[Dream Runner Revampd-lidlurch-]

It's great!

It's not really a song you'd go and listen to just cause you want music. It's more of a song to fir into something. Maybe like a game, or backround music for something. I liked it cause it was mastered pretty good. Nothing can be done to change this track, as it is unique, but I can't give it a 10 either.

I don't know to much about Garage Band but do you get to put in your own notes? Or just like patterns/loops?

4/5

lidlurch responds:

yeah, it's just a simple song i made a long time ago, but mastered really well recently, so i wouldn't expect much. i think i've gotten pretty good at editing though. well, if you have a midi keyboard, you need to record a few notes (doesn't matter what you do) then double click on the green section you just made. from there you can insert notes (or dashes on a piano roll) by holding down the command key, then clicking. you could probably figure out the rest. as for if you don't have a midi keyboard, i think you can use a piano roll that pops up on the screen when you initialy get on, or set it to your typing keyboard piano thingy...

Good Base, but to dull.

I'd give you a 9 if it were more flexible. It's way to plain, like nothing happens. Put some "action" in your songs. Like different instruments and stuff. You'll get the hang of it, I promise. I can tell it won't take to long either.

I love the instrument, though. What did you use?

RayJones321 responds:

The instrument was Synthetic, it was merely the STR_Ensemble Soundfont, with Piano underlying it.

As for the song needing more "action", I must respectfully disagree. This song is not about Action. It is about emotion, more specifically, Love. I wanted people to be able to figure that out by themselves, but sooner or later I was going to have to tell someone. I see where you were getting that from - This song is NOTHING like my other submissions. In saying that it needs more instruments, I chose only the strings and the piano so that I had two instruments combining to become one Song of emotion, like Love. It's simplicity is, in my opinion, the Best way to present it.
Thanks for the review.

[The Building]

Nice

It's nice. The bell is a little loud. The piano is awesome. Is it real? If not, you did a great job on the velocity. Drums and flute are cool too.

4/5

ChrisisD responds:

The piano is one of my samples ;-) It's a sampled Yamaha piano, which is awesome. Thanks for the review ;-)
Greets, Chris

[Revelation full]

A little Dull

I love the idea. It just needs some work. The melody is used to often. I think the bell sound should be a piano and while the strings come in, the bells should come in.

What program did you use? PM me back and let me know :)

RayJones321 responds:

I used FL Studio.
Good suggestions by the way, I may incorporate them in th next (if there is one) version.

[A Christmas Pulse]

Sweet

Pretty cool. You sued Toxicbiohazard, right? I can tell on the preset you used. I have also used it in one of my songs.

[-XtK- Day One]

Love it!

I love it! A lot of people here have talent, you're one of them. It's very professional.
I don't care what people say, this song deserve some credit. If anyone votes under 4, people don't understand real music :)
Keep it up, let me know if you make another.

XotiK responds:

thanks, and I will I have a lot of songs under the process of being mastered or remastered so I will be sure to let you know.

[Robot Voices (full song)]

Haha

It's cool! I'd give it 9/10 if you used different instruments.

[Gritty]

The Song Doesn't deserve to be that long. . .

Wayyy to repetitive. The song should be cut to 2-3 minutes. Nice beat, nice instruments. But it replays the same thing for a long time and that bores people. The idea in music is to get other people interested. See, you know what is coming next, what riff. They don't. They go "Oh, it's the same thing over and over" so they just vote you down.
So maybe have the riffs only play 2 times instead of 4-6 times.
Hope it helps.

Namegoeshere responds:

Haha, I didn't realize it was so long. I kinda got lost in the making of it, but thanks anyway.

[The Scent Of Midnight]

Eh. . .

This would have been a very nice song with some different instruments. 1:03 or so, the piano has a delay that is sort of annoying. I think you might get some positive feedback if the instruments were different.

What program did you use?

TheElementalProdigy responds:

well...
