[Slipping Away (Stealth)]

For some reason I really liked this.

I love it when flutes are played right, and if they are played like this, I really love it. The flutes in the start of this were played really good, it`s beyond words. The melody was maybe the best melody to a flute.

After the start, it goes out in a guitaric part, which beats up, in which spoiled some of the enjoyment of this. It didn`t really fit the flute, and could have been done when the flutes were ended.

From there on, it really doesn`t impress me much. The voices, seemingly randomly places, sounds more like beatboxes, and makes it more of a comical matter than doing it better.

The mix thereon was really weird, as the piano put in fits the flute, but the guitar didn`t.
You should slow down the guitar a bit, into the tact of the flute.
If you did so the whole song, and not the start only, it would`ve been MUCH better, as the off-tempo guitar seems like random climpring when the flute is the real matter.

Okay, the voices should have been slower too, and either reverbed or removed. what weird synth is playing these voices? It`s voices, but it sounds more like played on a keyboard, huh.

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Thanks for the feedback SBB

yeah well I've spent ages on this and I ended up with this as the result, I really wasn't sure what to do with it once I got it to this stage,

So i've thrown it out here, as I've stated a few times now ;) lol

But thanks to everyone's critique I know where I'm going wrong with this now, and so I will come back to this eventually and mae all the necessary changes

oh as for the voices, they were a soundfont I found, I had a few others which I was umming and erring about using in place of that one, maybe they should have been removed totally!

Well I will note all points made and will re-establish this track at some point

Thanks SBB

Peace Out!

[SR - Softened Gaze -Full-]

Well nice!

I liked it quite a lot. It`s a slow and beautiful track.
It begins slowly and relaxed, and continues slowly getting up at it.
Maybe it was a bit too slow, making it boring to wait for the song really catch up.
But at 1:45 or so, you finally release the song, aking it much better.

The flutes shimmer at times, but I don`t know how to prevent that. Maybe lower the scale, but that would be too deep. Or just play it softer.

But I liked this. Nice job!

SineRider responds:

Ah thank you man for the review

[Det är över nu igen]

Good enough

I liked it, but why the holy mighty fucking fingering god do you use swedish titles when you are from Japan?
All MIDIs/wavs at NG seems to be less than 10 seconds long, so maybe there are restrictions at either. Either way, the loop mixed well, nice instruments, and a relaxed and smooth melody.
You should really try getting the files into mp3, as it fits the page better.
Nice song anyways!

raitendo responds:

I'm Swedish, but I lived in Japan (I think I actually moved back to Sweden on the very day you wrote this review). I made this song 4 years ago, but it's nice that somebody would finally write a review for it :) Not that I've been touching any music programs ever since.

[|| FranticMasta ||]

Whoa...

I hope this is not a submittion, because you are the admin of this, and can decide this right away.. but since you say Exhibition Piece, I think I`m fine with reviewing it.
Well yea sure it`s frantic. And sure it`s perfect. Or did you make the song fitting this remix.. seems like.
I loved this, and I think those who want to participate in the contest will either get really inspirated or hopeless.
Oh well.
(I`m such a fanatic :)

HouseMasta responds:

thanks!

[Silver Clouds Looming]

Nice track!

This was awesome, you know it yourself.
Hell of an intro, leads out into a nice ambient sounds collection.
And the following 8-bits were really cool. You have a really good melody. the song is a bit repetative. You could have added more, but you really don`t need to. the 8-bitser is very crushed at times, making it sound horrible. You could choose another instrument instead of it, or pick up a sound cleaner effect to clean the noise out with.

1812 responds:

Thanks for the review, and thanks for the tip... Sound cleaner you say??
Glad you liked it :)

[-Mario Theme-]

Gooch sez

Whoa, here, I see a lot of needs in improvement.

First off, this song was way to slow. You should either play it in the real tempo, or highen the bmp so that it fits.

Also, make sure you play it proper. You just played it straight forward, you must have some breaks! Just see, here is the beat of the first line in the SMB theme separated by commas.
- - -, -- -, -.
You played it like;
- - - --- -.
You may not understand, but you really should.

Also, don`t just play the song! Make variations! A single piano is boring in the first place, but when you just play it halfway decent, it`s no good!

Add instruments! It can be synths, it can be drums, it can be flutes, it can be guitar, it can be whatever! Just make sure the song isn`t really boring!

And only submit it if you would enjoy listening to it KE.

Is that clearer than water??? (lol)

Pyroific responds:

well thanks for the review would you like to help me? cause im trying to get as much help as i can =)

[Perfect Addiction]

250! YAY!

It`s my 250th review bitch, so I had to assign it to someone I`m sure would respond!
I won`t remix it, sorry, it`s not my style at all, but it`d be fairly easy... It`s very short, but it`s really trippy in that while.
And the melody... it`s really good, I can`t seem to get enough of it either... damn.
So well, I haven`t really any suggestions for improvement on this, maybe make some better drum beats, as it`s fairly empty with just a bass trice in a second and some kind of gong...
But anyways, I`m just brambling to fill up with improvements, which are not really needed, it`s great! I`ll fifen it.

DJRaveR responds:

I RESPONDED... 250th, I don't count :P. Well it great that you have been at it so long. To bad, I might have to do it myself, seems I'm better now, I'll be ready for your critsium (your harsh). This melody is like satisfaction, except its got a different tune, so its awesome. So if you get addict to either one, just switch back :P. I'm gunna IMPROVE, but not for you.

[Potato tomato]

So why

So why did you submit it under ambent when it`s really Classical?
Gee, whatever, it`s a good melody, and it seems really like you`ve made this in one track, and if you did then *worship*.
So yeah. I suggest you adding more background effects, as it`S pretty dry and dull with just the piano. And that`s pretty much it. Good work.

Injected-Reality responds:

i ment to put it in hip hop XD Jk thx

[Dead Bolt]

aww...

Don`t you really have 401? Or have you uploaded something new since I saw your 400th?
But anyways, it`s your first, and yet better than anything I could make, I`m just toying with my rangle, yeah you know it`s great.

[A Walk in Your Brain--_--]

Yay

Gongrats on 400 songs and most songs in the AP! Must be great!
Seeing your dates, you must either have a gay amount of songs to upload even before you signed up, or all you do is making tracks all day... yeah.
But this was a great, reaxed tune, Great song, it`s not stressing nor too slow. You`ve got some great instruments in this, and also it`s one of the best choices to put the stuff in, so it fits really well to each others, and it makes a great, complete song. Great work.
(If people have a lot of songs, I always review their first, so prepare)
