[A New Adventure]

Heaps of potential

This isn't quite the worst MIDI thing I've heard. On the contrary, it's quite brilliant. Record this, bro. It'll be kickass!

I don't know if you've heard anything from Enter Shikari, but this song reminds me of how they kinda structure their songs.

You've done well with MIDI now, but maybe if you put the song through something like Reason (or any other commercial software, Reason is what I use at least) then you could make it sound awesome. Of course, if you could record it, that would be even better.

Keep up the good work!

shadowClint responds:

Thank you! Now that you mention it, it's really reminding me of the Enter Shikari build-ups. Generally every friend of mine liked this song when I showed it, so I figured it would work.

I will PM you now.

[I'm A Dead Lion]

Excellent!

I really like the vocals. I like that they're not perfect. It suits the style of the song. Plis, a song about African animal corpses doesn't need pitch-perfect vocals anyway :D

The lyrics made me laugh. Some of them are so silly, but some are very clever, and they all work beautifully in the context of the song and melody.

But I think that this song is very flat in terms of dynamics (which isn't neccesarily bad). It's just that the guitar doesnt change much at all. It does suit the song, but adding bass and simple percussion as the song goes on might make it more interesting to listen to and continue listening to. Shaker, bass drum and sidestick (and perhaps progressively to a normal snare strike) would make a nice comination, methinks.

But you've done VEERYY well. I really like this song. Keep it up bro!

warefish responds:

Cheers dude! I'm really glad you like it. :D

Most of the songs I post up here are rough demos. So the tips are always greatly apreciated!!

Thanks muchly!!

[Fly through the forest]

damn cool.

This is pretty neat. Kinda reminds me of disney or something of the sort. This sort of music has been done before, yes, but somehow you've made it unique and fresh!

Very easy to listen to; plus it'll take a long time to get annoyed at it, which is a very, very good thing for a loop.

Good work, I say!

[Wildlife 'ambient LOOP']

nice!

I love the atmosphere. I bet not many people would like this because it's too simple, but I like it because of this fact.

Nice work :D

landscapers1 responds:

I agree with you sir, let's see :)
thanks!

[Relaxing.]

pretty swish

I liked the beginning, that truely was relaxing, but around 0:27 something comes in, and it kinda ruins the rhythm of the quiet synths (at least in my opinion). I think you should expand on the beginning and/or make it into a loop. I would love to hear that :D

Good work! :3

Tix92 responds:

Thanks for the review =D il keep that in mind for the next one :P or when im going to change this one a bit :P

[It's Dawn]

neato!

Have you heard of a guy named Clint Mansell? The guy who did Lux Aterna (from Requiem for a Dream)? Well, it reminded me of his music. I reckon you'd like his compositions. They're powerful, yet easy to just listen to, just like this here song.

This is full of emotion. You did really good here!

Good work!

[Fall]

Professional. DUUUDE!

Seriously, this sounds like it should be on the radio, it's that good.

What I love about this is that not only are your lyrics great, you've also chosen great melodies for the phrases; the way you've delivered those lines is awesome.

Especially the line 'everybody falls once, before falling once again'. When I heard that line, I got chills.

You also have a great voice. It's not too 'in-your-face' and it's nice to listen to. Although there are a lot of people that would prefer a more powerful, 'booming' voice, I think that it's great that people such as yourself can have a unique sounding voice and make such great music with it.

Great work!

Cayler responds:

Thanks, I'm glad when people say they like my voice because I also feel like I should be more loud and booming, but I sing more naturally and emotionally with a softer voice. I've managed in a few cases to be more powerful with my voice but usually I prefer to just stick to the softer stuff.

[Loopdedooparoo!]

Nice start...

This is a good foundation for a could-be snazzy song, but I dont think that there's enough in it. There is only one melodic line, and I can see the great potential for awesome harmonies and whatnot.

Other than that, good solid work there! :)

IdiotPotato responds:

Hey thank you! I do agree, though. I would like to add on.
Snazzy indeed!

[I stole the moon - SuperRocket]

Almost relaxing in a way

Was the low volume deliberate? because it was nice like that; not ear-screamingly painful to listen to. I commend you on that :)

Good work with the drums too, man. catchy as!

All in all, good song.

Uthandar responds:

Thanks man
I appreciate the review
