I always loved these oldschool pieces of music. You use oscilator to make the synth ?

The good
-------------

The melody is crafted very well. If this was used in an actual game I would be get nervous by it. Thats a good thing.
I like the melody that comes in a 0.38.
Persuccion is nice.

Other
______

You should edit an ending for this or make it loop. One of those.
______

I really enjoyed this piece of art.

stevenfostermusic responds:

thank you for review :)
and yes i have downloaded your song called 'shooting star' its really good! im checking out your other songs too now!!

I'll comment what it needs !!!

Use chords for string. It will add an atmosphere of mystery. If you don't know what I mean by this, listen to my " in the eye of the storm ". Its a similar track.

The good
_________

I like the melody, this could be used in a flash. In a sad scene or something. As I said before, use chords.
I like how you layer the strings over each other.

Other
_____

Percussion is good, well timed. Ofc you're gonna improve the soundquality of it. As you say in the author comments

________

Overall not a bad piece. And easy one to review, scince its so short.
Work on it and it will turn out to be great.

OPQC responds:

thanks for so good comment!

yes, it might be usen in the flash... somewhat sad scene or something.
i try to make the chords. as always i have made them. on the WIPs i haven't always done them.
yea, the percussion is coming to be better, as i promise. and better. not so empty. but still not too much.
thanks for the 5! u was a great reviewer!

Flashgame music

At the start I thought it was gonna suck. It wasn't too bad after all

The good
_________

Percussion is very well done. Sounds almost like a real drummer.
You create a nice atmosphere. This could be good for a dark flashmovie or game.
Good panning effects on the claps.

Other
_____

Its like you didn't master the claps. I'm guessing you used raw samples for it and didn't modify them. Remaster them if you get the chance. Filter a bit and add some reeverb. It will give your song extra dimension.
The bass and lower piano notes tend to clash together at some points and create a blur. You can reduce this by panning effects. Make one more left and one more right. Or use filter.
The intro is just one synth playing. When you start your songs you should use intropercussion. It will give the song extra dimensions.
_______

Overall this isn't too bad. But there are still some things I'd change if I was you.

Nice effects. I like it

__________

You added a lot of variation over a long time. It doesn't get boring at all. In fact it works a bit entrancing.
I love the synths you used at 3.15

Other
______

At some points when the kick and bass layer over each other. There is some small distortion.

______

Overall a very nice piece of work.

You took the time to spread out your ideas over a long time, which is good for creating an ambiance.
I like the delay on the pianonotes.

Melody is good. If your remaking a video game song I'm guessing you used a MIDI ?
Good instrument to create a game atmosphere.

Other

A bit repetitive after a while, but I gues its the same in the game aswell

______

A decent track

Hey, thanks man, your my first review. I don't do all the audio stuff, editing wise like that. my brother does that. he is going to teach me, though he's out in BC working. he does this for a living. ...anyway, I did hear him mention using a MIDI, (he also supplied the instruments for me to use while he was away. or at least till I could afford my own, LOL.
Thanx for the review.

Greetz (back)

Ambience for sure

You managed to create a good ambience. It could be used for a flash in a laboratory or something like that.

The good
_________

There where some good ideas in this one.
Nice fade-in at the start
Fade-out at the end.

Other
_____

Percussion gets a bit boring after a while. It could do with some more variation.
The song is decent but get a bit repetitive after a while

_________

Overall a decent track

ciararavenblaze responds:

thank you very much. :)

I tend to look at this song as me beginning to shift as a songwriter towards more of what I like to create than what I had created thus far up to this point--I liked what I made, but my style begins to really develop from this point on, I think.

Peacefull piece

I really enjoy these kind of tracks. They are good for Flashmovies or just to listen and relax.

Good stuff
__________

Melody is nice
You achieved a nice atmosphere.
Panning is nice. As if you are sitting in front of the piano.

Other
_____

I don't say its a bad thing, but another instrument then the piano could give your song some extra dimensions.

________

Overall a pretty good piece of work.

Stalagmite responds:

"An extra dimension" i like that. lol.. i know i cant get the original file, but i still have the audio track. It may be a good piece to sing to... Now i just need to learn to sing aswell haha. im definately going to try to add more instruments to this piece then. i can here the pieces coming together already lol. thanks so much for your words. :)

Very nice

You certainly achieved the relaxing effect. I can really sit back to this.

Good stuff
---------------

Very relaxing
Good buildup
Strong melody
Nice use of subbass
Percussion is fine

Other stuff
---------------

Its a bit quiet. I put my stereo in pretty loud and I still have trouble hearing it clear. You could increase the melody volume a bit.
Some panning effects would be nice.

---------------

I know you can't come back to this track. But maybe you can use this review for later works.

Greetz Duba

Stalagmite responds:

thanks to my first review on this song! owe you one lol. I am pleased you have enjoyed this piece. i must say there is not actually a defined melody as such during alot of this piece. that was kind of intentional. i didnt want to make anyone "think" to much. it distracts from the clear state of mind i hoped to achieve. I will definately work on my volume control LOL. it is a pain when all your songs have inconsistent volumes.
Also panning effects sound good. wish i thought of it before! lol.
Anyhows. I am greatful for your input friend, its all taken in and appreciated. Thanks alot. :D

Recommended it

I friend is gonna use this for a school project. She made me say thanks to you :)

Thanks !

itsameyayo responds:

No problem, anytime! I just wish I mixed it better, lol.
