[The Whole Is The Sum Of...]

A little on the crazy side for me :D

But i'm 100% sure that this song is better than my first song (wich isn't on ng). The melody is too much spread out, in my opinion, as if there was no order and that it didn't hold together.

I have to things to say about this piece, it needs a bassline and/or if there is a bassline it needs to be louder so that i can hear it.

The other thing is that i think that you should use a little more instruments and vary it up a little. Different instruments represent different ideas and feelings and it always give a refreshing taste to the song.

This time the drums were a little less annoying because they had a much better volume level.

With more practice you'll be able to make some great songs, so keep at it. Let me know when you'll have a couple of new songs out. I will glady review them.

Keep up the good work!

[From The Deep Ether Of Mind]

Well...

Pretty much the same here applies to what i said about your final version of this song.

But this time the hi-hats too were a bit loud. Hmm, i'm not a pro and you don't have to take me seriously but i just want to give you a little advice, something that i think is good to know.

About volume levels : when you have an instrument that plays rapidly and constantly, for exemple your cymbals, it's best to have a lower volume level. Because it's playing constantly the listener's ears will pick it up.
And for sounds that only play once in a while, like bells for exemple or something else that indicates a change in the song, it's best to have it a little louder so that it is heard clearly.

I hope i didn't waste your time with this little explanation. If i did well sorry.

Oh yeah and this time the song ended abruptly, i know this is an earlier version.

Neeeext...

[The Deep Ether Of Mind (Done)]

Pretty nice actually.

The piece itself is pretty decent. Now all that's left to do is work a little on the volume level of each instruments. The cymbals that you use at the beginning of the song are a bit too loud and repetitive. The first synths weren't to my liking but that's just a matter of taste and taste can't really be discussed :D

I really liked that part in the middle where it seemed to slow down tempo wise, and i also loved the big build up for the ending part of your song.

I don't recall hearing any snares in this piece, only that loud cymbal. So snares would be nice. I know how it is though, i am one to have problems when it comes to percussions... but everything can be learned by practicing. Now don't get me wrong, i'm not saying that your drums are bad but only that they need a little more work.

This piece in it's general aspect and concept was pretty good, and so i give you a 4 on this track.

Now onto the next song.

[Redemption Lost - Loop -]

I don't remember this one...

A remix of what song is it exactly?

This songs is awesome, all it needed was maybe a little bell somehwere just to give it that little something.

For the rest, everything is crystal clear and well organised. I really like the flute sample you have running in the background.

This could really be used for some battle theme or epic tale intro, the way i see it.

I quite fancy this piece of music and download and i vote the fifen :D

Nice work again on this song, keep it up.

Grumbleduke responds:

Go look at the "ngaudioartists" profile (or search the name in the AP) to find out where the original came from. All shall be made clear...

I just wanted to make a version of it that looped, and put it under my own profile, so here it be.

[Cockney Walkabout]

Reminded of some movie...

Just about any movie. I saw some people walking the streets under the rain... lol, gotta love that crazy imagination of mine.

That is until the "banjo" or well guitar came in. Then i saw that Texan farmer going his little way working in the fields.

I really liked the piano in this piece and the brass was good to. Then when the guitar came in i didn't enjoy it as much. To my ears i wasn't so good with the piano at the same time. The little percussions add a nice touch to the song.

I'd really see this as another one of those "village" themes of yours.

You say you don't know what made you do this... well because it's a nice and relaxing track.

Nice work on this song. Nice to see you submitting again.

P.S. I read your reviews but i haven't answered them yet, and i'm not making music for a little while cause i can't come up with anything for the moment. See you later.

Grumbleduke responds:

Ah, you know not of the Cockney music of England. Look up "Chaz and Dave" and you'll understand more. It's not entirely accurate to the style, but it seemed that way to me. It's an unusual style, so naturally it went into the misc genre!

[Experiment 1]

Pretty nice..

I fancy this melody alot... the strings with the "music box" instrument fits really nice together. Too short to my taste but i understand that experiments are for well... experimenting lol.

Keep at it, you have potential!

kec responds:

Thanks XD, I'll prolly lenghthen it and add more stuff.

[reverse draze]

It's not about the song...

I'm just giving you this review to tell you that i uploaded my profile so you can e-mail me anytime. I'm doing it this way instead of e-mailing you cause that would just be a waste of time...

You know like "hello what do you want to talk about, e-mail back" lol

i just think it'd be better if you e-mail me with your questions.

So check my profile.. and i'll be checking my e-mail.

rioross responds:

well thank you but, for future refrences i woul rather like it if you would talk about the song too.
*rioross*

[invader zim]

Hmmm...

I saw your pledge in the audio forums and also you left me a review so i'm reviewing back... it's the stores policy :)

Well you know, if you want reviews you have to continue what you have done with me, review alot of people in the hopes of them reviewing you back... but you need to actually make music in order not to get flammed or zero voted.

You should really download the demo of fruity loops (FL Studio it's called now). If you like it then go and buy the program... make some of your own music and then ask for reviews. I'm sure that there will be some good people out there to give you a hand on what to improve...

Don't think that i'm trying to get you mad or anything but i'm just telling it how i see it and i mean no offense at all...

Good luck to you and if you ever choose to make some music of your own then don't hesitate to drop me a line and i will gladly review your music :D

rioross responds:

fruity loops eh? sounds good. (pun not indended)
about that drop me a line thing, well im not exactly going to call you but, i will e-mail you.
i can relate to that no ofence stuff, see i also wright things that can be taken offensivly.
oh and i will keep up those reviews for ya!

[reverse edrug]

Well...

You should really stick to making your own stuff. I mean reversed songs aren't that much fun.

The only reason why i'm reviewing this one is because i wanted to say this : Oh my god, even though the song is backwards, the main synth's melody sounds like it is not playing backwards at all... lol.

rioross responds:

ya, i have a few more reverses that i may or may not submit. your right, this song is amazing

[omni world]

Hey this is nice!

This is a good track, a little repetitive but good. The only thing i didn't like is the first sound that the song starts with. The rest is fine, the synths are nice.

I like how the song ended so sudden "in my face" kind of feeling. I think that the chorus doesn't have it's place in this track, i think maybe another instrument would do better.

Also i think that i hear some "static" or some "distortion" in a few places. That's all about checking your volume levels. If some instruments aren't heard loud enough you can always lower the other ones that way you eliminate the chances of "distortion".

All in all this is a good song. Keep it up!

zerofalse responds:

thanks soo for the tips seriously! i need them =) i think your right about the distorsion thing. i found that some of the instriuments sound like their collideing. yeahh, but in time ill get better as does everyone else that makes music. your really good urself. your songs rock! =) thanx for the review!!
