[~-Chrono Trigger-~]

Mhm ^-^

Some minor improvements can be made, definitely. But so far mesa like it~

Add some reverb to the piano and you'll be all set~

Cosmos8942 responds:

Glad you said so truthfully...even the score added up to about what I think it should be. I know that you will read this so please give me a hollar...I could use some help here as I seem to have something of an "composer's Block" right at the moment ><...but thanks for the review nevertheless, always liked your audio :).

[VI -Classic- Terra's Theme]

Nice Effort!

I enjoyed this quite much. Think I'll download it ^ ^
It was quite well balanced and full. The drums definitely added good to it.

I agree with 3rd Chord that it could be in a light military setting, or perhaps the preparations for a battle/war.

If you have any spare time, I'd be honoured if you dropped in ^ ^
WAY TO GO 4/5

Cosmos8942 responds:

O.O I thought I answered this one T.T....

Anyhow, I am glad you like it...every once in a while I am able to make something of decent quality :).

Thanks for the review, and pardon the short response length,

[Rock the Lullaby]

Not Bad!

I enjoyed it. Id definitely sounds like it has no actual base, 'cept perhaps Alternative Rock, but even then I am stumped ^ ^

In any case, good show. BTW I just finished one today you might like ;)

Kid2Will responds:

thanks surge ill check it out

[Guitar Hero Tribute]

Not bad...

But I can't say it's your best.

There were a few flaws, such as overall sound quality and Percussion problems. By which mostly I focus on the kick. The kick took over the whole piece 'cause it just kept goin', didn't change at all and was noisy.

Now, the Slayer is good and all, but I rarely think about putting more than 2 in one song and keep the notes at the least bit complicated 'cause the plugin just rips through the song when notes get complicated like solos or riffs.

Granted, I saw much effort in it, I just didn't know where you were going. The song seemed to lack direction...

3/5

Kid2Will responds:

yeah your right about most. the crackling actully isnt there when i play it on fl. its just the low quality i had to put it at to fit on NG =(. but yeah, this song had no direction i just felt like making it. and i missed slayer, so i pretty much got that outa my system =).anyway dude thanks for the review.

[-WritersBlock-River Voyager]

Nice

But not in my books as Ambience.

The tone is too aggressive and the drums are too complicated for it.

Despite this, It's a fine piece. The melodic strings were chosen very accurately and effort was spewing from it. Good show!

WritersBlock responds:

Ambience? I suppose you're right there, although the drums could have been a lot worse =P The reason I put it in ambience was because I didn't write this with focus on riffs and melodies, I did it to try and capture the movement and flow of rushing water in a river.

Cheers fro the review.

[Ice Rave {Ice Cap Remix}]

Clear Effort

This song is quite nice. I see a deal of work has been put into it as well.

Nice application of bass and synth to make it seem exactly like a winter setting.

Could use a small touch of drums and FX, though.

As for the rest I really enjoyed it. Thanks for the invite.

Kid2Will responds:

No Problem, you just remember to tell me when you have a new one out, thanks Surge

[Slim Alleyway]

Wow

For a small thing like this, it's really nice! The glock at the end was lil' cheesy, but still, man...

Good show.

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

hey thanks a lot dude. I didn't use a glock anywhere in here tho, haha...thanks a lot for the review!

[trees]

Cool

[Referred to by Advertisement]
Nice one.

I agree that the reeverb was lil' off but man that wasn't bad to begin with. Especially since I don't have a mic.

Very dark, perhaps controversial(trees)?

snoballandthmonyshot responds:

trees, how very controversial... those bastard trees, strapping bombs to em selfs, blowing up all those defenseless buildings...

[Space Hammock Part I]

Has Potential

Nice idea you got there. It wasn't very long for an Ambience track, but who's complaining? For someone who appears to have just gotten FL you are quite talented. Try looking around more in the "Generators" Plugin Section. There's more Sytrus than you can shake a drumset at in there.

You just need a lot of practice, like with everything.

Of course, I know this is the first part of your Space Race. I'll check ou the next one..

ThumperHill responds:

Thankyou for the constructive criticism. I really appreciate people trying to help instead of just bashing what I throw out there. Yeah, I'm really new to FL, and I'm still using the demo, so I finish products in a day, but I hope to buy it soon enough so that I can continue pumpin' out the music. Thankyou again,
~`Thumper

[SSBM Break the Targets Rock !!]

Critics...hmmm....

As for originality, it is a great piece.
I got your review invite and yes I got here. While I was downloading it I browsed reviews and noticed that not much was said on the actual Music. Music Theory, that is.

The intro had an inviting piano roll, just like the original. I began to anticipate a brilliant piece, for the Guitar sound(I have no idea where you got it from and I'm curious as to where) was pleasing and bassy.

But then... oh, woes... the timing was WAAY off. The synths were not playing cooperatively with the Guitar or the crashing cymbals. Plus, the sub-intro in between phrases sounded like it was recorded by a microphone to a megaphone! I abhor flaws like this in a song that is supposed to be really good according to the critics! I was led to believe that it was the ultimate and was utterly dissapointed as I see this as beating any of my newest songs by 400+ downloads...

Granted, I'm impressed to see you making such effort in such a song as this, but come on, man! Get a metronome or something and record the sounds in a more proper setting. The simplest things to fix were right under your nose, and that is why it's not very impressive.

Please consider these things in your future songs. I still have hope for you, man!

Gorekiller responds:

Off timing ? How did you noticed that ?I was certain nothin messed ... Yeah, I can hear that the timing is way off... a bit, though. Audacity metronom and the beatmachine's one don't have the same value of speed. That's why... I'm still workin' on projects ! Thanks for the encouragements, pal ! Don't worry ! I'll make songs till I can make it perfectly !
