Nice bass

I wanted to complain about the statics in the song, but then I read that it was meant to be that way.... XD

Anyway, the bass is very nice and deep and I like it pretty much. The melodies could have been worked out a bit better though, sometimes it's hard to hear them because of the loud bass.

I really wanted to make a bad ass base kick in this song, maybe a bit too much then. :P I suppose you could turn down the bass on your volume settings.
I personally like the loud bass. :)
Going to start on a new project soon, hope you enjoy it if you manage to stumble across it when it's finally made.. :)
Cheers!

Nice

I like this one. Takes a while to start off, but then it gets pretty awesome. The melodies are quite relaxing, but you add a very special note into the song by glitching it up every now and then.

This also shows in which direction this song is going: In the unexpected direction. You never know what might come next and this is a hughe plus for this song. The listener has to be concentrated on this song so he doesn't miss anything you may come up with later on.

Nice work!

lol im glad you think that, i try my best to force the listener to pay attention

Generic, but still nice

Yeah, the song itself is pretty generic. The sounds you used can be heard in various songs here on NG and even the progression of the song isn't exactly unique.

But it still sounds pretty nice, the beat is driving and the song creates a good atmosphere. I also like the deep vocals you added in there sometimes. Those took away a bit from the "genericness" of the song.

Also, the song loops quite well. You fade in in the intro and fade out in the outro. This creates a pretty good loop, it sounds as if someone just turns down the volume for a second and then turns it back up to continue listening to this song.

Liam3003 responds:

I'm glad you think my song sounds pretty nice, I suppose you're right about the sounds I used. Although, It's pretty hard to use sounds that aren't already used.. I'm currently using a addon with my FL studio that supply's a large number of sounds at least 5-6 are used here. I wouldn't say the song loops well, (It wasn't intended anyway :P) Maybe I'm best suited to loops as my variation in songs so far is crap. I hope I can improve further in my song making ability in the near future :)

Cheers!

Relaxing

Well, there isn't happening too much in this song, but the chords do sound pretty relaxing. Only thing is that the piano(?) is too far in the background. It's overpowered by the chords, which is a pitty as the melody seems to sound pretty nice.

I like the little pause you added around the middle of the song, it takes away a bit from the repetitiveness.
Because while the chords do sound nice and relaxing, they are also repititve as - as I've stated earlier - there isn't happening too much during the song.

Dr-Slump responds:

Yeah ^^' I chose it to be kinda minimalist... that's why I chose ambient. And the piano with delay in the background... yeah, I've chose to put it with a small volume because it was rather dissonant. Dissonancy can be nice in special occasions. In this case, to feature it with small emphasis would be a choice. Maybe I went too far.

Thanks for the review! My new song is out. And it's not repetitive, I guarantee you that.

Until then.

Nice build up

I think there's no one here who isn't reminded of either: The Undertaker's entrance theme or "For Whom The Bell Tolls" by Metallica. ^^
Anyway, the bell at the beginning is still a nice way to start a song. You even made use of it throughout the song which was a pretty good move as it adds a lot to the atmosphere.

Sometimes some tones sound a bit dissonant, but on the other hand this just intensifies the "haunted house" atmosphere this song has and the melodies are pretty nice.

However, the loop isn't that great as the end is too distinguishable from the beginning, as suddendly all instruments stop when the loop starts over.
Instead looping this you should try to build up on what you already have and turn this into a full song rather than a loop.

Yeah i've realized this, but i've got a more recent version of the song now. I didn't want to mess with this one since people where still reviewing it and it would have gotten confusing. Thanks for the review though! =3

Touching

Very touchy. The music AND the lyrics. Yeah, you should add the lyrics to the song. :)

It's a very slow song and it keeps itself nicely in the background so that a singer with a strong voice would stand out pretty well here. Without the vocals the song sounds kind of unfinished. There's just the feeling that something is missing there. Maybe I shoulnd't have read the lyrics before listening to the song at least once. :/

Anyway, it's still a touching song, even without vocals. :)

Yay! Thankies haggard!

Nice, but needs some work

The bassline is pretty nice and so are the melodies you present in this song. Everything fits together nicely and it's a very relaxing song.

But it needs more power in the middle part and towards the end. The build up is pretty slow, which isn't a bad sing per se, but there isn't happening too much in the song for a pretty long time. At around the 2 minute mark the song picks up a bit, but this doesn't last for too long, unfortunately.

While I'm not too fond of the outro - it kinda just ends there - I appreciate that you tried something different. No hold note, no fade out... just let the song end. Nice in a way, but I still don't like it too much. ^^

Sawdust responds:

Thanks, too bad I can't really do anything to this anymore. Maybe I can add some strings here and there.

Nice melody

Well, it's a bit quiet and midi sounds always pretty bad. But it's a nice song anyway. The melody is nice (but doesn't sound very piratey at all :P ).

I would like to hear this in a better, non-midi version, with some more instruments. Well, or louder instruments. I can faintly hear some instruments in the background, but as the song is so quiet it's hard to make them out.

sarias responds:

I got an A on it :) (just found out today) she mentioned that she would love to see me now expand it, and have it performed at the next concert, so it will happen sometime in the next few months.

Very nice

I like this song. There's always something happening, either you vary the volume of the notes or you change the speed or you change the melodies entirely. It never gets boring listening to this song.

I especially like the fast part that starts at around 1:36 very much.
I also like that you added some sort of "background beat" with the deep piano notes during this fast part, it sounds very fitting.

Yeah all 10's from the review boyz :D Koodos

Nice

A pretty good fighting tune in my opinion. A very driving beat in the background and some good melodies. You even have some breaks in it here and there, where the listener (and the fighters as well ^^) can catch some breath.

Only the fade out at the end isn't so good in my opinion. A little "cliff hanger" - so to speak - would work better I guess (because you wrote "find out next time" in the comments). Maybe end on a single hold note and start the next song with that note. That would connect both songs pretty well, I think.

ChaosDragon004 responds:

Thanks for the review once again bro. Oh, and In just write "find out next time" just because. Its really nothing to be taken seriously. I was just giving it that anime feel you know lol. Other than that I'll try to end my songs better next time. Thanks again bro.
