[[DX] A Cold Night]

Not enough variety

-This would work great as background instrumentals for vocals but it isn't mentioned anywhere about that so i'm just assuming that this is an instrumental only project.

-It's a short repetitive track basically. The melody repeats itself over and over with only the intro being unique. If you want to rework this keep the first 45 seconds or so and try adding more variety as a whole after that.

Yeah, I know there is not enough variety, I guess I have to work more on this track. And yes, this is an instrumental only project.

Thanks for the review.

[[G] Friday Night - WIP]

Catchy

-It starts out a bit slow and could use a longer play-in. Unless you are going for the beginning note to cue in the vocals. That was something I did notice that was done rather well. The music really helped the vocals flow and they rolled right out.

-I think you should finish this though. It has a great start and the beat works well for the pace that you are using. I couldn't honestly grasp a rhyme scheme though unless you were using some form of slant rhyme. I had to listen several times to get the lyrics so posting the lyrics somewhere in the author comments would really help.

I just uploaded the lyrics for your personal enjoyment. Glad you think that I should finish this. I'll have a finished version of this in a few days.

[Short Circuit]

It's ok

-Nice intro effects. Simple but they got the job done as far as starting everything out nice and easy.

-I liked the drop at :59 only to have everything come back up with a faster pace and a darker melody. It seemed like it skitted notes and blended them together.

-Only problem I saw with this was that you may have put too much variety into this. It's kind of spastic in parts and drab in others. Work on the pacing of songs in general.

Somnocyde responds:

Hey Much appreciated. I'd agree that alot of the melodies (as well as their intros) were pretty random. All in all, my up-and-coming submissions will be loads better. Thanx Alot! <>,..,<>RAWR

[epic 8-bit awesomeness]

Not bad

-It's six months out and only has seven reviews before me. It's sad how much activity goes on in the audio portal :/ well other than great works like this being created.

-You did wonders with only 8-bit sounds. You could really expand this if you had more to work with but lets face it, you aren't going to have tons of flashy things from something that was so limited.

-I loved how you mixed the melody up in certain places and made it layered with two paces. The transitions were good too without any noticable note breaks.

thanks!!!

[Coop83 V.S Mans0n]

Well

-It's hard to judge accurately since it doesn't have the vocals yet. That being said half of the song is technically missing. Just try and convince Coop to sing a little or something lol.

-It has a nice upbeat pace with some interesting pads. At least that's what I think it was that was making the clomp clomp noise at the beginning. Sometimes it's a bit hard to recognize when it's computer generated. I would like to see more percussion instruments used or at least some more bass.

-There was an awkward transition at around :57. It doesn't seem intentional but it sounds really bad and interrupts the whole flow of the song. It would most likely sound better with the vocals layed over and i'm not sure exactly where you are going with this because of that :/

Mans0n responds:

Transition at 0:57 seconds is just fine.

[Metroid Dubstep]

WIP?

-The intro was the best part of this. It definitely had that metroid feel. It was nice and slow and the wobbles were used nicely to accentuate the original melody.

-I'm not saying the bridge was bad but it wasn't good either. It didn't fit in well with everything else. It just stuck out like a sore thumb and took away from the quality of the whole song.

superuberinsaneausm responds:

yea,could of used a diffrent theme for the bridge

[SUIA-Drums&bass?]

Fooled me

-At first I was going to question what you were doing when it seemed like a trance song but the drums did get into the workings. I would suggest bringing the percussion in at an earlier stage and add more pop to the drums. They are there but they don't ever seem to come out. Meaning that they weren't really a focus other than that oddly done drum solo toward the end.

-As mentioned before I didn't like how the intro was done. It was too calm and could of used at least some pads or light drum taps. Then at the end you completely got rid of the melody for a complete drum solo. I'm not even sure what you did at 2:11.

-Try and keep everything together by not just using one aspect at a time. Keep everything multi-dimensional and a little less crazy.

superuberinsaneausm responds:

thanks for the advice, i really agree that i could of added more effects to the drums
211 was an outro,to end the song

[[G] Holy Advocate ft. JP & KC]

Polar opposites

-The thing about this song that irked me the most was the fact that I had to turn my headphones up just to hear the melody. That mixed with having drums that kicked entirely too hard in comparison. This can be fixed by either equalizing the sound a bit or by just adjusting the volume of one of the parts.

-The melody was very smooth but it was quite repetitive in it's nature and didn't have anything that could hold my interest for several playthroughs. The drums would sound better if they weren't so overpowering of everything else. As far as the drum instrumentals they were solid and had enough variety that they don't need any reworking other than volume adjustment.

Jirohbomb responds:

I have to fix that up then. I have gotten a few complaints about drums. Thank you so much for your review.

[Solar Epoch (Final Mix)]

Nice

-In general it's very pleasing to the ears. Keeps a nice tempo throughout.

-I like how you peppered the track with a lot of percussion but never overused them to the point where they overpowered the main melody.

-The ending seemed rather lackluster. It stayed at the basic melody you kept. It would of been nice to see it brought up an octave or added something to end it with a bang.

Sawdust responds:

THanks for the review! I'll keep endings in mind next time I write something rock n roll.

[CLUBeRz (WIP2)]

Still needs work

-It still needs some overall work to it. It's quite sloppy in some of the later parts in the song.

-I like how you built everything around one single melody. At times it doesn't show out to much or it gets covered up by other elements in your song. Try and keep the melody at a solid volume as to not just have everything else cover it up.

-You had a lot of transitioning to different parts which was great since a song with good variety will hold more people but it's a bit sloppy at times. Try remastering this and smooth the transitions out a bit.

-So far it's sounding great but a few touch ups here and there wouldn't hurt anyone.
