[-Midna's Desperation-]

hmmmmm

no offense but i think this is overrated. i hear some crackling in it, also, it seems like there is only one instrument being used, and i think the sound of the song in general could be improved.

just layin down my thoughts.

bigjonny13 responds:

The crackling might just be your speakers, because I don't hear any of it. It may just be a response to those really high notes, which I assume is the case. There are two instruments being used, but they are both variations on the vibraphone, so I understand how you could mistake them as the same instrument. Overall, thanks for the feedback.

[Alchemy]

cool

is this powerhouse? thats what i would name it, not sure if this is what it is.

full of energy. i like it. though i do think that the intro and the ending could be improved, and not so boring with just a kick. a couple of effects in those parts would be nice.

i do like the melody here. its fun :)

VelociD responds:

Alright, alright.
You guys want more FX, i get it :P
I'll see what I can do next time.

Thx for your reviews!

[ZeldaOOT-Windmill(MyRemix)]

it has been done many times here..

but this one isnt too bad. There just isnt anything really interesting changed with it. im sure if you searched you would find some that added pads, other synths, etc.

but theres nothing wrong with this one, just saying theres not much difference ;) it sounds pretty good though

poolplayermaster responds:

I didn't want to mess with this one too much but i changed a few things other then just the fact that i switched between it being link and crazy guy playing it and then harmonizing at the end that was my main focus

[MS - Caution]

well see...

it has (what i like to call beginner) melody that goes E...F...G...F... etc etc.

i would say try holding the E of the pad over and over instead and change some other background synth or melody. and then maybe after the last half of the 4th repeat (14th beat), have to beats of F or G or something else.

just a suggestion, but i think it would go a long way. the pads and everything sounds amazing, it just needs a better melody in my opinion.

Malefactor responds:

Yes it does have a beginner melody :D I am not that good yet haha. I didn't take that much time to experiment with other possibilities I just threw that in there and thought it sounded very good! Thanks for the tips I will try them out and make a different version if I can find the time.

Thanks for the review :D!!

[MS - Your World On Shrooms]

:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :(

doooood. Make a new version because this is amazing!

have it so that 0:32 goes into an amazing dnb beat with the instruments with it, but the classic "kick snare kick kick snare". Because not only would that go to the top of the lists, it would actually sound really professional.

(the reason why i say to make a new one, is because maybe you wanted this one to sound like this).

but im serious you should do that. and if you do i will download it and play it in my car like instantly lol. do it!

Malefactor responds:

Haha, thanks for the review again :D!

That sounds like a good idea to me too, I wasn't really sure what i was doing i was just throwing in crazy beats and shit :D
I'll look into updating this one as well!

Thanks again!

[Brando - Pure & Tainted]

it sounds interesting

personally i think there should be more volume/velocity differences in the piano. Add some crescendos and stronger notes to give it more definition, at least a little. In my opinion anyway :P

Also, I think this is classical because of the strings that come in the second half and the intro. But it is pretty upbeat for classical.

Pretty good though!

Dj-Brand0 responds:

Yeah I suppose it is pretty upbeat, I mean the only classical I would really listen to and the closest I probably have had a deep listen into is hardstyle piano solos, and that was my inspiration for this.

I suppose giving the notes some definition would make it sound much better. I did something along the lines of that but what I did wasn't as detailed as what I'm thinking about doing now. I guess I could do that, but I'm pretty happy with what's here at the moment. I'll see what happens when I get to the hardstyle version.

I'm glad you liked it man. :D

I'm liking these range of style choices. It's getting me experimenting heaps, which I've pretty much always been doing.

Thanks for the review.

-Cheers Brando

[/SN/ Into the Light (Hard Mix)]

pretty interesting

heavy in the beggining, i like strong melodies :D pretty good

could you check out my most recent?

SessileNomad responds:

yeah ill check your recent stuff

thx for review

[Furious Baco - Daylight 2.0]

pretty good

If you were going for ambient trance more, this is pretty good. I was hoping it would bust into an amazing powerful chorus, but if you werent going for that, this is good as a smoother song.

Its pretty cool for background music.

DJRouch responds:

Thanks, I agree it's missing some punch to it in the main part.
I'll work on that. :)

[DXM - Take This Out!]

wtf is this? lol

its not bad actually, just very different. very unique. but thats whats interesting about it. the important thing is that it flows really nicely and is interesting.

pretty random ;)

tijnn responds:

It's defo different, but if you add random to D&B, i guess that does make breakcore.

You should listen to some venetian snares if you think THIS is random. ; )
Thanks for the review though.

[Forgotten Winter [ Trance ]]

sounds nice

this sounds pretty good. a little slower paced. I just think the melody could change like the main instrument's modulation or sound to make it more interesting.

i like the piano intro back into the song, but i think there is a note that could be fixed on it :P i like 2:20's melody, but i didnt like the fadeout of it(though its not tooo bad).

Its pretty good, but i think it could be better ;)

ViceOfFire responds:

Thanks dude, I appreciate it. Mind telling me where the wrong note comes in?
