[-[PK]- Happy Face :D]

Great!!

I like this song, it has a great beat, and the melodies are great.
I like the synths you used, really match the genre.
This is wayy better than the random crap that is usually posted onto NG.
Great job!!!

BTW, this is more of trance or dance music. Not really techno...?

[Orchestral Majesty (WIPish)]

epic..

I like the string pads you used, creates a great ambience...
I think a limiter is playing with the pads, the pads seem to be struggling to gain more volume..
I seriously don't recommend you spam the author's comments section with pleas for not bombing. See, the score has dropped a lot.

Randomman4 responds:

Well I took your word and got rid of the zero bomb crap, but thanks for the review, yah, I threw the multiband compressor on there, and messed with it a lot, but I also was mastering this on a really crappy system, someday when I get my new comp I'll hook it up to my 500$ system =D I'll try to change something around with it, Im kinda trying to go for a real majestic thing, but ReFX Nexus isn't really giving me very good brass pads to deal with, and I SUCK at mastering right now =(

[[TCS1] Rising Mist]

A bit slow..

I think adding some extra bass to the pads will help make this song much better, this song is lacking in bass.
The mastering isn't that good, the volume of the song changes often. The drums are also a bit too soft.
Overall, great song, but can do some better mixing and mastering.

TheClockStruckOne responds:

Understood. Thanks for the advice. I'll take it into consideration when reworking this song, and when working on my others. :)

[Another flop]

Great progression!

This would make an awesome trance song!! Maybe it is already trance..
Maybe this could do some heavier pads, I find it's lacking in ambience.
This isn't really a flop, its great.

Maverlyn responds:

If i get around to it i'll remake it

[Tide Of Grief]

Epic...

Woah.. shivers...
This is epic. I just find some parts a bit repetitive, like the two chord progression.
I really like the instruments, they create a sense of mystery and sadness..
I just find the vocal pads a bit too loud.. But apart from that, this is just plain awesome...
Great job!
5/5 10/10, fav.

Maverlyn responds:

Thank you!

[Steven Foster - A Lost Mind]

Great!!

Gee, what's up with all those random vocal beginnings? I find these a bit annoying.
But after I get past that, this song gets awesome. Love the trance beats!
I also like the progression you put. The melodies really match it.
The synths.... really great.
In all, this is great. Just that quality is a bit bad and.. I'm not too fond of the beginning.

stevenfostermusic responds:

yeahh i suppose nowadays using speeches in track can come across as cheesy most of the time, was just for a change thought cause i hardly ever do it. thank u for the review hopefully will be uploading higher quality sometime :)

[+- Bubble Gloop Swamp -+]

Great!!

Like how this has a really great beat.
Melodies are great, so is the progression.
I like the bass synth you put into this. Really great.
Great song!

[+Sonic and the Black Knig]

Like this..

I really like this song. I like how everything instrument's melody seems to combine into one single melody. Very well done.
Then, the drum beats were disappointing. It's just a kick drumdrum beating..
If you actually studied commercial music, rock song drums usually have a kick drum and a snare. You should probably research on drum beats before you apply one to a song.
Mixing is so-so. Volume levels were okay, but.. some instruments seem to not match in eq. The piano seemed too warm and fuzzy. i think making it sound more hollow will let it sound loud enough, but not so much that it distracts the listener from the main melody.
The guitar doesn't sound really good either, seems a bit inconsistent and bright.
Still, i seriously love the melody of this song, enough to favourite it.
Hope this constructive criticism helps. :)

AikaMusic responds:

Yeah i just gotta learn how to tweak the guitar synths, It was alot hard volume wise with them, so overpowering haha.
