[Rig - Moar]

great music

even if its not completely my style, this is very very good quality. very professional!

perfect for a game or animation, video anything! amazing work. love it.

Rig responds:

Why thank you. I think it's some of my best mixing work so far.

[Metal Ode to Bacon]

bacon

hi kevin. pretty cooll.

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

thanks kevin!

[SJ - [Octane] (wip)]

awesome

i disagree with Cmon5. Yes what he said needs some work, but you can hear it.

I would up the EQ on the bass end of both the kick and bass, and i think it will sound better just with that. also maybe tone the hats down a TINY bit at 1:38 or somehting and around 2:00. but still good. finally, i would change it up a little past 2:30. it gets kinda repetative at that point or around there.

but other than that, the drum work and melody sounds really good!!!! progressively getting better from your earlier works! really great dnb. congrats.

SteakJohnson responds:

I agree and thank you, i willl add bass to everything

[Locked In A Dark Room]

dig it

very interesting. pretty different from almost anything ive heard before. sounds good though so theres no reason for a bad rating!

kinda sounds like a psychedellic game over for zelda XD good job

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Thank you

I love me some Zelda.

[Far From Our World 2.2]

its nice

for starters, i would put a pad with long notes in the intro to make it sound less plain. past 0:50 i feel like it is still an intro. it builds nicely before it, but then after it sounds like it should still build to something because it is "quiet", or "concealed".

Either after 0:50, or maybe 16 beats after something i would either build it to a more "open" melody for a chorus, maybe with another instrument with the main one.

Or maybe if you want it to stay more "ambient" i would have that part in the middle fade out a little and come back in. have variation to keep it interesting ;)

Also, if you notice, the intro is good in the beginning, but thats the ONLY time you hear the song like that. No outro, middle, anything uses that intro again. Maybe include that intro in the song somewhere. So thats another way to have more variation ;)

good luck. good work so far, not a bad start

Dig1talDam4g3 responds:

Thank you very very much, This is the kind of review I was looking for. A review that would help me get better. I was thinking of revisiting this song a little later after I get more experience, but I might do it sooner than expected and follow your suggestion :]

Thanks again for the great review, I appreciate it :]

[Octane Drive [Preview]]

yeaH here we go!

didnt take you too long did it? Great peice here. sounds excellent.

the build pumps you up - both of them. not much to suggest. Although, I would maybe mix up the hat there thats there every 8th. (2 per beat) Keep it the way it is, but maybe every 16 beats do something different? just a suggestion ;)

otherwise really good cant wait till the final! woo

SteakJohnson responds:

hey thanks, final version is done it just needs mixing some more

[-PdG- Quick random shitty demo]

my suggestion

good until halfway through. then i would mix up the melody a bit. add some pauses to keep it interesting ;)

Prodigal responds:

Thanks man. I probably shouldn't have made this a demo, because I don't feel like finishing it at all, but thanks for the advice, i'll keep that all in mind if i make something like this again :D

[SPNR - Missing Something]

intro amazing

its the CLIMAX!!!!. You just need to change that! Its muddy with the bass. Make the kick more defined, take that background low pad thing out, make that melody STAND OUT! :D awesome song, im just really disappointed ;)

grrrr so close to amazing ;)

AlexCo responds:

mejgnhfndh its alright

[*Mystical* [IZK]]

very nice

i think the OHH every beat was rather distracting personally, but otherwise its a great percussion track. very awesome!

Jenni-Harry4eva3 responds:

Percussion. Lol.

[PT - Frozen Oblivion]

melody

is awesome. i think the high pass is okay. i tried it in my headphones and i didnt have a problem...

but yeah that melody is just awesome and i cant wait for some kick and percussion! would be amazing! i love that stuttering effect also.

please finish.

georgem124 responds:

I'm going to make a full non-guitar version with percussion and no limiter also.

I'll PM you when it's done!
