Action Twist

"Bass, omfg..."

submission: Action Twist
date: 16 hours ago

That bass in the beginning is freaking beast!

I really liked it.

The synth is pretty plain, nothing special but it occumpanies the bass really good.

The beat sounds good with it too.

I was hoping for pads, and you added them later on but..the song still seemed empty..=/

It still felt like it had empty spaces within the song. I would suggest adding maybe some more synth countermelodies in, you know, to give the song some depth?

Otherwise, this sounds like the beginning of a song that has major potential!

Keep it up man!

(WF1)/Tell Astral Feelings

"Niiiceee..!!"

date: 16 hours ago

Congrats on the top five man!

Not that I would expect less from you.

Yeah, the piano progession starting in the beginning without the harmonized notes was a bit off, but once the harmony came in..

All that crap went out the window! Nice job man.

Piano was HAWT! <33

Good work man! Top 5 ftw!

Mining Melancholy [Modern Mix]

"Donkey Kong! Memories..<3333"

date: 16 hours ago

Very very good. Love how you incorporated a hiphop/trance feel in this. It's pretty sweet.

Especially when you slow the beat during the, well I call it, 'The Build-Up' of the song.

I've always loved the song at the Mines..that and the Vine place..(Don't know if you have any idea what you're talking about.)

And I agree with you with the "rare musician". Now-a-days people are focusing more on Nobuo Uematsu (and I won't fret, I love the guys music myself), but I do know that I practically loved ALL the songs on the DK games.

Anyway..strung out review XD, thanks so much for putting your twist on an already awesome song!

P.S.-I don't know what it is at from 1:31 to like 1:36, that glitch was highly annoying (I know it goes with the song). Otherwise, nice job man.

Author's Response:

Hey, thanks a lot for your review. I know what you're talking about. I listen to the DK music quite a bit, and find myself listening to the Mining Melancholy piece the most.

Also, the 1:31 to 1:36 pattern annoys me too, so I am probably going to re-upload the MP3 (not the entire submission) with that drum pattern either changed or removed. I was trying to get that feel from the original piece, but it just isn't happening with these sounds.

Thanks again, though. Appreciate it!

Sincerely,
Ka'eo

Lonely Shore

"Lonely indeed.."

submission: Lonely Shore
date: 16 hours ago

First off, very nice song. You gave the feeling that you entitle in the name. You did really good with this, I always like heart felt songs like this.

Now the beat..

The beat sounds...generic? I don't know how to define it. The beat is good, I'm not saying it's not, it just sounds like it came from FL. Trust me, I have the same problem, and now I understand what people mean when they say that they can hear and tell when a beat or something sounds like it came directly from the FL. You could maybe add some reverb on the congos to give it a more solemn effect. (Is it congos? I have no idea lol)

The melody is really good, I liked it, especially with the bells. The flute was a nice touch as well, and I really liked the pads you used. I was hoping you'd put piano in, but you didn't, which doesn't really matter but anyway..

This is a real good song. I coul definitely hear it in a video game.

Keep up the good work!

Author's Response:

Yeah. I'm not very good with beat. Most of my songs don't have a beat, and that's something I need to work on.

As for the piano, I would like to use a piano, but I don't have any descent piano samples. I have looked all over the internet for them, but I can't find any free ones.

[SRT] Forbidden Island [?]

"Beat..sweetness,,"

date: 16 hours ago

I like the bass, especially in the beginning. You have it at the point where you can hear it, but it's not overbearing.

The synth in the beginning is nice, I like the melody you have going with it. After a while it becomes a bit bland. Maybe put some variation in the snyth to spice it up a bit?

But again this is still a demo.

Good luck with this, it sounds like it's going to be good!

{YouriX} ZeroX2

"Expecting.."

submission: {YouriX} ZeroX2
date: 16 hours ago

The beginning was nice, it sounded like an awesome buildup..

I was expecting something spectacular, or spontaneous near the end..

The sounds got louder but..nothing came!!

The kick could be stronger I think, it's a little on the weak side.

The synths and everything are really nice.

My only problem is that it felt like a huge buildup..but I think this is only a demo..? so if that is the case it's stil pretty good.

If you are making a full length version of this song..(or a longer version) this would be a great beginning, but maybe you should cut it a bit short because it drags out a bit.

Nice work man!

Yeah i know it has a great build up but i just dont know what to do next i got stuck or i choked. Making it longer would not be a bad idea. But your expecting someting? what whas on your mind? Pm me if you whant.

Gladness Piano ver.

"Nice, nice, nice."

date: August 12, 2008

It's good.

I can tell you just removed the slayer.

It sounds good with just the piano in my opinion.

I don't know, maybe you could tweak this, and switch up the piano melodys, and make a version of this song with the slayer, and one featuring the piano.

It is slightly repetitive, but the melody is still catchy and entertaining.

Nice man.

Author's Response:

I have actually added a string, made several changes in the piano, added reverb to piano, and made some changes in the structure and some minor things. It is also 17 seconds longer ;)

But thanks for the review and score!

"Ha, very happy."

submission: Gladness
date: August 10, 2008

Love the piano in the beginning.

I don't really care for the slayer, it takes away the clamness of the song in my opinion.

But anyways, this is nice.

Keep it up.

August 10, 2008

Author's Response:

Very happy indeed :D
I like happy songs, so I really just wanted to make a really happy one this time :)
I have made so many calm songs, so I really just wanted the slayer to keep people from falling asleep ;D

Thanks for great score!

Otherwise, can't wait for the full.

A Question of Time

"Mellow.."

submission: A Question of Time
date: August 10, 2008

The song has a good vibe to it..

It just seems to repeat it self. It's somewhat of a build-up song all lthe way through.

I guess to sum it up, after a while it loses it's interest.

It's still a good song though.

Keep it up!
