[God$peed - Out of your Phaze]

Neat stuff.

heh, I can taste the oldness to it GodSpeed... clearly not your best work, but still it was very entertaining to listen to.

I would like to hear this song with your current skils now, i'm sure it would rox pretty hard.

I'm not going to give feedback on this piece, as you are so much better and giving feedback on an old file really won't do you much good.

keep them coming.

GodSpeedIam responds:

These are all pretty old. IM me sometime I'd love to hear from you.

[P4R4d0X]

Good stuff.

some years ago you say!? Wow, you have quite the ear. Upload some more stuff up here, I would like to hear them.

I liked this song.

4/5 from me, keep them coming.

WIZ-zee-wig responds:

Thanks, your comment is appreciated.
I may put some more "old" songs.. but I want to ear what others thinks too.. or I may put them on my website (if I stop to be so lazy, and update it) ;)

[Tedium]

Imressive.

elevators? Heh, hardly! I loved the melody! The instrument plays around very well, and then you introduce those strange scratching noises. They were exceptional, but I think you should use them less, after all, if you overuse something, it loses its flavour, and ends up getting less interesting.

I didn't find it repetitive, however I would have liked to see more instruments in there, perhaps a background pad.

Great stuff.

5/5 from me, keep them coming.

DrMontigo responds:

The scratching noises consisted of a recording of me whacking my head on a table played in a loop at around ten times a second. Only then it was mixed into what you hear.

The entire tune is made up of just two loops; the first half is without scratching, the second half is with scratching. There's not much to it and it's not a favourite bit of work, but cheers for the compliments. :)

[Frightful wind]

Neat

First off, I think you should lower the volume of that wind, it completely hides the music, and a better wind sound effect would have been appreciated.

I was able to listen to the background beat, that was quite enjoyable, and the overal vibe of the song was also really good.

Just that wind man, that wind really ruined it for me.

4/5 from me, keep them coming ^^.

Tanooki-John responds:

I really wanted to have the wind effects to be loud and clear so both th music and the wind could be heard. At least you did like it. Thanks. I will try to find some better idea next time.

[({[ cloud 10 ]})]

Neat

The pads flowed very smoothly, but then this intensely sharp, flangerized saw popped in and ruined the mood >_>.

I think you should remove it man, it COMPLETELY ruins the flow, and it gets slightly annoying after a while.

However the beat is solid, and without that flangered saw, it would have a REALLY good flow to it, congrats, this was pretty good.

4/5 from me, keep them coming.

[I dunno what to call this one]

Imressive.

Hmm, nice.

I would like to hear the intro shortened however, it takes too long before the melody kicks in. Its pretty enjoyable once it does though, nice.

If your using FL6, you might want to consider a delay effect (2-3 note) for that kick when its going off by itself, to give it a more airy, techno-ey feel.

I also think this song should go under techno no misc.

The ending was WAY too abrupt, in fact I don't think there was one.

The volume levels and track placement were well done in my opinion, the beat is solid.

You've done very well.

4/5 from me, keep them coming ^^.

danglada responds:

Thank you. I've been trying to put a little more time into the songs that I submit here, and seems to be paying off a bit.

[Fulfillment (update v1]

Impressed.

I really liked the overal vibe of this song. Though I can hear some hardcore crashes to indicate a change in the melody. For example when the volume starts increasing and jumps into another beat, I think a crash cymbol would do the song great justice!

The volume levels were well done, the melody was constantly morphing into something new and interesting to listen to, the choice of instrumentation was also well done.

I really liked listening to this, great stuff.
5/5

[Enter the game]

Neat

It gets pretty good with time!

There was a bit of distortion that kinda messed around with the sound, I would use a compression effect to keep the waveform stable, while still giving you considerable quality.
4/5 from me, keep them coming.

vonDark responds:

thanks, I'm going too try out that compression thing, I've got some problems with distorted sounds when using two of the same type of softsynths at the same time.

More stuff is coming.

[2 much base 4 u !!]

Neat

Let me start my review by pointing out the good.

It is a catchy beat, i'll give it that, simple enough to remember easily, and yet complex enough to enjoy.

The pure bass sounds give it a pretty neat feel.

And now for some of the things I think can be improved.

There was a bit too much bass, the distortion was quite large in quantity, and though I understand there isn't exactly anything to compete against it, it will be difficult to add onto it later.

I didn't mind the snare, it wasn't great, but it wasn't annoying or anything either.

My biggest concern is the amount of distortion being created.

Overall, it was pretty good.

4/5

MarioMusicMaker3 responds:

Thankyou for your review and i spent alot of time cleaning this song up. i barly here distortion.

[Victory song]

Neat.

It is a good song, however the recording was pretty bad. There are noise cancellation softwares out there that would help reduce if not remove the static from recording.

You're quite skilled with that guitar, keep at it.

4/5

zerofalse responds:

yeah, im thinking of buying a new mic. thanx for the reveiw
