[<LE>Another Mourning(Eq'd)]

((VOTED5))

Something about this song was very relaxing and soothing. My personal favorite part of the song was the drum beat. It's volume was loud compared to the synth and I think that was the reason for the song being so soothing (at least in my oppinion) The keys were also great, the melody was intricate without bringing all of the attention to it. Everything just flowed seamlessly and this is definantly a song you should be proud of. I have no suggestions to give. Good job.

LiquidEcstacy responds:

Thanks a lot =)
I really appreciate it =)

I really liked this song. You did an incredibly good job of making it diverse throughout the song by adding new drum and synth tracks as the song went on. That made it very fun to listen to for the full 3 minutes. Unlike most people who try to do what you did here, which would be overlapping a lot of tracks on top of eachother, it did not sound at all chaotic or cluttered which is not an easy thing to do.

The one problem I did have with the song was that at some parts the transitions the song made did not flow very well. Take 1:02 for example, that synth track was incredibly quiet compared to the rest of the song and at the volume I was listening to sounded like a 10 second long blank space which is definantly not something you want in a song.

Other then that the song was perfect and definantly worthy of my 5. Good job.

FunkmasterCatking responds:

Thanks! I'm surprised, usually my biggest problem is cluttered-ness.

This song just seamed pretty empty. All it was were those chime like percussions, a few drum beats throughout the song (not enough) and that anoying buzzing sound. Consider this, instead of living with the buzz and basing your song around that buzz you could get rid of it because it's anoying and offers pretty much nothing to the song. Replace it with some synth tracks, you don't need to make it anything fancy. Just something to fill the emptiness that this song seamed to have.

The drums really wern't that bad so you could probably keep those for a future song. Adding synth is a must for this song to be good though. Looping the song would also make it a lot better considering how short it was.

Pickle-Juice537 responds:

I appreciate your review, but it was intentionally minimalistic. I understand about the buzz, but I though it sounded purdy.
Also, you should probably turn the speakers up a little bit, because the drums are supposed to be more audible, but the song came out really quiet.
And I just fixed the loop problem, but it stays silent at the end for too long a time for the loop effect to work, and there's nothing I can do.
Also, I'm considering expanding on this song, if I find the time.

The guitar playing was really great and so was the bass but something just seamed not right here. It sounded like two different songs put together if you ask me. First part being guitar and second being bass. The guitar really made a great intro so defiantly save it for a future, full length song

If the bass was supposed to be an outro, then you probably started to early for a song as short as this. Also you won't want to end the guitar as ubruptly as you did and just go right into the bass play. The transition sounded pretty sloppy if you ask me. Also you'll want to do something about that blank space at the end.

All in all, there was definantly a lot of skill in this song. It was just presented in not the best way you could. Just try to add more to the middle and try to spice up the outro a bit because it didn't sound to good the way it was now.

Jesus-Owns-X responds:

Ya i thought about that.

It did seem to just switch abruptly and the ending was lame.

Im just getting started in music and stuff and this wasn't that good i admit.

But i thank you for your input my good sir.

It was a pretty well made song. It's just that the entire first half seamed like an intro. I don't know if you wanted it to be that way or if it just happened but you have to do something with the first 2 minutes of this song for this track to be up to its full potential. Just try to get that 2 minutes down to about 30 seconds and it will be great because everything after that first half is perfect.

mattuiop responds:

thanks!
hay i though we were portal buddies and then you deleted me on your list!

but anyway, thank u 4 da reveiw!

It was pretty good. I really liked the synth in this song, it was fast paced and fun to listen to. It was slightly repetitive at the beginning which may be something you should edit, just taking out some of the unnececary spaces between the different sections of the song towards the begginning. Remember the first reaction is the most important one ^_^. The vocals were also a very nice addition to an already very good song, even if it was just you saying blue eyes a couple times throughout the song, I thought it made a big impact on the song as a whole.

Anyways great song here. Maybe you should try ressurecting a few other "scraped projects" because if this will be the outcome every time then it would definantly be worth it.

Stargame responds:

I've got another "Tiesto inspired" one that I abandoned... I've been thinking about remaking that one for awhile. It all depends on whether or not I feel like fixing it, but I might see what I can do with it.... Anyway, thanks for the in-depth review!

[Swimming Through Dreams]

((VOTED5))

It was a pretty basic track, but it was still very enjoyable. It had a nice creepy sound to it which is always good in a trance song. What I loved about this track though, was the percussions. I don't know if they were premade but none the less they sounded awsome and really blended in with the music very smoothly. I could definantly imagine this song in the background for a game, it just has that sort of vibe to it if you know what i mean :P

Also just to point out, swimming is spelled with 2 M's.

Anyways great song, you should try making more trance song because judging from this, you definantly have a nack for it.

K1LL3R-9 responds:

Thanks for pointing out the spelling error. The percussions were premade, but i've just acquired a drumset so I might be able to create my own lines soon. and thanks for the review!

It really wasn't that bad, but you just edited it in a very bad way. The kicks were far to loud, they are something you would want in the background just keeping a beat and not trying to stand out. The bass also should have been much louder consider you had no synth to really back up the track. Don't let kicks take priority over the bass if you don't have any synth because that makes for a very boring and repetitive song.

I would just recomend keeping this track handy, and editing in some synth because you have a great background tune here. Just on it's own it is a pretty useless track.

Ch3ck3rB0ard responds:

thanks for the advice i will definitly edit it thanks for listening!

I thought it was great. The percussions kept a nice beat and the synth flowed very niceley but what made this song good and original wa that awsome bass line. You don't hear much stuff like that on this site and I found it to really make this song 10/10 worthy. There is almost no more funk songs coming into the audio portal anymore so in many ways this audio really spiced things up for me. Anyways great song, I hope to see more stuff like this in the future.

ShadowComposer responds:

Thanks for your Review, I really needed it.
I havnt been on the ball lately, I dont get ideas anymore.
Thank you again.
