[RD2010: Energy Glitch [Cut]]

Chaotic

-This is definitely one of the best songs that I have listened to so far that is being put into the Robot Day contest. One of the more natural robotic sounding songs with not too many variations. It's an excellent holiday that everyone seems to be creating great content for by the way.

-The main problem that this song has is that it stays around the three chord combination for too long. You add a lot of effects into and around the melody like you stated in the description but morphing the melody and changing it up every now and then would help take away from the repetitiveness.

-As I stated earlier I really think it sounds naturally robotic and you use several nice sound samples of robot functions making it seem like there are robots in the background doing some work while everything is starting to fall into chaos. Just work on it a little more so it sounds a little less repetitive in the main melody and this has a great chance of winning.

[Isolate ft. Montehawks]

Well

-This is quite an impressive song being as you said that it was your first time doing a collaboration with someone else on a song. It takes teamwork and time to get on the same page but I think you two did a great job. Once again though I really like listening to the work that you produce since you do take the time and effort to work on your songs instead of pumping out song after song of menial work.

-The beginning hits very hard and breaks the silence so you can start focusing on the piece at hand. The clapping isn't entirely necessary but I have noticed that you use it every once in a while as a build-up mechanic and to increase the crowd getting into the song. Excellent piano work as usual.

-You have several nice transitions throughout and build-ups abound most likely due to the length of the song. I felt that it could of been shortened so you could of compacted the song more so you didn't come to points where it felt too repetitive. Songs don't necessarily need to be long to be good.

Thanks for the review!
Hehe yea, quality over quantity is a special philosophy of mine. I want to make sure that all of my songs are made with my heart, mind, and soul.
I really like these transitions as well, most of them were Montehawks' doing. He's really good with them.

Yea, I'm really working on making my songs shorter. Since this was a collab, it was hard to do because Monte started this song before I asked him if I could join him in it. So he already had like a minute or so that I polished up then we both continued on. And our next collab date is really sketchy because I moved away for college so the only way we can collab is via internet which takes a lot of time. But you'll hear more from us!

Thanks!

[Hymn of the ancients - TTC CHG]

Well

-It's a nice suttle track that has just a way of setting the mood and progressing from where it began and flourishing into quite the atmospheric piece of work. I've come accustomed to seeing a lot of people adopt using a storyline with their music to guide them through and ultimitely help create a well structured song. I'm not sure if all of your work is done like this but it seems to work very well in this instance.

-Overall it's very short but you were able to convey an atmosphere and scenery in just the short time. The wind chimes were implemented excellently with the main piano melodies. At times I really enjoyed listening but the middle section seemed a little too dark in comparison with the beginning. Maybe incorporating a lighter transition would of helped a little to alleviate this.

Its 100% story concentrated so when theres a dark transition theres a dark scene.
Cant change the story for the music.

Thanks for the review.

[Head First Into A Wall]

Great

I first heard this in :THE GAME: and it was awesome there, but heaing the full thing here is even more awesome, can't wait to put it on my MP3 player. Since I can convert the file it it's not an MP3. I especially like the beginning and ending.

[{-=Bugg=-} Fresh Start]

Review

-I'm probably going to be that annoying reverberation of what you have heard earlier by saying this but it's such a generic trance song. I know that it is your first time putting your foot out and trying to do something in this specific genre but it's better to think outside the box and add your own spice to the mix than to do what has been done a million times before. The melodies that you used were rather generic and were very simplistic and repetitive throughout the entirety of the song. There wasn't anything that really kept me interested or focused on the song.

-I'm sorry but trance really isn't my style of expertise and I may not be able to tell you exactly what to do to make your trance works better but I can give you some hints and nudge you a little. That long down point you had somewhere in the middle was a good way of changing pace but it was just way too long and way too low. It's always great to have variety in your songs but try to keep everything more compact and concise rather than dragging things on. It keeps the listener more interested and doesn't make you want to leave the page.

Thank you! I will try to make my next productions less generic!

[Xyirx - Dragon's War]

Awe Inspiring

-This was quite an enjoyable listening experience to me as I had just woken up and gone on Newgrounds. While you also gave it some depth by adding a storyline and plot that can easily be picked out whilst listening to it. It definitely has qualities of a nice progressive storyline and it comes to a definite fruition towards the end where it has a dramatic end.

-It's very difficult to be constructive and find something at fault in this song when after several playthroughs I still can't find any faults. It has a great planned out structure to it as I mentioned before and that's one of the first things that I look for when listening to something. The sound quality is also pretty phenomenal and really helps with the listening experience.

Thank you so so much for a detailed review. :)

[Guitar Partitia #1 - Romance]

Classics :)

-Wow, the length of each progression is pretty long and with only a few pauses it must be rather tiring to play this. It's well worth the effort put into it since it's done quite artfully. Not too many mistakes considering the overall length but it's difficult not to since some slippage is bound to happen from time to time.

Darkmaster603 responds:

Yea, I am really mad about the mistakes, but it's nothing that I can help. I use a cheap-o student model 100 dollar nylon string guitar, so mistakes are bound to happen. It's funny, because when I play Alvarez I notice almsot 0 mistakes, but on mine I can hear them.

Thanks for the review!

[SUIA-glock drop]

Dubstep Budday

-I like to listen to some nice underground type beats every once in a while. As X said this is quite the interesting song. The melody had an interesting electronic build and was very dynamic. The song didn't stay the same for more than fifteen seconds anywhere. While the beginning was definitely the icebreaker the song was made at about the 0:38 mark where it went into a more complicated structure.

-You say this is the final version of the song but I think you could bring some of this song elements into a future audio submission that is longer and more structured throughout. This was more of just ear candy that didn't have a real purpose as far as going anywhere.

[Arial Overveiw]

It's good

-This is quite different from the stuff that i've listened to of yours in the past couple of weeks. It's a testament to your flexibility and the fact that you can throw in some nice electronic stuff with your usual instruments.

-It started quite slow and i'm not sure if you had the first eight seconds just empty on purpose for the menu purposes or if it was just an overlooked aspect. Anyway the initial electronic melody pulses in nicely and the cymbal usage is done very well. It has a nice deep reverberation that gels with the quick pace of the melody.

-Overall it's pretty short but it sounds like it would work great for the purposes that you stated as to why you made this piece. Hopefully everything works out with your friends game and it turns out how he wants it to.
