Reviews for "-*}CaSH{*- Etude"

Here is your personal review for round 2 of the NGADM! Keep in mind, this review will be harsher than the round 1 review! I will be poking at songs more in each consecutive round, because it will naturally be more difficult to advance.

The Good:
-Ooooooooh, jazzy. Niiice. It doesn't have dissonant harmonies like some of your other songs, but also definitely doesn't have typical chords and harmonies.
-Sounds like you wrote this in... mainly 5/4? With a few other measures?

The Not-So-Good:
-Yes, the sample quality isn't overly good. However, I am going to forgive this more than I normally would due to the circumstances.
-Some of the rhythms seem very off around 0:29-0:41. The drums really help keep it together.
-The song is a tad too short to have enough content to be really good, though it stays interesting for the minute and eleven seconds that it is. ...not that that's difficult with the type of jazz you make.
-The outro is bleh. I'm sure you know this.

Overall: There's not much I can comment on in this song. It's overall really well-composed. I'm sorry about your hard drive as well. :< Hopefully you can get it back, neh? I'll give this song a 7/10. If you didn't have your hard drive stolen, I'd have given it a 5/10.

It sound very well. Transitions are pretty good but i think you can elaborate more on this track. It has some good potential. Just start building up to a melodic climax. Over all its pretty good. Keep it up :)

Thanks for the compliments, I'm glad you enjoyed the overall sound quality considering the use of soundfonts!

As for elaboration, it's in the plans, I'll PM you when it's done!

Thanks again for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed!

Cheers,

I absolutely love the section from 0:41 to 0:54. Very cool syncopated rhythms there, and the theme is really cool. Heck, if you'd written that and then done a couple of variations or - more fitting for jazz - given different instruments some solos over a base rhythm section keeping that established groove, that would have been pretty awesome to listen to.

camoshark responds:

Thanks, man, glad you enjoyed!

The segment you loved was actually the actual song, but due to time constraints I had to cut short and leave it so. I'm actually planning on recording this and adding solos, so I'll send you a PM when it's done!

Cheers,
