(E-E) Pirate's Gigue (KH RMX)

"Woah - well done."

date: December 27, 2006

Awesome submission. Everything seems to be really well balanced, and it's a nice original mix; you didn't just remake the song, you changed it.

I'm sure I've heard this one before because my brother has the game. You can hear that it's a song from KH, but it still sounds very unique.

Nice job. The only thing you could have MAYBE done is added a little more variation to the beat once in a while, but I think the song is fine as is. I don't know the original very well either, so perhaps you were just trying to keep a similar beat.

Either way, great track :D

Author's Response:

I wanted this to have a classical feel, at first. I decided not to though, because the original is somewhat more classical. So I tried to spice this song up with a dance-y/techno, and then add a hip hop/ techno beat.
I bet you have heard it before, but I'm not sure if it was used in the movie or anything like that, of the peter pan movie.
The beat was just something I made to go slow, because I didn't want it to sound fast paced, so I slowed it down with the beat. The only beats that were the same, was the crash and the tamberine (sp?)
Thanks for the review dude, I appreciate it a lot!

What's Cookin Doc?

"Cool sounds."

submission: What's Cookin Doc?

I loved the deepness to your kick. Actually, I really liked the way your drums sounded overall; they weren't too generic.

The synths had nice atmospheric qualities to them too. My only beef is that some of them don't blend with each other as well as they could. What I mean by that is some of them are more clear than others, so it sounded strange at times. I still loved all the sounds independently though.

Good melodies going on, but at some points they sounded slightly cluttered when working off each other (not too much, though). Still a very nice tune.

Very easy to listen to. Nice and soft :) Keep it up.

Thanks for the review. Merry Christmas!

Reach Out

"Good stuff."

submission: Reach Out
date: December 18, 2006

I really like this beat. It's got a lot of potential.

Your biggest problem is length. This thing's too short! I'm sure you could make it longer. This felt like it was just a beginning. You could continue it and progressively add heavier sounds to it until it reaches a dance climax.

I loved the sounds, really phat stuff. Great melody going on.

I didn't really like the "Reach Out" vocal, because it sounded a little too cheesy and slightly out of place.

You should work on this one. I think if you put more time into it, it could be amazing.

Great job :)

(E-E) Crying For Love[Hurting]

"Not bad at all."

date: December 17, 2006

The reason I gave originality a low score is because you didn't write this song and aren't the first person to cover/remix it.

I like the melodies, but it feels like the song never really goes anywhere. I have problems with buildup and anticipation as well, and it just leaves the listener disappointed.

In my opinion, the lead should have been louder for a more dramatic effect, because that's where the real emotion is.

Overall a nice piece here, but with a little more work and change (dynamics, etc.), it could be awesome.

Author's Response:

Dude. I was the person to make this song. My account was Chaoz-of-Yakuza, but I decided to make a new one in order to try out my new style of music. If it would prove it, I'll make a farewell song or something. A lot of people redid CFL and I just thought I should do a remix for my new account. Now then.

I suck with build-ups, i know, but at least I tried right!?

Well...I think you understand the songs emotion by telling me what to make louder, which mean, I pretty much made you feel what I felt, I hope.

Thanks for the review man.

Christmas Hype

"Definitely Christmassy."

submission: Christmas Hype
date: December 3, 2006

Neat track you've got here. You made good use of blending different styles/instruments. At times I thought it sounded empty, like maybe something was missing, but overall it's a decent listen.

Not really my type of music (at all), but I try not to let that affect my judgement.

Nice job, keep it up.

5/5

"Very nice."

submission: SpaceJump

I love the retro feel to it. Maybe your bass line could be a bit louder, or the main synth a little quieter. Also, that glitchy sounding synth was a little too loud for me (But that could be just me).

The slower, ambient part reminds me of the 90's haha - it's that voice! Really though, it sounds like something I might hear on late night radio (when they play the techno).

I absolutely LOVE the pads during the slower part.

Too bad you had to lower the quality to submit it because you can hear the difference. I hate that, they should have some leeway with the 4 Mb limit.

Great job 5/5 :D

Author's Response:

Thanks for the awesome review. Yeah I had to lower the bitrate to about 96 :\
It sounds way better in full quality, (email me at smad12@hotmail.com if you'd like the better version).
I'll work on the bass and synth, I have new program now so I'll try and fix it, and take the ambient part out just to see how it sounds, (plus shorter song= better quality) :D.

Secrets

"Woah."

submission: Secrets
date: September 2, 2006

Wow, that was awesome. I LOVE the sound. It's great. It was beautiful, I just got a few comments.

At the beginning (my favorite part), I just wish I wouldn't hear it go quiet at the parts where the warble stopped.

Also, I didn't really like the one drumroll. I felt it sounded too out of place and it didn't lead up to much anyway.

That's all I have to say. Otherwise, a grear piece here :)

Author's Response:

Ahh k, I hear what you mean, maybe I should have a little echoing there or something. Lol about that drumroll... I tried to use to introduce the bassline, so it wasn't so intrusive, maybe it was too loud and/or sharp...
Anyway, thankx for the review :D I'm gunna check out yours. :)

Red Lable-None Stop

"Alright."

date: August 10, 2006

Not bad, but it seemed a little all over the place with no real melody. Even the few pieces of actual music (not pure sounds/percussion) seemed to just be added in random places.

Some good sounding perucussion, however.

Just work on making it less random and more composed.

Race Against The Beat

"This song's score is too low."

date: August 7, 2006

Quite good. Great piano work (and nice sound). The kind of song that can go on and on with out getting boring, so I thought it ended kind of abruptly. I guess you can only go through so many variations.

I'm going to vote a 5 on it because it deserves higher.

Without Limits (Fixed)

"Very nice."

date: July 12, 2006

There is a definite style and sound to this song. I quite enjoyed it, but the piano just sounded a little too honky to me. People have different ideas of what a good piano sounds like anyway. I liked all the different sounds. Nice string work. Great when the drum beat comes in. Keep 'em coming.

Author's Response:

Thanks alot for the quick review snayk. Agreed, it's a little to honky for my liking as well. But thats okay, I plan to get better all the time, and this includes the quality of mixing my sounds.I love it when the drums come in too (and when they cut out).
