[TransAmbient Loop]

\m/

Even though it's a very short track it doesn't get boring, even after I let it play for some time.

The mixing is done pretty good, only the bass line should be a bit louder. Also, the loop isn't perfect. It's very good, but there's just that fraction of a second where I can here the loop starting over. I can't even tell what it is, but I just know: "Well, here it starts again."

Thanks for your review. Yeah I know, but for me that split second only happens on the first or second time around, but then doesn't do it anymore after that.

thank you,

It's nice that this turend out while you where testing. It's nothing too great, but it's always good to create something that is worthwhile to listen to while testing out some effects.

What bothers me most is the overused clapping sound. You should try to replace that with something else, like a snare or a bass drum.

[rock song?]

\m/

Sounds interesting. Could be the intro to a rock/industrial rock song. It's just too short to tell if this is really "rock".

The beginning of the track is pretty nice, but later on it gets too confusing and too messed up. I'm missing a real structure here.

A great track. I like the fast beat you used in some parts, it sounded pretty awesome.

However, there are some parts in here that just sound too generic for me (typical techno/trance beat and not much else happening, like at 1:15).
Also, overall the track may be a bit too repititve, even though you had various parts in here. But they are more or less the same throughout the song.
Or maybe it's just the main beat that doesn't change that much during the song that gives me the impression of this track being repititve.

The ending works quite well, I think. Much better than a fade-out, or some sort of "big bang".

Thanks! I probably should've worked on the part at 1:15 a little more, I just needed a different melody to fill in the gap.

I'm glad at least some people actually like the way I ended it! :D

Thanks for the review!

A very quiet track. Maybe even a bit too quiet. I think you should let the beat running until the end of the track. The change in style is just too abrupt here.

Other than that, I really like the melodies and the great atmosphere you manage to create with the track!

[Paper Mario - Tutankoopa]

\m/

A nice track. The intro and the outro may need some work, though. The build up in intro could happen a bit faster in my opinion. Also, the part between the intro and the middle part isn't that exciting.

But the middle part is just awesome! Various images from various Mario games came to my mind when I listened to the main melody, which means you've done everything right here! (At least in my opinion ;) ).

The outro is a bit of a let down. It already starts at 1:19... I wished the main melody was playing until the end.

It seems most people have problems with the intro and outro. I can understand that, and I will see if I can avoid that in my next track.
At least everyone likes the middle part! ^^
Thanks for the review!

[Asteriod Chillout]

\m/

It's a nice ambient piece. I like the feel of this track. It's not exactly what I would call "spacey" but it has some kind of extraterrestrian feeling to it, heh.

I like that the song keeps itself in the background so well. It can easily be used as background music in a menu or the movie itself without distracting the viewer too much.

However, there are some quieter parts that you should work on (like from 1:20 to 1:30). Only when I turn up the volume of my speakers I am able to hear the bass playing. Either turn up the volume of the bass here or try to change the part to something different.
Also, the ending is too quiet for my taste, too. Maybe you should try to loop the song and see how that works out.

Cobbler, stick to thy last.

Nah, just kidding. The guitar playing isn't that bad, only the sound quality could be a bit better. It just sounds too muffled.

The intro is very good, the riff here is pretty much kick ass! After that the song loses a bit of that "kick ass"-ness, but it's still decent.
The major drawback may be that there are no vocals in the track, but it feels as if there should be some... there are some parts of the song where I just wait for the singer to start singing.

Overall, it's a good song, but it needs vocals!

[Deeper Into The Mansion]

\m/

If you were going for a "creepy halloween" feeling, then my congratulations. Mission Accomplished! ;)

Deflektor is right, the beats somewhat ruin the halloween feeling, but I don't know how you could change that... maybe keep the beat slightly more in the background, so that the creepy sounds stand out a bit more.

Overall, the song is very good and I like the creepy atmosphere it creates!
