[Terracrypha]

Bongo? AWESOME!

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Bongo? AWESOME!
Review: Seriously, the usage of bongo drums themselves give you an extra point!

Which makes this a solid 9/10. Trance is supposed to be repetitive, and it's supposed to make people move, but I'd still wish for some more variation at least in the drums. The rhythm got really repetitive after a while, and same really goes for the melody.

Melody was really great, though. I'm pretty much sure it'll be stuck in my head for quite some time. Especially considering it's been on repeat the last fifteen minutes.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

haha, its like the bongos were the attractive feature in this track along with the melody. I liked the bongos too. Actually, it was supposed to be some shakers but after exporting the track, the shakers would fuck up the production for some odd reason =/. So, i switched over to bongos and now everyone is lovin it. That's why I say for every disappointment, there's a blessing.
Thanx for the review yo!

[The Metal Rangers Theme]

Not what I expected - at all

===============
Score: 5 / 10
Summary: Not what I expected - at all
Review: Great instruments, but a horrible voice.

Honestly, the guitar is great, and the drums sound fine, even though everything is off-beat at times, but the vocals are absolutely horrible. I'm not sure if that's what you were going for, but it's VERY unflattering. Comedic relief, sure.

You should work on your voice. I see that you tried to "make it lower". I suggest you just go with what is easier to you, as it'll probably sound better then. And, better recording tools.

A great song, needs some work on mixing and some work on vocals, and we'll see great results.

Thanks for the cool review! I'll redo these vocals sometime.

[The End {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

Neat!

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Neat
Review: The rythm sounds kinda overpowered, but overall a great song

I love variety in songs, and that's absolutely something you're good at. Great intro, might be a little abrupt ending, but it's not too shabby.

The rythm is weird, but not necessary in a bad way. Some quickly-finished mixing at minor parts, but the overall awesomeness of your song makes up for it. Love it!

alix1 responds:

[Forest_Density [Box-Killa]]

Amazing

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Amazing
Review: Amazing. This must be one of the best ambient songs I've heard.

I don't really listen to ambient, even though I really like it. I'm not sure why. Either way, this was a great track. Great use of instruments, which makes the song sound really relaxing and peaceful, yet there seems to be something wrong, something bad going on.

Only complaint I have is the sudden ending, which you should try to fix. Other than that, this gave me all I could ask for in an ambient track!

Box-Killa responds:

Hehe, now that's 18 reviews. Wow that is more then some top 5 submissions. Well anyway, thanks for the "Amazing" :D Yeah Many people have said it sort of has a sinister feel through the peacefullness. Oh boy, that ending. Some people like the snare, some people like the ending piano, others dont like them. Also the very ending, outro (i think what you were talking about). Yes that ends suddenly, I tried to keep that of ambient pad at the end, going for a while to keep the song from just suddenly ending. Perhaps I didnt leave it going on long enough, or it wasn't as effective as I thought. Anywho, i am shit scared to touch this song because of its success so far. But, if I get time, I will look at how i could improve the ending. Peaceout, thanks for the review :D

[Musings in Bm -WIP-]

Sad, beautiful.

===============
Score: 9 / 10
Summary: Sad, beautiful
Review: This is a great piece, beautiful and sad at once.

I can hear that it's not complete yet, and I'm really looking forward to the 100 % finished version. I'm not sure what's missing, but there's something.

I love how you made use of only a few different instruments, and made something this great. It sounds absolutely fantastic! If only all musicians had the quality that this piece shows.

Great melodies, great structure, great use of only a few instruments, I love it. Favorited.

loansindi responds:

Thanks for the review.

Orchestration is something i really wanted to explore in this piece, as i had previously only played ideas on the piano.

I really hope to get this finished one day.

[Sugar, Milk and Paisley G]

Simple, and great

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Simple, and great
Review: The intro might be a little repetitive and long, but other than that, this is a great song.

Except for the solo towards the end, the song is really repetitive, so you might want to do something about that. Also, add something behind the guitar solo. Bassline or drums.

A lot of simple song sounds horrible, but this sounds pretty good. What would make this song great, is the addition of vocals. Simple vocals with simple lyrics would make it less repetitive.

Sawdust responds:

Thanks, simplicity is ever present in my songs; I can't help it.

I'll probably make it less repetitive when my wifi router gets fixed, I can't fix my songs from the computer I'm on ATM.

[Change is in the Air]

Makes me happy

===============
Score: 8 / 10
Summary: Makes me happy
Review: Well, this must be the happiest tune I've heard all day!

I really liked the simplicity of it. But that is also part of what pulls the score down. Drums for example are way too simple to be so prominent. They are overpowering the melody, and there are few different drums in it, few samples, so you should probably make sure that the two are better balanced.

I wouldn't like the instruments you've been using in a normal case, but they fit perfectly here. The melody is great, but possibly a little repetitive as the song goes on. Great loop, if you cut one or two seconds off the end ;)

Work a little on the rhythm, beats, and try to add some diversity.

I swear I heard some melodies from The Kooks in there. I've been listening too much to them lately.
Oh, and take this 5/5. Damn 0-bombers.

Sawdust responds:

Thanks! I really wanted some emotion going on, and all.

Also lol, I don't listen to the Kooks

[Game Over Guitar Theme]

Sad, well made.

===============
Score: 10 / 10
Summary: Sad, well made.
Review: I have absolutely no complaints on this track. It reminds me of some Golden Sun cutscenes, the sad ones, it would fit right into one of those scenes!

I love the instruments you've used, and the melody is just diverse enough to not be repetitive. It's smooth and sothing, sad and filled with hope. You should try to add some oother isntruments, like a piano or something of the like. I hear the background, but something t accompany the main theme.

sarias responds:

well thanks I was thinking about arranging it to make more of a main theme like make this a variation of a main theme for a game you know what i mean im thinking about making it bigger for that but keep this the way it is for game over thanks for the review

[-rT- WiP : Digital Extacy]

Looking forward to the finished product

===============
Score: 7 / 10
Summary: Looking forward to the finished product
Review: This sounds absolutely great, even though it's clearly a WiP.

I love the slow, soothing intro. Builds up to the song. I think the drums are a little overpowering towards the piano, you should try to even those two out. Add some baseline, and more drum samples. Vary it a little, mix it up.

Looking forward to see a finished product! If it sounds awesome now, I can't wait to hear it once it's done!

ReaperTechno responds:

Drums have been reduced slightly and piano and bass have been increased, thanks for the tip
