[Distant Islands (WiP)]

Cool :)

Good job with the percussion, and the gutar was really cool. The melody was really cool, and the instruments chosen were pretty cool. They just didn't fit in with the name. Well, the guitar did, but when the electric instruments came in, it didn't really fit in with the distant feel that this song is supposed to have. at 1:16, when that high-pitched instrument came in, it was a little annoying and way too high pitched. I still liked the melody of it, and if it was a little lower pitched with the same melody, it would be great. The ending was slightly strange, but all in all it was a good song. Well, since it seems to be your second submission to NG, I'm really impressed, so I'll give you:
8/10
5/5

Thanks for your review, i really couldnt think of a name so i though distant islands was good, and its too high pitched? hmm, well ill have a look at that and see what others think! I'll change it around a bit and see how it goes, im actually gonna put up a work in progress thing on this!

Thanks again!

[Kremlin Under Attack 8bit loop]

You, my friend, are an 8-bit MASTER

Very good job on this. The percussion was a little too simple, but the loop itself was perfect. It looped nicely, but you should try and think of a different name. Sorry I couldn't think of a suggestion, I'm hopeless at inventing 8-bit names. Still, good job, keep it up, can't wait to see your next 8-bit submissions!

oh, thx)

[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
