[5ive style]

o0o0o That is smoooooth

You guys play together really well, this flows realy well, I'm lovin it.

[Without a Ticket]

It's pretty smooth

I love the sax, you guys got skill. Kudos to who ever wrote that score to, it's really well done.

[Kinslayer (Intense)]

I concure

Much more agressive and powerful. Very cool synth riffs, esspecialy in the middle lik you said. Only thing is I whould go with a little less distortion on the synths.

Laikros responds:

Yeah, much better
And look! 4 5's in a row!

[The Darkening Sky]

It's a good start

First off nice work with the beat, do like, interesting melody to. It seemes like you used primarly pre-programed loops, which is ok. The ambiant effects are kinda cool, I whould ajust the levels though. Also play around with some of the effects I think a little reverb whould go a long way here.

[Break - Final Fantasy 7 DEMO]

Too distorted

Way to distorted. Kinda grimmy too, clean it up. The arrangement works pretty well, but as mentioned before it's kinda ear shattering.

arcanedragon-2004 responds:

I was going for the distortion, but its too distorted? Ah well, I'll come back to it someday and master it, I promise. Thanks for the review!

[Theme from Bloodrayne II]

You did a good job

This has a very nice arrangment to it, nice work with the strings. It sounds like a good movie soundtrack (hopefuly some flash artist will find it). Nice work on the melody.

[Courage for you]

This needs to be re-worked

The levels are not set correctly in this, you need to balence your instraments better. Also this does not qualify as industrial, it's way to down beat. It's also somewhat repetative. If you are going for the industrial style, add lots of reverb, and some distortion, guitar riffs too if posible. Lastly I whould add a stronger, faster beat.

onefish responds:

What does it qualify as then? So I can submit it to the right place. It seem Industrial enough to me. I agree that it is ''downbeat" but that is how it is written. Stronger faster beat? 150 bpm isn't fast enough?? I'm not going to rewrite this over one review(I don't even have the original score, it was lost a long time ago in a format, this was written in 2004), but a suggestion of where it belongs *could* be helpful.

[wind world]

A good start

There was one distorted synth in there that did not sound good at all. The drums worked pretty well though. You might want to add some light reverb to the dums. I whould also add some more ambiant sound effects as opposed to just synths. It's a great starts though.

[Drown It]

You got the rythem

The Drums were very well done. I whould have done a little more bass, it seems like the bass line only plays a single note, and mabey a bit less with the synths although they do sound good. It's also kinda short. The rythem is perfect though and thats whats important in Dnb. I whould suggest changing up the bass a bit to add more variation, play around with it. This is a great song though.

[Dutch WIP update]

Electro Pop!!!

This is good, simple and rhythmic, the beat is good, making this a great dance song. The only thing is really lacks is bass. Great song.
