[-[LiveC]- Amorphous Techn]

Cool sound

nice beat, a cool chord structure. The dub-ish breakdown seems kind of too mellow to fit with the rest of the song. You could've really amped up the bass in that section, given it a lot more movement. I like the vocal clips you used in it though, the laugh after the break was a nice touch, kind of funny actually. The whole sound of it is very cool, good work.

inhstudios responds:

yeah, i kinda made that part in like 10 minutes, i shoulda spent more time on it.
thanks for listening man!
and for some reason, when i tried upping the bass in that section for depth, sound got distorted.
but i only spent 10 minutes on that bass effect anyways..
i was thinking about fixing it, but i was also thinking of how much work that would be, and how lasy i am :)

edit

I just upped the bass in that part now, as well as shift the other over.
im uploading the new mp3 now, be sure to relisten for that sweetsweetbass!

[Sg - The Fourth Phase (ei]

pretty exciting

This would be very good as a boss theme. Fast paced, suspenseful chord structure, and cool synths. I don't really see how the breaks will go with an intense boss battle, but of course I haven't seen the game either, you might sync up the gameplay to go along with it. Other than that, it's a cool song, good work.

Qyue responds:

I plan on synchronizing the final boss battle with different parts of this song. Unfortunately, I can't synchronize this with what the player does, so it'll probably be synchronized with MASS's attacks.
Thx40review.

[Beat building]

The song itself is cool

But like you said, it is missing just a bit in the beat. Adding a hihat would help. I also don't see why you drop out the kick when you add snare, the kick can still hit every beat under the snare. The synths you're using are cool, but you need more bass, which you could add in with the snare. And as far as adding more to the beat, try listening to a lot of Latin. Latin music has a ton of rhythm, try listening to some Santana, or just look up Latin beats online. You'll get there, and you've got a good foundation for writing. Keep it up.

DESHIEL responds:

Both Latin and Santana are totally unknown to me, but if it will help me to improve this song, I will give it a try.

[My weekend Project, Dub]

pretty cool.

I like the short dub parts, gives time to hear everything else in between. But the chimes you have going the whole time are so piercing, maybe a little better EQing on the higher end? Other than that, the dub is solid and it sounds good. Nice work.

deendeon1000 responds:

im replacing the high end sounds they kinda irritate me, haha but thanks .

movie trailer

Space was the Final Frontier...
"There's nothin here for me ma!! I gotta get on that rocket!"
His hopes packed, ready to blast off...
"You know the risks, don't you?"
"I know there can't be anything worse than living on this miserable planet."
This winter, a movie about making a choice...
"...Are you serious? There are no Cheetos allowed?"
Between life, death, and party snacks...
"WHY GOD WHY?!?!?!?"
SPACE HUNGER. This film not yet rated.

I wouldn't even pay to see that. Rent it, maybe, but geez. That sounds awful.

im winning the game, but i feel bad.

every time i vote zero it says i want you to die in a fire. lol. This one is actually kind of catchy. for some reason it brings to mind watching scooby doo, if scooby and the gang were all on shrooms. lol. good work so far, 0/5, great work. XD

KKSlider60 responds:

It reminds me of Halloween somehow.
Who cares bruh? This fire purifies me! XDDD Keep spamming 0!!

[KKS - 03]

KKSlider60 responds:

Yeah it's rather trippy XDD

[KKS - 02]

I seem to be the only one writing reviews. haha. This might actually be good for a shooter game. Zombies or sumthin. until then, 0/10. :D

KKSlider60 responds:

Yes, you're the only winner so far. :D
Why is it so difficult to vote 0 now? I just can't understand NG.
KKS

[KKS - 01]

KKSlider60 responds:

Awesome man! We have a winner :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.
