Not that good...

Harmony wasn't that good in this song. There isn't really any percussion. It was a little too loud and ear-killing (0:34)... But still, you put in a lot of fullness and it fit the name perfectly. The instrument choice wasn't too bad either. I think this'd sound better as a loop though, since the ending is too sudden to be a song and with too much silence to be a loop. Well, not that bad overall, but it is a little ear-killing in general. If you fixed the problems in this, I'm sure it'd sound great.

Computercrashx responds:

thanks for the thorough advice, I listen to music with really low volume so I did not realize it might hurt someone's ear at one point. Also I understand what you mean about the whole no percussion thing... but at the same time I feel like the song wouldn't be the same if I added more.

As for harmony I think really that just requires me working more on my music skills. But really I don't get much feedback so I am glad someone comments, thank you

Pretty good.

The man melody itself was quite catchy, you managed to stick it in my head >:( . Percussion was well done, although the clap was really overused. It was pretty repetitive though. It needs more fullness to it, as well. Even the ending was pretty strange. Still, it's catchy, I can't get it out of my head, so I guess I'll give you

Pezmobile responds:

XD I started this series last year so i wasn't that good back then that's why it's so repetitive. And i can see how the clap gets annoying after awhile.

[Cluster - Green Hill Remix]

Cool!

Man, I love Green Hill Zone. This remix isn't too bad either. A few notes were missing, but the instruments weren't that bad, if not too high pitched in some parts. The percussion was pretty good, and the effects weren't too bad either. It's just the ending which was a little off. It ended too suddenly, and there was too much silence after that. Still, good remix to a good song. I understand this is your 6th song? If so, I'm really impressed. Keep it up!

ClusterLaw responds:

Thanks alot! Yeah I know it's not 100% accurate, but I kind of like the undefined pitch errors ;) I chose to go a different direction with the bass aswell, and I think it worked out great.

Not really my 6th song, only my 6th uploaded song. I am currently working on a Megaman Wily Stage remix aswell thats going to be kind of like this. Very glad you liked it. All the best!

[Last Chance to Live]

A little strange...

The instruments weren't that varied and the percussion was very simple. Just a clap happening every 2 beats. The choice of instruments were quite strange, and didn't quite a fit in with the name much. In some parts though, it was quite catchy, and it wasn't that repetitive either. I'd suggest making the percussion louder, and either changing the name or changing the instruments. Even the ending was a bit too abrupt, so you could try turning it into a proper loop. Still, good job on it.
Oh, and I agree with Berto. FL Studio is awesome, you should really get it. Well, whatever, not a bad song overall.

farno1 responds:

Yeah it is kinda weird. For the name of the song, I couldn't think of anything quick cuase I had a regents exam to go to. I'm very new to FL and have hardly any experience in music that much anyway. (I'm only 14)

[Flying house]

Nice job :)

I really liked the percussion in this one. It was a little repetitive in some parts, but it was well done. The reverse cymbal was a nice touch to the song. It does repeat itself quite a little though. The bass was very catchy but didn't change much throughout the song. The effects in this song were quite good, though, but all in all, the song was a little strange. The beginning was a little stupid, and the ending was plain wierd. The choice of instruments were kind of strange too, and the voices were a little unnecessary and strange. Still, it's a good song, quite catchy, keep it up.

Thanks!

[DBox]

Nice job!

Hey, why'd you call this a "song"? This is a song, not a "song". It rocks, very good job on it. I liked the beginning a lot, the kicks were really cool, and the melody itself is extremely varied. The drum beat in the song was quite varied as well, and the build up at 0:46 was pretty cool. I still think you overused the kick a little in the song, and the ending was pretty strange, since it stopped too suddenly, and there was too much silence after that. It was pretty short, too. Well, whatever, awesome song in all. Keep it up :).

wow.. hey thanks!!.. ^^

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Airflow]

Superb!

Great job on it. It's very catchy, and the tempo change at 1:50 was fantastic, as always. The drums were slightly too loud in my opinion. Still, it's really catchy, and amazing overall. Good job with the ending, it fit in nicely with the name. The whole song is really well done. Reminds me both of Chaoz Fantasy and a little of Metropolis too. Good job!

ParagonX9 responds:

Hey Supersteph54 !
thank you very much!
I think you are right with the drums being abit too loud.
I was also worried about that. I might still want to fix this,
thanks for reminder. And for the review!

[Zeviron - Foward Motion]

Not bad... :)

A catchy tune overall, and the bass was great. Even the percussion was awesome. A little strange in the beginning, since you barely heard anything, and the percussion sort of jumped in at 0:33 louder then the percussion before it, and much louder than the bass at the beginning. You should make the drum beat gradually get louder. The main tune is really cool though, and I don't think there's much to change. By the way, really good job on it if you really made it in two hours. Lol, even I make my songs in a few hours. Anyway, overall great job.

Zeviron responds:

haha, thanks a bunch :D
I had to make it around that much time because otherwise the melody would have pretty much leaked from my brain. That would be bad times!!
I didn't really notice the jump in the drums unil you just staed that... So i'll get that sorted out as soon as possible
And thanks again for the review :D

[~BH~ Now]

Whoa.

Alright, in the review I did for your song Cloud Skating, you asked for long reviews, so be prepared :P.
So, where to start... OK, we'll start with the most obvious. This is out of this world! Every microsecond of it rocked. If someone covers their ears to this song, they'd be the craziest persons on Earth and I'm sure they'd regret it for the rest of their lives. It's varied very well, and the choir voices in it were awesome. I liked the way it started too, with the sweep in the beginning, the crescendo and the flute. I really liked the piano as well in it. It kept the fast-paced rythm of the songs, and left me amazed at the same time. The solo at 0:50 was really well done and as catchy as ever. The flute added even more greatness to this song too, and the loud kick in it fit in quite well. Good job on it. What program did you use to make the kick? Anyway, good job immensly on the song, it's great.

ErikMcClure responds:

The kick is actually a modified version of an underwater thud that was recorded some years back and has puzzled scientists ever since, because it was heard by hundreds of undersea microphones, two of which were over 30 miles apart. I took the recording, cut out the static, then edited it and turned it into a kick for the song :P

Thanks for the review!

[~BH~ Cloud Skating]

Amazing in all ways. Even the name...

This is definetely one of my favourite songs from the ones you did. The piano was great in this, and so was the solo in 1:36. Awesome job with the buildup from then on, and the percussion was the exact speed and loudness. By the way, Cloud Skating is an epic name for a song like this. If I had to hear it and didn't know the name, this is exactly what I'd think of. The instrument at the beginning that continuously plays till the end gave the figure of the skates moving forward and backwards. The piano represented the clouds, for sure, the drum beat represented the huge speeds being built up and the flute represented... OK... I have no idea, but it came out awesome anyway. I really can't find anything wrong in this song. It's perfect, just like all your other songs. Keep up the good work, looking forward to your next song :). Sorry for the long review, I really should start shortening them.
