Not bad at all, however...

... it is lacking a distinct melody (i.e., something that "hooks" the listener). It also seems like the middle channel is not standing out enough in the mix inspite of the stereo imaging being well placed. Let me try something and I'll send you a file. :) Anyway, keep up the great work! You're definitely going in the right direction!

Shiverwar responds:

You've got some very nice words in your review. You sure know how to lay down the constructive criticism. :D

See, that's what I like about some reviews. Nice and easy with some constructive advice. Thank you for your review, man!

Techno!

Reminds me of the early 90's Techno music! :) NICE!! I enjoyed it! A score of 9/10 because I feel it could be sonically improved; i.e., mastered for optimal output. Otherwise it would be a 10/10! ;)

Maverlyn responds:

Reposting this with your version :D

Pretty cool stuff...

This song leaves me gasping for air! :) It has good content, but it seems like it ends without a resolution. :( The quality of the sounds are OK, but can be more convincing with better sounds. Anyway, pretty cool tune! 4/5 8/10. Keep it up!

Shiverwar responds:

Hey, thanks, man! I only prepared it in a matter of minutes, because I tend to work fast, but I tried to make it as best I can. Thanks for your review!

Yeah, I wish I had the East/West Symphonic thing like some other people have, but I'm f@#%ing poor. Lol ^^"

THIS IS BAD ASS!!!!

Despite that you didn't win the competition, I still think you tore it up!!! I am loving this!! Keep up the great shredding!!! IT'S TOTALLY BAD ASS!! 5/5 10/10!! Hit me up if you'd like to collaborate on some music (possibly for games or film).

Nostalgic!

This brings me way back... I can see myself playing one of those old Super Nintendo games. Definitely suitable for the younger age group! Keep up the great work!

Possessing!

Your music just possessed me! I'm now at your every command! :P That bass line is truly awesome despite that it plays the same thing over and over--it helps drive the entire piece!! The bending synths a quite amazing! There's one thing that I would probably fix though--and that's the amount of reverberation. Sounds like everything was ran through a reverb insert at the master bus. eeek! The reverb made it very "muddy" sounding. Unless that's what you were deliberately trying to accomplish, I think it would be better to turn it town.

Eirun responds:

Wow, thanks for the zeal! :D

It's a lot of different kinds of reverbs and/or echoes for each instrument. I wanted to make it feel a bit wet, vast and gloomy.

This was my first successful try at leaving the bass enhancement alone and push more into filter effects and variation. But I agree that the bassline is pumping the same thing over and over. I'll pay more attention to that in my next work. :)

Trippy!

This makes me feel like I am spinning really fast around in my chair in a dark room with 10 strobe lights flashing all at different intervals!!

KillTheTrucker responds:

Haha, nice, thanks! ;D

I feel like the kick...

... sound should be something more "solid and a short thump" instead of the long release; but then maybe that was on purpose because I also noticed that you didn't have a 'bass' instrument present. The lack of chords makes it a little plain but then maybe that's what you were after too?! My encouragement is for you to keep at it.

Djadmin responds:

Thanks for the review, and the suggestions about the kick and bass... they sounded horrible that way, that's how they were originally.

Interesting!

The melody and chord progression is pretty interesting and unique. I'm not sure what you are trying to accomplish with this piece but from the title, it suggests a "chase scene" but then it doesn't sound upbeat enough for a chase scene. Things you might try implementing are adding more accompaniment instruments to help solidify its rhythm and pace. I encourage you to experiment some more.

Still has much room for improvement

At some parts, I feel like the notes are clashing into (or brushing up against) each other creating a tonal harmonic imbalance. Try positioning the notes so that they complement each other as in the same chord scale instead of causing them to destroy or overrun one another. If you do that, it will make them sound "together" instead of "all scattered."

DeanCutty responds:

Thanks for telling me your thoughts. When I wrote this track, I thought some clashing notes would make the atmosphere better. I agree that the melodies could be a little tighter instead of "All Scattered".

Thank you!

Thank you for listening to my music! I'm always glad to share them with you!
