[First Song I Made in FL]

Great sounds!!

The sound has some good sounds to it, but I can tell that this is your first. The song isn't very organized. The introduction of certain instruments could be smoother, like at 1:32. You need to have some kind of a plan when you write stuff. Individualy, this all sounds good, but together, it just doesn't connect.

I would recommend working on each "theme" seperately. see how you can expand each of them, creating a climax and a narrative with each one. You could then combine them later, just make sure you have good transitions, or an solo instrument that carries through most of it to help tie it together.

Hope that helped! If you want, feel free to check out my channel. :)

Yeah, I Used the demo version for this.. so I wasn't allowed to save it... so I made it all in one session .. Wish I was allowed to save it.. + I made this 2 years ago.. my music is a lot better now... thanks for the review though :D

[Order Of Disorder]

5/5!!!!!

This is perfect for a intro to a cool game!!!! I would play that game. The chord progression works really well.
However, it doesn't loop well at all. I would fix that, so that the sound is more continuous.

Hope that helped, and thanks a ton for sharing!! If you want, please check out my channel. :)

Jacob78 responds:

Never was meant to be a loop but thanks for the review I greatly appreciate it. I am so glad you like it and hope every one else does as well. More or less the way I meant for it to be was that kind of opening that gets you pumped up and ready for what ever is throne at you.

[Endless Dark (Infinite Loop)]

Creepy...... :D

Wow. I love to heard how this would sound with all the surround sound. Personally, I thought the breath was a little creepy, and kinda annoying when he was breathing in. I think the loop would have been cooler without it. It a great track of ambience music though. Keep it up.

I did try to link, but for some reason it kept sending me to the main youtube page instead of to a specific video. You might want to check your link.

NickPerrin responds:

Yeah, the original presentation of this piece didn't mix the breathing and the other audio directly, but I had no choice to make it all one combined stereo mix for NG. Based on your comments, perhaps I'll lower the volume level of the breathing for this mix and re-upload.
Oh, and NG always automatically puts spaces in URLs, it's unavoidable. Just have to remove them and the link will work. :)
Thanks for the review!

[Like A Dungeon Dragon]

really cool. (and by cool, I mean nerdy)

wow, this was really cool. At first the rythm didn't really seem consistent, but it works. The "white sound" of you lyrics actually raelly help the lyrics. I could see this being a nerds new theme song. :)

This is so excellent.

viewtifulday responds:

I don't try to sound nerdy...it's just my voice, haha.

[Tired Of Waiting For You]

Music <3

Music is always the best way to get things out. A pretty good cover, but the audio quality could be improved. It's very distorted and echo-y. it does did it a very mellowed out quality. if the sound is controlled, you could really make it sound good.

Lodmot responds:

Yeah, I can tell what you mean. xD
I was trying to make it sound like a recording from the 1960's, because a lot of old rock and roll back then had that "reverb" sound. Perhaps that wasn't an appropriate thing for this kind of song.

[Well, What Comes To Mind(Demo)]

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.

Lahleon responds:

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?

[_Celtic_]

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

icedrake33 responds:

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

[-River Flows In You- (vd]

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

[Kandl - Mist]

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.

I hope this helps!! :) If you want, please check out my channel.

thanks for the review man, i will

[Atom Frost Revisited]

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.

Hope that helped. :) If you want, please check out my channel. :)

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