[\m/_Human Catastrophe_\m/]

Nice job man

So I'm assuming you added vocals to this song? The song itself was done very well so props to deathkllr84 on making a good base. I'll have to check out some of his other stuff sometime because it seems very good.

The vocal sound awesome man! Some of the best on the website. Great vocals and great lyrics. Looks like you've done your job quite nicely.

Also, I always thought you had more songs... what happened? Anyway, going right to my favorites. Great job.

XxCRUCIFIEDxX responds:

deathkllr84 is awesome. It is well worth listening to all his tracks. Very insane. Thanks for listening and the props, I did have more songs and will have them back up it's just taking longer than expected to redo all of em

\m/ HAIL! \m/

[Final Days]

~ Review Request Club ~

The quality really takes away a lot of enjoyment from this submission. It almost sounded like you were watching a movie or playing a game and you held a mic up to the television screen to pick up the song. I'm not saying you stole it I was just trying to explain how the quality sounded.

Not taking the quality into consideration the song sounded really good. It sounds like something that I actually would really enjoy a lot as I am a heavy metal fan. There was probably some room for vocals, but I wouldn't even think about adding them until the quality was better.

The song does get a little repetitive, but not terrible as it seemed to have enough variety to keep it going. All around decent submission if it wasn't for the quality. :P

[Struggle of Survival]

~ Review Request Club ~

I really liked the song all around. It really did give off that feeling of struggling to survive. Almost a sad song in itself as well. Still yet at the same time it's really fast paced and has a lot of variety throughout the entire thing.

The use of vocals were not only fitting, but I would have never guessed that they were going to be there. Very unpredictable and effective. Perhaps vocals a little earlier in the submission could have made it a bit better as well.

Great song for the introduction or credits of a flash submission as well.

PizzaBox responds:

Yeah, I tried to make it sad but it wound up not sounding quite as sincere as I wanted it to haha.

It's funny you should say you appreciated the vocals, because I had the least amount of confidence with those! So... thanks! =] I'm glad you mentioned it should have been earlier, I understand what you mean. Thanks for the tip and the honest review!

[SN | Once Again | SN]

~ Review Request Club ~

This song had a lot of energy in it and was definitely something that you could dance to or at least tap your foot to or something of the sort. It was a very happy/fun song and would probably go good with any visual such as a happy scene in a movie or game.

I liked the use of vocals here, but they really did add a lot to the submission and I wouldn't mind hearing a little bit more of them added to the submission. Other than that I really can't think of anyway to improve it.

SessileNomad responds:

ive been thinking about going "all out" with the vocals and doing like a track where the vocals are the lead, but i would have to write lyrics, sing on time plus make another track

thanks for the review, although this sorta track probly wont be dont again by me for a while

[Windows Wars]

~ Review Request Club ~

Well you've gotten nothing but 10's so the mean spirited person inside of me wanted to give it a 9 so your perfect rating was ruined. :P

Ha, couldn't do it after listening to the song though. The song (even though I think I said this on your last windows song) was probably the best windows song that I have heard on this site even though I've heard quite a few.

The variety and just pure fun that this song contained made it so enjoyable to listen to. The title of "War" gave it a interesting theme as well as now you can almost envision a war going on with these sounds along with it.

Step responds:

Ah, how evil XP. I'm expecting Coop to ruin it though, it's hard to get a 10 out of him :P. You did say that on my last windows song, I guess the only genre I'm good at so far (I tried DnB, Classical, Rock, Heavy Metal, Hip-Hop, Jazz and Dance...) is Windows :P. I guess some people like the variety and some people don't. What I think I'll do is invent a catchy main melody which plays once in each windows version, each time with the sound effects that match with the version (E.G.: I did the main melody somewhere in the middle of Windows 2000 with Windows 2000 sound effects, then I did the same melody with Windows XP except with XP's sound effects, etc.), since TBH this is a bit too vared... Anyway, thanks for the great review, and for maintaining my perfect 10 rating :D.

[[S:C] Avoider 2.0]

~ Review Request Club ~

Lol at IamWeird33 for not knowing what a loop is. XD So don't worry I understand why your "song" ends so shortly. :P

Great loop for a video game. Especially an avoider type game, which just happens to go with the title of your submission quite nicely. ;) I was surprised on how much variety was packed into such a small piece of audio though. I'm always telling people to make loops a tad bit longer because they are always too repetitive, but yours was not only about perfect length, but also had the perfect amount of variety in it.

