[Feels Like Meh (NG Cut)]

this song can be perfect

It would be actually if you'd have a singing woman/girl that would sing a couple of sentences with a lot of breathing XD. Then I'd say you EQ the girl with a lot of high frequencies so that all the s- and f-voices sound very clear. Then add a lot of slow delay (like 8 16th notes) and a lot of reverb and add this at 3:02 (because it sounds a bit empty there) and maybe somewhere at the end.

Still marvellous song you've got here :) I"m actually a bit jealous how you get those nice stabby chords in reason, I tried but failed... You created it by yourself, edited a preset or downloaded a pack or used a preset of reason?

5/5, 10/10, favourite and download

BrokenCrossfader responds:

Ha I would add singing if i actually had a good singer, which I don't at the moment.

Also, all of the instrument patches were created from scratch (I don't like using presets, it takes away the fun of actually making a song). It took a lot of experimenting and tweeking to get the sounds just right (Thanks to the mighty THOR).

Glad you enjoyed the track!

[Kw- No Where To Run]

nice

Good work. I love the pads! Great structure and nice percussion. The kick needs some work though... I think it's too dirty for this kind of electronica. You could also use some sidechain or sequence the level of the pad to make it a bit more dancy at the part where there are drums. (not necessary, it's just a thing that I'd do)

Overal great job, 5/5, 9/10, it's slightly on the repetitive side.

nightsurfermusic responds:

Hmm, i think i'll try some side chaining. Thanks man!

[Gobbles]

very nice

Very nice guitar skills. Maybe you could make the sound of the guitar a bit fuller (ad some mid tones (equalizing))

Other than that, awesome!

5/5, 9/10

Spykles responds:

Hey, thanks alot. Guitar sound with line-in is not something I've perfected and will definately consider the mid-range more in future.

Thanks again :)

[Lilium arr. Piano and Cello]

sorry I forgot to review so here is a review

You've used a MIDI piano, not really nice sound... But you arranged it well! I like the original song and this one is also nice. I give you -2 because it sounds mechanical and second because the piano sounds ugly...

Other than that, good job, 4/5, 8/10

thanks

[VOID-Taste for Piano and]

lovely rhodes?

I love the electric piano you've added in there. Tell me what software do you use? May I guess "reason" ? I'm not sure though... Really nice drums you've got there and I loved it in boxmen. It added a really nice atmosphere. You played this yourself? Then you're pretty good XD And if you're using reason 4, maybe a collab would work out with us :) (check my music if you want ;))

Overall: you get the full pocket of me; 5/5, 10/10, download, favourite.

collabs?
collabs?
Dude i have to look into this hardcore now.
Like hardcore look into this!
Thanks for the review!

[the other world(wip)]

lovely drums

great drums but the bass is barely hearable and the pad/synth that drops in at 1:28 is a bit too loud.

Great work though, 5/5, 9/10

thanks man

[Darkness Dwells]

at the beginning I thought: DOWNLOAD

but the song didn't really progress to anything and I didn't really like some parts.

The good:
Nice bells and synths, violins and clarinet(?).

Advice:
I'd put some (more) reverb on the pluck at 1:03. The piano is strange and I don't really like it, it also misses expression (adjust veolicity) and most of the notes sound a bit off. the phasing instrument what comes between the pluck is not really my taste also. I think it's the melody it's playing. Also the lenght is a bit useless because it sounds like you've copied the first 2,5 minutes and then paste them after that. And the ending is a bit lazy, a fade out.

overall: this'd really work in a flash game. Not the best piece I've heard, but it has potentional.

5/5, 8/10

Taketheleap responds:

Very in depth, Thanks a lot. Yeah there were a couple of sounds I was unsure of, but i think in this track that's kinda what I liked, almost like it sounded warped to me.

goood work

I'm not going to talk about the emotional part of this song but more of the technical part.

Song is not too slow, but the piano is very static. (especially in the beginning and in the bass notes). I like the reverb of it though and the pads are pretty nice. You really could make a trance mix of this if you want XD. Look out that some notes don't collapse (in the pads) try to minimize the sustain on those notes (but if that was on purpose ignore this). The ending is also a bit strange, but really bad...

Overall, really emotional song, good work with the piano and pads, also a drumbeat could fit in it

5/5, 9/10,

Mjattie

KroweMusic responds:

Hmm...yeah I might make this into a trance mix. Thanks for the idea!

[.|Song For The Lonely Heart|.]

I love the ocean sound

The story this song tells goes to the bottom of the see and back to land. (or something. Really the melodies are just awesome! I only think that the start is a bit too slow.

Nice, but would maybe be better if you'd played it yourself (I know you can't because you don't have a (midi)keyboard) but that would make it a bit less "spastic at points.

Maybe a tip: at 3:18, the piano does not play a real melody. Maybe you could give the quarter notes an accent, to make it easier to listen to (but that's my opinion)

Overall, a wonderful job, you're growing song by song, I'm amazed but you could try a bit with my advice if you want.

5/5, 10/10

ObsidianSnow responds:

Thanks for the review, bud.

nice bass

The hi-hats are a bit sharp, but it's a really nice song! I love the synths you've used and the melodies are actually pretty original. Great vocals too!

man this is nice: you get the full pocket: 5/5, 10/10 download and favourite :)

Thanks! I'm glad you like it! ^_^
