[Just Begun]

Amazing.

Hadn't really taken the time to leave a comment, but it's about time I did. Your music is truly inspiring, you're one of the best artists this site has ever heard. Your song's so emotional and beautiful, one can easily tell how you felt when you wrote this. Getting a review from you would be an honor.

[Why can't we be happy WIP]

Very good.

I can tell you wanted to give this song emotion and whatnot, but the ending wasn't very good, perhaps because the piano's volume was too low or enough emphasis wasn't given on some notes, I don't really know. Composition-wise, it's excellent though. However, 2:41 sounds offkey to me.

[Midnight Strike]

Nice :D

Would fit an RTS like Command and Conquer perfectly, love the composition of this track. It's a nice blend of different instruments. Great way to finish the song after 1:10, keep it up ;D

Care to check out my latest track, "Winter Without Her WIP" please?

[.X. SadnesS]

Very good for your first song.

Nice use of pads and choirs. The beat got drowned by the other sounds though =/

Could have made it longer as well, but otherwise, it's pretty good for your first song.

Check out my latest song, "Winter Without Her" if you have time please :3

XenoxX responds:

Thanks a lot for the Review

[Apologize dance (unfinished)]

Pretty good.

Very simple saw melody, but good nevertheless. Love the beat as well. Hope you finish this soon.

Care to check out a song I just released, .:Wherever She Is FULL:. please? :3

[Chinese Dance Machine 2- F-777]

Speechless O:

Beautiful track, very melodic and well-composed. Love the instruments and effects you used. I don't really see anything wrong, it's really good ^ ^ Great dance track.

Thanks for checking out my WIP by the way. Full version's already out :3

F-777 responds:

Thanks for the review.

[[W] Motion [Full]]

Not bad.

The melody's decent, there's room for improvement. Also, you should try making more than 1 melody/ The major problems are the instruments you chose, specially the bass. Sounds too distorted and plain, should make it deeper with some effects. The instruments you used for the beats were ugly too. You could make this song better by fixing all those things, keep it up ;D

Mind checking out a WIP I just released? It's called ".:Wherever She Is WIP:."

[][ Purity ][]

Repetitive indeed.

But the tune's very catchy :D

Keep it up.

[Nothing Else Matters In Church]

Beautiful.

'nuff said? Not quite. It's a great cover, but did you just grab a midi and replaced the tracks with good synths or did you actually rewrite the whole song again?

While I don't doubt that you have skills, knowing that you did the latter thing would be reassuring, considering you can't really take all the credit for grabbing someone elses' midi and touching it up without giving proper credit (which I have yet to see)

Either way, kudos to you. Great cover.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. Yeah, I did grab a midi of this, I'm not certain who's. It was horribly done, and I ended up rewriting 95% of it, using MY guitar as a guide. The drums are 100% mine. As there was no percussion in the original midi. The "vocal" line was the only one that stayed more than 50% original midi. Even it needed a fairly sizable overhaul.
It would have been easier for me to do the thing from scratch, hindsight being 20/20. Had I left more of the original midi in there, I would have given more credit to the midi maker. But they sucked.
I don't like doing that with midis either...I've been a strong advocate against it. I see so many people doing that, making the songs sound like total shit. I did it, to prove with some actual "music" knowledge, you can make a midi sound better than whatever else you will find on this site.(as far as midi plagiarism goes). haha. More people do it, than you think. So to everyone else...if you ARE going to use a midi and just replace the instruments. Do it so it sounds better than or different (but still good) from the original version.

Anyways, thanks for the cool review.\m/

[And Then There Was Nothing...]

Heh...

Good ol' FL Slayer being used again...

I wrote a small post about it on my profile sometime ago, might wanna read it. The song's too short and there's no build up, you should practice and experiment more with FL. Decent start though, keep practicing.

Stickfire responds:

Thanks. I'll take a look at that post.
