[A Question of Time]

Mellow..

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!

MarkySpark responds:

Thanks for your comments, I appreciate it.

[The Deep Dark Abyss]

Love the synth..

..in the beginning.

I don't really say it's repetitive, it just feels...empty.

Like you could have had some nice chords using pads.

Or maybe put in some sick piano chords with the piano solo you used during the middle.

Not bad though.

DrWaldo responds:

I see what your saying... it was kinda what i had in my head atm

I want to add more to the piano

but thanks for the review :)

[Enemy.]

pads <3..

The overall melody was cool.

The pads were great, and the bass was smooth, I was digging it.

I agree the beginning is annoying with the repetitive "from now on".

I mean as a suggestion, you could start glitching that phrase out while letting the main melody, or a build up into the melody, fade in.

Just some CC.

Good job though.

[Relative Dismissal (Reworked)]

I hear the difference.

The keys sound less random now, lol.

But I did on occassion hear some resonance with the piano. Some of your chords were clashing with the pads.

I realized you added the slayer. Me personally I didn't really think it fit the mood of the song. At least like that. Maybe if you put some delay on it, to make it sound less rapsy and flow with the song..

But I had favorited the first of this, I love the synth and the pads to death.. <3

It's freaking awesome.

I don't know what it is but I love this song.

I had a question I wanted to ask you regarding this, but I'll pm it to you.

Good job though!

[Zone x]

The bass...

<3.

The beat...<3.

This is real chill and mellow.

The fx or pads that came in at around 00:27 killed the mood though.

It's too raspy and makes it lose it's feel.

Otherwise, this is an awesome song.

The bass I heard in the end sounded good, except that the song faded out!

Sigh...

Nice though! =D

Secronz responds:

Chrz

[MediEvil!(The Spell)]

The voices...

I don't know how you can do it, but could you make the pitch changes between the "aah" sounds smoother? Especially in the beginning?

When the "aahs" switch, there is a gap, and I hate that, especially in an orchestrated piece like this. It should run smoothly across.

The harmonization in this is great though.

It's going to be good...^.^

Flash-MX responds:

Hey thanks for the review!
Yea I know what you mean about the voices, my brother pointed that out this morning, the gap that you mentioned in the beginning is the same one. This can be re-written, but im also hoping to use different voices for the choir.
Thanks again!

[Relative Dismissal]

Cool...

The synths were amazing.

The piano was confusing in itself. It sounded to me like you just chose random notes to go along with the synth.

The beat and the original synths are really good though.

And the pads...<3.

It was a tad repetitive though.

And with the piano, I would try to make the notes less "random".

And maybe add chords to accent the mood because, this could be a great song.

Not bad man!

Areken responds:

Thanks, I know it's not perfect, but every time someone points something out, it gets that much better. I really appreciate your review. :)

I do realize it's repetitive, as are all of my songs to be honest. That's just a personal flaw in my music. I make something good, but can't make more once I get the tune. :P

Thanks again though!

[Beats on the 4th]

Good yet..

It is very repetitive.

The synth was nice, but the rhythm was the same throughout.

You didn't add onto it or anything.

Not bad, but it could use a bit more attention.

[(WF1) House Of Mystics preview]

Strings.

F'ing awesome.

And I love what you did with the flute.

And the piano...ah!

This is going to be good.

Definitely one that would be great in a flash.

Anticipating the full!

wyldfyre1 responds:

as always glad to hear from ya! Glad ya liked it and much luv to ya! hehe.

[_-_Last Breath_-_]

Soft...

The beat is nice, as well as the piano you add in the middle of the song but...

It sounds empty, and at times can be a tad repetitive.

I don't know if you are going to work on this more, but a suggestion would be to add in more piano, like give it a counter-melody that coincides with the main strings that I'm hearing.

Or you could make a bridge (it might not be called a bridge but whatever) in the song. Change the key, freestyle with the strings, give the bass a more in-depth rhythm, have some piano.. (unless you can't tell by now, I <3 piano)

Since this seems like a a beat someone would rap/sing to, I suggested the bridge but anyways...

Good job with this!
