pretty good for screwing around..

The first 1min/half were enjoyable on its own, very JHX style, but does drag on a bit,
The actual song which starts around 2:00 is very nicely done with the exception of VERY minor timing problems i.e between the rythym guitar/snare/bass
The solo is nice, kinda sounds like nothing was left to do though since most of its badass went to the intro,
The drums were nice, could use a little more crash/hi-hat to get that crunchy feel, hell more drums overall would be good (in volume I mean) could be a little more agressive with the tempo too.

Overall: Very nicely put together, there were some nice moments (particularly the intro)
my suggestions: stronger drum track in volume and in number with the crash and hi-hat,
thats about it

9-5 on this one

ZephMan responds:

Thanks, you should check out my newest submission.

just no good

Sorry but this didn't quite do too well, although I can see the point of the song (obvious chaos), the actual song components are not good, too much bg noise taking away from anything good, nothing works well with each other, no structure whatsoever, badly distorted sounds
my suggestions for next time : don't smoke whatever you did when you made this one

3/10 for the concept of chaos
1/5, not quite ear bleeding, but close

There's no doubt people find this a useless review, it's written right underneath it in that grey text. Everyone needs to read that. "People think this is a useless review" "People think this is a useless review" "People review think this is useless" "I think review people is useless" "People think you're useless" "You're USELESS" USELESS USELESS USELESS USELESS. What kind of name is Flash MX? That's the name of a program to make bad videos with. I heard your music, you're a snob. Wax'd

right timing

But thats about all I could pick out, ever play Medievil? Very similar to one of its tracks (the progression I mean), good job for doing your own drum track though, a lot of the music on here (including mine) uses drum tracks, so kudos for that. Nice acoustic sounding stuff, very Danny Elfman style with the piano too, good job over all, suggestions: use a metronome when playing and when listening to playback, will def. help with timing.

9/5 here, good job

Kaz666 responds:

Many thx for the good review. It sure is an honor to be compared with Danny Elfman, one of my favourite computer game music composers. But it's true, I should have used a metronome. Next time I'll do better.

driving beat

Its very nicely done, the beat is always there driving the piece, and the sounds are very nicely processed, good chemistry between all the different instruments used, excellent variation on the melody, felt it was a little muted though, not sure if its an excessive use of filter, or just too much bass frequency on the EQ, overall the song was excellent, my suggestions: bring the bass-freq down on EQ, or don't use as much filter with the drums

9/5 here

Mesosade responds:

Note Taken, Thanks :D

love horror

and loved this piece, good use of bells, good use of bass elements, only thing is I felt it could have a little more synth-fx, but thats just in my opinion, not really a necessary thing. Did however feel that it needed something strong in there, or soemthing of a pseudo-lead, either some low-volume synth lead or something, for more patient listeners this isn't necessary, but it wont capture everyones attention with just a complete bass ambience. Again, thats just my opinion, this track was great as is,

10-5, nothing essential missing

TheLobsterman responds:

thanks for the advice, ill remember it for the future installments. hope you keep tuning in, tell your friends ;)

its good

Very original intro, bass drum is nice, well-balanced, the synth parts and fx all go well together, don't see much work needed on this part. The crash cymbal is good, sounds like a techno classic. Synth parts on :50 are nicely done, snare needs some processing though, kinda killed the synth part. The snare however does integrate nicely on balance terms, my suggestions: get a new snare sound, some pads would be nice, or choir, anything that can back up the happyness on the synth parts. Excellent timing too,

overall, great job!

9/5

Joowna responds:

yoo thx for your comments, your the 3rd to tip me on my snare, so I will change it. I will search for some pads, im not very good at choirs, I need a new sound pack for that. Wait for the full version :)

ok ill write on this one

So since this is a pretty complicated piece Ill break it down, first the things that could be improved on.

First off, the filtered funk guitar sound throughout the whole song is just too loud, it takes away from the style of the piece, its not good as a lead instrument, and for a bg instrument its too loud. When the bass comes in, both being pretty loud it turns pretty inaudible, if anything heres where the guitar should be a little more silent. Also, the guitar dies out immediately, and being so loud its very abrupt/akward. The Rhodes playing is great! This is an example of a mis-balanced piece in the song. The rhodes should be louder than the bass here, as its the most important thing going on in the piece (the higher part) the new funk guitar that was introduced was great, shoula've kept that going the whole way through. The bass was very nicely done though, with the exception of the balance issue, everything came together pretty nicely, intro is very nicely done... for a bit then completely cuts off, as if it were rushed, I think the transition could use a little work. On the good stuff, the drums are excellently done, as is the bass. Sounds very Daft Punk (one of my favorite artists), its a good enough lenght, loved the jazz integration in there with the rhodes, good use of synth fx throughout the whole song, good timing, pleasing song to hear.

So again, my suggestions: Balance the guitar in the beginning, or bring it down a bit on volume once the bass enters, once the Rhodes comes in, bring the bass down and the Rhodes up, bring the overall bass sound a little down for distortion purpouses.

Overall, great job! the only problems were of balance, the actual song is very nicely done!

8-4 here

Geigamg responds:

Hey man thanks alot for your time and this great review, I learned alot about what i should tweak and hopefully my next soound will be bette. And to be compared to Daft Punk O_o im honored they rock, probly cuz of em that i luv music soo much. ty again =D

Ps: i was more or less halfdrunk when i made this 1 lol.

good for what it is

although I think this should defenitly be turned into a song, its got a controlled insanity to it, def. would like to hear this as a song. After a while does get a little annoying, seeing as how it goes nowhere

9/5 for a badass loop

yeah peaceful

but I felt you couldave used a stronger bass, the whole song felt a little unbalanced tipping on the high side, in this case just raising the volume on the bass pad would do it a huge difference, maybe toning down the bell frequency on the EQ would help too. Reminds me of a Deva Premal song, (New Age stuff) with the chord progression being two dimensional. Overall good job, just balance it out next time

8/4

good playing

bad timing, repetitive as well, both stars out,

on the timing issue, the rythym guitar is going faster than the tempo on the lead guitar sound, the bd/crash cymbal is out of tempo with the (snare?) im not sure what that sound under it is but it makes it sound out of time, like a flam almost

good sounds going there though, loved the drum sounds and the lead guitar, the rythym guitar should come out a bit more

8/4 for repetitiveness, (i know its a loop, in that case just upload the looping part, no sense in having to make us cut it short ourselves)

Killers123 responds:

Thank you very much, and hope you check out some of my newer work later on. :D
