[MH16: The Rise]

lol

Wow lol the first song I ever made used the same arp lol. Wow. This was kinda cool but not a serious try at a song.

FairSquare responds:

Well, it was a serious try at a song for me at that time :P
Haha, it's funny to hear how much i sucked during this period xD
Thanks for the review!

[MH16: All I Want]

hehe

It's very nice. I just don't like that underlying paddy string thing at the start. It gets on my nerves. Other then that. This song deserves a 9. It could have been a little bit better but the melody was awesome. Also that flute was well placed. I think the synths you used where a tad mediocre, maybe get edirol orchestra or do some heavy mastering. I listened to this once without headphones and then again with them. The environment was much better with more immersion and you could notice the reverberation much better.

Well, good work. Keep it up! :D

FairSquare responds:

Well, i already have Edirol and the strings you hear are from Edirol :P
And i actually like the synths i used, but i guess that's just a matter of personal opinion.
Anyway, thanks for this review! :D

[Pie Hopes]

lol

I'm really sorry but this is bad. I'd rather listen to something on the radio even lol. And i dont like the radio.

The voices where out of time/tune/stupid panning. It would sound better if the voices where sung nicely and then you had the music (which is also bad lol) Also u made lota mistakes with the piano.

Meh, it was bad o well, i suppose it wasnt serious. I know it was improv but me and my friends can do alot better then this, so should you.

o well, hope ure not offended lolz, peaceout

Organic-Cucumber responds:

Im sorry for the dissapointment, I don't think you really understand that this was recorded live from skype, added to the fact we can't sing and leech was just tapping the same thing on his keyboard over and over again. No offence taken, atleast we have somthing to go by to improve appon, thanks for reviewing.

:D Tardom

Thankyou for a serious review, they lighten my spirit. I assure you that there were no mistakes with the piano as it was not premeditated. If you mean to say they did not conform to a scale, or dare I say, they sounded shit, I agree with you entirely. And yes, the voices were terrible, that's why it's so funny. I hope that you direct me to some of you and your friend's improv recordings.

SessileNomad responds:

i thought i was in your faves???

wierd, ill get right on that

thx for good review, but what exactly is fail about th bass?

[WonderingAround]

nice

Cool bassline, a tad overused. Needs some better equ'ing. Was this recorded or flstudio? reason etc?

KVPspb responds:

Flstudio and some recorded free-sounds. Yea, equ'ing is trouble for me :(

[41. Hell's Gate]

oh man

That intro, was soooo awesome. Reminds me of castlevania. Drums where also kinda cool but needed more bang! maybe some reverb or something. Lol i hear the generic tune for the trumpets.

blackattackbitch responds:

Ahhh, this song brings back memories, back to the day when I couldn't use an effect plugin for my life. Back then, I used to think that all it took to make a good song was a decent melody. So in a way, I was like Dimrain47 lololololololololol

Jokes aside, this song was severely lacking in many departments. I could list them all, but that would take too long. It's still one of my old favorites though, and I may recompose this song at a later date. Also, the name is awesome hahaha

Thanks for checking out this song though, and I appreciate the review!

[{B.A.B.} Wild Spirit]

hmm

It's really nice, I esspecially like the trumpets :D. It's really got that orchestral sound to it. It doesn't sound that great until you turn it up loud or put headphones on to get more emmersion. I think if you put your mind to it you could translate this for a real orchestra and it would sound magnificent. :D Peacout !

PS, did you make this with edirol?

blackattackbitch responds:

Nope, I used a whole bunch of free plugins and soundfonts, like I always do.

It's a shame that you didn't enjoy it without turning up the volume. That's something I'll have to work on later.

But I might try writing this song on paper. Who knows, I might just give the sheet to a school or something, let them play the song at their school concert, you know?

Thanks for the review man! Appreciate it alot!

(P.S. I did get your PMs, I was just a bit lazy and I procrastinated to the point where I totally forgot. Imma stop by after I get back from college and drop you a review, k?)

[[e99] Trance]

yea

I understand that you worked hard on it but I dont really like it. It doesn't really have a nice melody. Also it feels too depthy. The intro is also very off putting. Needs a quicker build up. Well it's easy to critisize. Well keep trying. Try making something short, like 2 mins and try polishing it perfect. Adding a little effect here and there, a drum fill here.

Get it really good, and make sure the melody is a tad complex, and changes, not too complex but no to simple either. You also should have a lot more drum fills, at least every 8 bars or so. Try something simple. The thing about this song is the melody is too repeditive and there is just wierd variations. Have your main melody, and something that the melody goes into and changes. A different melody which links to the main one. Im not really talking about a verse/chorus, but you get what i mean.

e991e responds:

I understand. but i was going for a really trancey song here-- repetitive, bassy..etc
Thanks for the review Killa
