[<V>Tetris A+B<V>]

These will never get old to me.

Originality! Finally :D

Intro: Didn't care for the constant panning into the left ear, kind of made me want to stop listening at the beginning.

Middle: Good stuff, but that panning has to stop... please?

Music: Over all I LOVE the melody of these pieces, but towards the middle and end there wasn't much left for originality, so I would suggest to take the original melody and remix it, add some flare, some spice, some of your own creativity, instead of playing it as it originally was, that is no fun after a while.

End: Ended a little suddenly, might want to add some more type of fade, a crash maybe, just something ;) And stop the panning... please stop the panning.

Great work! This was an idea I was thinking about a while ago, but figured I couldn't do it, but you seem to be able to do it good, so keep going! :D ((Kill the panning, please))

veanm responds:

dont worry about the panning, that was my first experiment with it, i made loads of remixes of tetris both A and B so you could have a listen,

thanks for review, and ill stop panning lol

[Open The Eyes Of My Heart Lord]

The intro was death to this song.

I did listen to the whole thing.
But it wasn't terrible. I have to say though 1:14 was my favorite part (When they repeat the same words over and over again it kind of gets irritating and hard to want to keep going.) The echo of the first part of the main part (once it finally came in) Also was a little annoying.

Suggestions!:

House is a genre I have a hard time with, because I know so little about it. But I do know that this is a little slow, the main saw bass is a little loud and drowns out a lot of other sounds, so leveling out would be good.

A good idea would be to make a instrumental to follow the lyrics, instead of a kind of down slow paced part with not much action going on, ye know?

A little faster would be nice, and make the kick a little more pronounced, right now it's like a dead little fwum fwum, which is kind of hard to make out sometimes with the rest of the stuff going on (like that super loud bass saw)

There is no part in this where the whole part of the lyrics plays, it's just little snippits, which isn't like terrible or anything, just kind of disappointing. And going back to my suggestion about an instrumental part of the melody, with a really electronic sounding piano that would be awesome, along side the lyrics, that would do great.

Great start anyway, good job :)

Mans0n responds:

maybe re listen to the song with headphones that have good bass or speakers with good bass. Because the kick is very heavy and deep. And this is an afrojack theme'd remix. Because of the way it builds and transitions. If you were an afrojack fan you would understand im sure.
ohh and the repeating of vocals around 1:14 indicates a build up o.0 very popular method of doing business

And vocals not playing throughout the whole song is no purpose because they dont mesh at all. That's why it builds and breaks like it does. I've already put a lot of thought into this. and no E piano that's very generic haha

[Haunted Dancefloor (Original)]

Interesting.

I've noticed you like to complain about zero bombing, and I suggest you stop because that just attracts a lot more of them. They are like trolls on youtube, they just love to eat up your complaints about them.

If your songs are as good as you rave them to be then they will get the score they deserve, everybody gets zero bombed, it's life.

Now to review: Noticed some elements of the Space Invaders sound in there, which does give it that video game element. The bass is really almost non existent, which for a dance song is not good. Most people who listen to any electric genre of music are really just looking for a loud and proud beat that blast their brains, this beat was a little slow and didn't change at all, no breaks, no variation, and no special FX like crash, or anything. Which really kills a song and makes it sound more repetitive than it already is.

The sounds you chose were alright, but they sounded really generic and plugin-ish. It's always good to try and create your own sounds.

So the best thing you could do is boost the speed, change up the beat now and then, add some excitement and some flare, make it more danceable!

Otherwise not bad, keep up the work :)

[Tetris-A-60sec-left]

Freaking love these songs.

No matter how many times I hear this I always love it!

Not much for originality in this, but it never said it was a remix ;) So great job! ((What program being used?))

Fl Studio 9 :-D

[Phenomenon - extended]

Masterful :D lol

Very good work on this one :D Love at :27 when it falls into the fast paced kind of old school mood :) Reminded me of so many awesome video games I used to play XD

There really isn't anything I could tell you to improve this though :/ it was just too good :D Great job! Thanks for uploading it!

[As if you never]

I don't listen to Ambient very much

But this is just amazing :)

Every once in a while the higher end pitches would get a little shrill (I'm boosting though) So it might be my fault, but over all this works really great together. You definitely know what your doing with this genre :D

[SR - Raw Grain]

:O OH BUDDHA!

Video games are awesome. . .

this was VG classic man, great job!! This would be great in some old time classic video game for sure :) Perfect work!

[Another Sad Song]

I like how you didn't 5 it yourself lol

If your the one in the music class you should be giving me criticism, but I will try and help you as much as I can :) lol.

at :51 and :58 in the piano I heard a few notes that just didn't fit very well... Like it fell out of key.

1:50 was probably my favorite part :) It just flowed very nice right there.

over all I liked what I heard, but it was missing some drive, like some beat to it. Even a shaker or some type of background to keep the beat and what not, though for this genre that might kill it, so you may disregard this lol.

There was a lack of lower end bass, which could be done with a cello or some type of string instrument to compliment the higher end violin, that usually sounds great, and if it's volume is compressed a lot it will sound ambient and fill in the spectrum very nicely :) I think XD

Really enjoyed it!

HotSax responds:

Yeah, I know. I was dying to add some more instruments to it, but we were only allowed to use two as a restriction.

At :51 it was probably because I used a ii-diminished chord to add some variety to the chord progression. At :58 I switch from a minor* 5th to a diminished 7 chord (I sharped the 7th inbetween the chords) to add some suspense to it, in an attempt keep people drawn into the music.

Thanks a lot for the review :), I'll keep all that in mind and possibly make a few touch-ups before it's played live.

Nice avatar btw.
