[_-{A Warm Wind in Avalon}]

Takes me to avalon

although i dont know wxactly where that is....

I thought the whistle-third flute instrument had too much treble and made the part when it came in sound a little grainy. The harps and choir sounded very nice. The melody is featured throughout the entire song but it doesnt diversify as much as it could. For instance give the brass the lead when it comes in and have the woodwind lead drop off.
A little percussion could have gone a long way

MaestroRage responds:

See I was debating with myself if I should have percussion in here. Timpini would make it too... warlike? Snares... well hell no, snares would definately make it too warlike in my opinion, and the only other percussional aspects I considered were tamborine, shakers, triangle, and other non drum/kick/snare attributes. I could be wrong, but I felt adding those really did kinda bleed the piece from it's intended core.

The brass was not given the lead as the tribe in question is more peaceful then battle oriented, not that they are weak, but they are not out to get anybody either, so the flute, being the messenger of peace in this piece, had to prevail.

The diversity issue, that i'll give to you, it's true, I probably could have spent more time adding more counter melodies, or changing the core melody around some more.

Thank you for the honest review though, it's good to hear some critical views, i'm glad you found the song enjoyable ^^.

Id hate to rain on your parade

But there wasn't really much going on in this song instrument wise, which i suppose is acceptable for the genre, but it left the song overall sort of bland.

The drums were nice. a bit repetetive, yet for the genre. You REALLY should have expanded on the riff when the drums filtered out in the beginning by throwing in more instruments with it.
I fact, most of the song consisted of just one instrument playing alone. Work on your polyphony

HouseMasta responds:

RGH, why you gotta bust balls? lol. thanks anyway for the advice, ill be sure to do what you said if i make another ambient piece

[|-Hard Binary-|]

Not bad at all

The production is definatly there...some of the instruments could have been mastered a little more though.
Great effects, nice little swing beat, good shit.

There were some dry spots, but it was overall very nice

Dj-SilenT-HunteR responds:

Yeah, i must master the song. i will wetten the dry parts too, if i find them :P
Thx!

[King of Hyrule]

that last review was a little

harsh....
But this is an overly remixed song. You threw in your won elements to te piano, s good for you. The piano needed some reverb to make it sound more realistic. It ended too soon, right when i was getting in to it...
Oh well

Wopatshki responds:

this is a review i like
its helpful, and fair

i know it should be a lil longer
i try it with reverb but i dont submit it again

thanks a lot for the review

[DJ N1GHT T3RR0R - Doomsday]

well, i see room...

for improvement!

First off, that bass kick needs to be lowed on the eq, to give the song some more uuumph.
The bassline was very repetetive, but i wasn't expecting too much from it so its all good.
The drums beats were very true to the techno style, kudos on that.
The synthline needed to have more of a melody and not follow the bass around so much, let it stand out
I was rocking out, so i cant say anything bad about that.

[There's Hope In Uncertainty]

what style is this

PLEASE tweek the delay on your lead instrument...it sounds osrt of crappy. Once it stopped the song had more promise, but was just too strange for me to get into it. A new style indeed, not quite sure if its going to catch on though.

Very interesting, take it as a compliment

[Khuskan - Midnight]

pretty typical intro

The pad looped too much? I dunno, drag the note out or something. The horns were an interestign touch. You might have been able to stick to that theme further into the song, throw in a tuba or something haha. The bells were very cool, and well mixed, but thissong definatly needs more KICK, like bruce lee.

Good job though, your turn
Take alook at Battle Grounds if you get the chance

[<KZ> Drumz N' Choir [Loop]]

why the hell not

Go right on ahead

Throw in some hi hats and pads while your at it.
I can see you making a sick little bass riff to go along with the drums.

If you do extend it, throw another choir part an octave or two higher overtop the one you have, itll sound sick

I would review more if you left me more to review.(check out my new song) ((cough*))

Kirizzle responds:

Thanks for the suggestions. And I'll go check out that new song of yours. *cough*

39 is such an unsteady number

so heres review 40.

The peaking on the intro should have been controlled a bit more, the second bar sort of overrided and made my ears hurt.
The drum fill didnt lead into anything.
The strings were repetetive
Nice voice transition, but the next synth to come in was too similar to the first.
In fact, the second part was too much like the beginning in general
My advice: stick to remixing and collabs....or keep these thoughts in mind

The effects and filters were pretty freakin sweet though

HouseMasta responds:

thanks i guess. sorry i couldnt please.

strings werent repetative, there were 2 sets and the theme varied if you listened. glad you at least enjoyed the effects and filters

[C3ntauri0n - Orchesta LOOP]

Fairness is...

what it is
I thought the beginning dragged a bit, the first four bars at least, but its trance so it will slide. Perhaps some key changes wold be in order, or at east take out the hit on the first beat after the intro or something.
The bass groove was sort of cool, wished it was longer, some diveristy, that would be key. The drums were nice.
The interlude with the vocoder was sick. But then it was more of the same.
I see room for some nic improovements

C3NTAURI0N responds:

well tnx for the revu and ill see what i can do 4 the rest of it.
