[We're alive]

Nice

The beginning made it sound like it was going to be an ominous piece, but I was pleasantly surprised by the relaxing piece that followed. My only gripe are the drums. I don't know, it might be because I'm used to listening to certain types of music (DnB, breakbeat, dubstep), but I think the song would work better with those type of beats (like near the end of your song), especially since that kick of yours is pretty powerful XD

Other than that, though, great sound, great samples, great potential :D

Doumaaa responds:

Hey there, that's one thing I still need to learn. To make good drums. I used the basic drumset in fruity loops and yeah I agree, I made them a bit choppy-like. Not a very smooth beat, but as they say, practice makes perfect, so hopefully, in time, I'll get there.. thanks for the 8 and a worthy review!

[MoonSight 18]

Sparks Visions :D

This song really does put calming images in your mind. It's peaceful and otherworldly, yet at the same time not too retro-spacey. I like it, and I shall give it a 5. :)

Btw, 18 happens to be my favorite number. Awesome! XD

DjUntold responds:

Hey man! Thanks for taking the time to leave me a review.
I'm glad you liked it, and that's pretty cool that it's your favorite number :P All the better!

Uberly Awesome

The flutes really give this song an exotic feel. I can totally imagine a sunset or sunrise on an exotic island. Great job as always.

My only complaint is that it's too short. :P

5/5

MaestroRage responds:

Thank you very much. I tried to make it sound as exotic as possible. As for length, well, the dream was very short in itself. When I run out of things to say, I also generally run out of things to write musically as well. Thank you for listening!

With love,
Mandi <3

Great Boss Song

I could imagine this song as the theme for some mechanical or modern boss, like a cyber ninja or something. However, it would be awesome if there was some subdued, sad segment in the middle of it, to give the song a more sorrowful edge, like the boss you're fighting is a tragic boss. xD

I enjoy the brass line, and the drums really blend in. You should make more! :D

nathanallenpinard responds:

This is a style I haven't tackled in a while, so possibly.

[Storm Hits]

Love the Bass

I think the thing that makes this song great is the kickass OOMPH on the kicks. Especially in the buildup. Anyway, this is a really well rounded song, although the piano could use some downsizing because it really explodes at times.

Nice song!

5/5

mrpibbs1 responds:

Ah yeah that kick is quite nice.
I agree about the piano getting too loud and thank you for the review.

[Love, As I Know It (MAC9)]

Soothing

This is really soothing, and there is that sort of anime/Hisaishi/Final Fantasy vibe to it, which really gives it an exotic feel. I'm sure that if you keep up the music, you'll be pumping out insane stuff by the time you're 20. Keep learning and experimenting! I'm excited for your tracks to come. :D

Zero123Music responds:

thanks alot scout :)

I loove final fantasy and it is an honour to be compared to it and it's music :D

and in 6 years I should improve quite a bit^^

[Untitled (DnB)]

Nice

Everything was good. The rain effects added to the ambience, and it really seems like the drums were in harmony with the ambience. I particularly like the drums. There's a lot of kick on the kick drum, and there's some pretty nice glitching effects. Only complaint here is that it's too short, but that's a good complaint. ;)

P.S. That thunder sound is kickass XD

Tamadrum responds:

Thanks man... I love the sound of thunder in the distance...

[aCeta - Accelerator WIP]

Pretty chill

I wouldn't say this is drum n bass, but more like a breakbeat/ambient or something similar. But there's no category for that, so w/e.

That kick is perfect. The background bass is also raw, and I like that. The only thing I would probably change is the timing of that quieter segment in the middle. It kind of comes in too abrupt in my opinion. Overall, good sound you got going here.

PS. PX9 is a 'she', not a 'he' ;)

Juresic responds:

Yeah, I dont like it either, I was planning on making the entire thing loud and just getting rid of it. But it's there cus it's an Idea. lol Thanks for your awesome review.

Not bad

This is a good direction you're going, and it'd be nice if you keep going in that direction. :)

I like the bass, and the drums give a nice funky groove to it. I suggest adding more variation to the drums and of course add more stuff and make it longer.

I will vote high because some zero bomber struck again :(

DJ-Draken responds:

Haha, I appreciate it. Zero bombers are the devil =(

And yes, I agree that the drums need some more variation. I've just been rather lazy lately. I'm sure I could get a more unique and cooler feel if the drums had some more variety. I also to plan on making this a full song at some point.

Thanks for the review.

I like the piano

This song is really ambient and relaxing, and I like it. However, there are a few things you can improve on.

1. The synth that comes in near the beginning is kind of rough, and not relaxing. Maybe you should tone it down a little or soothe it out?

2. It's a little on the short side XD

Other than that, good piece, and you can build on that :D

LK412 responds:

Yea i was told that and i will definitely change it. I really can't make songs long because i dont have so much patience for a 3-4 minute song because working on a song for more than 2-3 days makes me tired of it. Thanks for the review.
