[Meneldil - Piano chaos]

((VOTED 5))

Really nice song dude. Definantly some of the better piano only songs I have heard in a while. You were able to keep the tempo pretty high without getting things chaotic or just plain not good which is a hard thing to do. Im usually into the more complex songs when it comes to classical music but I really found myself enjoying this song. I hope to hear more songs from you in the future. Good job.

meneldil responds:

Big thanks!

Yeah, it's not too complex, but I wanted to do an experiment - with same chord over and over, same tempo etc. make smth, that's still diverse and good-sounding. Looks like melody really can change everything;)

[The Peggey Song (REMIX)]

((VOTED 5))

I thought the song was pretty good. The synth was slow yet didnt lose my interest which is hard to do in songs like this. The drums were pretty good too and kept a really nice beat.

The one problem I had with this song though was that every thing seamed really chaotic and out of place. Everything had a hard time flowing together smoothly. But I dont blame you because for one thing you were trying to get as close to as a song as possible without reading so much as a notesheet or getting any base music which is a hard thing to do. So good job with what you did here. I really enjooyed it.

LeekClock responds:

I was going for a chaotic amateurish feel with the first part (with the trumpets), or did you mean the second part? Thanks for the kind words

Well I havnt listened to much of those premade stuff on FL, and I know they are proned to be stolen and uploaded to the site, but on the outside this seamed to be pretty remixed and was given your own style so Im just giving you the benefit of the doubt on that.

I really liked the drums you were using here. They really flowed well with the synth you were using, which was also great. Cool how you were mixing things up throughout the song and changing the synth every now and then to keep it interesting. Really affected the song and I think made it better.

Anyways great job with this song. Like I said before I dont know how much you are responsible for but that really doesnt matter to me because I still enjoyed listening to this so I voted 5. Good job.

Logini responds:

Thanks! Well, the original song was a pop song, and had vocals.. The whole techno breakdown part from 2:09 to 3:23 I improvised. the drums were tweaked a little bit. the synths had some FX put on quietly in the background. the bassline was mixed up a lot (making notes longer and changing pitch) So i pretty much remixed it pretty well. If you want, i'll get the original one and pm it to you.

I thought it was a really good song. Thhe drum beat was incredibly cathy. Something I could bop my head to. The bass however was just awsome. That is what seperated this song from others. The synth was pretty good too but it didnt have the same coolness as the bass did.

For me though, this would have been the perfect drum n bass song if the quality was better. I know there was probably nothing you could do without really going deep trying to find something to reduce it since the filesize is already big but I just thought I would through that out there. Anyways it was still a great song. Good job.

NaL3s responds:

ya the quality isnt that great now that i hear it through openair speakers... uhmmm well the song isnt evn close to done (this was NG edit) so, when im doing the final mastering i will just change the master eq and it will all sound good(hopefully)
but until then... this song sounds pretty good on my skullcandy headphones lol.. so i gues try it out with some good cups!

btw... im getting rid of this name and starting a new alias (if anybody carez)

I thought this song was great. It had all the aspects of a good rock song. A good drum beat, great guitar melodys and a good backup guitar. The perfect song. However I would like to point out that the main guitar was a bit scrathy for the most part. But what really made me like this song was when you went into that fast paced solo part. It was a great was to wrap up the song. Anyways good job on this. I voted 5.

laggy-luk responds:

thanks :) I don't like the sound my guitar makes either but I've payed like 65$ for it so it ain't that bad for the price ;P

[Pure Extasy]

((VOTED 4))

This song really was had its good parts. I loved the synth, had a really good melody, its just that the snare you were using at certain parts was so loud and obnoxiouse it really brung down the whole song. And it wasnt even the fact that it was so loud I could barely hear the synth, but that it kept on doing th esame note over and over again which you could probably guess, got really repetitive.

But I know there was a great song behind that snare and I cant bring down the whole song because of one thing I didnt like some Im giving this a 4. Just dont do that again in your next song.

newskies responds:

ok, thx! I'll try to remember that for future tracks! thanx!

[Lift (Done)]

((VOTED 5))

I really thought this song was good. The way you were doing that whole same beat different soudns thing I thought was awsome. It really made the song diverse and kept me interested as I was listening. And that overused beat you were using, I thought was really catching. It had a nice tropical feal to it. Anyways great song. Good job.

SoulofDeath responds:

i actually didn't imagine a good review, i guess it was just my thinking bad of the song, which i shouldn't, i thought ppl would be annoyed by the same beat throughout, but anywho, thanks

[obstacle course]

((VOTED 5))

I really thought this song had a cool original sound to it. You seamed to have focused more on the drums then you did on the synth which is weird for a techno song but I thought it turned out really good. And of course the synth was also great and mixed very well with the drums. I could tell you trying to go for a 8bit video game style and you really captured that fealing well. Anyways it was a great song. Good job.

snayk responds:

Thanks a lot for the review and five!

:D

I wanted to have another go at 8-bit, because I feel like my past attempts were only decent.

With this song, I tried to get a kind of modern/8-bit hybrid, and I think I was somewhat successful.

There IS more emphasis on the drums, but that was intentional; the synth melodies are simple, just like the instruments themselves.

I'm glad you enjoyed it.

((VOTED 5))

That was a really great song. You had an awsome mix of great synth and a great drum beat. The perfect song. I also really liked the way you got everything going at a fast paced. That sort of set it apart from other techno song but other than that it was pretty much just another techno song. But that doesnt mean it wasnt good because pretty much everything exept for originality was awsome. Good job.

AphelionX responds:

im sorry but...your review doesent make sense. "The perfect song. I also really liked the way you got everything going at a fast paced. That sort of set it apart from other techno song but other than that it was pretty much just another techno song" contradicting review but its a review. Take care

[Acid Matrix]

((VOTED 5))

I really liked this song but it took soooooo long to get out of the intro. I hate it when authors make intros any longer than 15 seconds. But once I got into the middle part of the song, it got really good. I really liked the drum beat you had. It mixed really well with the synth. And the synth line was great too.

It all got kind of repetitive though. Once you got into the middle of the song it was the same drum beat along with the same synth chord over and over again. In your next song you should make more diverstiy throughout the song. Anyways it was still a pretty good song and I can tell you worked pretty hard on it so good job.

DJ-Izeales responds:

i quite like long intros o.0...=P, yer i'm gonna wait for more inspiration for my next song, i cant think of one atm
