[where do we go from here?]

I don't think I need to say anything more than what's been said by other people. But I'll say this.

I'm
Loving
This
Song!

Thank you for making this.

johnfn responds:

Thanks dude! I appreciate you taking the time to write a review :)

[Blue Expanse]

338 views and the score is still 5/5, and I believe that the trend should continue. Everything is tight, airy, light, and beautifully put together. Love your work.

Thanks dude

[-DreamTide-]

It's so nice. All I keep imagining over and over again is some anime girl just relaxing underneath a tree looking at the blue sunny sky. There's seagulls flying around since she's close to a beach, and there isn't a care in the world. It also slightly reminds me of the days when I was playing Maple Story years ago.

My only complaint is that the claps are too much and are a little distracting.

But - sigh - I like listening to this (as it's looping again).

Inspirational

Geoplex responds:

Haha, thanks. I'm not sure about the claps, this is a fairly weak mix actually so they might be too much comparatively, but i feel so obligated to conform to the loud percussion that dominates the EDM genres.

You might be right, though :P

[PhysMus - Careful]

Hey I here you and share the same problem with university studies. My only complaint I have about the song so far is that the loop doesn't feel completely natural. I don't know how to describe it other than that. Are you using a real bass and drums? They sound good.

Solid 4 stars in my opinion.

empire00 responds:

Real bass with artificial drums (a.k.a. samples).

[Activation]

I like this piece. I like how you're organizing your harmonies into the minor chords and it sounds great. With the clipping I suggest two things (since I'm assuming you're using FL).

(1) Using the Fruity Limiter is great at stopping the clicking if you know how to use it (Youtube helps a lot with this).
(2) I also suggesting adding each of your instrument into the mixer to control the volume a bit (instruments, tracks, plugins, generators... I haven't figured out what to call them). Also in the mixer is where you can add a lot of different types of FX as well.

I'm still trying to figure out all of the in's-and-out's to FL as well. I've been using it for about a year now and I'm still finding out new Keyboard shortcuts and other applications that really make the music pop.

Don't take the criticism too hard though, I gave you a 4 and that shows that I like how this piece is going.

ikitty2 responds:

Thank you so much for your advice :) I'll definitely be checking out how to use the Fruity Limiter since the clicking has always been a problem I've had at some point or another and I never knew how to fix it. I've also tried playing with the mixer before, but wasn't very successful with it so I'll play around with that some more, too. Again, thank you for your help, it's really great to get some useful info and I'm glad you took the time to share it with me. :) I'll keep working on improving my music so please come back and feel free to critique any new stuff I post in the future.

[Bleeding Mercury]

I was surprised at about 0:48. I like what you've done with this. However somewhere in the 1:30 section it sounds like a couple of the kicks are just slightly off time with each other and playing twice. Either that or it's clipping. Either way this is a good song to listen to and I think you've done a good job with it.

Rock on

Kreyowitz responds:

Hmmm I was listening to that section, and I think I can hear what you are talking about, i'll have to go and see if I can fix that, because I know it's not off, but clipping sounds VERY plausible.

Thank you for the Review, it is very much appreciated, and I wish you well, good sir.

[H S N Techno Metal (Preview)]

Definatly has potential though

I do agree with the guy below me, but since this is a preview, you can put in a little more. I really do like how it starts, and the feel that it has after the intro. Keep that feel up, and change the chord progression a few times, and I think you'll have a good song to compete with.

djresset responds:

thanks

[Field of Flowers]

I've never really been into new wave music...

But, this is not bad. I do have to note that the bass isn't heard too well, even with my sub woofer for my computer. It does bring across a feeling of jittery happiness, and it makes me think of ah warm, bright, June day with bright colors glimmering all around. Good job though.

GV14982 responds:

Yeah I agree the bass is a little low. Sadly I can't really fix it, I accidentally deleted the file. :( Thanks for listening, though!
