"Fantastic man"

date: August 18, 2008

The production on this track has got to be the best i've heard by you so far. There's a bunch of fantastic rhythms you float through. As always the melody is beautiful. Such an emotional track. At least, i feel it. The very first glitches in the song were just fantastic and thats one thing i did want more of : P

As always - Beautiful job - love the changes - just great. You really add variation from the other tracks. Top notch glitches too.

Nice man. That really sucks. I've had that happen to me on a few occasions. Its the worst. Generally you can never go back and try to rework it. Eventually the melodies become reworked over time and you use it for something else (hopefully).

a 10 for your loss : P

not out of pity XD

momentary relapse

"Not so bad"

submission: momentary relapse
date: July 28, 2008

I like it. Its a bit repetitive, but the song is only 2 and a half minutes so its not too horrible. I think you could've thrown in just a bit more variation with the percussive elements. At 1:32 the song gets a bit more intense with the glitchy bits. I think this song would've been really cool if you made it climax with some intense breakcore glitches and have it end on that note, just a nice slow build. I like ambient music like that. That just me though. I like the ambient pads in the background and would've liked to hear some more sounds swirling around in this composition. This has potential to be really really good. Could make it a bit longer and throw in some more variation and you've got yourself something!

Cool stuff : D

I see what you're saying. I feel a little bit like I may have taken the easy route at some point with this song.

Thanks for the review!

"Oh man, you didnt!"

date: July 25, 2008

Nice man. I loved this theme from final fantasy 9. In fact final fantasy IS my favorite final fantasy. I don't really have anything bad to say about this. There's a lot of little variations in the instruments being used and the song just keeps building. I'd say you did this song some good justice. I especially loved when 1:41 hits. Love that part. So full of tension and such a flamenco dance sort of melody. Good job, mate.

hope you listened to both parts of the song - and I got your pm about you liking ff9 the best of all ff's hehe :P

thanks for the review - glad you liked it! It's nice to see so many tens on this song!

Nice production on this. Very cool. I really like the beat. The hats have this odd faltering urgency to them. Just a pleasant song with a good amount of change for its ambient nature and just the right length. 2:14 to 2:25 was just fantastic.

good stuff.

"Hey-oh"

date: July 19, 2008

The guitars and all that were great. I dont know about the vocals. Should work on mastering them a different way or adding a different effect to them? They seem to stand out in a weird way.

Either or, love the guitars and the samples. : D

Author's Response:

Hey there!
Yeah, I've gotten better at effecting vocals since I recorded this.
This was just to give you an example of my guitar work.
What samples, by the way?

On The Verge Of...(Semi-Fin)

"Hm.."

date: July 12, 2008

I would really change that intro, that does nothing for the song, nor is it interesting. The sounds are very uninteresting to be honest with you. The drums sound very stock. Please look for something different drum-wise. The Melodies you have are great and i wish you'd apply them with better sounds : (

The bass is just..

i cant go there. I just do not like the sound of it at all. Its that very fake bass sound. However, the melody was cool sounding.

I liked the wispy sort of eerie ambient strings you used towards the end of the song, it flushed the song out more and filled up space better.

Good Melodies, decent arrangement.

Bad use of sounds to apply those melodies.

There was a definite lack of atmosphere:
Using that string or synth bad you sometimes used a bit more would be nice. Or something else.

The song was a bit long for the low amount of change in it.

I also think a fade out in the end would work well. Just fade out the melody and such.

July 12, 2008

Author's Response:

Ah...

First, when you said lack of atmosphere, were you implying that it sounds empty?

And when you said bad use of sounds, what sounded bad? And where?
I'm asking all these questions so I can pinpoint the problem and really try to work on fixing it.

Well...
It sucks that the one thing that you inform me to change I have little to no power or control over.

I would love to download better sounds (beats more-so) but the memory on my computer is well near zero.

And I agree, the beat is very plain. I just really struggle with that aspect of the song. I need to spend more time on it, but I'll hopefully be able to construct a better one if I remain patient.

And it's kind of funny how you mention the bass, because every time I listened to the song I was kind of iffy about it. I have an idea what I can do about that, but my thing is I want a bass that is somewhat smooth sounding like that. But this just lets me know that boo bass is played out.

And fading out would be cool, but I have no clue how to do it..

It hurts to know that the song sounds so bad and I'm limited with my resources on how to fix it...=(

Well whatever, I'll do my best and work harder on this!

Thanks for the review man!

"To my trained ear?"

date: July 12, 2008

Your using a lot of stock FL sounds. However, your finally giving them a little more personality. Using effects and such. My advice is, you need to search outside of FL for other plug-ins. People who dont make music and dont use FL are not going to notice, but people who do, will generally notice instantly. I'd advise in finding a different keyboard (however, this time around you did make it sound loads better than i've heard it before). I did not like when the bass came in. I could tell it was from FL. So i would mess with it, process it outside of the song and really make it your own to make your own sound. Now onto other things - - -

The melody was great. I always like synthy melodies. I like the little stalls you had in it. The piano's melody was also great as well. Nicely arranged. They both played off of each other nicely. Had a very nice feel to the song.

The beat wasnt anything special, i've heard that pattern in just about any other song. So i'd work on making it something more entertaining more interesting, unique, etc.

You're getting better and thats great to see. You keep working hard on songs and you'll get better. My advice: Search outwardly for other vst's, samples, etc.

Also, i think some automated controlling of reverb, phasers and flanger might set this track in the right direction if you use it for the synth!

Your on the right path, i cant wait to see how you flush this out.

Keep at it : D

Author's Response:

Ugh, this is starting to hurt!

Going out and getting other vsts and samples, and I can't... (read last review if you haven't)

When you say process it outside of the song, what do you mean by that...?

Yeah, I'm going to change the beat indefinitely. Have no idea about another one, but I'll think of something...lol.

And when you say a different keyboard, what do you mean?
Like, I don't use my keyboard for anything really, I use my mouse for everything.

And about the melody, the piano is actually supposed to be the main melody, I just have the synth too loud. It's supposed to coincide with the piano that comes in at around 01:32 ish.

Glad you thought this one was better than the last, ha ha.

It gives me hope.

Thanks man!!
