[MH16: Happy Loop]

Great job!

No honestly, this is really good. Awesome job with the piano and the bells were great. The percussion was a little simple. You seem to use FL Studio if I'm hearing right, lol. Anyway, it looped properly, and I really liked it. The name could use a little work, though, but apart from that, the song was great. You should add more instruments, but as it is, it's great. Good job, keep it up.

FairSquare responds:

Well, this isn't really a serious submission so i used the standard FL samples for the percussion :P
And about the name... do you have any suggestions? :P I couldn't really think of a name myself.
Thanks for the review! :-)

[Run Faster]

Some parts are strange, but really good anyway.

I liked the reverse cymbal, and the drums were awesome. The effects were really cool as well, and the bass rocked. It was still pretty strange in some parts, for example: 0:23, and then after, the song went sort of calm, which didn't really fit in with the feel of the song. At 0:41, it was pretty strange too, and didn't fit in with the rythm of the song. Still, apart from those queer parts, it's a really cool song. And if it's your second submission, I'm really impressed. Good job!

[Short Hip-Hip Loop]

Nothing too special...

The beeping instrument was a little annoying, and the percussion was just kicks and claps. The background instrument fit in very well though, and it loops perfectly. You should try and make it longer, but still, not too bad as it is.

Thanks for the review!

[Falling Boy]

WOW, amazing!!

Man, you rock. There are very few classical songs which I enjoy, but this was awesome. The instruments had a very good quality, and it fit the story completely. I'd suggest adding sound effects of birds churping in the first part, rocks falling in the beginning of the second part and wind soaring by at the beginning of the third part, but this song is great anyway. Good job with the tempo change, and the ending was amazing. Not many songs on NG finish that greatly. You really rock, I can't believe this musical masterpiece took you only one day. This really cool, keep it up!!

Bas3008 responds:

Thanks man :D Adding a few sound effects is a nice idea, I'll look for some suitable effects and add them :)

[Simpler Times]

Awesome!

A lot of fullness in it, and somehow you managed to fit the name perfectly with the song. The main melody is very catchy, and awesome. The percussion and bass were quite repetitve, but still very awesome. Very good effects, and in all very good song. The ending was quite bad, it ending way too suddenly, and there watoo much silence after. Still, awesome job on it, I really enjoyed it.

groovatron responds:

Thanks :)

I was considering a fade but didnt bother :)
I will change it coz i also need to get rid of some low end disotortion.

[black carnival]

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

[-]Orange Planet[-]

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)

[Walk It Off]

Whoa, quite good

It's quite catchy, has a ring to it and has a lot of fullness to it. The percussion was a little repetitive in some parts and was quite simple. Still, the song itself was really cool. I liked the harmony in this, all the instruments sounded perfect with each other, and the name fit in excellently with the song. Great job on it overall, keep it up :].
