"Quite simple, but sounds good..."

U could've made it a hell of a lot more complicated, from where i stand (and listen) i see a great deal of potential for this.

U definetely managed to harmonize the treble and bass quite well, although some parts were slightly off.

The intro was way too simple and needs more of a build up.

What would really bring this through would be a stronger background, there are too few instruments, strings, drums and maybe even a bass guitar woudl definetely help to make this better,

Overall, its a good piece, there were pretty decent buildups but it needs some more work.

"Sounds good"

You got the bassline just right, but it seems that more could be done - the bassline itself seems a little bare and when you come along and add additional piano to it, it just feels to me like you didn't really add enough 'oomf' to the piano, when you added the up tempo part of the track in - there could have been an additional line of piano track that had the drive and excitement from the sensations of walking on the ice, experiencing the rush of cold air, the feelings of being so close to nature and the like.

It's a good piece, but still a work in progress, if I'm brutally honest with you.

Perhaps adding additional instruments would be the key here?

Maybe. Probably a string section here and a guitar solo there. THanks man.

"Nice, but needs some work"

by: Haggard

The bassline is pretty nice and so are the melodies you present in this song. Everything fits together nicely and it's a very relaxing song.

But it needs more power in the middle part and towards the end. The build up is pretty slow, which isn't a bad sing per se, but there isn't happening too much in the song for a pretty long time. At around the 2 minute mark the song picks up a bit, but this doesn't last for too long, unfortunately.

While I'm not too fond of the outro - it kinda just ends there - I appreciate that you tried something different. No hold note, no fade out... just let the song end. Nice in a way, but I still don't like it too much. ^^

Thanks, too bad I can't really do anything to this anymore. Maybe I can add some strings here and there.

"Means more to the "Bassline""

by: Kirbyfemur

date: November 3, 2009

Very basic, put together well, and you even tried some dissonance in here, which is a big plus for me. But it need more.

I realize it was built off of the bassline, but it needs to expand and change throughout along with the "melodies" that are heard throughout. Oh and nice one there on the ending, i like that you didn't end it on the tonic note, and left us hanging lol

This has a very jammy sort of feel to it, which is good in some cases, and here it's a little spotty.

So to summarize, expand on the bass part, give it melodies that build off of the bottom part more than just chording, or at least more of the moving parts.

Anywho, not to bad =3

Thanks, tough luck though, can't do a thing to the song anymore though, my pc got reformatted so I'm stuck with a demo version of FL Studio ( the program I use )