It sounds like a great loop to make a song into so if you plan on doing that then good luck! Also, happy belated birthday old man.

SymbolCymbal responds:

Dude i am so sorry for such a late response to your review. you even wished me happy birthday. :(
Im really you liked the variety i packed into this.. oit was a very lazy piece i threw together. Im kind of perplexed as to how i got such a good response.

Again thank you for the review and i apologize for tasking 2+ years to respond

By far one of my favorite techno songs that I've heard on this site. One of the genres that I really don't like at all because of it's many generic sounds and since half of the techno songs that you hear on this site just sound like each other.

This though sounded very professional and was just one of those songs that I can actually see myself dancing to. Since I'm currently sick and bed ridden though (no I don't think it's H1N1) I had to bop my head to the song instead of actually dancing to it.

Very good song all around. Great job.

[First Musings - v2]

~ Review Request Club ~

Lol at the "revenge" review down below. People really do get worked up over silly things. :P As soon as this song started off I just knew that it was going to be very relaxing and enjoyable to listen to. It was a great piece of classical music and sounded really good.

Good variety, good length, etc... Something that would probably very useful for a flash movie of some sort. It almost gives the feeling that something is sneaking around, but also has a sad feeling towards the ending of the song. Probably would get rejected from Disney though. XD

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you liked it!

[The Essence of Time]

~ Review Request Club ~

I'll agree with Haggard that it does start off a bit too slow, but you make up with it with the nice middle section of the song. I'll have to disagree with the ending part though as I thought the slower ending with all the instruments and sounds except for the one fading out sounded really good and just seemed to go with the theme of the song.

My first thought of the song was that it was going to be something to do with Zelda just because of the title. :P I do wish it was a tad bit longer. I really liked the mixture of different genres also as they sound very good together.

~ Review Request Club ~

Step responds:

Hey thanks :). I fixed the intro by adding delay and reverb on the piano, having some fade-in - fade-out strings in the background and making the tambourines a little less simple. As for the ending, I added an extra chord to the end to give the ending more significance. Lol, I completely forgot about Zelda when I made the title, and never knew it'd be so close :P. Anyway, thanks for the great review, I'll be sure to make it longer with some counter-melodies.

[Dr. M Fever]

~ Review Request Club ~

A game that I never played before so I haven't heard the original and I'm too lazy to do a quick search to hear the original online. My girlfriend automatically knew what it was though listening to it so it must sound a lot like the original one. It sounds very professional also so good job if you did this all by yourself. If you just took the original song and remixed it... well.. I'm pretty sure that's against the rules. :P

An all around enjoyable song to listen to though. Very upbeat and fun all around. Would be great for any Mario like flash game (duh), but also many other types of flash games or even movies.

Cosmos8942 responds:

This tune is...timeless I guess you could say. ANYBODY that has ever played the original Dr. Mario will recognize this piece. Having said that I'll admit I stuck fairly close to the original because, in essence, whats the point of a remix if you completely rip apart what made the original good in the first place? The 8-bit sounds and nostalgia you feel when you listen to this piece (if you have played the game) is what helps keep its flavor. The remix simply capitalizes on that fact and brings in another level, one that they may not have been able to bring about waaaay back in the day.

What I am trying to say is that when I remix something it is always a balancing act between keeping the texture of the original (and its flavor) while sprinkling my own spices onto it to make it something new.

Mix:
3 Cups Original Flavoring [Right outta the box!]
1 Cup Crushed Texture
1/2 Cup Well-mixed samples
2 Teaspoons Originality
2 Teaspoons Secret Spice
1 Teaspoon Sledgehammer to the computer for fking up and not letting me save
1/2 Teaspoon Timing
and a heaping amount of enjoyment.

That, my friend, is what creates a good piece...yes...including the sledgehammer. Creates a nice KICK you see ^^.

Overall I understand what you are saying. As for the "If you just took the original song and remixed it...well...I'm pretty sure that's against the rules. :P" I'll admit I do occasionally rip a track or two that is simply too complicated to easy place down or one I want to keep exactly as is but this is mine. I highly doubt you're going to find percussion like what you hear in this piece...though you might hear similar percussion in the future hehe.

Not exactly a great response I know..but I am tired and I don't like to keep reviews waiting.

Thanks though, I'll give a shout when I get another one on stage.
