"Pretty good."

submission: Escalation (8-bit)

date: May 16, 2009

I saw your thread about the drum samples, but I don't really like them, they could have (and I think should have) been more 8-bitty. Also, I don't know if you purposely avoided reverb, but generally, your music will sound better with even a touch of reverb on them. Composition was good, and the other sounds were very effective.

"Great!"

submission: Escaping the Daily Routine

date: May 13, 2009

Really nice buildup from the beginning right through to about 1:20. The sounds you used were pretty nice as well, those jazz drums have an awesome sound. Sounded quite creepy-ish to start, but then got more laid back when it changed at 1:20. But I have to agree with wyldfyre that the vocals do sort of take away from the effect of the rest of the song. Great otherwise, though. Keep it up.

"Definitely dancey."

submission: [LK] Euphoria

date: April 29, 2009

Good intro section, a bit of overused synth action in there, but hey, we work with what we can right. I can definitely see the euphoria in this song. The breakdown was a nice change of beat, caught be (pleasantly) off guard. Perhaps a little long with not enough change to it, but it's not like it was 8 minutes or anything, so it wasn't too much of a drama. Also, congrats on getting in the weekly top 5!

Keep it up, this is good stuff.

"Pretty funny."

"She shot me, she pushed me out a window, she pushed me out of a plane, she pushed me out of a bus...she pushed me out of a rocket ship one time."

Pretty funny, but I don't really think it deserves best of the week, though. Must have been a slow week.

"She went all Hitler."

I bet someone got a surprise when they checked the answering machine.

"Interesting..."

submission: The Toil of Allen

date: March 25, 2009

I don't know if it really fits in the 'classical' section, though.

If you were going for orchestral, I'd recommend a sample library, like Garritan Personal Orchestra or East West Symphonic Orchestra.

I think you need to fill in the starting section a bit. Add more bass there, just to fill up some of the space there.

You do have a nice chord progression going on there, though, nice work.

All-round, pretty good effort, keep working on it.

"Pretty good."

submission: Cyborg Nobleman ( Demo )

date: March 15, 2009

Firstly, though, needs some reverb. It really brings the performance to life. Also, I think this needs a more driving bassline. The modulating synth you have seems more like a distraction from the melody than a bassline. Finally, I suggest you build the song more. At the very beginning, you set an intensity and the whole song stays there. I think more variance in dynamics would do this wonders.

Otherwise, pretty good.

"Really nice!"

I'm glad you PM'ed me, this is a really great track. The updated sample libraries really add to the effect of the song, it sounded really good.

Awesome track, keep it up!

"Nice!"

submission: Stormdrum

date: December 7, 2008

This loops really, well, congrats. I love the "wrap remainder" option. ^_^

Anyway, I'm just about to 'legally obtain' Stormdrums, this has really reinforced my confidence that it'll be great.

Nice work, keep it up.

"Crazy shit!"

submission: Drum track

date: October 24, 2008

I wish I could drum like that. But it's certainly missing that element of music. Just a drummer going crazy is not all that musical. By the way...is this friend you mentioned...Michael J. Fox? I'm sorry, I had to ask.

Nice work, keep it up, I hope you do decide to add something over the top of this.

"Alright."

submission: My name is bob(unfinished)

date: October 24, 2008

Pretty simple stuff in FL, a piece like this really shouldn't need to be uploaded when unfinished. It's also a little annoying, looping certainly doesn't work with this.

Nothing special, but keep practicing.
