This?

The melodies are great in this song, and your use of common chord progressions did help make it sound nice..
I just feel something's missing. Perhaps adding some pads will help.
Also, the lead synth sounds soft. Try playing it two notes at a time, one octave in between. This gives a fuller sound.
Overall, nice song. Some mixing will really help this song.

balderdact responds:

haha thanks
yea i didnt know much about making songs at the time i made this
and yes thanks for pointing that out cuz i couldnt figure out what was missing XD

Catchy...

I really like the catchy melody you put in the beginning of the song. The progression you used, although common, is pretty good, you melodies really match it well.
I like how the parts fade from one part to another. Really smooth.
I think adding a couple of effects to the instruments and making the kick drum more punchy will help improve the song more..
Overall, great song. It was the melodies that caught my ears. Good job!

balderdact responds:

thanks!

Great!

I'm thinking of reviewing a longer-than-usual review for this..
Okay. The melody is great, I like the notes. It's rather catchy, something most people like. I just find that it has a rather constant rhythm, which isn't a bad thing, but may make the song sound repetitive. But hey, aren't trance songs already repetitive?
I really like the progression. The chord progression you chose, is great, and creates a sense of epicness..
Your transition between different parts are great, there really is a flow between changes in instruments.
The synths you used match the song quite well. I believe these are presets as they are rather overused in songs here on ng. Even so, it's rather hard to tell.
The kick sound used seems muffled. I think you eq'd away the high frequencies too much.. Perhaps boosting the high frequencies will help a lot. It also seems you overused the reverb'd kick with filtered white noise. It adds a dramatic effect if you use it sparingly, but you kind of overused it to the point where it got rather annoying.
Overall, great song. The progression is where the song shines.. It's my favourite aspect of this song. Great work!

AikaMusic responds:

Thanks :D and yeah I could probably change the bass up a tad.

...

With less orca spamming, this song seems much better. I do think the orca sounds are just right, not too much to distract the listener, and not too little to make the listener forget it.
Once again, the piano melody is great, now it sounds more bell-ish.
Summary: Original idea, great song.

Snyper5527 responds:

Thanks for that! and thanks again for re-reviewing. I had to delete the old one on here to post the one with the changes. Glad you like it now :D

P.S. And yeah, those are bells at the beginning. Then piano later.

Yea...

I can see that this song has improved, now it's better..
The drum beats are nice, they fit rather well..
I just find the melody of the synth still doesn't match the song.. The notes should be changed a bit.
Perhaps fading in and out synths will help give this song a better progression.
Overall, decent song. Giving this an 8 for the effort. :)

FKProductions responds:

Heheh, thanks for the review.

I think you may be right.

It did fit, but then as we progressed, it seems it became a little bright for the rest of it.

Well, thanks for your review again and we'll take your advice into consideration

Actually, you aren't that bad after all..

Just checking out your other songs..
I think this song, like your others, aren't that good in their current state, but they really have some potential. The melodies do get repetitive, and there is very little going on in the song.
I think if you can ever get the full version of fl, your songs will really benefit from it.. You can work on adding all the subtle nuances into your songs and make them much better.
I'll be watching you and your future songs.. :)

Xarosas responds:

I appreciate the change of heart
but this song in particular as well as a few others were destroyed (forever)

many thanks

Great.!

I love the beats of this song, it really wants to make me get up and dance, if it weren't for the creepy melody.
This is pretty good, I kind of like this song. =)

Sumiyaka responds:

Thanks for the review, spread the words. =D

...

Pretty good.
But not really my type. The progression is great, but the last chord seems a bit off, I think it'll be better to use the really overused progression.
The melodies you used are great, they sound neat..
I think some of the synths you used sounded high pitched and ear piercing, but the overall quality of the sound is great, I really like the other synths you used. Maybe making the kick a bit louder will help make this sound better.

Meh.

This song could have better mixing, it seems bland.
Avoid using the default (and really recognisable) fl studio defaults.
The melodies seem to be repetitive. Adding more will make this seem more lively and easier to listen to.
But I like the progression you used..
Overall, so-so. The song is great, but it can be much better.

Screch responds:

Thanks for the advice man i needed that.

not really that great..

This just seems to be some random melodies put together. There is little variety in this song, the same synths play again and again..
The synths don't even seem to play in the same scale.
So... overal, this isn't really that good, maybe you should work on combining more instruments and playing them at the same time. And make your melodies less repetitive.

Xarosas responds:

not..really...what..i ..expected
but thx anyway man
i appreciate the review
i am still new to FL Studio and to make it worse im working with the demo so there is alot of restraint in the program
but ill try to use ur advice in my next song(s)
