[Rockin` Boots]

Same thing

Same thing: Post in the right section!!!(this could go under misc)
Not bad but not anything great either...
You seriously could have done a better job at mastering this!

SoulburnLV responds:

Umm it`s 175 bpm with dnb beat... seems like dnb to me.

But I got to agree that I should finish it someday.

[She_Remix [Box-Killa]]

Hmm

Not bad but i dunno, it misses a bass. The drums were good and matched the song. Cant think of anything else... (sry :P)
(Also why did you put it in DnB? DnB is atleast 160bpm and with some deep basses, if youre not aware of that... :D)

Box-Killa responds:

what else am i going to put it in lol?

[Cadenza Drop]

nope

Cadenza means a sequence of chords :D
Your song is ok though it could be faster (since it sounds like something else).
Dont know anything else to say (since my laptop has crappy speakers :P)

ButcherMonkey responds:

If you can't hear the bass your missing out on the entire experience D:
As for speed, anything faster would ruin the chord transitions. Already tried it :P
Your definition of Cadenza seems to be as faulty as mine, now that I looked it up. Either way, I liked the sound of it.
Thanks for reviewing!

[The World's Greatest Magician]

Not bad at all

Quite good use of instruments though it lacks some depth to it...
Also what version of FL did you buy (I got the XXL bundle) because if youd get directwave then i think it would help you quite alot (though im not sure ^^)
Anyway its nice and i quite like it :D
5'd
8'd

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

I use FL7, just plain ol' FL7, so I don't know what Directwave or anything like that is all about.

But thanks for reviewing, and I'm glad ya liked it.

[Cast From the Stars]

Could have been better

Nice song overall but its too calm for me :P
I think there are 3 things that need to be worked out:
1. The Percussion which is so weak :S
2. The Guitar (Slayer i think?) at 2:11 doesnt sound very good (it fits there but you could have used something else)
3. Synths are too too too :D (you know what i mean)

Bracksta responds:

ya i agree, i needed stronger perc. some more variation, the guitar killed the song there, i should have used a piano, and lastly i should have put more fx on the synth to make it more original. i got your drift man :)

[DJ Comet-Dark Tech [Loop]]

Much better then the whole song

Enuff said with the title since the repetition is removed in here due to the length of the song. Also i forgot to add in my full song review that i like the high pitch thingy since it kinda has an awesome western feeling to it :D 5/5 here

TheComet responds:

yep. lol....

I sould probably pull out the full track again and work through it to see what I can do in terms of improvement, while I can't remix it altogether with the automation involved (I tend to use only one automation envelope per knob and extend it for the entire song instead of making patterns with them), I might do a half-remix

[Nightmare - PakaPaka]

Not too bad

Its not too bad for your first song and i would give it 8/10 and 4/5 if it wouldnt go off-key all the time. It makes it sound quite horrible though the synths and other stuff was good.
I think for a good start if you want to make creepy songs would be like A minor (only has g sharp so nothing complicated) and like use random flats and sharps if you want...
So i think you should watch some composing tutorials to get started and THEN try making something new...

PakaPaka responds:

Hmm well I've never really done anything with music before, but I don't really hear where it goes off-key.

I was going for a sort of creepy dissonance though, maybe it didn't work exactly as planned lol.

[DJ Comet-Potential]

165bpm? :D

Wow you finally made something shorter and FASTER O_o
How could you?
Good song anyway and i really like the quiet synth that enters at 2:08.
Also really liked the very short intro :D
The only 2 things i would suggest are a more intense drumline and that its quite of repetitive.
5/5(due to low score :D) and 9/10

TheComet responds:

it's a short quick one since that's the advice I've gotten multiple times about working on demos: Get straight to the beat, use your strengths, and keep it short.

I still have more fun working on 7 minute tracks though :P

[DJ Comet-Iron Fist]

Nice song

Nice song, though the beginning could use some improvement(read the comment below :P).
Really like the drums and stuff that come in at 3:00. Their panning wants to make my head spin (or smth like that)

TheComet responds:

Yeah I loved how the 3:00 segment came out, as for the panning, the snare is actually off-center a little to the right, combined with ping-pong delay echoes on the piano (alternates between left panning and right panning each delay/echo)

[DJ Comet-Reality Strikes Again]

Good song

Its a good song but i think you should try experiment by creating faster and shorter songs (~3 mins).
Like your music nevertheless...

TheComet responds:

I tend to have a hard time making shorter length songs, just doesn't feel right to me XD

I like going for a 5-7 minute track, lets me use some large build ups and mix up the score a bit as I go.

As far as tempo goes, I just go with whatever I feel like doing when I do the song.
