Reviews for SM64: Winged and Metal Cap

[heresaspoon]

Not what I expected

Congrats, you know how to MIDI rip and paste together into one song....

First off, the winged cap part had no drums. Why did you decided to not add something??? A snare roll or a crash or something. To get more oomph, try having some parts come in soft then increase in volume.

Second, The song is so flat its ridiculous. You need to add some contrast to the 2 different parts such as a stronger bass, more defined drums and such.

Third, you only repeated each once. 1:44 seconds is a bit short for 2 songs. I cant see anyone using this for a flash when theres better mixes of each part out there.

I had to give my constructive criticism for this.

I suppose you'd like me to start doing my songs by ear again? No thanks.
First off, there are no drums in the first part to give a lighter feel. How would snare make it feel like a "flying" song. I've been told before that adding drums can hinder the feeling of a song, so this time I purposefully removed them.

The flatness of the song is where you hove me really lost though. There is virtually no bass in the first part and as you already said, there are no drums in the first part either. I'm not sure what speakers you're using, but there's a pretty well defined contrast. Try turning up your base.

However, I would like to thank you for actually posting some criticism, and not just something like "LOLK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 gudwork!". I always appreciate criticism and this is no exception. I especially agree with the last part. The only thing is, if I made it repeat more, it would have been to big to upload. Flash artists are my last thought when I make songs though. I really have no intention to make them solely for use in flashes.

tl;dr: I am an overly-emotional pre-teen girl.
