[Murasaki Sky]

Awesome track this :D! Loved the synths, the mixing is very good and it has a very nice general feel to it.
I felt like the drum samples, especially the hat, didn't properly fit into the track at times.
The drum pattern could use a bit more variation as well.
Other than that I love it :D. Great work.
Keep it up ;).

Thanks for the feedback! Glad you liked it! ^_^

[My 8bit destiny]

Really love this :D. Loved how the intro, loved the melody, loved the 8 bit synth. I also love how the song progresses :).
Sounds like something that would be perfect in a retro game :D.

[Losing A Draw]

Knew it would be worth it checking out my fans tracks :D.
This is amazing! It perfectly sets the mood and almost makes yo travel to a fantasy world just by listening to it. The instruments and drums are really well used, as well as the ambience :D. Only negative thing was that the ending was a bit abrupt, and that I wished you had made it so that it loops. Other than that, it's a perfect ambient piece for a game :). If you uploaded music more often you wuld have had loads of fans by now ;).
5 stars.

[denial]

Loved the feel of the Sounding of the piano and the various melodies fits perfect thogether. Even the drums fit perfect into this track. True masterpiece, can't wait to see what you crack up in the NGADM :D!

johnfn responds:

Thank you! Good luck to you in the NGADM as well.

[Red Stallion]

Really not muh I can say if the song is already perfect =_=. This sounds so professional. The vocals are amazing and they are amazingly mixed as well. the production quality is one of the highet I've seen on the site . This track might be my favourite of the year. Great work. Sry, this is just too amazing for me to properly review. Feel forced to hit that follow button now.

Acid-Paradox responds:

Thanks a lot for the nice comments friend. You have no idea how my mood boosts when someone gives feedback to my music.

Cheers!

[Enrapture]

It's actually a really good track. It has it's faults though. First of all, I think the overall production quality is pretty low. The instruments are very very basic except for that supersaw-ish synth u use at like 1:50 and other times. The kick and clap are standard fl studio kicks and claps, which I personally dislike (even though I use them sometimes as well XP.)
The main leads at the beginning sounds very flat and boring in my opinion. The bass is very weak and it's pretty flat sounding with no real presence as well. The transistions could have been a lot better. when you change from one song to another you should try making a buildup, and then drop it into the next section, especially since you use a supersaw synth at times.

The track is also very samey. I can hear that you mixed up the melody sometimes, but there's no dynamics whatsoever so it still ends up sounding the same. After 1 minutes I felt like I had heart it already.
The drum patter itself could also have been more varied.

Anyway, that was for all the bad parts. there are good stuff as wel :).
First of all, I luved the melodies :D (luv = love x 10) I really liked how you change the melody at times, and with more dynamics it would sound awesome :D. The mixing is pretty good actually. I don't hear any frequencies clashing at all. I liked the basic arrangement for this track as well.
Really liked the jumpy feel of the track overall.
I think this really could become a great track if you just work a bit more on it. I hope I wasn't sounding to negative in this review :/- I just try to write as many of my opinions as I can of the track in my review to help the artist get better.
Keep up the good work :D. Some really great ideas in this one ;)

(Ps. I actually liked how you used a bassguitar instead of a basssynth in this one :D)

[Eclipse]

Great track :D! Jus.. great! Loved the instruments, it has a really nice melody and calming feel. And the vocals!! They were just too perfect for this. It fitted right into into the track. This would be such an awesome track to have as a theme song for a movie or something :O. I was disappointed that it was so short though. I felt like the ending came too abrupt on me, though that's probably because I was enjoying the track so much. That's the only negative I'm able to take from this track. I really REALLY wished it was like 1 - 2 min longer with a second verse.
Awesome work anyways :D. Absolutely adored it.

etherealwinds responds:

My thanks to you! As I said before, I felt personally that this was all the piece needed. It was more just a snippet of how I felt at the time of writing and it felt complete to me, despite it being short. To have made it longer would require adding something that didn't fit well personally. :} I'm glad you liked it though!

[Solitude]

Really liked it :D. The melody is very fluent. I like how you vary it up as you go :D.
Feel like there could have been some more dynamics in this though. I reckon you played this live?
In that case I think you should try to build up the velocity by hitting the notes harder and weaker at times to build it up and down a climax, if you know what I mean.
This track could be cool to used in a game like minecraft. I feel like it's very simplistic, but that's not a bad thing at all :). I actually like that it's so simplistic :D.
Great work ;).
4 stars.

MockOff responds:

Nah, none of this was live but I think that means I am doing a good job with my VSTs! But yeah, I understand what you mean. I probably should have varied up the dynamics a bit during the repetitions.

Thanks for the comment! I do love to do minimal & simplistic tunes so I glad you liked that aspect.

[Cotard Deluded]

Loved the mix between jazz and rock. The riffs are epic :). Really some amazing ideas in here :D!
5 stars.
