I had debated whether to post this or not but someting told me I should so I did...

I tried something new, like the pads in this song. I was reluctant at first but they kind of grew on me.

There is always room for improvement! =). Comment, Vote...you know the drill. ^_^

Potential for sure

The beginning those pauses are a little much, a low tone to fade in contrast with a high tone to fill the pause would be great. However, the pause does give it a human feel to it, If you know what I mean. And it could just be your style. I have yet to listen to another song.

When you do come in with an ambient sound. It overtakes the rest of the piece, and all the elements put in arent all present.

These are just my opinions.

Overall, very good song. There are a lot of elements and key changes that sound awesome.

Yeah, it's good that other people are noticing certain things that I fine wrong with it XD.

I was trying something different with the pads but they are overbearing...

Unfortunately, I made this with the FL 7 demo and...after I made it and realized somethings were wrong with it...I had exited out, and I could only save it as an mp3 file so...

Unless I get the full program, it's going to be as is =(.

Glad you liked it overall though XD.

Starts out a bit awkwardly, but builds up nicely

The beginning parts sounded kind of awkward with the sudden pauses - it'd probably sound a bit more natural if you added a bit of echo or reverb so the transition into silence is more gradual (also, those windy synth effects could probably be longer and fade in more gradually to get a more windy feel).

Afterwards when the piece starts going, it starts out a bit on the dull side, but when those nice synths come in around 1:00 and start layering all over one another, it's starts to sound real nice and full. At around, 1:47, I think the drums drop out a bit too suddenly, but it's brief enough to not detract too much. Speaking of the drums, they sounded too loud for my tastes, especially during the lighter sections - I'd turn them down a notch or so, or at least make the bass drum a bit less boomy.

Overall, I think it's pretty interesting piece, but there are parts of it that just feel like they haven't been fleshed out quite enough (ie, most of the parts w/o the ethereal synth thing playing a melody/countermelody). Maybe some more padding here and there might help with that. Anyways, keep at it.

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism!

I would love to redo this piece, actually, I wasn't done with it, but I had made this with FL7 demo, and lucky for me...my computer froze, so I lost EVERYTHING except for this, which I had saved a bit earlier.

I wasn't even halfway done but oh well.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great...

but I have no idea how this name fits with the song. I can't think of a better one either! XD
Nice song, if a little slow at the beginning.
4/5

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

Ha ha!

I don't know, I like the name. I get a cold feeling when I listen to this song...

But then again, I couldn't really come up with a good name for this anyway XD.

I'm glad you liked!

^.~

Nice.

Quite good, its just the start was a little slow to pick up and some notes in about the middle of the song didnt go down well 100%, but thats ok coz the rest of the song was awesome n_n
Good work.
9/10
5/5

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

Thanks.

I used the FL 7 demo, and after I had saved it and ex-ed out, I realized some things were off beat XD.

Thank you so much for the review!
