KKSlider60 responds:

Yes, you're the only winner so far. :D

[Salvia Mesa]

nice build.

At first I didn't think much of the piano. It was pleasant, but pretty simple. Then when the supporting chords came in, it gave a lot more feel to it. But when the heavy synth comes in, I think maybe it's just a little too heavy in contrast to the piano. IMO, just a simple lead in, maybe even a reverse crash cymbal, to bring it in would make it smoother. Other than that, the beat and the melody are cool. Good work so far, don't let your computer get you down, keep working.

thatguy669606 responds:

I had a reverse crash lead in to several parts before my computer did a fail. You are absolutely right, it helped to smooth the transitions. Anywho, thanks for the constructive criticism. If I get time, I'll keep working on this.

[I wanna break you (in)]

...lol

I'm not sure how serious you were being with the vocals in this one. As much as they add to the feel of the song, I felt like they were a little distracting and I couldn't help but laugh at them. ...ok I just heard the cough at the end, I don't think you're too serious with this anymore. lol. Other than that, the song itself is great. Nice rough sound, great balance. Great work.

[Get Rich Quick]

Cool rhythm.

I love how the builds break before you expect them to. Adds a lot of funk to it. Sounds very jazzy and upbeat. I'm diggin it, great work.

[Torn Apart!]

Dude.

This is pure excellence. The sound you attained with those synths is incredible. That opening organ sound is so powerful. Is there electric guitar in there somewhere? It almost feels like it. And great job making it not too repetitive, that's one of the keys to making a good song in house music. Great work, I'm going to check out your other stuff.

Ockeroid responds:

Thanks !!

No guitars, just some very distorted low organ & synth notes :)

[KKS - Glitch de Chocobo]

woah.

The sound you used at the break at 53 seconds was awesome. Was that a sample you found or a synth? Cuz if it was a synth, I must know what VST you used. O.O lol. This sounds awesome. I... admit, I don't know what that chocobo song is you were talkin bout.... But it's still a fun intro. haha. Great work, as usual. I'll try and get a good song of my own up soon. If I ever bother to actually write it.

KKSlider60 responds:

The Chocobo theme is from Final Fantasy, the whole series almost. The glitches that break just before the transitions are made by a preset instrument called "Glitch Generator". I can't make glitches myself yet, but it's pretty cinematic. I've added a bit of distortion, some panning, and there you have it.
Thanks Rob, was a pretty funny tune :D

[KKS - The Eye of Dawn]

very cool.

like the others below have said, it's very relaxing, but at the same time there's this underlying suspense that keeps my attention. There's also a lot in this that reminds me a lot of Pink Floyd, very psychodelic. haha. The percussion was also very well done, fitting to the piece and not overbearing. It all just blends so well together. Great work.

KKSlider60 responds:

I know it's sometimes quite spontaneous to find similarities between Pink Floyd and psychedelic, spacey music. :D And when it happens, it is a very good thing indeed.
Thank you bro ^^

[Rick and Glooby #1]

good lord.

"Glooby's" voice made me want to shoot myself. hahaha that definitely made it annoying. But since that was the point I can't hate you for it. lol. Some points really made me laugh though, like the whole solitaire thing. "I can make it two player. Yes I can."

buuuuut besides that, the effect on Glooby's voice needs a bit of tweeking, unless you wanted the glitched sound. I think it's the grain size that needs adjusting, but I don't know what effect you were using, if it was VST....

I digress. Good work. I laughed. :D
