[The power of Drum&Bass]

Review Request Club

I thought the start was pretty fast and the song itself was really fast and gave you an adrenaline rush but not exactly just drum and bass but I get the idea and the voice was cool too but didn't make any sense but a really cool effect and there were lots of cool effects in the whole thing and it was so loud that I couldn't hear my keyboard typing at all! There was also a cool voice in the end.

I thought there were lots of sounds and effects but I think you should have a better name then drum and bass because it wasn't exactly drum and bass in the whole thing so work on the name unless the first version didn't have much details in it. Overall this is a fast little song and I enjoyed it so work on it som more until you get it right!

thanks, this is not the final version so i'll try to make it more like drum&bass

[Dwelling at the Ocean's Bottom]

Review Request Club

Hey man really nice music you got here with a nice and slow intro but I am sorry but it didn't really give me an ocean feel under the water that much but the instruments were played but it seems that you focus on music that try to make you visualize where the music is from but I kind of had the effect of it but it was pretty nice and that ISN'T the most important part of the song.

It seems like there needed to be more things in it because it was pretty short to me but that wouldn't be a problem really and seems quiet and lonely with no life but I guess that IS realistic since there pretty much is nothing at the ocean floor but it would be nice to add to that a little but overall it was a good piece but needed more to it but everything else is fine I guess.

Jabicho responds:

Hey there! thanks for checking this out, yeah, maybe this piece just catches a little of all the things it could express about the title, hehe, I think I'll work on different states of the ocean that I'm sure could use a different perspective than this one. Thanks for the review!

[[herd] A Look At The World]

I thought this had a nice little piano entry but I did not expect the drums to come in do I guess that is pretty original really and that you spent a lot of effort onto it and I liked the instruments you picked because they all played an important part into the song but without the piano, the whole song would be wrecked.

I think you should have toned down on the instruments because I couldn't really hear the piano and then all the instruments go out for another harmony solo which was really good and I could hear it all over the other sounds but this was a pretty basic song so there isn't much in it so try to make it a little bit longer because it was all detailed and everything and all that so just try that.

Herdunculus responds:

oh, ok. I see. This is my first try with these kind of instruments so I don't really know what to expect. I don't really listen to this type of music either, but I thought it would be fun to try. Thanks for the review.

[On This Dark Day]

Review Request Club

Well what can I say! This is one of the best pieces I have seen in a long time and I searched everywhere for flaws but I couldn't find one because it is very detailed and really nice effort to it so I can't help not giving it a ten, for review, a five and favorite it as well!

Well anyways, I saw nice beats to it and loops to it but it all got away when the other sounds came in but this sounded techno in the middle but a little weird and awkward so it was really good and fantastic to hear. t is very original as well because I hear none of this usually and I can tell that you have put lots of effort into this as well.

Overall I really like it and there is not much to be said about it and i am sorry that I haven't found any flaws but it was a really nice song and I hope that you have enjoyed this review.

[The Last March (Plz Reveiw)]

Review Request Club

I thought this was a really nice piece with a really good beginning part in it and I really enjoyed the flute and percussion because you did a very good job on that but It sounds like this song would be on the menu of some kind of Rambo movie or something because of the war theme in it I don't know but I really like it.

You did a really nice job on the horns too but it seems like this was a little bit too short to me but I really don't see how it could have gotten better because it would just be more repetitive so good job on that too but I think this needed more beats to it to make it a bit better because it is kind of plain to me so please fix that because there is a lack of details on it.

There;s not much to be said about this but you need to work on the details and the beats a it more because to me it was pretty plain and needed more too it because this could be a really good piece really.

[TTC the crowning (adagio)]

Review Request Club

I thought this was a really awesome piece and I am glad that I stumbled upon this while being on the review request club. But I is a pretty slow start but that is the good part about it but try to make it louder because I had to put my headphones pretty high to here this coming out but this sounds like it would be a background music in some old town which is probably why why this is a classical song.

