3/5

The bass beat is a little annoying. Try making it lower, or not quite as loud. it's very in your face the way it stands right now.

The reason why it sounds unfinished to you is because you end the song effectively at 1:22. The whole piece just dies down, and never comes back up again. And yet it still staggers along for another minute almost.
That release is fine, good in fact, but you can't just drag that on forever! You need a climax that develops from it. When you bring the instruments back up, change keys, maybe add a new instrument, and then bring it back down to it's most basic elements (briefly), THEN the song will truely feel complete.

I'm not the best at equalizing and the headphones I use when producing suck so when I finish it and play it on something else, it's only then that I realize what needs to be turned up or down, but definitely noted for the bass part

I'll just take out the outro for now and make it into a loop
I usually have climaxes and stuff but this particular piece I was trying different things to avoid having the same structure in every song

Everything else is noted and I'll see what i can do about another instrument and/or riff

Also, I'm considering doing vocals in this piece
What's your take on that?

Really Cool.

It is SOOOO goos to heard cultural music on this site. Good for you for looking into different styles of music. :) Although this isn't the traditional Irish music I'm used to listening, it's more of a modern take on it. I like the drum section at 1:22, but be careful, cause it starts to sound a little asian. And at 2:13 when it gets changed up, don't replace the bass drum that you were using before. If you keep it going, it will provide more unity to your song, plus the sound of the bigger one is much more powerful and attention grabbing. The combination of that with the faster tempo will draw your listener in more.

Hope that helped. Be sure to check out my channel, you know, if you want. :)

PS - Nice vocals. ;D

Thanks for the comment we will take that in account for the next song. or maybe another version of this song.

5/5!!

I'm not familiar with this song, but it sounds good. The bass synth really sounds good. :) The whole thing makes me feel good. Congrats! :) It's very upbeat, but i do feel like it needs a little more relief. Instead of ending the song with the piano part, put that in front of the key change. That will give the key change more significance, and the softer part will act as a bridge. idk, See what you can do with it. :D

Hope this helps. :) If you want, please feel free to check out my channel.

viewtifulday responds:

Thanks for the feedback! And you're right, the key change needs a little buildup, haha. Oh well

Very cool!!!

At first, I thought it was just going to be a piano piece, which would have totally been fine, but the rythm and synth raelly add to the flow of the piece. You certainly thought this through well!! I really enjoyed this.
A few possible corrections:
1) At the end you should either make the outro chorus louder, so we don't have to turn up our speakers to hear it. -OR- you should add it to a final climax. This piece it kind of missing that central build up. It just falls away when I really wanted it to build up. That softer chorus ending COULD have a huge impact, but it has to have a contrasting climax before it. Otherwise, it just won't seem significant on the listener.

thanks for the review man, i will

Too Much Noise.

It gets a little to repetative though. Think about shortening the intro just a little bit. also, the distortion is a little much, although i can see the style that you are going for. just make sure to keep a balance between the clean sounds and the distorted ones (Ex: at 1:38). the distorted synth sounds kinda like a construction drill. :/

Just be careful about what sounds you are using. Try creating the same effect with less distortion. Maybe put some rests in to break up the continous sound of it, and also to create rythm.
Sounds good at 3:14. and some distortion beats there to accent certain notes.

Thanks for the input. I'm a very young beginner and I need all the damn help I can get. 8|

Sounds good!!

I really like this actually. Usually I don't like ambience much, but this has a nice flow, and a steady rythm and musical direction. It has a very multi cultural sound to it. The only thing to improve it would be to
1) Make it longer. You can definently develop this more.
and 2) Remove the dead noise at 1:04. It hurt my ears, and is pretty unnecesary.

Good overall mood and musical narration.

:) feel free to check out my channel.

It's Sea Worthy!

I disected a vole in my anatomy class. But I don't think that's what this song is refering to. It sounds very asian-pirate themed.
It's pretty good, and it has a neat narrative. I can see where your going with it, and it's good. You should write more of it!!!! I doesn't quite sounds complete; like your building up to something, but you just don't quite get there. Try experimenting with some different sounds.

Darkjak1502 responds:

Thank you for your improvement suggestions - I really appreciate it! :)
I always had problems in finishing musical compositions... :D
If you know any good resources which could help (books, weblinks), let me know ^^

Sweet!

It's a very simple kinda of song, but it has a really nice flow to it. Although I do hear some bass in it, I would recommend bringing it up a little, so it fills in the gaps in sound caused by the absence of the synth.
the climax is really great, but you should think about adding in some more lead ins to it.

Cool voice

Great voice and excellent recording skills! You should really try writing your own songs. :)

Jakspeed responds:

Thanks a lot partner. I have a couple of my originals on here, nothing great, but take a listen to Lose This Fight and tell me what you think.

ugggggg :/

It's a good idea, but try using different instruments. The 8-bit FQ really turned me off from this tune. Also, try to figure out where your trying to go with this. It seems really random and directionless.
Maybe, it you change the instruments, you can get some more narrative ideas to build it up and make it more dynamic.

vtv201 responds:

thank you for the feedback :} and i will change the 8 bit tones tomorow when i can and i will try and change the sctructure a bit, thankyoooou!!!!! :}

I am an amateur musician and I have been composing music for a year and a half. I hope to beome a professional musician and plan on studying piano performance in college. I hope you like what I have hear to show you. Wish me luck in college!
