[Xyirx - From Darkness to]

Could be better

I liked the beat and the piano but the rest was just like random noises. Still, it was pretty good. Good work. =D

Xyirx responds:

I agree on the random noises, but they're just SFXs which make the song techno-ey. Anyway, thank you for your review. Enjoy listening.

[Eternal Love]

Cool

Nice work. I really like this song. Nice synth bass (I admire good synth bass because I totally suck at it). The tune was excellent as well as the beat. Not much else I can say but great work. ;)

ADR3-N responds:

Thanks : )

[Acid Face]

Okay...

Well, pretty boring and effortless but at least it didn't sound bad. The beat went well with it, but with what? A tune with one synthesizer and hardly any notes? It was also pretty poxy the way it played. Put some effort into something a lot better next time... a decent song takes way more than 5 minutes to make.

Cheers,

Thomas responds:

Not a song.

A loop made out of boredom.A 7 second loop.

[Re-X2-Cover: Stars Go Blue]

Pretty boring

The vocals were good and the guitar playing was good but WAY too repetitive and got boring real easy. It needed a chorus different to the verse to make it more interesting. Because of the vocals I'm not giving you a score under 5. Good luck on your future projects.

Cheers,

neonwelpZ responds:

Hm thanks much for your honesty, and the compliments on the vocals (that honestly surprised me) but I do hope you realize that it's just a cover, the real version (minus the solos) only uses those 4 chords in the same order.

[Kung Fu Hustle RemiX]

I like

Groovy! Nice tune you got here. Good beat. Nice work. A bit repetitive though. I liked the drums at the beginning but the part after that but before the main song didn't work. It would've been better if it just went straight into the song... maybe with a cool drum sound for some impact.

Cheers,

StealthNice responds:

thanks.. i still need practice =)

[Karco - Beginnings(Incomplete)]

Not into it

Sorry, but I didn't like this song very much. I liked the part at 1:00, nice and slow which went well with the music you had. I think this would've been much better as a slow song - didn't work fast paced.

Karco responds:

Huh, that's too bad. Thanks anyway for the review. :)

[And the Storm Will Come]

Pretty Cool

I really like this. I love how it's all nice and then at the end the guitar comes in. The guitar had the perfect volume and with that classical music - just awesome This has a heroic feel to it, and the end sounded like it be when the hero destroys the evil character. What did you use for that classical sound (the only sound at the very beginning)? Was it Sytrus in FruityLoops?

Whatever it was, great work! I love this!

theinfernumflame responds:

Thanks for the review. :)

The beginning sound was a combinator patch for Reason 3.0 called "Full Orchestra", I believe. I tweaked it a little bit to make the individual instruments in it fit the range I wanted to use, but that's really the only instrument I used until the timpani came in.

[BoomChick-Demo-UMSL]

haha

I can play that little tune on the piano but I made an extended version.

umsldragon responds:

Ya, it's fun to play around on isn't it? I could play this for hours on end :P

[[ f ] Epic Gangsta]

Awesome

Very nice, man. I love the beat and tune... it's all great! :D

flashmac responds:

Thanks man! I really appreciate it.

[Restaraunt Music (Minor)]

Dude!

I think I'll use this for my part. :D

WritersBlock responds:

Dude!

Fa' Sho!
