[Rig - Epic Orchestra: Enhanced]

beauty

This is very nice!... Percussion was unexpected but very good and you know I would have benn quite happy for it to continue the whole way simiarly to how it was for the 1st 29 seconds ( it would relax me to sleep). I don't think it needed strings or somehow I don't think the to styles fit together seamlessly but this is still nearly a masterpiece (for want of a better word). And I have to disagree with you in one point, I think the name dosen't say the half of it (the music is much more than just an "epic orchestra").
I think the cellos could definately sound better in some parts though. Apart from small flaws throughout the piece 2:30 onward is gold, just a bit too loud.
Love the emotion.

Rig responds:

This was one of the first songs I ever made, actually. I chose the name 'cause I was tired - I finished it at 4 AM. :P
Thanks for the suggestions!

"This fruit must be delicious."

Totally agree with that one man. This one is very original and creative! Nice tunes here make it fun to be hearing. Do what below said and also since this is a fast upbeat piece you might wanna mess around with panning so eg. in R i hear the bells doing their thing then an answering phrase with another instrument in L would be nice.
Might wanna put more melodies on at the same time near the end as well.

newvoyage responds:

Sweet, I'm glad you like it, you have some really good ideas with the panning, I wish I could edit these songs, but I am using the demo version of FL because I'm poor, actually I haven't used panning in any of my songs yet, something I will think about in making my next song.

[Depthless]

hm.

but the drums were not the main thing i noticed. I was listening to all the other instruments like those discordant bells which were good. Well if its just for your practice with drums, you get um, 7. For the rest of it I give you 9. Just automate a few more envelopes?

Plutomium666 responds:

thanks for the good review man!
like you said, i was just mucking around.

[glitch bitch]

sweet

glitch is good, but the only thing that disappoints me is the lack of melody. Your gliching in itself was flawless, I'd just suggest giving it some off- beat beats to make it more unexpected if you know what im sayin cause idk what im sayin.

snayk responds:

Thanks for the review!

I'm actually new to glitch... I always wanted to try it, but I never quite knew where to start, so I've been experimenting. I know exactly what you're talking about when you mention the off-beat beats; I think that's absolutely crucial to glitch, and I suppose it's where I lack the most.

There is a lack of melody, but that's because I tend to get obsessed with beats and playing them over and over. I tried out different melodies for this song, but I nothing really worked with it (besides what I left it), so I decided to keep it like it is.

Thanks again! Good to hear you enjoyed it.

[Greensleeves]

sok

but use more dynamics and the string lead didn't sound goodd with the high frequencies and wasn't sure if the bass hrmonised correctly with them at some times. Maybe make your own one.

himenow responds:

Erm...check out my other...songs...
Any one... ;D
Then tell me that I should make my own :(

[Valley of the damned]

very good song

just get your friend to put more guts in his singing, deep in the belly breathing cause it made me laugh

Nightwasp responds:

Thanks for the comment. Yes...it makes me laugh also

f............

Heil responds:

oh k

[++< Far Away >++]

very good idea

BUT you need to fix up some parts.
GOOD::::\
The background sound effects were a very good idea
Pretty good idea for the actual music
Had some emotions in it
BAD:::::/
Some of the sound effects came on and left too abruptly make it more subtle
Bit too simple lacked complexity. Soften the cello a bit at the start too.
In the section with the drums the snare and cymbal stuck out too much and I'm not sure if they were 100% in time (maybe ad a snare roll somewhere?)
The solo violin too piercing sounding
In the drummed section the sound was thin needed some more voices make it fuller
Lacked some form. After the drummed section it just dropped back to what it was like at the start when it should have intensified.
All in all this idea has enormous potential just improve those parts I mentioned. PM me when/if you do another version I will check it out.

Decerto responds:

Thanks for the comment, i'll try taking on board what you've said and try and make the song better :)

[Helix - Origin]

niiiiiiice!

HELIX, you do REAL industrial. This is the best industrial I have heard.

Helix6 responds:

Thanks, I will try to keep it real in the future.
