[My Own Mystery 2]

this is in return for kindness

The buildup was too basic, at least switch up the second instrument that was introduced, so that it doesnt play the same bassline as the original pad. The second chord was a bit dischordant, but that ok, i can look past that.

The song really didnt go anywhere
Just a repeat of previous patterns, and i know thats hard to avoid while using fruity loops...i did it for wuite some time, but it will really separate you as an artist by creating a melody that flows between different harmonies.

Aye, it is something i am still developing

IamMark responds:

yeah i know it is still a bit repetative but if you listened to the first one you would see there has been a LOT of progress as well as a bit more variety. as for the bassline, i like the bass. its...bassy =)

[Verminosity]

It is quite possible

This was too weird. The synths you used were too ambient for the hard break beat you used, it needs at least something with some punch. The part in the middle...well it pretty much made my head spin, and i thought you were going to lose me al together, but the part after was intense.

This whole style of music is pretty cazy

dj-padman1 responds:

Yeah, I messed up the mix completely, it sounds pretty unpleasant. I probably should have made the last part the actual song, because the bass-line actually works well and there's less fx and random clutter.

And yeah, the style of music is crazy, but so are we for hanging out on Newgrounds.

[§Zeth§ - Reflection]

The beginning

really got me pumped up for something increible, and the slap bass was a nice touch to it. THe piano part was cool, but sort of a downer after the intense opening. The harpsichord-organ was too loud, and although it was the melody, took away from the other instruments. Both of the slow parts you had were cool, but they didnt quite fit in. You should work on smoothing out your transitions.

That probably sounded pretty negative, but its just critisim, I thought you did a good job

XGM-Zeth responds:

I agree, The only reason I actually uploaded this was because I didnt want it in my musical anyways.
(School Project).

So it was the weakest link.
Thank you for critism, and I knew about the piano parts and such being too hasty, It's just that they had to be like that, in order to fit the scene.

[LHM - REAL TIME (1998)]

Its like chill rock out music

The drums are ery cool indeed. It may be the headphones, but the panning is sort of irritating. I really wish the bass sound was held a little longer, and wasn't quite so drones out.
The voice sounded almost in the background. After the voices, it seemed like you just repeated the least two parts before it, and it lost its continious song feel, if thats what you

were going for. But I mean The beat is awesome. And Im rocking out to it pretty hard right now, so cool

[Endless Sound]

hey,

I nkow what you did for this one too. You went through all your instruments, and played ONE note over and over again. Never gets broing? more like always irritating.

Try again

dustyh responds:

Oh, sorry. Sounded cool to me though.

[Dark Loop]

wow.....

you wrote two notes, and called it a loop

Try again

dustyh responds:

Well... it's usefull as a loop nonetheless (I am making these for flash usage, not saying they are great musical compositions on their own).

[Under Dark Skies]

i really do like the mood

The bass was perfect for the part it played. The pianos needed a little more reverb. You should have nrought out the clavi sound more, it was lamost inaudible. Interesting transition in the middle I must say. After it it got to a part that could have been very sick, but the bass part was off, I would re-write it completly, and i think it would be better off

[RGH: Castle Guard]

yeah....

so for some reason it doesnt stream for me, but it downloads, so just do that.
Sorry for the inconvenience
I am baffled

NGAudioArtists responds:

shut up

[NGSteve - One and Only (Long)]

Wow....midis never sound good

they always have that little pause, that randonly comes into the song. The composition wasn't bad at all, but I wouldnt really want to listen to it more than once. I liked how you switched from piano to acoustic guitar....but the steel drums....why? The strings sounded much better the second time around, not quite so overbearing

[Redslash - Blaming Myself]

I wouldn't say it sucks

But it could use some obvious improovements. I mean I liked the drums and dirty bass sound, but the dealy synth and the strings were sooooo unoriginal. Yeah, it aint bad, but its not quite up to par....

NGAudioArtists responds:

thx for your opinion

the only thing i can really say is that well i didn't exactly submit my music to win

i just submitted it so people can hear it and if they like it to go ahead and listen to it
