[We Love You Jason]

I had to stop listening

Dear god, it gets worse.

The guitar doesn't carry a tune and the vocalist can't sing, so what are you thinking with trying to make a song out of this?! Two wrongs don't make a right and I don't care if it is a joke, because I'm not laughing either way.

It's not Heavy Metal, so I'd suggest that you re brand it into something like pop, since it's got a snivelling whine of the Boy band about it.

Then we get the rock part, which is almost as bad, if not worse. The lead singer has some real issues with how close he gets to the mic - tie him up, so he doesn't get closer than maybe a foot from the mic, as it would help a load with the song. Giving him some decent material to work with might help as well, but that's only maybe, as I'm not sure if his talent would be appreciated elsewhere.

YOU HAVE TO STOP LISTENING SO YOU CAN SUCK SOME DUDES DICK! SO WHO CARES! FAGGOT!

[SWITCHBLADE]

Good stuff

I'm into Ska a little and this is a nice piece of music. I think that it could have been improved upon, by slowing it down a little in the choruses, as it doesn't have to be a race to finish the tune.

You say that the band broke up? I'm looking forward to the stuff that you can make once you've got a new band then. Should certainly be worth a listen to if you could just slow down and not yell so much into the mic.

[>Welcome to my Haunted House<]

A little sharp

I think that the piano that you've chosen in this piece is a little sharp towards the end and there are sadly a few duff notes in the tune, which does detract from the way that this tune works.

I know that it's supposed to sound creepy and wrong, but if you can do that without the notes sounding like they shouldn't be there, the effect would be much more impressive.

O_O
Ok then, thanks for the review. Even though i'm not exactly sure what you mean to say ^_^;

[Sad²]

Not bad

I think that you're still fading out too early, so you could shave a second off the track and no-one would notice.

The tune itself is exactly what it says on the tin - sad. I'd consider increasing the length and making the piano more uniform to deal with the expression of the sadness, as it's too complicated with the beat and abstract nature of the way you've played it at present.

Thanks, stop reviewing old music, i'm accually sick of this song.

[EpicDnB_EnergyLoop]

Menu

This is exactly the sort of tune that is needed as a main menu jingle for lots of games - I can imagine the details of the game and this tune keeping things in check in the background.

Nice work, but i would consider making it longer, as when it loops, it gets very samey, very quickly. Make it around half a minute long and you can add some more variation to it.

[{dj-N} Not Alone (RMX)]

Fast paced

I think that the only problem that a track of this speed posesses is that it's going to finish way too soon, so you need to loop it and do that well.

I'd consider making the track longer to counter-balance the speed making it sound shorter and also the addition of something a little more varied into it - there are maybe 4 phases in this song and I think that you need more, even if you come up with variants of these parts.

FunkmasterCatking responds:

It's hard to explain, but...

It was originally supposed to be way longer, but near the end all of the synths I used using the nexus demo went silent, and I had to find substitutes. The only one that didn't go silent was that saw-type synth that came in around 0:21, and that was the only thing that kept me from giving up on it. I ended it earlier because I was afraid that if I waited longer, that one would go silent, and being the most important synth in the song, I didn't want to take my chances of spending even more time on a song that would end up not working.

Last time I'm using the Nexus demo...

[Jasons Phone Call]

Not my thing...

I think that you need better casting for the part of Hugh Heffner, plus a more excitable script. It's been done before and let's face it, would need a better script to be done again.

Of course, the whole breaking into that dumbass lines that I was totally expecting ruined it. Get a life and make something worthwhile with your software. Please.

YOUR THING IS DICK SO NO WONDER YOU WOULDNT LIKE THIS! FAGGOT!

[Succubus]

Lose the vocal effects

If you just turned the sound of the voice down a few octaves, rather than tried to mess around with it, you'd have a much better sounding tune.

The guitar that you've put in sounds good, if a little repetitive, although I am distracted by this nagging feeling at the back of my head from listening to the assault on my senses from the vocals.

Lose the fagness before you get stomed. Some one who voice acts shouldnt judge shit. FAGGOT!

[Forgotten Tears - Mjattie]

Evocative

A nice piece here, with a good variation of tempo and ambient sounds. This could well be something associated with either the Final Fantasy Genre or indeed something as a menu backing tune on quite a wide range of games.

In reflection of this last point, I'd hope that it would loop better for that, but we can't have it all, can we?

[Winter Dream]

Walking on fresh snow...

... looking over an icy paradise of untouched countryside on a bright sunny morning. It's perfect.

That's just the problem, it's too perfect for this to be a reality - I'd suggest that you add something in there to accompany the niceties of the orchestra - something like a little percussion or some woodwind to signify birds... something to give a little activity to the piece.

Otherwise, it sounds a little 2-D for my liking.

BlazingDragon responds:

All of my other pieces are the exact opposite; sad and mournful. This is really an exception. :P

I definitely see what you are saying though. The limited number of instruments does put a limit on the pieces activity. However, I had a specific goal in mind with this. I wanted to see how I could create variety using only a limited instrumental pallet and a very simple form utilizing three simultaneous melodies. I did try to create some variety with the string arpeggios later on, combining and strings and woodwinds, etc.

Thanks for the review,
~Blaze
