"Good tune, average quality"

submission: Your Eyes (Original Mix)

date: July 2, 2008

This is certainly a tune worth of its attention. Very broad and exploring. I especially liked the piano part.

Though, I think it's a bit of a shame that you set the bitrate so low.

And while I listened to this, I constantly imagined another high-pitched synth entering with some sweet melodies. I feel that there's this tiny gap still in this song. (10 minutes is a long song to fill up, after all)

Lovely tune though!
Cheers!

"What's to it?"

submission: Kr1z - "Boten Anna" [Cover]

date: May 22, 2008

Good tune, but let's face it. If I read your comments, I feel like your own input into this tune was kind of neglectable. You just copied a good tune & changed it a bit. Though in its genre (which isn't miscellanious), it's a fairly good tune. Job well done.

4/5
8/10

"Done before"

submission: Canon Rock!

date: April 4, 2008

I would be very pleased with this, for only if it were original. I have heared a lot of other rock-cover version of PaCHabel's canon and, to be honest, this certainly isn't the best.

The fact why I don't really admire the song that much is because you basically can't go wrong with classic music if you know the basic rules. The song wasn't to daring at that point, too. The part I was most pleased with was 3:15 - 3:35. If that had been in a more changing rythm, that passage would have really stood out for me.

One final question: did you use recorded guitar or did you render this through a virtual one?

Cheers,

submission: ==(Melting Snow)==

Excellent intro pad, but when the piano began to play, I found it a bit to "casual", if you know what I mean. It sounded a bit out of place in an ambient song :/

Drums were good, coolios done. High synth was sounding blastingly well, giving the song a special touch.

High piano entering was a bit subtle and I liked it!. Waah, nice wind pad and stringy/synthy intermission, though I expected you to be somehow working to more of a climax (but that's not really ambient-ish I guess).

More kick drums in the ending of the song - kinda liked em. Only wished they would be more (= longer) in the tune.

Outro was smooth.

There ya go! One louzy review from someone that doesn't know anything about ambient : 3. Thought I'd repay you the favor, as you reviewed some of my stuff when I asked you about it (which was like half a year ago lol). I like your style and your original intake on the ambient genre.

I call on your spleen!

"Not really coherent"

submission: //*Great Day*\\ WF1/T Collab

date: February 20, 2008

The strings and buzz/whatever thingy were not coherent. I liked the strings as an instrument though, the base riff just seemed a bit random when it was playing with the strings. Guess it just en't my style. I just think the base riff is too dominant and basically bad :(

Though the strings and bells were nice instrument

"I'm with SBB on this"

submission: (WF1) On Angels Hair

date: February 20, 2008

Sounds didn't sound natural. Mainly for the guitar ones, they seem a bit "default". As if there's like a preset in FL for it. The strings/synth was a tad too simple for my liking too, thogh the bell/synth was more interesting

Overall, the tune was a bit too predictable. Each piece that came over the basic acoustic guitar was just as long as the previous ones. I could tell when there would be changes and that takes away the mystery/surprise in a tune. Also, wouldn't go for the clap thingy in a tune like this, snare is more interesting and its sound is closer to the genre of your song.Though the tune itself is not that bad as I make it seem, it's melodic beauty just fully doesn't come to it's right, in my opinion that is.

If I could give ones suggestion, I would say that I'd like it if the piano solo were faster. In that way it can both function as a break and a solo, due to it's shortness.

Cheers,
Hadriani

"Sounded nice, but not real"

submission: Dj Guitar

date: February 1, 2008

You did your best composing this song, I can say that. The only downside in this song is that the guitar you use doesn't really sound anything like a real acoustic guitar should sound. The lower tones are way to metallic. But I guess there's not much you can do about that.

About the organ coming in. No offense, but that really didn't fit the guitar part. I think the instruments you should use would have to be two guitars (having one stroke chords or playing arpeggio's) and a bass. The percussion should have more of a "kick" attitude, if you know what I'm saying.

The tones you produces were good, but the way you formed it wasn't really too wonderful.

I hope you don't see this as an insult, but rather as a series of tips you can use.
Cheers!

"Basic classicalytiness"

submission: Dj Mixed

date: January 18, 2008

Classical music has a certain thing to it. It's hard to ruin once you know how to compose classical music. Overall classical keeps you safe. I can fairly say that this tune was safe and not daring. Though good music doesn't have to be daring. Most music is good by just rocking at the basics.

I do, however, believe that you can polish up the use of your techniques. I often heared the backstrings/synth fall rather abruptly and leave the piano "alone". Having only one instrument playing is rather dangerous. Whenever you do that, you must have a good reason to it (like an ass-kicking solo or something). Even though piano can sound very good on itself, I think that it didn't really "fit" into this song too well. Adding to that, I noticed that the piano volume was a bit dodgy. You might want to hook that up to a EQ (and maybe a reverb?). Also, the bass notes on the piano didn't ring through too long, the function of the lower tones is to provide a steady base for the main melody. Just bits of suggestion there.

The percussion was not standard, but sounded good anyway. The "sticks" together made the whole thing a tad more lighthearted. I believe that those were a good contribution to your song.

Overall I liked the song. Not too special, but not bad either.

"How weird & short"

submission: Super Metroid : Mother Brain !

The pitch falling is a deffo no for me. Furthermore, the song sounds like what it's supposed to be: a video game song. Though I think it could be a bit faster and more energetic..

Peace
