[First Floops - Journey East]

not too shabby sir :D

Once you get used to it you'll want to start focusing on mixing and equalization. And then sound selection. when that synth comes in at around :54 or so it's a bit aggressive, kind of loud. (very loud)

I like the song itself though. Good choice of songs to remix :D

Isacc13 responds:

Thanks for the advice. I'll keep trying hard!

What I really need are also some better instrument samples...hmmm....

[Slowing Time]

amazing !

This is absolutely fantastic. Absolutely. This song could be killer as hell.. but that rhythm guitar drone in the background needs its mid-high frequencies dropped a bit so that the lead guitar can come through ! It's far to wonderful to not be heard. This is a fantastic song, I can't stress that enough.
Really, I saw the genre and was like .. oh great, another heavy metal *yawn* then so much emotion and power came through it. Very nice man.

Like I said, hit up that mastering on the heavy rhythm guitar in the background so that you can hear that functional harmony on the lead.

TheRealSam responds:

Thanks for this very helpful review! I'll try as you said! :D
Thanks a lot!!

[-Depression-]

Good stuff here

The melody is definitely depressing. But as darkmaster said, different sound's would have definitely made this. Unfortunately that fruity slayer is a deal breaker.
9/10 for potential :D

Redrapter responds:

Well I had a depressing moment today so the first thing I thought of was to make a song.
So I opened FL studio and I guess it shows.

[Heart Asks Pleasure First=HFX=]

Gorgeous!

I'm a sucker for orchestral, this is beautiful. see, about 1:00 minute in is where i'd drop ridiculous drums but that's just how I think.

This is pure beauty. Thank you for this submission :)

Phyrnna responds:

Thank you very much! It's an honor being reviewed by you. Especially since your orchestra far outstrips mine.
I personally still find problems with this, so there's still room for improvement.
Of course, then again, third week of FL here. So yeah. Lots for me to still learn. *total n00b*
You are very welcome Nubbin.

[.:Serenity:.]

I NEGATE 0 BOMB!!!!

beautiful piano here man. I think you could definitely use a better piano sound, but other than that the actual melody and chords are gorgeous :D

Darkmaster603 responds:

Thank you! would you happen to know any good piano sounds? im stuck using FL keys =(
Thanks for taking the time to listen and review!

[.:Tribute to Nubbinownz WIP:.]

Little did you know!

I was browsing new submissions RIGHT when this posted.. This is beautiful man
Seriously brought a tear to my eye.
I love the sound of it. You're nailing those drums and the piano melody is gorgeous.

I can't wait to hear the final version, please keep me posted.

GronmonSE responds:

Oh hey, he miraculously came across it haha, what are the odds?

I think the melody is quite nice myself, although I'm not exactly proud of the drums yet, but thanks :D

I'm not sure if I'll ever finish this, I barely finish WIP's that I submit. But I'll try.

Thanks for the review and for being an inspiration :D

[New Generation (NG)]

I'll tell you what genre it is

AWESOME! <---

plain and simple, amazing mix in this thing man. Pure amazing. I really don't have much to say about this other than, beautiful.

Developer responds:

Wow! I think this message will get me back to my music! :D
Thank you for your your appreciation! By the way, I hope you solved your problem.

[=Guilt and Ecstasy=]

oh my :)

Is this some epic 8 bit ?! I have delved into the 8bit genre meself :D Sir this is indeed epic *(without overdoing it)* :)

very well done, 2:00 minutes makes me want to get up and start slaying bunnies.

Hades responds:

Damn, now you're going to get the animal rights activists on my ass. ;D I'm glad you thought this really turned out to be epic, thanks for the comment!

[Fancy Mike - Slow Motion]

Absolutely brilliant mike

I haven't checked your page in a while man, it's high time i did :D

And what a good time to do so, you've got some really great tracks coming out of you lately. I'm glad you went the ambient route. This is an absolutely gorgeous song. very industrial ambient.

I totally get it. They're all machines. Working, doing their thing. Then they stop.
since our society is run by machines and electronics. When they stop, we stop :D

<3

[Dream[EG]]

good stuff bro

I really like the progression you've got going, and your grasp on structure is beautiful, especially if this is one of your first songs. The drum sequencing could use a bit of work. But seriously, this is some quality for a first submission :) I i want to hear more like this man, A very beautiful chord change going on near the middle / end

With some better synths this could be phenomenal. Keep it up man seriously, this is good.

evil-gohan responds:

thanks bro......i appreciate the constructive critique...yea when i get FL again ill try making some more songs
