[The 5 Seconds Of Awesome Mix]

Oh man..

This is amazing! I love what you did, and I loved listening to what everyone submitted.

I loved 1:50, 2:59, 3:55, and the first two rock songs that contained vocals.

Haha, those were great.

Great job guys!

[Underground Colour]

Wow, intersting piece.

You seem to be pretty good with this to me.

It sounds like a pretty down to earth D&B song, one that you would probably hear in a car cash or an epic fight scene. Matrix like anyway.

I'm not giving good constructive criticism today.. >.>

I'll try and scrounge up something because I'm not in my mood to try and give advice or something.

Uh..The drums are great to be honest. You did a good job with that. But the fading in and out. That tends to get a bit annoying. Maybe try not to do it as much, and if you do, don't make the effects drastic and constant, like near the end?

Anyway, great song.

zenodio responds:

Thanks a lot man :D

Looks like people like this song more than i expected.

And thanks for the advice even when you wasn't in a good mood. Thanks.

[(5SCC)Five Fucking Second Song]

Lmao..

This is awesome.

Favorited.

Schleif responds:

haha, thanks man! keep rocking \m/

[{CC} -~- DrHappy]

Sweet.

The melody in this is cool, especially with the piano dancing around with the synth. And I was diggning how the piano faded out into that other bouncy synth.

The fading was awesome, so I don't have a problem or anything. You kept movement in the melodies, everything flowed nicely..

The piano, once again, was GREAT.

I'd have to say that was a very productive 30 minutes.

But if you wanted me to throw in some constructive criticism then here:
Honestly, what you were doing with the opening synth, which led later on in the beginning, was fine. It had a lot of movement. Me personally, halfway into the song, I would have thrown the piano in and thrown in some nice chords to flow with it. Honestly, I don't have much to say. I wish you'd make it longer. lol

corncamper responds:

Hmm .. I'm not sure if i'm gonna add more piano or make it longer. Might do. Thank you for the kind words :D

Btw, why are you never online on msn anymore :/?

Thanks again for the review ;D

[- First Flight -]

Wow.

You weren't kidding when you said it sounded better.

When the strings came in at 00:16, I was blown away. This song is great, and the image you portrayed in your writing I most definitely felt within this piece of music.

Great job with this!

Now I know what professional samples sound like.

Those strings.. <3333

The piano was great too, as always. You played that by hand right?

Ha, I can't get over the quality..Great. =]

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the comments!

Yea I played the piano by hand. As I'm getting better I'm finding that quantization really takes away some of the feeling in the pieces. If you ever want a recommendation on what professionals to get when you get to that point, let me know. I have high-end, middle-end, and lower-end recommendations (for all types of budgets) for you. God I sound like I'm advertising for these companies.

Anyways, it makes a huge difference. Thanks again for the review!

[Gathering Storm]

Awesome.

Love the beginning melody and what led afterwards. When the strings and bass came in.. <33333 Nice.

The sound effects were a nice touch too.

When everything came together, it sounded very good. I couldn't exactly tell where the storm came into play with the piece, because to me, it all sounded pretty high spirited to me.

Anyway, this is good. Nice job!

Favs? =P

I think so..

curriemaster responds:

Cheers for the review, glad to hear you like the song :)

[Rip The Game (feat. T.E.K.)]

Hm...

I'm not that big a rap fan, but I was really digging this track. Maybe it's because I'm instantly attracted to string instruments and a nice hip hop track laid down behind it.

This was interesting in itself, both lyrics and music combined.

I wish I could leave a longer review, but I'm more of an instrumental reviewer more so songs with lyrics involved.

Good job though. Keep it up.

NimbusTheGeneral responds:

I appreciate it fam, thanks for coming through and leaving a review. Check out some of the other tracks, you might be surprised.

Stay up,

[B|3 Something]

Nice.

The kick, melody, bass, everything, sounds real good together.
The harmonies are well done too.
The melody doesn't really stick out to me all that much. Nothing special, but this sounds good nonetheless.

Keep up the good work!

[Rollin]

The beat. =]

Awesome beaaatt man.

The melody I thought was a tad bland, but after a few seconds, I realized that it went with the beat really well.

The synth that comes in later in the song is kind of.. X_x. It's raspy and sounds kind of loud and overbearing.

Cool song man.

LedZeppelinluver180 responds:

thanks dood im glad you like it.. yeah it was only my second song that i really thought sounded good and yeah with that synth at the end i just was tryin to change it up a bit
