[sorcery of the mind]

Okay your 1st review

First off the song has no sound which means I had to ddl it to listen to it. Yeah I can sense the techno sounds. When that leading synth comes in...it sounded cool. Had a great rhythm but unfortunately it is only in small parts of the song. :( It ends very abruptly too. Your transitions need to be more gradual. If your music program sucks and have no "fills" or good percussion to make smooth transitions than hold onto the last note and while holding that last note play the other stuff. So because your first review I give you 5/5 voting. If your wondering why ppl aren't voting for your songs....2 reasons
1. You have to make a public profile so ppl can access your music easier.
2. A lot of ppl are selfish and only like their songs to be reviewed and never review other peoples stuff.

Fortunately there are some ppl on NG who just love to review other ppls stuff. I'm one of them so if you ever want reviews to your future songs than by all means PM me many many times. I can also tell you in the PM which ppl you should ask to give you great reviews. Oh also what helps is to review other peoples stuff alot so they will return the favour. Bye for now and as always enjoy making music.

[.:.6:.]

strange title

Well this sounds very ambient. Maybe a little too much. Usually a song is made with the sounds, but yours isn't really a song. Has that creepy kind of feel. So why did you call this song 6? I don't know how to review this song so umm yeah 5/5 voting and 8/10 review. Bye for now

RedHotPoker responds:

Lol theres never to much ambiance. And the reason i number my titles is that id rather people create images in there mind for them selves not have me dictate what they hear. Thanks for the review.

[- Slow Motion -]

Okay review then

Kinda calm trance with piano. Nice. I like that. The clapping loop kinda gives the hip hop feel. The guitar has a catchy rhythm. I'm not sure if the piano is playing the same notes as the guitar when it does a solo. Ohh two types of pianos going at once. The song is a bit repetitive and sounds like it loops. However to sum everything up, I enjoyed the song. Very relaxing and trance is supposed to repeat anyway so I guess I can't say anything about diversity. A good change from the loud trance styles so common on NG. 5/5 voting and 10/10 review. I just feel like this song can fit in the classical genre too. Bye for now and as always enjoy making music.

[Amazing Grace (Insane Iguana)]

Umm how many ?

You really love amazing grace. Too many though and I really can't tell much of a difference in any of them. Very short, good playing but it all comes down to you didn't compose this song. I can't give you a 10 because not your and not a 9 cause so short its like a loop. Try something new next time. New song, your own composition and you know what I mean. 5/5 voting keeping your score at 5 and 8/10 review. Bye for now

MrIguana responds:

Thanks. There actually are 8 different piano parts, but you can't tell because it's a lot of arpeggiation and the volume control in finale sucks, so that explains the clutter and the blah. It was for a Music Theory project that I got a 97/100 on. Thanks for the review.

[It Was Fun (Original Concept)]

Sweet..yeah cute and mellow

1930s hmm my music history sucks so I have no clue how 1930 music sounded like. I just know 1950 new music style sucked with john cage stupid song. Its cute and the cello plucking I think is great being on the left speaker. Lots of plucking going on which gets the song feeling perky and jumpy. I'm usually very lenient on diversity for classical since beethoven and all those other famous musicians had such repetitive music it pissed me off sometimes. :) So I actually didn't know the rule for panning in orchestra music until I read the previous review. I guess we all learn something new everyday. Overall a 5/5 voting raising your 4.25/5 to something. We will see. Oh and why you didn't get a 10 on originality is because for some reason some parts of your song sound like zelda ocarina of time. I know it wasn't intentional I think but hey originality = new. Sorry but you got your 5/5 so still good. Bye for now

Soundshifter responds:

thx a lot dude, you are right, it was koji kondo/nintendo inspired. and i wanted it to be theatrical. thx a lot for the review :)

[Mrs. Sharrar]

Hey quite good for NG standards

A rare song where someone made a song completly from scratch along with the vox. Nice job. The voice seems lazy though. The singer sounds tired or something. More emotion in the voice maybe next time? The guitar is nice along with the drums. The little kids voice in the background seems off timed. Who is Mrs. Sharrar? Your friend? Teacher? co-worker? So 5/5 voting. Just fix the voice and the kids :D Bye for now

[Will2Stand]

I see your new to making music

Like the vox speech. Be able to stand ehh? Requires work...certainly. A bit empty song. I like when you add the bell like sound. Sounds cute and mellow. Your music is very original from other technos on NG. So 10/10 on that category. I think some better connections in the song is needed. Seems like there is a pause just before the vox speaks. Maybe I'm imagining it. So since your second song I like to start ppl in a good start. 5/5 voting and 9/10 review. Bye for now and always enjoy making music.

[Nova (DemoEdit) (TR-Records)]

Remix I suppose of Daniel Kandi track

Sounds better than the other Nova song. Starts cool with that atmosphery sound. You really need to make your songs from scratch so your name can be on the track...not as the remix artist. Do you make remixes for TR records as a job or are you hoping to submit it to them which they may accept or not? I guess if you are a hired remix artist than I guess remixing songs all the time isn't so bad. You say you uploaded the full version but at the same time it is a demo? Well good remixing skills. I'll wait for your future songs made from scratch (my terms mean you make the notes and rhythm, no ddl loops or use of soundfont, and any other ddl programs where you can borrow other ppl stuff cept drums of course). Love them drums. So 5/5 vote which won't change your current score and a 9/10 review. I save the 10/10 for you know what. Bye for now

Pulstate responds:

Cheers mate, i had a great original in line, but my computer just can't handle the amount of stuff i'm using, like reverb, eq, compressors, etc.

It's annoying, but i need to be calm.

Thanks for the great review.

[LoZ-Ocarina Medley for Piano]

Question

A well done classical song however....you didn't make this did you? By the sound of the previous reviews it looks like this song was made by someone else and you basically are just playing it again. Tell me if I'm wrong and I'm really sorry if you really did compose everything...meaning the notes, rhythm, no ddl loops, no ddl anything, just you and your keyboard with some mastering with the music program. Particular emphasis on "Soundfont" which is really for people who can't make their own music. So you have really good ears to play a song just by listening to it many times. I can tell what notes are played separately by ear but when many chords are going than my ears are useless. Kudos to you for your musical playing talent...and well vigorous clapping if you composed the song. If not well than clapping for whoever made the song. So 5/5 voting but 9/10 review. If you made it than imagine my 9 turning to a 10. Bye for now

Setu-Firestorm responds:

"LoZ" is the acronym for "Legend of Zelda". These pieces (seperate of course) were originally composed by the composer for that game. However, in this recording, I composed a piano medley of the pieces. To answer you directly, this was played by me on my keyboard fed into my laptop running through an orchestral VSTi on a Piano patch setting, and I applied the compression and mastering.
Secondly, soundfonts are simply a MIDI function that allows for the use of instrument sounds seperate from the tradition General MIDi patches; they have nothing to do with loop-based recording or arpeggiators -- just to clarify on that.

Music is in my blood and I solemnly uphold the sense of true music composition without having to resort using copies of others' work to call my own; even when I compose a rendition of someone else's music, I am sure to treat it the same as I would treat my own original work.

Thanks for the review.

[Aim & Fire--_--]

Hmm

Well sounds good. I think I've heard this rhythm before...actually many times. Maybe you haven't but that could just be me who listened to alot of music. So I guess good idea but its been done before. Whatever this MAC7 competition is good luck in it. Hope you win. :) So suggestion is maybe instead of using that fuzzy like sound which almost every trance artist uses on NG, try and bring something unique to the table. I'm getting sick of listening to trance with that fuzzy background sound. 5/5 voting and bye for now
