[.:Sleepless Nights v2:.]

Enchanting

This song has a great deal going for it - you've given us a nice relaxing tune, despite the harsh sound of the low chord that you keep throwing in there for the beat every fourth note. I'd suggest having that as a held note, rather than such a sudden end of it.

Reminds me of part of Final Fantasy, where they go into the ice caves - with all the twinkling of the light off the perfect ice crystals. Sublime.

You know, I hadn't thought about that (referring to the chords thing). I'll try it out and see how it turns out.

Thanks for the review :D

[-Stormy Dream- |[Glou]|]

Weird, but good

Not a bad combination of the sounds in this one, you've given it a blissful sounding happiness about this tune, that brings a smile to even the most grizzled office worker.

The beat is good and the melody is, but I think that you could do more on the variation front, possibly throwing in a few curveballs, such as pauses in the beat, while the melody picks it up strongly.

K i'll take that into consideration, I guess I need to work on my melodies and whatnot to ensure variety. Thanks for the criticism and review

Classical Graffiti

I like the way that this track seems to start off in the early classical sense, with a very nice sounding piece of drums, which puts me in the mind of classic sword and sandals epics, like Ben Hurr and Clash of the Titans. Then it accelerates quickly across time to a more modern piece. Suddenly, we have landed in some sort of club scene, where this same music has been brought right out of the Roman times into the present and has been dusted over.

I'd consider adding more of the drums back into it at a later date, as they worked particularly well.

[Jxl180 - Run With It]

Not bad

I think that the bass is a little rough around the edges and you've got a conflict between parts of the tune, where the timings clash. Smooth out these rough edges and we've got a great little tune in the making.

I think that the ending was a powerful piece, but not really of the same type as the rest of the track, so that should be taken into a separate work and elaborated upon.

[([ARiP2 Remix v2!])]

Quickfire

Such an unrelenting piece, where you can't stop to get your breath. I think the best addition to this track would be more pauses. The few that you've thrown in are good, but I think we need just a little more.

I'd also consider a slower part, as this one really is a furiously paced piece.

Good Beat

I think that the rest of the song is just too uniformly random to me. You've come up with a great deal of different loops for this, but there's not really much change fromt hem until about 2 minutes into the track. I'd start adding the extra variation earlier, as it really does make a difference to the track later on.

Of course, a great way to add some variation is to throw a curveball of a different beat for a while, that gets people noticing different stuff.

[Bass Loop AL]

Good bass

I would like to see you take this further, by adding other instruments to it. Given that it's a pure piece of bass and a little additional percussion, you've got little to do to that and adding a melody would certainly take it a lot further.

I think that this piece sets the bar quite high, so expectations will be running high for your next tune ;)

[Tell Your Mother]

Vocal Sample

I think that you've produced a simple loop that even someone like me could get away with for the purposes of the Audio Portal. All it sounds like is someone remonstrating loudly into the mic.

I'd have appreciated this to be combined with music, as that's the real beauty of the Audio Portal and the great stuff you can find there. I'm fortunate to feel that I'm not the only one who feels this, judging by the score of this piece.

Of course, when you've added music to this piece, you'd need more vocal samples to take it further. Keep experimenting and give us something else to review.

Alright.

[Dont Listen To This Song!]

Hmm

I think that for your next piece, you need to come up with some sort of song with substance. This just seems like a random collection of sounds, with no real direction. The reason I gave you 3 stars was because some of the sounds did actually sound good. Take those, like the metal guitar riff and build on them

Once you've got that as the basis for a tune, expand on it, so that you've got something that wouldn't just be miscelaneous, for example...
