[Bass Loop AL]

\m/

Not bad for a first try. Could use some work here and there of course. Sometimes it sounds as if you played off beat, so you should try to fix that. ;)

I liked that you also added a small drum track to it. It sounds more "professional" that way. ^^

These are some very nice melodies put into this track. Very catchy. And that high pitched "ding" that can be heard in the track (especially at 2:08 to 3:12 ) can drive you nuts... it just skips the auditory canal and drills it's way directly into the brain of the listener and it makes you wanna have MORE of it. But then the 5 minutes are over and the song ends... so, the only choice you have is to play that track again. And again, and again.

So yeah. Great track! :)

Thanks, I was looking for something to pierce through the rest of the music. It's two different instruments on two different tracks, the first panned to the far left and the second panned to the far right. There's a slight delay and the one on the right is louder and clearer, I was trying to create an effect of motion. Some people thought it was annoying, but I'm glad you liked it; was added to really polish off the song and I think it's an important element.

Whoa, kick-ass song!

Sounds as if I was sitting in a club right now and the masses go wild on the dancefloor, while this song is played at top volume...

The bass is amazing, the mixing is done perfect, the song is quite diversyfied... this has everything that a good song needs. Very nice!

Thanks man. Have fun watching all the girls dance. Yes, we both know that's why you're there, lol.

[Unfinished Story (original)]

\m/

I like what you did there. So, boredom can be helpful to be creative, I guess. ^^

It sounds a bit rough here and there, but I guess you didn't put that much effort into the mixing (at least that's my impression when reading your description).
Some of the instruments are a bit too loud (like the drums), so they are overpowering the main melody.

[Lost In Her Eyes-eugenio.mRMX]

\m/

This is a very nice remix. I listened to the original again to see/hear the differences between the tracks and I am amazed what you did here.

You managed to keep the original song intact while adding a lot of your own ideas to it.

The pause in the middle isn't really necessary, I think. You could have worked with a fade out/fade in here, or you could have just added the second part seamlessly to the first part.
Also, the beginning of the second part sounds pretty weird, as if the original file is corrupted at that place...

A very quiet and pretty nice song. I like the almost dark atmosphere that this song creates.

The main melody is very catchy and it fits perfectly together with the chorus that can be heard in the background. It sounds almost heroic (and dark at the same time ;) ).
I like the image Coop had in mind, with a big sailing boat. I imagined the same when that chorus set in.

I'm also looking forward to review your 100th submission! ;)

Hey, thanks man! I get a huge buzz from making songs like this. I don't have the best equipment to work with to create an organic orchestra, but I like to think that I can manipulate what I have got to create something interesting.

[-Air and Rain-]

\m/

The beat is very nice and the main melody is very catchy.

I like the weather effects you added to the track very much. It creates a great atmosphere. The rolling thunder, the rain... and a quite happy melody to it.

Here's what comes to my mind when I listen to this song: I see myself sitting at my window, watching a thunderstorm outside. The rain washes away the heat that many people suffered under during the week.
A puff of cool wind blows into the room through the opened windows...

Nice song! :)

haha cool, its awesome that it creates that image for you. Thanks a bunch for the review!

[[TMM43] Por Que No]

\m/

The mixing of this track is done very great. Sounds very professional.

It sounds very repititve, as the beats don't change that much during the song. But I think this fact qualifies this track to be played in big clubs. It's no use to play highly complex songs in a club when all the people want to do is to dance. And I think your song is perfect for that. It creates a very happy atmosphere and I found myself tapping to the beat while listening to the song.

Good work! :)

The track sounds quite good, but it's missing a part that really stands out here.

The parts you have here fit very well together and it's nice listening to this song. But I wish something more would happen here. A brigther main melody would be good. The whole track seems to be quite "dark" and deep, so a slightly higher main melody would sound quite well, I think.

Also, the ending is so abrupt, so it might be nice to loop this song, as Coop already suggested in his review.

Mad-Muppet responds:

Hey thanks for the review! I know what you're saying, and yeah, a main melody would be nice. Thanks for the review!

[Subconscious Invasion]

\m/

It's a nice dance track with a good rhythm to it. I like how you add more and more parts as the song plays. That way you keep the listener interested and you also keep the song from getting too repititive as there is something new to listen to every few beats.

You also managed to mix the song pretty well. Even with so many different melodies and parts playing at the same time everything can be clearly heard and no part is overpowered.

I like that tune that starts at 0:41. It sounds pretty funny. Too bad you changed that part slightly around 0:55. Also, it always sounds a bit off beat throughout the song... at least to me.
