[SUIA-the fall of man]

Good

Although the title is a bit weird, the song itself is pretty good.

Melody, harmony and all that are good. Drums were OK, although the drum bass gets slightly annoying after a while. You put in enough variation to keep it interesting.

The strings sample you used sounds a bit too computer-generated. Try finding a better sample for them.

All in all, a good 7/10 ; 4/5

superuberinsaneausm responds:

thanks i made the title that way to attract attention

[Rockin Out In Mother Russia!!!]

Alright

You did an OK job on this. However, it isn't exactly perfect.

The part from 0:58 - 1:12 is a bit awkward and empty. The part from 1:20 - 1:34 however, sounds a bit too messy.

The synths were different from the stuff you usually hear, which gives it a unique touch.

All in all 6/10 , 3/5

superuberinsaneausm responds:

the part from 58-112 was by accident because i was using a demo channel that cut off for 20 seconds every 2 mins sorry about that and as for the next part i definitely agree i needed to make a better melody for the bridge or verse

[[S_Rock] Overdose]

Good

You did a great job on this. Although hip hop isn't exactly my specialty, I can hear you worked hard on this. It sounds nice and has a dramatic touch to it.

I can picture this being used in games like GTA ;)

The only problem I had with this was that it gets a little repetitive after a while.

8/10 , 4/5

S-Rock responds:

Yeah this beat may be a little Rep. But on the other hand what song isn't without lyrics? Thanks for the review :D

[Cybersurfer (K)]

Very good

Haha, I liked this a lot. Has a nice sound to it.

Melody was good, harmony was very good. Lots of variation and the drums are nice as well. However, the refrein does get a bit repetitive after a while. (1:24 - 1:51)

Great for something like a racing game.

All in all, an 8/10 and 4/5 for you ;)

krssvr responds:

cool!, thanks for the review ill be sure to return the favor

[{Absolix} - Terra (80's Disco)]

Nice!

Well done, I really enjoyed listening to this. I'm guessing you put quite a bit of effort in this. Good to hear this isn't just another simple midi import.

However, it isn't perfect. The intro is a bit too long and the snare drum is a bit too loud. You should also make the main synth lead a bit louder as it tends to disappear in the background.

Also, in the end, it sounds like the instruments aren't completely synced with the beat (e.g. at 3:25). I'm guessing something went wrong during recording / converting?

Anyways, you did a good job. 7/10 and 4/5

Absolix responds:

Thank you for the review!

And Looking at 3:25 and beyond - I don't know what's causing that :\ .
The layout of the track was synced perfectly, but honestly i use FL sometimes; so I think it had something to do with too much distortion or too much sound. Sometimes it does that, and it delays a certain part of the song. (Eg: a Kick or a certain lead).

Again, thanks for the review!

[Infected (Frances' Bad Day)]

Spooky

Very eerie, though it lacks a bit of structure. Some parts were a bit too random as well :p Very creative though. 3/5, 7/10

Chozz responds:

Thanks for the review :D

[[CS] FrenzicElement]

Nice

Very jumpy, but in a good way. The main problem with this song is that the melody does get a little bit repetitive after a while. Also, the part between 2:25 and 2:38 sounds a bit... weird, and with that I mean the drums are a bit weird. You should've tried to make a smoother transition there, but that's my opinion.

All in all, a job well done. 4/5 , 8/10

Unrl responds:

Hey dude, thanks for the feedback, I'll make sure those run through in my next few songs. I do agree with what you've said too, thanks for that. =)

[Everyone went on.]

Hmm...

Some parts were ok, though others sounded a bit too unharmonious (it almost sounded like you randomly placed notes in some parts).

Also, this sounds very computer generated. I think it would be better if you used a midi-keyboard for piano songs.

However, I can hear it has a story to tell, which is good.

3/5 , 6/10

Calamaistr responds:

Most of my music sounds unharmonious the first time untill youve went trough a loop or two, then it starts to make sense because i use unconventional transitions and stray away from textbook chordprogression, this track is.. afterall meant to portray extreme lonelyness and gloom.

Also, the piano used is a professional and very heavy vst i recieved from a ng member, it cant possibly sound that static.. i think you mean that the whole track is built with mainly short keys, but it is meant to be so. In fact, if i would play it on an actual piano i would play it exactly the same.

thanks for your review.

[Lost Universe]

Nice

I liked this a lot, good job. Good structure and a good amount of variation.

The only problem I had with this was that the melody fell a bit into the background in some parts and that the melody was a bit too slow.

4/5 , 8/10. Keep up the good work!

SuperGoodSound responds:

Cheers! Yeah. Not perfect. But I'll keep making more and I'm only 24 (hey, that rhymed) so I have many years to improve and get better (I hope I'll get better at least, I think that the general pattern though).

[=Jack's Lantern=]

Good!

Nice, very spooky indeed. Hower, it could use a little more depth and variation in the melody. Has a good amount of tension in it.

4/5 , 8/10 ;)

Hades responds:

Actually, I was considering making it a bit more complex, and then realized that leaving it repetitive could actually make it sound more creepy. The diversity was supposed to be achieved through background noise and dropping some sections instead of adding new ones. But yeah, it probably could have been a bit more developed, I just decided to leave it this way. Thanks for the review!
