[Nature's Majesty]

Jungle scene

-The church bells at the beginning came in dreadfully low. To hear them I had to turn up my volume way up. After the :09 mark everything was fine though. I'm sure they were supposed to come in low but I think they were just too low. Once everything was underway it started sounding like a battle. Everything was going back and forth. Ebbing and flowing nicely with the tinging of the bells. The downtime you took at 2:00 was a nice change of pace. It brought the climax of the song at just about the right time morphing the song into a darker murky tune. Everything just seemed to get progressively stonger as the song went on.

-The drums seemed to get drowned out at the beginning and were never really brought into fruition until the middle of the song. I will have to say nice use of cymbals mixed in with the rest of the percussion instruments. I really like when cymbals are incorporated since they have a deep reverberating sound. You used them to end the song with a bang.

-I really enjoyed how everything worked together. You showed many sides of what seemed to me a jungle scene. At least that's what I was picturing when I was listening to this song. I just can't figure out what you used at 2:35. Maybe it's a flute but i'm not sure.

[Minuet in F]

A bit short

-I honestly can tell why some people think this isn't an original work and think you are just playing someone elses. The beginning twenty or so seconds sound awfully close to another great classical song but I don't know the name of it. The rest is entirely different though so it should be obvious it's your work.

-Are you using a classical guitar for this? I can't tell if it is one or a newer type of guitar. I'm having an awful time trying to decide if it is or not. Anyway it sounds really good. You mentioned something about construction noise but I guess the edit was uploading another version without it.

-Everything was so calm in the beginning but it eventually picked up and the difficulty of the tabs to be played. I think you did a fine job with writing and following up with the actual play of the song. It's well structured and even though you think it's sloppy it's better than a lot of the stuff i've heard.

-The only thing that I think that could be changed is make it longer. It doesn't need any additonal instruments or anything like that but at a little over a minute and a half it's a small piece. It shouldn't be too difficult to add something to it.

Darkmaster603 responds:

Well, I'm considering making it longer but it's only a minuet. The longest one I can think of is one by Beethoven and it's 2:30. I may do a String Quintet with it though (two violins, viola, cello, guitar).

This is a normal nylon string guitar. Classical guitarist have nails that change the tone of the guitar, so maybe that's why you thought it was something different. Writing this I started with a baseline that goes down the F major scale, so I guess it may kind of remind you of Air.

I just always listen for mistakes instead of listening to the song.

I may consider extending the B section

Thanks for the review!

[-[ Funky Loop ]-]

NOOOOOOOOO

-Your right about the funkyness being so amazing. It is too bad that you lost the file and would have to start from scratch to do anything else to this.

-Regardless of it being unfinished it is really good. It has a great funky feel but since it was in development still you never got around to adding more to the song and adding more variety. It could of definitely used more bass or piano.

FlamingFirebolt responds:

Well in theory, a second funk song would go much faster. Since i basically was just messing around with this project. ( I never planned to make a funk song lol! ). I actually started with that vinyl break with something big-beatish in mind ( Think proppelerheads etc. ). I'm glad it turned out this way though!.

Actually i thought of a keyboard solo after the 'chorus chordy' part. With the keys that are in the chorus aswell ( not that audible ). And maybe with a hint of the Hammond Organ i've put in there. And finally some more guitarish stuff. But, no use thinking of ideas now.
Thanks you liked it,

[Atmospheric loop]

Nice

-Your right in saying there isn't much to it but it honestly didn't need anything. This is so calming the way it is.

-There is a suttle build involved in the background noise which becomes more apparent the farther you get into it. The pitch rises and becomes more noticable to the ears.

-For being a loop though it didn't loop too well. Try reversing what you did up until the end and add it onto the end. That way it will have a beginning, middle, and end. The end will also loop much better with the beginning since they will be exactly the same.

-You are new to making music here since this is your second submission but just keep working and taking tips from people and i'm sure you'll get better in no time ^-^

[Dark Fairy of the Forest 8-Bit]

Sounds good.

-It sounds great for just taking the time to fool around. Your right about it sounding a bit mysterious. The way the melody was made is kind of dark. It would be great for any game that has a confrontation.

-The looping seems a little off but most likely if it's used in anything it will be shorter than the time it would take to loop around.

[Sadja's Soul]

Nice intro

The Intro was Amazing!!! i love how it started very simple with the guitar and slowly expressed with the drums and other instruments. The only issue i have is the ending. it was too simple and needed either a decrescendo or a loud ending in my opinion. i just lost that feeling i got from the beggining. all in all very good song. bravo!

[Homicidal Rampage]

Enjoyed it

The sound is clean and everything mixes pretty good together, but over all it's not really too much of what I look/listen for when I come here. It doesn't really make me want to kill people, kind of more like, it makes me want to wear glow sticks and dance like an idiot for 4 hours strait on extacy. Really, I feel like the only elements of industrial here is the slow tempo and the sort of "dark" synth through out the song. I think the best thing that you could do would be too add some dark heavy drums. That would be cool.

[-Its a Cold World-]

Sounds great

Give yourself a pat on the back because you deserve it. The top 5 in Newgrounds have not been been the same like it was the back in the day in which true music was developed. Great artists like you and many others should be known for their work and be given recognition to making such great music. Its awesome that you continue to dish out your feelings into the world incorporating it into the art of music.

[In A Trance Redux]

Favorited

I've heard this audio in a flash before and I wanted to review this but never got the chance to. Now, I can actually review this masterpiece. The audio sounds sounded really crazy. A little funky hear and there but the main thing that caught my eye was the rhythms. They sounded sick.

[{Runaway}]

Great

-Well first off cool intro, there the lead did not sound to weak as it was alone, but after some while i think it lost its power, and when you added a second synth, you just surprised me, you didnt introduce the coming of it, you just added it. I think maybe to introduce things as the song goes along is VERY important, or else i just get surprised =P I think maybe another lead, and to plan some parts/transitions/bridges more would be a great first step to make this into a REALLY great track!
-
Second off i would like to mention that this mix is a mess, as said earlier i think that you didnt introduce your transition/bridges well enough, and therefor i think the song just lacked a ''point'' And it just became a mess of parts, good parts though! But it lacked a propper structure, now hhc or not, it needs a propper structure! xD
