[{Dreams N Nightmares]]

Nice!

I really like a bunch of things here.

I liked the piano a lot. It sounds really nice and peaceful.

The strings were also nice.

I didn't like how the first section ended so abruptly. There was no falling time.

I also didn't like the lack of counter melody. There seemed to be a single melody going on over and over.

Well, it was a good song, much better than the best classical I could make. Keep it up!

BritZombie responds:

Thanks, Yeah the melody was a bit repititve. Its all stuff to remeber for my next track

Cheers for the review!

Really Good!

This was a really good guitar piece!

I like the drums a whole lot! They really made the song sound good!

I love the distortion on the guitar! It really gives it a "metal" feeling!

Overall, it was really good! The only bad was that we only got half :(

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks alot! Yeah the songs size currently is almost 6 mb's. I still have to add vocals and bass. So I'll have to mash the quality a hell of a lot to get it to fit.
Thanks for your support!!\m/

[~EnV~Chaos Sphere (Edit)]

Nice Job!

First off, the main synth is AWESOME!! It really adds something to the song! Is it a preset??

Now, the bass. Its very strong, which is a good thing and it blends well. I love how it morphs from one not to another! That is a nice effect.

The drums... They were good, you did some nice drum work there! Its nothing epic, but its nice! :)

The background instruments... You need more. There seemed to only be one background which was a reverb of the melody. I would go for strings and chords, because they sound really nice when done right.

I really love the transitions. They are really the best part of the piece. They are loud and planned, so they sound good rather than crass. It really makes you jump out of your seat!

Overall, great song, keep up the hard work!!

Envy responds:

I love the main synth... its from Z3ta, "commercial Trance" I'm pretty sure everyone that has z3ta has to use it atleast once.

The bass is simply a 3xosc preset, modified with a phaser on it. and the first bass is from vanguard

I love doing drum work! Thats usually the first or second part of a song I do, because it really can make or break a good song.

Well I do have some strings that i put a phaser on when the main melody is playing. They arent very noticeable unless you really strain your ears to hear it.

I wish I had made this song longer, but alas, I didnt wanna do anything drastic as length can also ruin a song... But oh well, maybe next time.

[STH - Marble Zone Loop]

Well...

I liked it! The drums fit perfectly into the melody!

The main synth was nice and the part where it kinda cools off was good. I liked the texture and reverb of the synth in the calmer part.

In the main melody... Damn that things moving fast! You must have had fun making it though :D

Keep up the good work! Your remixes are very nice! I'll keep checking back to review more!

Also, I got a new song out, link in my profile (1NJ1 - Blurriness) that I need some constructive criticism on, if you wouldn't mind reviewing.

Thanks and keep up the hard work!

EliteFerrex responds:

Well, I was totally hyped up on caffeine, so anything less than this BPM just wasn't enough for me. ^^; I always appreciate your reviews, man!

[Break Down]

Very Nice!!

This was a nice song! There was many good things and only a few bad things!

I'll start off with the bad. The song doesn't have interesting enough instruments. I would advise adding more interesting stuff to add some diversity to the song.

I though the wow-wah-wawow thing sounded really cool! It gave the piece some nice effects.

It was also cool how I never knew when the song was over or when it looped. All of the pauses confused me, in a good way! They added interest to the piece!

Also, I really liked the texture of some of the main synths, although sometimes they didn't blend well.

Overall, good song! If you wouldn't mind too muchm could you please check out my newest song, 1NJ1 - Blurriness at http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/view.php?id=1835830??

Thanks! Keep up the hard work!

VanRiku responds:

Thanks. Getting reviews like this is a lot more useful than just "good job" it helps me to improve.

[A Place of Misery (complete)]

Great!!

It was a really good heavy metal song, it brings back memories of when I used to listen to this kind of stuff a lot.

The vocals were great, along with the guitar part. I felt that the bass wasn't strong enough and the drums needed more "oomph." I hope you know what I mean.

The part where you say "yeah, bring it, yeah, sing it" you sound slightly bored. Try and put a bit of spark in your voice next time.

It was a great song though. One of the first heavy metal songs I've heard here with good vocals AND instrumentation.

Keep up the good work!!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks alot, man. Ooomph eh>? Yeah I agree. After a billion times of trying to get it to a key that fits in the song, you forget to include the inspiration that made you write those lyrics to begin with...hahaha.

Thanks for the awesome review, man!\m/

[MMBN4 - Virus Battle]

Nice Job!

I really like this one, not only because I used to play MMBN4 obsessively (on my 7th playthrough, lol).

I did not like the drums, they were much to fast. Try slowing down the BPM or spacing out the drums more.

I also didn't like the choice of main synth. You should have used something with a bit more reverb and something a bit more tranceish would have helped.

I liked the background effects a bunch. They really added to the quality of the song.

Keep up the good work!

EliteFerrex responds:

You... Wow! More than I played MMBN3 Blue! Amazing! You ain't got nothin' on my Pokemon Red, though-- 297:49. Booyah!

[Pokemon Gym Music]

Great!

I really liked this song! I have always been a fan of Pokemon music and this fits.

The drums are very good and fit the song well.

I think you could have picked a better choice of main synth and could have even used a morph effect between the part A and part B.

It needed more bass, it was very treble and could get slightly unpleasant.

It would be nice if it was longer, but overall great! Keep remixing, you could turn out to have some nice stuff!

Hyper-Freak92 responds:

Hey, thanks. You can probably tell I'm a percussionist primarily, but you're right, this was a quick throw-together and it could have used a little more oomph on the almost inaudible bass track and something a little more classic VG for the synth.

Thanks for listening, maybe I'll fine-tune it sometime.

[Sonic 3 - Ice Cap]

Hah!

I saw your topic on the audio forum and now I need to review this.

It is in no way original, it is probably the most over-remixed song ever.

It is not diverse at all. Anyone can put Sonic to the bells part and call it music.

It is clear, I can't argue with that.

It took little effort, just some clicking and dragging in FL Studio.

If you want to see some GOOD Sonic remixes check out sonic2.ocremix.org and s3k.ocremix.org.

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

What BBS post? Or are you just buying into HouseMasta's little scheme to get rid of me?

[LoZ-OOT-Minuet of Forest]

Nice Reflection!

It was good, not perfect though.

I really like the execution of the main melody and the piano sound. In the beginning, there wasn't enough going on to captivate enough, I would consider adding some background instruments.

The melody was nice and the style really fit the traditional Zelda style.

Overall, you did a good job, you just need more "stuff" going on.

Thanks for, a navij11 review! ;P
