[C3NTAURI0N - Glide]

Luvabl

This track is actually really good. I like how it builds up through the song, how you added more and more, good for that sake that there are different melodies and beats in it through the time. Quite a problem for me.

I loved the different synths, they sound really good to each other, and make a neat final impresison of the track.

The main lead seems a bit sick though, it should have been a lot cleaner and much more blend-in.

The pad was good, made the end good, a little bit monotone for me though, it could use some more delay and reverb, which would have done it a lot better!

This is a good track, but remember to make all the synths and instruments sound good for itself and not just to each other.

C3NTAURI0N responds:

Thabks for the feedback and the tips. Glad you enjoyed it!

[There will be blood!]

swhooooooooooooooooo...

Alright, I hardly ever check out or review heavy metal tunes, so I may turn out not knowing what the hell I'm talking about... but blargh that.

This is a great track though! Loved the guitar, really nice solos, but the other parts of it was also damn great.

The drums seem a bit... strange, they doesn't always fit what's played by the other stuff, but when they do it sounds really col.

Eh... yup, that is generally all I can really say about the song.... so I guess I need to know a bit more about this stuff :P

I give you a full ten for it either way 'cuz I'm too lazy to think about what the scores should really be,

DarKsidE555 responds:

blablabla. >: (

I'm currently to lazy to write something so I'm just thanking you for the review. lol.

Thanks for the review man! ;)

[.inside.]

Yes it's really cool!

This is some damn great ambient. Gives me a creepy feeling.

The start, which immeadately reminded me of Bit Bandit, is one really great building block for the track. It inspired me to make some new tracks myself.

And the ambient fx was really cool, added a lot of feeling into the track, made it sound like a man laughing.

Tha part afterward, the calm one with some rhode-ike thing, was what made the track. A really good ambient sinence melody, easy to build on.

The drums were good, though I could like to see a bit more of them in the track, since they rarely make any appearance.

And then there is a cave/exploration like part which has an awesome melody, followed by the usual eat machine that goes on.

This is a really nice ambient track man. It's a downlod and a full ten.

VegetarianMeat responds:

Cool, I inspired somebody :P

I agree with you on the drum part now that you mention it, there could've been some more percussion going on throughout the song.

Anyway, thanks for the review :)

[The Odyssey :: Karco Mix]

Yeah, keep it up but...

Man, ou don't have to have that video game sound in EVERY time you make a song... this time it didn't fit in at all... at least not with this DnB kind of song...

and yes, you keep improving. This song is a really good one, but I don't see why it has to be so damn fast... It would do much better as a slow trance song than a DnB song.

And you gotta use a compressor too... it's clipping and peaking ALL the time, you never really mastered it at all.

Keep improving and making songs.

Karco responds:

Huh. I had it again? Maybe it's the 3x0sc synths I use... gah. I really don't have anything else, though I'm trying to get something. =)

This is cool, it has a nice beat, which could be kept for further use, but you can't save stuff... are you using the demo version? If it's downloaded it is.

The synths are cool and original, and played well, I just wish you had worked on them farther.

Needs a lot more work when it comes to a musical point, as it is mainly a sawtooth and a lot of other synths only making special small sounds and melodies, where none have any musical sense in it except forr rhytm, you should try having a lot of melody in your tracks.

[Project -Aster-]

Yes, there is

this is another style, I like the way youy alternate between styles since the same style might be boring after a while.

I loved the beats in this, they are simple, and there is no need to keep them intenser or beat them up in this, they are perfect.

And I see ANOTHER sawtooth as a main synth... I am soon gonna get CRAZEH again.

Originality plz >:(

But really, the synths oter than that are outstanding, I can see how you cheated using preset rythmic synths though. They sound good either way.

You keep getting better, continue like this.

Karco responds:

Gah, sorry I took a while to respond. I don't usually take that long.

I don't like to do too many songs of one style after each other, so yeah, usually I find myself going for a different style each time.

Good to hear you think I'm getting better. I try. =P

Yeah, I put chose an overused-sounding main synth. I try to be original, but it just seemed to fit more than anything I could find, or make with my limited knowledge of 3x0sc synths. =P

So thanks again for reviewing. You help every time. =)

[Dark Storms at Sea]

Holy fuck

This is some mighty improvements here... I relistened to your first track, and I can't believe you've improved this much. this is JUST the kind of music I like...

The feeling of the song is just like being at a stormy sea, and the wind is also giving a great feeling. I didn't feel that good about the laser shot fx'es you then mixed in, they didn't add any good feeling, they more of made it bland.

I love the melodies you have, they truly mix well into the song.

But, you may want some more diverseed drums, and the temp-upping afterwards sure wasn't especially proffesional and made it sound more bland than anything else, you shouldn't do it in steps, you should really not do it in all.

But what I liked about htis is that it has such a good aura, it gives a warm feeling inside, and that trtuly is what makes a song good.

Keep it up like this and you'll get really great one day.
Feel free to send more PM's if you make another step forward.

Karco responds:

Thanks for the review! You know, this is one of those songs I keep working on even after I finish it - I already have ideas for a sequel or remake, though I doubt I'll make one for a while. Hah. The criticism should really help too in making my next song - I hope to submit it soon.

Just a question - what do you use to make your songs? Because if you use FL like I do, maybe you could show me how to do some of the fancier stuff on there sometime if you don't mind. :) Thanks again for the review.

[Why Birds Sleep Well (Part 5)]

Ohh creepy

The mix was possibly one of the weirdest I've heard.... jungle beats... AND video game synths! That's seriously some sick mix!

And it does continue like usual, there was not much special difference from the other song, and I find the last part to be seriously long as hell and therefore a bit boring, it just slows down between endles amounts of time.

I don't know why this happened, but it was not that well mixed in, I could like to see a bit more difference there, but it definatively does give a nice flavour into it, a windy one too.

Good sng, but just a little bit too monotone.

Gillenium responds:

The last part was a trip through subtleness. Each measure is a little different, which is an idea I learned through Aphex Twin's Selected Ambient Works Vol. 2. It's not for everybody I suppose. Takes a lot of patience. Thanks for the review though, SBB. Glad you enjoyed the first part :D

[Stranded In The Abyss]

Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Damn your songs are all so great so I have no other choice than reviewing this too.

Why couldn't it be finished? It would rock so much. It's not really that short, it's really good for what it is too. The synths and instruments are all so damn great, and the main synth really is one of the best I may have heard.

The melodies are also really good.

but why did you submit it to Ambient? This is more of trance or someething like that.

Blargh whatever, great song man!

Stealth-Emergence responds:

w00t SBB reviewed my song, I can't finish this because windows crashed and started having a fit when I was making this. It made the file I was working from unusable :( So I can't continue with this one

Thanks man!

Peace Out!
