[Stars - G Hook]

Interesting...

I like this, but its a little out of the ordinary. You're changing the key so often (The arp and bells seem to mix minor keys with major ones frequently in the melody) that it sounds like its... fluctuating... a little too much. At parts it sounds fantastic, the bells and piano give a really nice atmosphere to the piece. It is quite repetitive, it sounds like it could be background music in some kind of point and click mystery game or maybe in a credit sequence.
Anyway, the song itself is very well done. It sounds professional and clean, its just the thing about the keys that I mentioned earlier thats getting to me a bit.
Great song, thiugh! :P

Oh and, my 500th music review. Yay :D

ghook responds:

Hmmmmm. I don't think it is changing key. The Sequence is C---/CMaj7---/Bb---/F---/F/A---/F9/A-
-
-/Bb---/F--- so it is in F Major starting on C.

FYI the bell sound is a Vibraphone, which is a percussion instrument. I sampled it myself, cause you can't seem to find anything decent on the net (that doesn't have spyware in it).

[Streamline Genesis]

Jesus

Youre too good at this ;D
Percussion was great, that little beepy thing fitted very well into the mix considering.
The bass was awesome.
uh..

blackduckie responds:

why thank you good sir

I was worried the beep might get a bit too repetitive; is that what you're "considering"?
Also, the bass was made in Sytrus, loosely based on the PWM Saw preset, except I remade it from scratch.

[Better Off Alone [Remix]]

Fantastic

I've never heard the original, but I really liked this. The piano and synths were fantastic and I liked the melodies. My only critism is that it deserves more bass, or at least some stronger pads or something. I also dont like the volume of the hat at 00:42ish, it could be toned down a bit, and that in the latter half of the song it sounds a little cluttered and less ordered than it does nearer to the start. I'd give you a 9/10, but I like it too much.

Check out some of my music if you get the time ;D

[Strings of Time]

Relaxing..

I would give this a 10, but I feel it needs a bit of EQ work regarding the piano and pluck-string riff you used at the start. Taking away a fair bit if the reverb (if you used any) could help a fair bit, I think.
Getting to the positive, I love the melodies. They all mix in flawlessly and melt into something that I really enjoy listening too. The piano is really, really awesome. Love it.

[[Alpha-Nuva] L's Mansion]

Interesting...

I strongly dislike that main lead you used, it sounds susicously close to an FL default patch... but the melody itself and overall layout of the song isnt that bad. You probably could have made it far more complicated and a little deeper and complex.
It sounds a bit wierd to me honestly, but you know. Its not bad :3

[Last One Standing (Remasted)]

Damn

If your transitions were just a bit faster, this would be friggen perfect. The melodies are very, very awesome. Love the synths, love the percussion, the bass is good. Its just a bit slow moving if you ask me.
Its not repetitive, really, though. I like it, I like it :3

my futures will be better and all thoughts from the ng community will be put in!
thanks anyway for the support!

[Fully Charged]

Simplicity...

This song is incredibly simple, but sounds rather professional at the same time... to a degree. It is, however, quite repetitive and lacks strong pads or heavier bass to fill in the gaps. It sounds a little empty if you ask me.
The percussion and synths and melodies were quite good though, I congratulate you on that.
If there was one bleedingly obvious point to work on, it would be repetition. Try to change the main melody a little more often and into something a little more complex.

mattuiop responds:

Thanks, well ive almost finished my new verson of this tune and I garante, it will have fix all though issues! thanks for the support though!!! :D

[Everbeat]

Not bad, not bad :3

I love that fadey synth, it really melts into those strings. The percussion is a little generic and the song overall lacks a bit of complexity, but I like it.
I quite like it :)

Goosebox responds:

i acknowledge and thank you for your criticism and for your rating. the reason i kept the generic percussion and the simplicity of the song, was because sometimes the best sounding music is the simplest.

[[Incomplete] The Light Side]

As I said to you a few days ago..

I think it needs a tad more bass. The beginning til the first build up flows very well, but past there you seem to have lost motivation or something and things dont fit as well. Im not saying it doesnt sound good... It sounds fantastic. One of the most proffessional sounding songs out there, its just a little light compare to your other work... which I think is one of the reasons I like it.

HNI responds:

yup, wayy out of my comfort zone here, but i did make a big effort to develop this song for a more mainstream audience. Thankyou
