i do a LOT of different styles of music all the time. much of it is centered on the idea of video games, be it a singular event or a background theme of some sorts. i'd love to actually hear comments and reviews, especially from you downloaders...

Envy {Original Mix}

"thick"

date: June 9, 2008

maybe TOO thick. and i understand your thoughts. it's like "i don't really LOVE it, but it's not that BAD, but i don't really care if it's on there, but it IS already on the internet..."

still, it doesn't suck. the sounds and everything are great, but they're harsh altogether. maybe give some things some separation and it'd be awesome enough to admire graciously.

Author's Response:

Thanks, for the compliments and the criticism.
I've learned more recently to watch my volume and peak meters, so i'll try and master or just adjust volume and frequency levels until i've got a better sound happening.
Cheers.

Greenhouse Emissions

"this a pretty nice beat"

date: May 30, 2008

all i could say against it is the distortion nearing the end from all the synths is a little buzzy in the high ranges, but it doesn't kill the track.

maybe a little messing with the levels on things, and this'd be silky smooth.

May 30, 2008

Author's Response:

hmm, pretty sure i used no distortion in here (other then some slight bitcrushing on the kick), but yeah that gated synth is pretty buzzy. i'm no mixer. Thanks for the review!

The Reaper's Promise

"didn't even see this..."

date: May 22, 2008

maybe you should off the 1/2 one now, lol. didn't even see this til just after the other one.

okay. i like how you filled out some of the empty space, much deeper now. i still think it could use some decoration, but this is your song, not mine.

if you have problems coming up with a groove, you could simply throw out sixteenth notes and notch a few off at random til you've thinned the herd a little.

or: on beat, on beat, off beat, on again. any kind of syncopation as a core follows something like that. woot!

May 23, 2008

Author's Response:

I see what you mean by switching it up with the sixteenth notes.

I don't mind the Constructive C man, I need it!!

Thanks for reviewing!

Night Full of Dreams

"who the hell voted 0?"

date: May 15, 2008

i liked this. i think it's a tad drab, but it's also extremely clean and doesn't harshen up as it goes. nice.

also, just... short.

Author's Response:

Does length matter when it loops though? lol

AR2 (sample)

"neat and subtle"

submission: AR2 (sample)
date: May 2, 2008

nice and mellow, and not hard on the ears at all (well... you might wanna reposition the mic slightly to ward off the buzzing aura). peaceful, yet profound.

May 2, 2008

Author's Response:

eek! buzzing from not pushing on strings hard enough!

just borrowing my girls acoustic electric, not used to this!

S&K - Flying Battery Zone act1

"sounds... umm... accurate"

date: April 23, 2008

don't let this come out like some kinda dick move, but...

it sounds like you took the exact MIDI events and changed the instruments to asomewhat more legitimite soundset...

i may be wrong, but it's gotta be an exact or near-exact transcription...

maybe a more original take would be cooler...

Quit Dinking around

"DO A BARREL ROLL DAMMIT!!"

date: April 21, 2008

a little overused, but it's funny. i never noticed how much peppy (i think that's who that was) sounds like Mr. Garrison...

would be higher, but there's a lot of aural harshness every once and a while.

May 7, 2008

Author's Response:

yeah i should probably go edit most of that but im too lazy to put a ton of effort into it now.

Shoot the Moon

"again, really nice music..."

submission: Shoot the Moon
date: April 21, 2008

sounds kinda... midi.

still cool, but...

if i knew what you were using, i could help, but, then again, i'm not the best in mxing... though i may be able to suggest VSTs or otherwise if you can tell me what you guys use...

April 21, 2008

Author's Response:

We use real instruments. We have a recorder that converts things to MIDI. We then convert it to MP3.

Technopolis

"DANCE"

submission: Technopolis
date: April 19, 2008

i'm glad you didn't do like SO MANY OTHER people and just pick a dance beat and slowly build up to nothing and call it a song. this was quite enjoyable.

i've never used FL, but i've heard that even the most musically-challenged can bust out hits with it.

...

maybe i should GET FL.

April 19, 2008

Author's Response:

Hehe, wow... I don't know what to say... thanks I guess ;)
But, as previously stated, this is one of the few of my songs NOT made in FL :P

But thanks for liking it :)
