[Demon Voices]

Hmmm...

Call me weird but i find little wrong with this song. It has a very soothing feeling to it, the repetitive guitar for me doesn't take anything away from the song. Simple but effective, and sometimes that's what a song needs. The background sounds, the strings sounds worked really well for this.

The only big problem i heard was there where a couple of peaks in the volume at a couple of the vocal parts.

It may be long, but i'd hope it wouldn't matter how long it is. I like it =3

Monkeydelic responds:

Thanks :)

This was recorded a couple of years ago, and i was pretty much new to the recording process as a whole, so there's doomed to be some peaks here and there.

I've always like the long lenght, it was a natural part of the recording process, I never thought about the lenght, I just played until it felt natural to stop.

Thanks for the review :)

Namaste.

[[Dr.S] Keep On Movin']

Good basic rock structure

While it doesn't go and make me want to stop all i am doing to listen to this, it is a very well put together tune.

But because this is built on a fairly basic structure it has some problems with sounding a bit repetitive. The bass part and rhythm guitar get a little drowned out at times with the solo part. The solo's fun sounding.

The other problem is the software instruments themselves. They sound a little funky and not in the good way. But i know how much of a bitch dealing with software instruments can be so i wont give you to much crap about it lol Because they sound good still.

Not to bad =3

Dr-Slump responds:

Thanks for the review kirby! Your review club surely proved itself very efficient! The 2 times I posted my songs in there I got 3 or more reviews. Thanks!

I know it's kinda repetitive but oh well... what I loved about this song was the bridge for the solo, and the solo itself. They really put me in a good mood. Thanks for the review!

[Alien Relations - BK]

Fun

Though the octave instrument that starts up at :29 sounds a little funny without some sort of underlying baseline or some other kind of harmony to go along with it.

The vocal sounds help break the monotony, otherwise I don't think this song would have been very interesting.

It does have a good sound to it though, things fit together well, the beat is alright, but nothing majorly special. But that doesn't mean that it's bad because of this, just not quite as adventurous as it could be. =3

Bracksta responds:

i agree, this song is a good basic song, but lacks that super hooker and sinker. i could go back and remake it with all of this feed back. i think i will

[Sg720 - Tonight]

Like the groove.

It has a definant groove type of feeling to it. With the sort of simple drum beat going on and the more complex beat pattern of the tonal sounds makes a nice little groove.

The melody seems to over power the backing sounds at parts to the point where the back sounds become almost intense to the ears.

I do like that you seem to have tried something different with it though, it has a very full sound to it, with plenty of variety throughout to help keep it interesting.

So pretty much the main thing that has to be done is to equalize the individual instruments so they stand out better, and maybe turn down the main melody part a bit.

Not to bad. =3

sumguy720 responds:

Sweeet, I've been focusing on arrangement, so it seems that I've neglected my equalization and mastering a bit. I'll work on that more in the future.

Thanks for the feedback!

[LB - Your Beauty Defined]

Nice an Pretty

If I where a dick I'd say this sounds like a generic love ballad, but since I'm not I'll be much more subtle about it. :)

Everything fits well together, the strings sort of following the main beats of the piano. But they don't seem to do anything to different from the main theme the piano has set.

The same can kind of be said with the other instruments that where added in. This isn't to say it 's a bad thing, it would just be nice to hear a bit more variation, and maybe a chord change somewhere.

And I don't know if anyone else noticed this, but the song seems a little right heavy. I mean this by, since i use headphones to listen and the right side seems to have more noise going to it throughout, and since I have weird hearing, it kind of distracted me a bit.

But other than those few problems I liked it, it was pretty. =3

Lublub194 responds:

There are chord changes, and there are many changes in the flute, and harp, but they keep near the same ones.

The reason it's right heavy is because of the basses, bass is usually faded towards the right.

Glad you enjoyed it other then the few things

Thanks for the review :D

[4:20am]

Hmmm..

For all it's worth it's entertaining. But it gets a little old after the thirtieth "Fuck" or "Shit" lol

The problem with a parody of a rap song, is you have to cuss even more than the actual songs. Cussing would be fine if it was used right, in which you seem to have tried to show here, but it's just a bit forced in my opinion.

I give you props for both randomness and for it being tired and just wanting to do something about it lol

None to bad, just be careful of becoming cliche. I mean that by parody cliches, not rap Cliches, those are just fine to use. =3

DumbassDude responds:

Thanks for the review.

It actually was 4:20am when I rapped this, so my line of thought wasn't exactly creative, ha.

[(CHS) Do Not Resist!!!]

None to bad

I like what you've got going here. Consistent, but with enough change ups to keep it interesting.

The distorted-like drum "solos" sound pretty cool In my opinion.

The orchestra part works, but maybe give it more to do throughout, I don't mean make i overpowering, but give 'um more to do. The vocals part gives it an ambient and mysterious feeling.

The Guitars could be brought up ever so slightly on certain parts in which they are the focus and melody driver at the time.

And this maybe a redundant thing to say (since haggard got to it) but the ending is a little offsetting for a video game type song, since most likely the song'll have to loop or it wont get a chance to finish. But yeah.

So good work on this one, hope to hear some more good work from ya. =3

ChaosDragon004 responds:

Thanks for that. I'll try to be more suspenseful with my endings in the future. Yeah, I did have some trouble trying to balance this song out, so yeah there are cases where something might be a little loud and drowned out. Thanks though bro.

[Piano_Force [Box Killa]]

ow the fuck did you...

Get that many downloads? Tsk tsk, I would be highly disappointed if i found out you cheated in some way lol

Anywho, on to the review:

It's a nice little arrangement, it flows pretty well. It's simple, but doesn't really seem to try anything out of the ordinary.

What I can say, is that it needs to be expanded; No i do not mean add more repeats, i mean expand on the melody, add some more change ups, then retun to the main melody.

Other than that, not much more to add, just keep on working on it, and maybe actually give it an ending, classical songs that fade out ar a little hoacky lol =3

Box-Killa responds:

It was used in that flash Windows Doors, and it downloads it :D

[Piano_Force 2 [Box-Killa]]

Wow... just wow

It's like you tried channeling may of the great composers from classical music (not the classical period lol) and added a bit of jazzyness to it.

I liked how throughout the volume of the notes doesn't stay consistent. Gives it a very human feel. Since his was probably done with Fl Studio or something. And the points that SessileNomad are a little strange, maybe except for the generic thing, but it does work for this song. But the quietness adds to it's tension, and to me makes it all the more beautiful.

This song if probably impossible, mainly because of those extremely high notes around 1:25, they sound maybe an octave just out of piano range i think. Otherwise this sounds like it would be great for a two piano performance. 'Cause sometimes one piano alone just wont cut it.

Please god don't change that awesome evil chord at the end, it was a beautiful mistake, please don't change it!!!!! PWEETY PWEASE!! =3

lol i wont :D ty

[Giga La Nora]

Hmmm

Well it was a nice little piece to say the least.

What need to be fixed up:

The instrument sounds need to be tweaked both in the software sounds being used, and in the volumes of the individual instruments. Because it was hard to hear some of the parts.

It feels a lot longer than the :45 seconds it is, probably because of the tempo of the song.

I do realize that good sound software is difficult to find, but do a little bit of searching and you'll find something.

Anyways, I would love to hear a more expanded version of this song, even though I wouldn't be about to use it in something, since i am not a flash artist.

Anyways, not to bad. =3

sarias responds:

I've considered expanding on this, it has room to grow, it was only aloud to be up to 30 measures which is why its the tempo it is. also thats midi for you, kinda sucks. thanks for the review :)
