[F-777 Flip the disc (Disco)]

back to the disco age

yeah time to use the cheesy sounds on your music program. I have tons of them too. Good to know we can actually use them to make a decent song. Your trancy like bass with the hard kick may not have been in the disco age, but the higher pitch sounds sure could be. Sounds a bit like disco techno. You got the harmonies going. I like how you ended the song with that long echo. That zipper sound is so cheesy...makes me feel happy. :) The base line seems to be constant so that keeps the mood of the song intact. Too bad that organ like sound is brief. Did you use alot of special fx or put alot of "glide" to make that rising up and down feel? Constructively made well. Basic stuff sounds good too. Thank goodness for trance synths. Suggestions? Well not pertaining to this song since it sounds good. Others will like it, but you know me. I like to see more complex composition. 5/5 vote, 10/10 review and 10/10 for cheesy factor. Bye for now

F-777 responds:

Thanks! No i didnt use FX i use the slide tool in Fl studio.

[Ultimate Basshunter Song Remix]

yeah sorry

Sorry for the late review. Bit busy with stuff. So you made a remix. I never heard of the ultimate basshunter song. Sounds pretty good. Sounds jumpy and almost happy despite the use of bass. Lots of instruments were used, but I'm sensing some repetitiveness. That jumpy sound with the bass comes again and again. Maybe if there was vox then I could handle the repetitiveness. Maybe I just expect too much diversity in every song. I'm not sure about that high pitch sound. Not sure if that ties in with the song. With everything going, the background support sounds almost industrial. And yes back to the jumpy stuff again. I know it isn't your fault since you just did the remix so whoever make the original song tell him to make his future stuff with more variety rather than just changing the synths, pads, etc. around. Besides that you did a great job collab. The fault is just the beginning where the speakers fuzz just for a moment. So 5/5 voting and 9/10 review cause a remix...not something you made from scratch.

x-Exodus-X responds:

thanks for the review! i have no idea what you mean by the jumpy sound, if you could explain in more detail it would be nice. and as for the high pitched sound, were you talking about the opening string? i agree about the diversity, as a good friend of mine said, "it doesnt really go anywhere". the fuzz is because of the major qulaity reduction because of the newgrounds 4000kb litmit. thanks for the 5 too! see you around the audio portal.

[Exploding Desire]

You want reviews?

Well I think you need to review more songs. Don't expect ppl to review your songs if you don't review. So umm exploding desire gives me the impression of constipation. Not the best name I'd say for your song. Starts good. I like that bouncy soft sound in the background. The introduction of the drums is not the best. Once the kick came in than the drums fit better. I think what you did with this song is just play one pattern and add something. Play for a while. Add one more thing. PLay for a while....etc. This makes the song drag on for too long. If you changed up the rhythm than sure it would be better. Also the composition should change...notes wise. That bouncy sound is like playing the same stuff for almost the entire song. The explosion sounds also don't fit well. Only 2 explosions and later a splatter of explosions at the end? Not that much explosion. So umm yeah. Now time for you to review more. Only 8 reviews? You can start adding more by reviewing my song "system override" :) Okay so 5/5 and 9/10 review. Bye for now

[F-777 Symphonic dreams]

Okay rev

So yeah I've been busy lately for the last week. Sorry for the late review. Too bad you lost the file. You could still add onto it though...just redo everything. I like that string violin or is that viola? Brings out the emotion. The only problem with this song is that the harmonies are repeating the same pattern. I'm not sure if your going to finish this or not, but if you do change things up a bit more. Keep the violin though. I like it. 5/5 vote and 9/10 review since sounds like a loop and I guess not the full version. Gotta leave room for a 10 for the full version. Bye for now

F-777 responds:

ya im going to redo it and ya your right the background needs changing...Ya its a violin...thanks man for the awesome review...i would say more but im really depressed right now, i wont see my best friend for a least a year or 2...So see ya later im going to start working on the song...

[Karco -- Falling Farther --]

Classical

Well classical is usually soothing so looks promising to make my head feel better. I'd say that piano sound is quite overpowering to the strings (I think??? are they strings?) The drums are interesting. Sound like they are tom tom drums and have a marching band kind of feel. Since the piano is showing an emotional part of the song, the drums don't fit perfectly. Maybe jazzy drum sets would have been better with the soft brushes hitting the cymbals. The piano composition is well thought of. Looks like your expanding on this project. I'm not sure what tips I can give you when expanding this song. Maybe your new section can have the flowing chords (like appreggios) instead of chords where all the notes making up that chord are pressed at the same time. This song sounds like minor key. So overall a good start. 5/5 vote and 9/10 review. Gotta leave room for a 10 for the full version. Bye for now

Karco responds:

Well, I doubt I'm going to be posting a full version, but I'll definitely keep that advice in mind... :)

The full version's pretty much already finished. It's been finished for a few days and this piece of it doesn't at all do it justice.

