[Kw- Sky Like Spring]

good work

I like your melodies and your synths are also pretty good. But the reason why I give you a 8 out of 10 is because the drums are in my opinion just ruining your song. I'm sorry to say, but they sound very cheap (the drumrolls are OK though) but the strange breakbeat and quite standard FL samples make it sound cheap. I hate the kick you used the most of all haha

Sorry for the 8, but with better drums it would definitely be a 10/10. You've got a 5/5 from me though ;)

Yeah, the drums weren't standard FL, but yeah, i agree in some parts they could be better.

[Blue Dance]

w00t

nice drums you got in there! it has quite repetitive melodies though... But they're quite catchy. Maybe you could've added another melody to it, or a piano breakdown or euehm, more synths that are a bit less full if you know what I mean. It's all a bit plain now.

But overall is still awesome and I could definitely dance on this! Tell me, are the hi-hats a loop or is it all self sampled at 00:27, because I want to get that kind of drum sound in my songs :O...

5/5, 9/10

syphonmax responds:

lols XD

Nope they ain't I found them somewhere

And thanks and sorry for the repetitiveness I can fix that soon ^_^

[-Sewer Jam-]

lol

It's like the bumble bee song or something ;) I love it. Maybe a bit spastic piano at some parts but my overall opinion is very positive. I love it.

5/5, 10/10

ObsidianSnow responds:

lol you're right, it really does sound like the Flight of the Bumblebee, now that you mention it... XP
Glad you like it.

Thx for the review!

I don't know the real song (sorry), but this version sounds awesome. Quite good but it sounds a bit like something is missing.

I looked up the original version, and I have to say: I like this version a lot more! But I don't really like the artist so... This version is much fuller and it has better synths. Though it's quite repetitve, so I give you 9/10 for that and the (little) emptyness.

5/5, 9/10

Airprogressive responds:

Thanks Mjattie!!

What you may miss here are the lyrics. I couldn't found the lyrics acappella, (really iIdidn't really serch them at all XD)

They are very important in the original song, and I reproduced the main melody just like the original, but without lyrics is understandable that someone can find it a bit repetitive (I also find repetitive both, my version and the original one XD)

Thanks again 4 your comment & ratings!

I love the bass XD, but the pads sound a bit strange at some places...
LOL, the melody, now it sounds very familiar. Good remix though. Maybe you could've changed the chord progression in the pads. The original chord progression is better I think. Quite good work with the synths I guess, but again the pads sound in the end also a bit strange.

5/5, 9/10: Work on your chords, rest --> good work :P

5/5, 10/10

Mich responds:

The original chordprogression... which is no progression at all... :p
I actually think that chordprogression sounded nice under the melody, but that may just be me :)

Thanks for the review!

[_-={From Darkness, Rise 2}=-_]

yes, I enjoy the track!!

I didn't listen to the first version I think, but this version is indeed awesome! The bass drums sound a bit weird at some points, but overall it's really nice. Very dramatic. Good job. Overall sound is very real!

5/5, 10/10, a download and a favourite

Mjattie

MaestroRage responds:

The first one and this one are the same for the first minute give or take, the differences stem from there. I am glad you enjoyed it, thank you for the review!

[Tranced Planet]

yes!

The drums right away took my attention. They are awesome! You've put a lot of work in the effects I think. About Ethalyn's review, I DO like the synths with their melodies, I think they're quite catchy! Very nice trance. Overall sound is very professional. Great for clubs :)

5/5, 10/10 and a fav and download man! I love it

Mjattie

Airprogressive responds:

thanks 4 your awesome review & ratings Mjattie!!!

Yeah, I worked a lot with the effects and the overall sound

I'm really glad you liked it!!

thanks again!

:)

[Mac9 - Love's Inclination]

well, now we know who wins

Awesome piano man, sounds very lovely and the strings and all sound again very, very real! I love the drum rolls. Man the melodies are just awesome and it fits perfect to the theme. Yea I can imagine a roller coaster in this song XD I don't know what to say, it's the best love song I heard in a very long time!

5/5, 10/10, fav, download

Gr Mjattie

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the review Mjattie!

I dunno about winning though; there's a handful of really good entries this time around. I think that I might be able to pick out the top 5 and that's sure to be a sappy set of songs haha but they're really awesome in my opinion. I mean your songs alone are pretty ridiculous, then we got Sor and Currie, who both have incredible submissions as well.

I dunno, I feel sorry for the judges haha. They're going to not wanna hear about Valentine's Day after having to listen to every entry.

I'm glad you got the rollercoaster feel from this, it's definitely what I was trying to go for. I really appreciate all the comments!

Thanks again!

[- The Raid -]

EPIC

I must warn you, I cannot write those awesome reviews you do, simply because of the fact I'm not English, so words don't come up very fast... I am going to try writing a decent review though...

The intro is awesome. Very mysterious and very dramatic. I like the mix of the brass with the electronic beat. It has a kinda slow tempo compared to a lot of trailer songs. Maybe putting giving it a bit higher tempo would make it even more dramatic? I don't know.

I really like the piano too; it's not very present but it's just loud enough for a nice touch to the ambience of this song. It reminds me a bit of Memoirs of a hero - Evil-dog.

THE STIRNGS ARE AWESOME!! But I guess I can expect that from you, since you're very specified in making great classical songs that almost sound human played.
Make it a bit longer and I'll download it. I think that's the only flaw this song has. It's just sooooooo short. XD

Overall very good job: good strings, percussion, piano and effects, if you make a longer version, please pm me XD

5/5, 10/10

Mjattie

SinJim responds:

Thanks for the review Mjattie!

Hmmm, I'll see what happens if I speed up the intro tempo, it might add some more drama to the piece. I'll also have to check out Evil Dog's song you referenced. I remember most of his pieces being pretty sweet.

Thanks for the comment on the strings, I guess it kind justifies purchasing EastWest software. About the length - I spent a real long time on this one already. If I can I'll dedicate myself to making this longer, but at the moment, I don't have enough time to do so.

Thanks again for the review! Hopefully I can warrant another review like this with my upcoming MAC09 submission, we'll see though.

[-'+ Secret Melody +'-]

Lol, nice birds you've got there

Nice song man! Quite good drumfills, though, I don't really like them in this song. Great synths!!!! I love the one at 0:18. Btw, I don't know the original song, so I don't really can compare them, but I guess you did a pretty good job. The piano is just awesomemememememe!!

It has a great diversity. Man, I love it. Superjob!

I don't have anything else to say. 5/5, 10/10 favorite and download.

Gr Mjattie

Krussi responds:

Thanks ;D glad you liked it :P yeah, I got 1 drumfill sample, which is used twice. The synth at 00:18 is a Hands Up synth.
The piano melody and the whistle melody are almost the same, just some minor differences.

I (Heart) Pianos :D

Thanks alot for the review, the full score, the fav and the download, and ofc thanks for your support :D

Cheers ^^
