[C - Sonofkirk]

Sweet!

My only complain it is at around 00:23, some of the riffs are off beat. :/

Other than that..

[Sonic 3D - Rusty Ruin Act 1]

Personally..

I've never heard this before..

But I'm loving it.

Sorry I can't really critic it, since it's not your song and I've never heard the original so..

To make amends, how about I just favorite it? :P

DeltaPhoenix responds:

Never played Sonic 3D?
(Thx for fav)

[LO - Deadly PayBack]

Nice.

I liked the rhythm and everything, but me personally, I have a certain distaste for slayer, but that's not going to affect my score for you, lol.

You did a really good job with this, I wish you would have extended it a bit more.

Great job though!

Oakwood responds:

Yeah I'm dreaming of larger songs but I'm using FL Studio 8 demo version so I can't save anything, I can only remember very well :P
Thanks for the review!

[WF1)Manhart Reviving the elder]

Nice..Sweet pianos. =D

It's cool to hear you make music with a different feel to it.

I'm so used to your oriental-based style.

Even so, you did really good with this.

wyldfyre1 responds:

glad you liked it =). Yeah, it was nice doing something different.

[Mac8 - Writhing Fixation]

Those strings..

Omg..

I love them!

I've been trying to find some good instrumental sounds, but most of the free ones suck.. :s

But this is great though. I can tell you put a lot of time into this.

Did you play the piano? You have many piano melodies in your songs (which own btw) and I've always wondered if you did.

But great job with this.

I know I'm late and all, but I hope you did good on the contest.

Keep doing what you're doing, because you're good at it.

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the review again. I did play the piano and, although it can take some time for me to practice, I try to play each part live and fix the major mistakes. I think it can give the piece more feeling. I'm not as good as I'd like to be, but that's where the practice comes in.

I appreciate you noticing the effort put into this. It feels good to be recognized for that. My song placed 7th in the contest, out of about 40 or 50, so it did pretty well. First time I've been up that far in any of the MACs. If you liked this one, you may want to check out my new MAC entry, First in Flight. It's for the October MAC, Flight in Freedom that was based off of a picture.

Anyways, thanks for the comments and motivation, I really appreciate it. I'll check out some of your more recent songs when I get the time. Thanks again!

[-=z3=-CaveLoop]

what?!

No way..

If you are really passionate about making music, this phase will only last for a while.

Favorites.

Zn3tz responds:

Hey man thanx again 4 the rewiev C:
REALLY appreciate it ^^

[-=-z3=-ScareFX]

Dude..

really good.

Don't feel bad. It takes time to progress when it comes to making songs.

And heck, this fx sounds really good..

You ever try making them and giving them to flash artists?

Zn3tz responds:

Thanx man, well really I just felt like making something like this since I love the Penumbra series and so(Penumbra is a swedish puzzle/survival game)
Thnx 4 the rewiev :D

[JQ's-Killer]

You need a guitar..

Honestly.

What you do on FL Slayer is good.

If you could play it on a real guitar.. X_x

It would be very nice.

Not a bad song.

The synths sound good, but the song still seems empty.. At least to me. I don't know what it is though. I just feel like the song isn't as full as it could be,

Nice though.

johnnyq1233 responds:

thanks for the review.
It was done many months ago when I was still kinda new to this, but I'm learning more every day.
More stuff will be coming!

[Lean on Dis]

This good to be honest..

It sounds like an automated guitar, but then again it might be a real guitar.

Is it?

This is really cool to be honest.

After a while though, with you switching between the synths and the guitar, it became a bit repetitive.

You should have added another part, similar to the guitar breakdowns you ere constantly using.

It's good, just repetitive.

johnnyq1233 responds:

It's slayer on FL studio!
It could have been structured better, but I lost the build file during a virus attack.
New stuff is coming though...Thaks again!

[Solaris]

This has..

A deep space feeling to it. It makes me think of satellites. :D

The melody is good, but the song seemed a bit empty to me.

But then again, if this is suppose to give off a space feeling, then it has done just that.

You didn't have as much melody in this song as you usually do.

But it's still good altogether.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Was going for that. I've rekindled my fascination with space, mainly philosophically. Been watching old sci-fi flicks like nuts.

As far as melody goes - There's a slight bit more addition in the two latter halves of the song, its light an hard to hear, i may turn that up. Will have to fix that up. The melody is a bit toned down. Vacant. Delayed. Washed. Etc.

Glad ya' liked. The inspiration came from a book/movie of the same title "Solaris". Very good watch and read, i recommend it for sure.
