[ven olo veyno]

It is so calm and soft! I like it how it progresses in different stages and changes slowly. And it is very long, 9 minutes! But no matter its length, I have to say that I could be listening to it in a loop. My favorite part is at 6:22.

selpi-ceina-leyna responds:

It is a fact that it advances through multiple stages, each differing from others. This is particularly due to the large time period in which it was made, namely, the composition and refinement of each smaller part was spread along a time period of one year, with work sessions well separated from each other.
For the specific part at 6:22 I have to give credit to my friend, a ksxkx player, for playing this short melody while exercising on the instrument, which drove me to think that it had to fit perfectly in this song, and indeed it did fit, causing me from that day to refer to that part as "Aurora's medley". I may sound extreme, but I believe that without it, the song would probably be half its current worth.

[Tetris WAR-ZONE]

Well good

It had lots of effects, but it lacked beat. Did you include kick & bass?

Cruzon63 responds:

No,only kick

[[Gloony] Galaxy]

Oh boy!

Yes, I like it! Pro song!
You've included plenty of fx. Nice part? 3:28 rocks. After that there are some melodies I also liked. Slowly progressing, not my style, but never mind, it's still very good. How much time did it take to complete?
...Who on earth is gonna vote 3 or less?!?

gloony responds:

Wow '^^, first, really thank's for the comment !

And I work on it about 78hours (and add some minutes)

[[67] Trixa]

hmm. wow.

Plenty of melodies, nice instruments, good drums, excellent combinations, and a powerful mix of feelings. What can I say? Err... please make more?

PS. "Trixa" or maybe "Triha" means "hairline" in Greek. :P

Axeraider67 responds:

thanks, man. :) haha, i didn't know that! XD

[[MiatriZz] - BoXinBoX]

nice

It was good, I liked it, but keep in mind to have the drums a bit more silenced - you see their volume prevented me from enjoying the melodies. Keep it up.

Miatriss responds:

Sorry ^ ^ I just really like loud drums. I know it's wrong. I will correct. Thank you)

[Punkmetalguy-from punk to funk]

What a drum

What I liked most was the drums. Good work.
Now, there are lots of points to be fixed , like that it's a bit repetitive, or the guitaring gets kinda (yes you know :) ) , and maybe it lacks some secondary melodies playing simultaneously. A good improvement in my opinion would be if you added a background sound, i.e. chorus... or a power slayer in your case.
I rated you 5/5 because some downrater I-wanna-shout-at has rated you 0/5, and the score went pessimistic. Don't worry, this track is worth more than 0/5. Most songs do.
It's good for a 4th song, keep it up.

punkmetalguy responds:

thanks man for the good rate and kind words:) i appreciate it. haha and yeah the drums took alot of time to get right:D yeah i felt like it was kidna missing something too when it was finished but i didnt add anything to it for some reason...
thanks for your nice words broo

[Metropolis Skies]

Nice for a first try.

Kinda calm style, I see.
Well, to be honest, what I first imagined from the beginning was actually the dull metropolis streets at night, and more accurately, the pavements. But apart from that the feeling is metropolitan.
Tips? Well, I've got some ideas for you. Try, at first, to include more secondary melodies, playing at the same time with the primary ones, somehow what you did at 1:39.
After that, try to change the melodies throughout time, so that it does not sound repetitive. i.e. The main melody plays from the beginning to the end of the song. If you used a different melody after about (at most !) 3 repetitions of the first one, the change would sound... interesting.
And, one more, try to include some melodies that use many different notes, one after another. For example. Your main melody sounds like this (just a guess:)
DDDDDDDD EEEEEEEE CCCCCCCC DDDDDDDD.
You could include, say, a melody playing at the same time, which sounds like this.
DADFEDED DADFEDE_ DADFEDED FEDCACD_ ( _ means sustain the last note). Maybe in lower volume, if necessary.

All in all, it is good for a first attempt.
The style reminds me of my first songs... so don't stop, keep it up and you'll slowly learn new tricks.
I'm awaiting to hear more from you.

NoirTiger responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I knew it was repetitive but couldn't think of much else to do so I just ended it. I'll be sure to add some alternate melodies.

[Halo Reach: Pillar of Awesome]

Wonderful.

What I like most is that orchestral feeling. Nice job.

Enzer0 responds:

Thanks!

i have added more strings to the original samples where i felt it needed a little lift, like the build at the end. Thanks for your review.
Glad you enjoyed it!

[C-4]

Nice one...

...well, it's pretty nice, fast-paced, with drums, lots of fx, background stuff, but I think that it should include much more secondary melodies, like what you did at 2:00 and after. Keep it up.

zatan responds:

Thanks man, thats exactly the reviews i need.

[My Mechanical Nightmares WIP]

Not just another dirty mix

This has lots of talent inside. Let me see:
Main Melody +3
Secodary Melodies +2
Sound FX +1
Drums +2
Variety +2
Total: 10/10 More than a plain demo; keep working on it!

aloneagainfriend responds:

Well now.... That, good sir, made me very happy. TY!
I love the way you added it all up... I've done that a time or 2. :P
