[.:The_Awakening:.]

lol

I like the guy's review below me, "master chief shooting" lol. Like the song has any reference or anything to do with Halo, lol. Not going to lie though, it would be rather appropriate.

The beginning is subtle yet powerful, and does a great job building up to the main melody. The percussion sounds well mixed with the brass. The percussion itself actually is very good.

The ending is melodic and beautiful, albeit a bit premature in my opinion, well done. The only thing that I noticed it that it's a bit short. Other than wishing it was longer, it's a great piece. Keep up the great work.

GronmonSE responds:

Yeah, I've noticed that the main criticism is how short the song is. I should probably expand is someday.

Thanks for the kind words and the review!

[~Alfa~ Beyond]

Awesome

So I just turned this on in the background and started playing Minecraft...it's amazing how well it fit. I was burrowing underground farther and farther and it's like the guy was walking and mining to the beat. Pretty funny actually...

The melody is very soothing and somewhat energetic as well. It's like a peaceful trance song, and the percussion sounds professionally mixed. The bass line, main synth, and percussion are mixed together very well and no one instrument comes off as being obnoxiously overpowered at all.

A great track overall, keep up the great work.

[Minor Light - Dematerialized]

Great

A great dnb track! Almost more of a chill dnb track but I love it. I'm glad it's 5 minutes long too. Definitely a great listen. I've had it playing while messing around in Minecraft, and I must admit I like it quite a bit. Downloaded. 5/5 9/10. Keep up the great work.

Well the singing isn't bad really. She seems to hit all the notes pretty well and her voice is pretty good if you ask me. The only thing this is missing is some nice background music as it's rather bland the way it sits. I mean if you really wanted it to sound perfect you could edit this and get rid of the noises when you breathe. (*i move away from the mic to breathe in)

Other than that I really don't have much criticism for it. Singing is good, edit it if you wish, add some sweet music, and this will be very good.

Flash-MX responds:

Hey! Thanks for the review. I'll upload another song later with some vocals on top of an instrumental and will submit another RRC request. Thanks again! Let me know if you need me to do anything for points.

[K-Mart [WIP]]

Nice

Not a bad tune at all. The intro was done really well in my opinion and the song flowed really good. All of the percussion work was to my liking - quick yet controlled. Not quite IDM style, but borderline at times, lol.

The bass line was great and went with the main synth melody well. I can see a couple points where I'm thinking you want to clean up the mixing, but it doesn't sound to bad so far.

The speed up feel that the melody had a couple times was a great idea, and I think you pulled it off well. The song is pretty long too, and I actually left it on repeat for a while whilst editing some photos and totally forgot I was going to review it ;) It's easy to listen to and doesn't get obnoxious fast at all.

Zerest is a good guy, had a few PM convos with him and I like his tunes quite a bit. His piano melody sounds great ;) It's cool to see you two helping each other with songs too. I think you both have great styles and tons of potential. Keep up the great work.

As far as constructive criticism goes, I got nothin. You guys are so much better at making music than me I'd feel like an ass to even criticize anything xD No but really, it sounds great so far and I'd love to hear the finished and polished product.

Dj-GST responds:

Thanks man.

Glad you like the bassline, it took me forever to make a suitable one.

Yeah, tempo build up is sweet :P

Yeah, he is a good guy. I've known him since Grade 9 lol. Alot of our individually made tracks we send over to each other whilst they're still in the making, so the other can point out the flaws that need to be fixed. Every track I have on here he's listened to before anybody else :P

Sweet man, I'll send it over to you when I'm done, it wont be for awhile though.

[i9incher - liquid buzz]

Nice

Pretty ridiculous sounding and catchy. I had no other choice to start bouncing around mindlessly at the insanity of the beat.

One part disturbs me however. The synth at :58 sounds too distorted if you ask me. The rest of the song is great, but when everything comes together at that point it just sounds awfully distorted and almost low quality at that point. If you cleaned that up a bit I think you'd have yourself a solid 10 tune.

Overally very catchy though. Love the fast paced percussion and catchy notes on the main synth melody. Keep up the good work.

-RRC-

i9incher responds:

thanks man. yeah I might go back and edit that and then re-upload it. I'm still trying to figure out how to do that cuss I still sorta want it to be semi distorted but not so much that when you crank the volume that it just sounds muffled. I might check some tutorials on youtube to figure it out though. I'm glad you like my stuff though and I will be sure to try and make more awesome songs like this in the future as this was my first song I made with the intent of using it in clubs/ on the radio.

[.:Project World(Middle-East):.]

Not bad

Not bad seeing as how you were going for a middle-east sound. I think you pulled it off quite well, as it really has the regional sound to me. As it plays I can already imagine myself on a camel riding in the hot desert, lol.

It's not anything I'd listen to voluntarily, but the quality is there. I can tell that you put a decent amount of work into it and it does sound good, it's just that I don't usually jam out to middle-eastern tunes on my iPod, if you get what I mean, lol.

Not a bad piece though, just wish it was a bit longer. I'm interested to see what you come up with for the other regions. Keep up the good work.

-RRC-

camoshark responds:

Thanks for the review!

Not much to say here, it'll sound longer when the regions are put together, in some sort of medley or something...

Thanks again!

Cheers,

[Shoppy Times]

Extremely appropriate

Well, there's nothing really extraordinary about it, but it certainly fits upgrading your slingshot and stuff before another wave of catgame =)

Well done.

[Rise of the Vampire Lord]

Not bad

It's not bad, and probably should have at least been given honorable mention, but to be honest with you it really isn't to my liking all that much. The intro was obviously well thought out, and done well, as well as the outro for that matter. However the actual song itself didn't really come off as catchy to me at all, and the whole song doesn't really seem to have enough of a halloween theme to it. It sounds a little daunting at times, but it just doesn't convey halloween to me.

The guitar part that starts around the middle of the song doesn't really do it for me. The melody it plays just seems kinda lame to me, and that might be just the sound it has. It just sounds like an electronically generated electric guitar to me, in other words, too generic sounding. That's basically what turned me off to it. Like I said though, the intro is fantastic, and I even liked the outro too. The buildup to the...errm...climax was good, but overall didn't really convey halloween to me, and that guitar was far too generic sounding for my liking. Keep at it.

-RRC-

F4LL0UT responds:

Thanks for the extensive and honest review. Well, you are probably right - as a matter of fact you're confirming my own impressions of the track. I was aware that it doesn't really hit the Halloween theme and I was myself quite disappointed by how the electric guitar turned out.
