[[Assios] - Gangsta Rap Beat]

Yooooo

was almost done with my review, then my flash player stopped working and internet closed. So here's an abreviated version.

Intro = awesome
Beat = dope
Orchestra = needs more(whats there is too cool to stop)
Lead = Too low, needs chorus fx
Volume = turn it down before exporting(its crunching and glitchy)

haha

Assios responds:

Thanks. I've fixed the glitching now, btw, and I changed from orchestra to piano :)

[MH16: Racing The Sun]

Drum fills

Guitar samples sounded too much like a midi but im not gonna judge the song based on that standard. I liked the strumming effect alot though. Felt like the bass could have been a little more busy from the 45 sec mark on. Piano solo was weeaaak :( It matched the pattern of the guitar riff too much. Try some ascending apregios.

Im digging the vibe though so 8/10 5/5 4.20 / 5.00 (+ 0.040)

4.20 score....sweeet

FairSquare responds:

Piano solo? Where? :P
I think you mean the part at 01:54, but that's not a piano, that's a guitar.
And the titel of your review... what are you trying to say with that? That my drum fills are good or that they could've been better?
You may have a point on the bass though, it's a pretty basic bass :P
Anyway, thanks for the review! :D

[Divinity Spectre]

Dance Dance

Nice little flang going on there. The sharper bass was cool, especially when the other waa sound came in, although, there could have been a little more variation since it was sort of playing the melody. Was definatly bouncing during the beginning part. Im not really sure how well the two parts go together. They have really different styles. Keeping the same drums and bass retain the song's wholeness but you could probably turn this into two tracks. I really liked the initial pad that started the second half, sort of wished it didnt get drowned out by the lead(nice filtration).

Cool Stuff 8/10 5/5 2.81 / 5.00 (+ 0.40)

SigmaSpore responds:

im glad you liked the bgining a actually worked hard on it, as easy as it might be

peace out

[Solus- Night of Longing]

ooh

tenor sax. used to play one myself back in middle school...

the solo is pretty rockin, and the drums sound really realistic, with the crashes and fills. The open hi hats were a little too powerful. Electric piano was an apropriate touch, would have liked to hear a solo for it at the end though.

Cool song and good luck :D

SolusLunes responds:

Yeah, I like to think I did a fairly good job with the drums, but I suppose I do need to fix those high hats :p

[°°Never Coming Down Again°°]

cyberfunk indeed

for looping purposes, I would have stuck the synth line that stops at the 15 sec point towards the end of the loop as well. Liking the filtration on the bass line and the drums have some pretty sweet flams on the snares. The open hi hat should be utilized more frequently...

Whirlguy responds:

Yeah I agree completely. Thanks for the review (:

[Emergenct Room]

cool fx

could definatly hear a heartbeat thrown in the mix. The choir sample sounded sick(a little loud though), should have utilized it more, like when that synth melody comes in at the end, which sounds badass, by the way. It almost sounds like the ambulance sirens are passing by, a really neat touch.

Who is this dangerous group we're dealing with?

S3C responds:

THE INTERNET TOUGH GUYS GROUP

thanks for the review! yeah, i guess the synth does sound a bit like ambulance sirens, i never noticed that. i might throw some rotary effects on it then :P

[Punk -[Air Remix]-]

ahhhhh

the panning in the beginning is crazy, it resolves pretty nicely once the bass comes in. The transitions were really cool, especially the first one, when the drums come in. I think the kick could probably be turned up a bit. cant really understand the lyrics beside "punk" and "burn motherfucker" Liking the change up at 2:30, thats a weird sounding tom though. The lead melody was cool, but you could have done more with it, like splicing it up towards the end or something. Never the less, this song is awesome (haven't heard the original, so my view might be bias).

Drum solo was a neat touch, should do some more live time controlling to keep the listener intrigued before you fade out...

Anima-Theory responds:

The lyrics are "Digital punk" and "Punk Motherfucker" and different alterations of those words :P

I thought the 2:30 part sounded good, its actually not a tom but a kick drum stretched, it's pitch changed, then re-sampled.

Thanks for the review :D

[Wonder - Mataro]

Not what I was expecting...

The drums worked really nicely with the vocal samples. Some of the synths were interesting choices, mainly the plucked bass that came in with the vocals. Maybe try a saw wave, somethign more busy sounding. Is that a crowd sample too? The middle breaks down well, not sure if you even need vocals during that part. Silence is golden sometimes in music, it sets things up and amplifies the other instruments that are playing.

This actually loops pretty nicely.

Its a shame this song doesn't have any reviews...(until now)

Mataro responds:

Haha, I was starting to wonder if this song would ever get a review. I just figured I'd come and check my submissions on a spur of the moment sort of whim.. Didn't expect to really find anything. Always a pleasure getting a review from you, RGH. :D

I think the percussion and the vocals worked out pretty well, too. I'm a little dismayed to see this getting such a low score and so little attention, but such is life. ._.

The 'plucked bass' is actually more of a tabla, but good guess :P. As for the crowd sample, it's actually just a huge crash. The reverb gives it that sound. Anyhow, I'm glad you enjoyed it, and thanks a ton for the review. I'm working on finishing and submitting a lot of the songs I've been working with lately.. So I should have a bunch of new stuff up soon, in all sorts of varying genres, as usual. :D

[You Make Me Feel Like ...]

That was very beautiful

nice lyrics too

lets stop talking and play guitar solo...oh faster faster... well, don't tell me you're done already hahaha

this is awesome :D

sorohanro responds:

Quite indecent the "faster, faster" part, but what a heck, who can control penicorns ? right ?
Thanx for review.

[Catch Me (Preview 2.5)]

Words of wisdom

(giving a 5 to quiet the 0 bomber man)

funny you mentioned the pluck part in my song, cuz thats the first part that caught me off guard in this one...it almost sounded off key, faded out pretty nicely. Maybe try it with a piano? haha(seriously)

I feel as the kick was too high up in the mix, it should be sounding with the bass, not making that clicking noise. Fills were pretty nicely executed, and the song flowed quite nicely, building on parts and dropping them out again. The off-beat synth bass could probably be turned down a bit, try mixing the instruments in groups before mixing them all together.

The next section came out of nowhere, though it sounded awesome, much cooler than the first half. Gonna need a transition between parts eventually. Those flutes are goin pretty crazy at the end, sad it stopped so prematurely

:(

Good job though!

Aydin-Jewelz123 responds:

thanks :D ye people have been telling me to take out that plucky thing... guess if its gotta go its gotta go :P

Thanks for the advice on the other parts I will take this stuff into account and it will hopefully make it sound a lot better =)
