[Skela-New_years_euphoria]

Not bad

Nice song, overall with some potential in my opinion. It has potential but you still need to work on the production, especially on the EQs. First the guitar in the intro used too much high frequencies and it hurt my ears a bit :P. Also the kick was too loud and over compressed and flooded the other instruments. Other than that, the melody was nice and the chord progression decent. Another thing, in the intro the guitars sounded very weird, as you increased the tempo of a sample, it caused some pitch imperfections, do you get what I mean? Well done, overall.

Skela responds:

I guess we all have different taste.
The guitars pitch sounds fine to me, and the kick is suppose to overdub the song.
Anyways,
Thanks for the review.

[MH16: Epic Experiment]

Well composed and arranged

I can see the amount of work and experience with orchestral programs behind the unfinished track, really. The different strings sections were well arranged together and the strings you used sounded quite realistic. The other instruments fitted well the strings as well. Overall, a nice classical song but still unfinished so I can't give it a 10 :P. Too bad you won't finish it.

Experience? Me? :P
I barely created songs for like 4 months now.
But thanks for the compliment and the review :-)

[mega static orchestra]

Enjoyed it!

I really enjoyed it, overall. First the beat was really sweet, I enjoyed how you built it, and the effects you used on the drums sounded well - a bit trash though. Then I loved the piano, the 4th and the 5th that the piano played gave the song dark feeling and the synth melody added a new feeling, a sort of Egyptian feeling :D. Great stuff overall, I really dug this one!

[Three is greater than]

Interesting

This has potential and could be better if you worked a bit more on the structure. Let me explain that, the intro was too long and it doesn't kept me listening because of it, try to add the beat earlier in the song to catch the listener's attention. An epic ending with more instruments could have been a better idea than to create a sort of fade out like you did. Though the instruments you chose were decent and the melody quite interesting.

[8-bit war]

Not too bad

Well, it's a bit better than the first loop I reviewed, so a good point for you. The melody was more interesting and used more notes, I can see another improvement here. Though, I noticed that the drums and the melody were not well synchronized, did you play the instruments yourself through a Midi Keyboard? The melody sounded a bit muffled also, try to add some high frequencies to make it brighter.

and I said not to mention the drums and melodies being out of sync.

[A dance song for Xmas]

Thanks for the present but ...

Put more effort on your song next time. There was no structure and it was overall very messy. There was only one note and not even a chord, also the bit was random and it gets annoying at the first listen. And as Haggard said, it doesn't loop well, so work on it please.

mikkim responds:

Haggard said it DOES loop well, not DOESN'T

[We'll Make It]

Not bad

It's a nice ambiant song overall but with some things to fix, in my opinion. First, as Haggard said, that intro is a bit weird and annoying, it doesn't match the rest of the song. The synth you used in the intro was a bit harsh therefore you could have worked a bit more on the EQ of that synth. About the main chord progression, it was also a bit weird because it used 5 chords - each chord lasting 1 bar - so that 5 bars progression gave an odd feeling to the song.

[MH16: Swing]

Good job.

Very catchy tune here if I may say so myself. Everything about the song was pretty good. It was kind of short and I wouldn't mind seeing it just a little bit longer, but if you were to make it longer you may run into the problem of making it too repetitive. So if you could make it longer without making it too repetitive than I say go on and do it, but if you can't there isn't anything wrong with this one really.

Overall, perhaps just a bit short, but not too short. A very fun submission to listen to.

FairSquare responds:

Hmmm, i don't think i can make it longer without getting repetitive. Maybe in the future :-)
Thanks for the review!

[MH16: The Battle]

Pretty good.

It has a little bit of a different sound to it, but I think it would be pretty good background music for a lot of flash movies or games. From simple introduction music or probably music in the background of a battle or a similar type scene. If I ever have the need for a song like that I will come back and try this out to see if it fits. I would say that my favorite part of the song would easily be the drums.

Overall, a good job all around and hopefully someone finds use for it in a flash movie or game.

FairSquare responds:

Thanks :-)
So far none of my music has been used in flash.
The chances that someone will use this are not great, but i'll just keep submitting songs and hoping they will get used/famous :P

[Hell Hath Thy Fury]

I liked it.

I liked the way that this song sounded. Perhaps it sounded a bit off, but I think that it's ok in this song. It sounds more like you were trying to get rid of the traditional techno song and give it a little bit of a different sound and I think you did it pretty well. As I liked the sound of the song my girlfriend didn't. :P And I quote her directly.

ok, but im telling ya.. it sounds like an annoying fly flying around your head like at night when you want to fucking kill it but you can't and it pisses you off. the song didn't piss me off, just reminds me of it. hahaha

I can kind of see where she is coming from, but I wouldn't have saw it that way unless she said something about it. Anyway, I think it's pretty good. It never gets too repetitive or anything and you had quite a bit of variety in it.
