[{Beat 02} Crusin!!!!!!!!]

Really good intro

I like how this starts up. The drums though, need a little bit more oomph IMO, but it's not a huge deal. That Voice Vocoder thing needs work though as it kinda is a rough blend with the rest of the instruments. It's probably because it's lacking enough frequencies to sound good. Change at about 1:50 was kinda sudden and you may want to gradually get to that change rather than all of a sudden.

Also, the constantly repeating bell/piano thing was kinda annoying and you may want to change it up some so it doesn't really start to pierce into one's ears.

Nice work on what you have though, I just feel it needs more work to help get things more solid.

THEICONICICON responds:

thanks im not really good at making beats i just have one banger with a beat and its my track called jealous...hahaha so any bit of work can help
thanks

[Open Skies]

Pretty nice but the drums...

The song is nice, but the drums are rather rough with that rhythm and it could use some change to clean it up. The rest is pretty nice, though a little too quiet at parts like at 1 min in. May want to work on this one some more.

Good work though.

smilingpig67 responds:

Thanks, but I kinda like how the drums are... xD

[Surface To Air Mishle]

Cool.

Yeah, it's rather grainy and could probably use a little cleaning up. Also a few parts seem rather rough on the panning when they play just in one speaker at about 50 seconds.

This song is rather short as well as repetitive. I personally would rather have heard a more prominent melody as this is mostly harmonic.

Good stuff though.

kiyurasuki responds:

ACtually if you listen to the song with headphones you will hear an explosion noise, apart from all that the sound is not very good because I was having some technical difficulties trying to bring down the decibles to an acceptable level. All in all thank you very much fo rthe imput, I will work harder to make songs in the long wrong much better and thank you for the imput.

Interesting mixture here

Really interesting mixture of orchestral and hip hop. Really cool drums, I like how they feel along with the orchestral instruments. Song felt repetitive at parts though, and could probably use something that's not heard at other parts every now and then to keep things interesting.

Good work.

T-Free responds:

Thank you, Trash-Man-1! I'm glad you enjoyed it!^^

[<EagleGuard> Jib Jig!]

It's good, but could use some work

First off, I'm probably going to have to state that I'm not a fan of remixes, so I'm much harsher when it comes to those as a result, so I apologize in advance. At least you give proper credit to the original artist unlike most remixers I've come across, so that's a plus.

First off, the drums.. The rhythm change in the later part of your song at 1:20 just doesn't fit at all, and you should probably just keep it similar to the beginning. Not only that, but for some reason the toms just don't flow too well in your song. To be honest, they didn't flow very well in the original either, but it didn't matter for some reason.

Second, the ending, you may want to change it cuz its just one long suspended note and it kinda just comes at ya unexpected because the melody wants to go up, yet it drops way down and sustains when the melody never held for that long. Even if you just shortened this note to the same length as the others, it would still sound much better, but only if that was the very last thing we heard.

I suppose the main plus is what you did with the melody when you changed it after the main part. It was pretty nice. I feel though, for this to be a more true remix, you would have to mask the main melody somehow by not keeping it the same as the original. In my opinion, a good remix makes it not a direct copy of any part of the song, or waits until much later to throw in the direct copied parts, or even does stuff like make the melody become the bassline.

Good work on the song, I just feel if you polished it up some and tightened things up, it has the promise of being a truly great remix. I don't usually review remixes, and by now you can probably see why.

EagleGuard responds:

Hmm, the drum change at 1:20 could use some work, you're right. I kept the toms, because they're a very important part of the song.

I added the suspended note in the end, to make sure the final part wouldn't end too sudden. I'll think about it the next time I write a song.

You're right, it's not a real "remix", more of a spiritual remake. I know this isn't really a remix, so that's why I said in the description that this is a "redone version" of the song.

Thanks for taking your time to write the review ;) I appreciate good criticism much more than a 10 with a one-line review.

[[Keep Trying]]

Pretty nice.

Really nice sound to the song. I kinda wish there was more going on, but I understand that it's just a piano kinda thing, so I won't hold that against you.

Maybe bring the drums in sooner or something, because they seem out of place when they finally come in, just to drop out again later.

TheBoredBoy responds:

It's piano and flute, but I understand what you mean.
As for the drums, I see what you mean, I probably will fix this up when I find the .flp, and probably drag the drums in earlier, and give them a better fade.
But anyways, thanks for the review!
:)

[Metamorphesis]

Really great sounds

I love it when people get creative with sounds like this. It sounds like some sorta electronic elephant. This would be great music for some sorta torture dungeon or whatever.

Really great work on the sound effects.

samthejokerman responds:

thanks!!! cool idea about the torture dungeon! never heard that before ;) elephant's cool too ^-^

[{Heim} Mystic Night]

Very cool introduction

Yeah, that intro is just so nice. I really like how soft this song is. Very nice when everything else comes in at 40 seconds. Really great use of instruments. Drums are just so great, and that flute is just perfect. Makes me think of a medieval time full of dragons and castles and stuff and maybe even some leprechauns (don't ask why, but the way the flute flows just makes me think of them).

Very good work.

JeffHeim responds:

Thanks! I know what you mean by the flute sounding like leprechaun music, although that isn't quite what I had in mind when writing this piece lol. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[<TeK> Melody 24]

Really good production

Don't really have much to say other than it's quite a nice production you got going. I kinda wish the song went more places, but that is probably asking too much when it's a trance song...

Great work.

TeKNeTiC responds:

Thanks for the review!

<TeK>

[AF+T888 - Lightspeed (DM Edit)]

Solid

It's really good production. I like how fluid it is and how well it flows.

You may want to fix the drums because I just realized they are actually there, but can hardly hear the bass percussion.

Great work though.

aliaspharow responds:

Yeah i know about the drums! I could make it a bit louder and it would sound better, but it still remains in the style of the song.
