not audible enough to be heard well.

Scratch sound: Nice touch although you'd have to turn this up a bit to hear it when it enters the song at different intervals.

Overall: Get a new sound and mixing system so it's easier to hear. If you decide to resubmit a better version of this it'd be nice if you left this one up so people can do a side by side comparison and see if there s till needs to be any changes.

Good luck on future pieces.

[The Bad Rasta Farmer]

Crazy sounding.

This didn't make much sense but has a nice beat to it. Here and there you could have doubled the speed.

Voices: Comes and goes, can't really understand what they say either, makes it feel a little spacey as well to me. Very nice touch there.

Piano: When it comes it gives me a feel of playing StH(2006) again for some reason, another nice touch. Really liked it right there.

Drum 'n' bass: Sounds awesome and pretty complex to me, could probably be mastered after awhile but would take practice. Very nice drum riff.

Reverse effect: Another nice touch.

Overall: Very nice but makes me feel a bit creeped out and nostagilic.

DeejayDeeZ responds:

The vocal samples don't make sense at all, but it's not meant to make sense either... Hehe.

I disagree on the speed. It sounds somewhat over boosted with extra speed. I don't think it sounds good.

The song without the vocal samples sounds lame and much less energic. Im glad you liked them. In my opinion - Piano leads/pads is the easiest part in a song to make, but im glad you liked it.

So this song creep you out, never heard that one before. Sorry bout that ;)

Anyway, thanks for reviewing. Really helpful.

[-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!
