Good Tune

I kind of like this tune, although it doesn't really sound like it's going very far for most part and it is quite loud as well as busy, but that's okay. A few soft parts might be nice to have, but not really needed. The intro isn't too long which is good to hear, I don't like waiting, lol. So yes, the build up to the main part is done very well, good work on that.

Much of the main part after the intro sounds a little repetitive, but not so much so, as there are some changes through the whole thing which is good to hear. The ending part also seems to be very good, ends pretty softly and the fade out for this is good too. Nice work overall.

5/5

This song really didnt go anywhere, i made the main choir riff, then the guitar riff, then the synths just filled in space, even though they leaded everything. and about the soft parts, i was trying to make this song as annoyingly loud as possible, open it in a sound editing program and it just looks like a big rectangle of sound.

Sweet!!

I liked this alot, the sheer volume of the start is really cool, and it seems to be building up to something, then what sounded like guitar kicked it, completely overpowering the previous part, with steady drums in the backround. Its original and really cool. i liked it.

For what it was made for

it sounds really cool. The instruments are an interesting choice, although, I have to say that I'm not a fan of the guitar sound. I'd prefer to hear it made more digital sounding through effects, FL give it to you so that it sounds in between trying to be realistic and digital. But that was a minor issue, it still sounded pretty cool amongst the other instruments. The progression of the piece was nice, the adding on of instruments at the start was good, and the change to the single note for each chord on the guitar was good. I didn't like the main guitar riff, the melody was jumping around too much, and it gave off a bit of a random feel. I'd suggest keeping a couple of those melodic leaps in there, but change some of them so that they move in step sequence, and it flows a lot more evenly, especially considering that it's in the bass, and the melody is playing over top of it. I'd love to see some more variation in this piece, a new melody in the lead, somewhere in the middle, but for that smooth ambient type sound, you did a really good job, I'm just being pretty picky about it.
Keep it up!

At first I thought that this is going to be a very repititve song, but after those guitars set in, I had to change my mind. ^^

I like the melody you created with the guitars, it sounds very interesting.
Also, the rest of the instruments really fit into there.

I think that the snyth that starts at aorund 0:52 gets a bit too prominent during the song, maybe you can turn down the volume of that part a little bit.

MusicIsBliss responds:

I agree with the synth being too strong, basically my goal for this song was to see how loud of a song I could make (take that dynamic range), but yeah, my fear kept being that it would be too repeditive, i'm glad it isn't

[TheBellmaker]

Interesting, I must review this song

Nice upbeat melody in the main body of the song. The intro was simply smashing. Then you used the gate effect and the guitar starts in. That was pretty kool. Then after the third instrument somes in the songs creates a more mysterious feeling. Overall a very good song.

Suggestiongs: I think some of the instruments are clashing. I'm not entirely sure. But other than that this was a pretty awesome song.

MusicIsBliss responds:

thanks for the review.
I usually make my songs happy, but my main focus with drums is to make them sound less happy because it is always TOO upbeat.
and yeah, the gating was one of my favourite parts.

instruments are clashing a bit, i tried to avoid it as much as i could, but at some point in the song, all 3 instruments are leads, so it was hard to make them all stand out in their own way, the struggle i shall continue fighting forever.