I'm no expert at all with orchestral drums... but you apparently know more than I do. So I'll refer to this review especially if I plan to expand on the drums. :D

I agree the piano's well done, it's some of my best... and I like your idea with arpeggios, and I think it just might work in the song.

Well, thanks for the review, Music-story. Thanks for the high voting, too... glad you like it. :)

[First Rave]

oh really?

Well I also made my 1st rave called "system override". However mine is in the dance genre. Funny...it doesn't sound rave like. Sounds like the song was played in a big colisium. It's a bit repetitive. I like that perky high pitch pad you use later in the song. Gives the happy feel. Lots of harmonies are going at once which is difficult to do so great job. Since your 1st rave and 1st song on NG than I give you a great score. 5/5 voting and 10/10 review. This should be in the dance genre though. Bye for now

[To Heaven]

review

Whenever someone uses "heaven" in their song I get dragged into hearing it. I love heaven like songs. That high pitch sound is a little annoying on the ears. It's also playing some notes I have no clue are. Sounds all meshed together. I think you meant "we're going to heaven" in your description.

Okay so the song has a gradual buildup. Good job on that. That one pad or is that the drums? sounds disco age which I think is cool. Not sure if others might think that. I may be imagining this but one of your harmonies sounds off key. Near the end of the song where you have those two pads going is where I think the off key part is. I wouldn't say this is a heaven song. Feels more like the game F-zero and I'm racing through some crystal or icy cavern. Okay so 5/5 voting and what the heck...I'll keep your review score perfect at 10/10 too. Bye for now

[Awakening of Crepth]

okay :)

Hmm, you say loop in your description. I like diverse stuff but oh well. Listening time....
First off I love the part with lots of staccatos. Nice bass you got going. The only lil mistake is some of the bass plucks have a bit of fuzziness. However I blame that on NG limiting us to only 4 mb song files. Your techno actually not the calm easy listening style. I've heard much softer kinds. The hard bass gave it the more serious stuff. This song reminds me of video game music. The pad that sounds digital gives it the video game flavour. What is Crepth? I know it's part of your alias name but that's about it. I just realized you used the tambourine...or sounds like a tambourine. That's your drum section? Rarely do I ever see that as the lead percussion section. Sure I can hear a "kick" sound also supporting the song. Very original on choosing your drums. So first submission on your new account should be a big event. :) So 5/5 vote and 10/10 review. Again my only suggestion is to tone that bass in the staccato part cause that's when the fuzz comes in. Bye for now

Neon-Crepth responds:

thank u once again for the complementing review!i somewhat noticed what u were talking about with the bass being fuzzy but i think it was in fact the kick that was too loud...my fault. the tambourine you were referring to wasnt a tambourine at all actually, it was a snare with a weird kind of hi hat in the back. i think this song is a little bit more easy listening than some of my others, but i get where you're coming from. i glad you liked the digital sound and the staccato part.( that digital thing was i think maxidst in the wasp panel)

thx again for the review and 5/5 and 10/10! ill be sure to review some more of your songs too. PS. crepth doesn't mean anything really, i just thought it sounded cool, lol.

[250 Color Hero]

Wrong

The score I gave you was 5. Someone else gave you a 3. (I'm referring to your "bouncing till the bounce stops". This is different. Where is the cute music style? Getting more serious I see. All your songsa are too short. Make a full length song. No clue why this song is called 250 color hero. I like the beat of this song. A bit dancy. The ending sucks though. I didn't find the song annoying and yes I did enjoy it. So yeah whatever is messed up with the ending where there is silence and some quiet popping sound keeps coming...get rid of that. So umm 5/5 voting and 9/10 review. Bye for now

mooseymaniac responds:

Oh cool... thanx for the 5 then! If you have listened to my 21 songs... no wait... theres twenty... most of them are actually pretty serioous, I do have a few "cute" ones that I throw in at random because I'm bored though :)
The end was a glitch that I didn't notice till after I had subbmitted it. And I don't know how to fix it, but I guess you'l just have to stop it and play it again if you wanna hear it loop. Thanx for the review! I appreciate it.

[Hi-Phonic Rose Pedals]

What I think

I can sense something is floating to the ground with all those almost rain drop sounding notes. This is a wierd song. Far from the usual so originality is 10/10. The low rumbling drum gives the impression an army is coming. That high pitch fuzzy sound is cool, but a strange way to end the song. Hmm so I don't know what suggestions I can make. I've never heard a song like this before. So 5/5 voting and just to be safe a 10/10 review. Bye for now