You also did a very good job on the piano in this piece but it's probably nice to hear this at night when you are tired because of the repitivity but that's the good thing about this and it's pretty original because I don't see much songs like this on the portal. There's not much really to say about this so I will go onto the overall score.

Overall this was really comforting and I really liked it. The piano was really good but try to make it a bit louder and put more details into it.

[African_Jazz [Box-Killa]]

Review Request Club

I thought this was a really good piece and it reminded me of some jungle theme in the whole thing but then changed when the saxophone came in near the middle of it but I thought the drums and sounds were really cool and it never got repetitive because of the different beats that were included and I thought if this wasn't made in any kind of music creation program, I would give the Saxophone player a reward.

I think the beginning came too fast and maybe you should change it a little to have some cool slow start on it. But the ending was quite good like when the instruments toned down and finished when the last part remained there until the end. On another side note the instruments were very good too in their parts but it was cool that you did this in only 2 weeks instead of going on NG which isn't your fault by the way.

It is pretty cool how you just recycled some old sounds of the jungle and put them into a good song but it is kinda weird thinking about Jazz in the forest and overall, I enjoyed this and put it into my favorites. just work on the flaws I talked about and do more work like this!

I thought this was pretty good but it started to get extremely repetitive in the middle while putting a bunch of other random sounds in it to make it look better bu sounds like a pretty cool drum solo but then again kind of boring really.

I think the intro was actually the best part because that is somewhere that the drum beat actually changes for once in the entire song but by the looks of it, I think you have improved from your other songs that you have uploaded here and I am glad to see that. I think you should make another song unless you wan to improve this one a little bit more then just add a bit more things and change the drum beat time to time on this to help it.

Overall this is just a drum beat with some extra sounds and tunes added to it to make it sound better but try to change the beat because it got very repetitive so just keep this in mind when you are making a new song or improving this one

Decibel responds:

I appreciate your feedback and will get to work as soon as possible!

[AF - Simply Sabotaged (Final)]

Review Request Club

Well first of all I thought it was amazing that you put together a 6 minute song in 28 hours which is a day and I thought it came out great since it barely gets repetitive at all in the whole thing and it has a weird sounds like all techno music but this was kind of different like there was a sound going on like a million times at a time.

the beat was really cool how the tone changed in different parts but I don't know how this has anything to do with the title of this whatsoever but this song is a keeper to me which is why I favorited it but there was a nice effect with the techno drums which I have to thank Supersteph for and I like how it is kind of a relief from the coming sounds in the middle then wtf, it goes in some deep evil aura surrounding us?

I thought the middle of it was the ending and another song came out of nowhere? It was pretty cool but I think this is about all I have to say about this but try to make it less weirder because I thought it was over in the middle of this which was really weird but nice way of combining 2 songs into 1. Nice song!

I had a really awesome review set up but I fucked up and I exited on accident so this review is going to be shorter.

I thought the whole thing was awesome and it was really freakin cool that you got a story for it but it kind of got repetitive but I really liked the techno sounds but it sounded like a robot in some parts which was really cool. Was this supposed to be a futuristic song because that is what it sounds like.

You did a great job on the drums but you really overloaded the cymbals in one part and I like how it goes all down and evil and you have the song going into one ear and out the other. But I really enjoyed this don't get me wrong you are one of my favorite artists now.

Overall I think this is really cool and I don't think you should stop making music because it is a natural talent that you seem to have but what program did you use to make this because I want to make music too. But I think you should have a different ending then the fade effect at the end so work on that and the repetition and you yourself a ten.

I already wrote the sig at the top for you. -Joshsouza

Birdinator99 responds:

Glad you're liking my music dude!

I was actually trying really hard to eliminate repetition this time, but if it didn't work, it didn't work, I suppose. Drum volume is still an issue with me, but I'm practicing all the time.

BTW I use Mixcraft 4, Beatcraft 4, and a simple MIDI keyboard.

Nothing fancy, but at least I don't use loops anymore...

(Nothing I have posted on this site uses loops)
