[Meathook]

Interesting...

Listening to this, I was waiting for the song to start, because what's here sounds like a very atmospheric and creepy intro to a song/album.
Of course, it ended without that song coming.

So really, what you have here is a creepy intro to something, with some well-placed piano and a beat. The beat is wierd enough to be creepy, but it doesn't really work out for the whole song because it lacks consistency and more importantly, a hook that will stay in my head after I'm done listening.

I can't say if this is how you intended for this to come out, but I'll have to assume so. In that case, you've got a nice piece here that is creepy enough, but is really lacking some depth.

This is your first submission, is this the first thing you've really tried to make? Just wondering, but either way, keep it up. I look forward to a more song-like song from you.

[Far Away]

Umm....

there's a real lack of interesting stuff going on here.

the beat is boring, and then changes to very clumsy and off beat.

the synths are really, really repetative.

there's no real ending, it just fades out, which isn't great.

the beggining, with the voice synth, is pretty dumb sounding added to the beat.

one good thing was the first lead synth that came in, but then that was repeated to death.

i can't say how much time went into this, but it really doesn't sound like much did at all. so try spending more time on these things.

Mr-green-apple responds:

its trance...or an attempt at it. Its supposed to take awhile to get into...even tho i understand that people like instant gratification. Techno is a lot of repetion too if you didnt know.(which im guessing you dont becuse your best rated shit is awful). This is also a work in progress if you didnt read. thx for answering my question numnuts. I also need a midi mixer.badly

[Fast Strategy]

great

that was really cool.

the only bad things were that it was repetitive, and that i didn't like the beggining so much. it felt like it should kinda jump right into the song, instead of that lead up. just a preference, 'cos i feel like it would suit the song more to just get going right off the back.

and loved the synths on this, some really, really cool stuff happening.

so great job.
try to make it longer, next time, especially 'cos the beggining isn't really friendly to looping.

culmor30 responds:

Yea, I was kinda thinking the beginning was too long also, I was just too lazy to fix it. D:

Anyway, thanks for the review!

[Composure]

Nice

I liked it, pretty catchy. The best thing was probably the way the song seemed to fit together so well, as nothing really seemed out of place to me.

So great job.

XDragonslayerX responds:

Thanks ya!

[windchimes]

Hmmm....

you said you were going for a mysterious feel, but the song was much too strong for that. it was more of an angry nature vibe than anything.

it was also pretty short, and kinda repetitive.

but it was overall not bad, so o.k. job there.

Moonasha responds:

thanks for the input and the review ^^

[Special Evil]

Alright....

so the music, mainly the synths, were good, if a tad annoying at times.

but the "muah-ha-ha-ha" was silly. it felt completely out of place, and it was also really, really annoying.

so yeah, next time lay off the voice, like guy below me said.

otherwise, pretty good song.

[Hell Space]

heh, cool.

i don't play enough doom to know exactly how much this resembles it, but i could see this song in any action-horror type game because it certainly fits the part.

intense enough at moments, and some great anticipation moments, so it was fun to listen to.

a bit repetitive though, and it didn't seem that clear to me. could just be my speakers.

good job.

Aresdev responds:

Yeah, on my computer speakers it didn;t sound so clear, but when I played it on my stereo it sounded better. I plan on fine tuning it, that might take a while. Check out my other stuff!

[Send Error Report?]

cool...

seeing the title, i was a bit worried this thing would be as annoying as hell.

but it was done very nicely, and the idea itself has merit. plus, the song is pretty catchy, and the fact that its done with error noises makes that all the more impressive.

great job.

Jimmypig responds:

Cheers man, I thought of the idea when a reoccurring error box was popping up and it made a sort of tune.

[-Continum-]

well,

it was kinda boring. the beat was ok, but that was kinda all there was to it. it was also really short, from what i could tell, and sounded pretty muddy.

i didn't like it very much, but nice try.

system-overload responds:

yeah its not very good. it was slow. but i tried out 3oxc some more

[Piany man]

ok...

i liked the melody of the piano and the beat, but like you said the song didn't really get anywhere.

still, its worth a listen or two, mostly because the piano is really good.

good job.

Sandwhich-lord responds:

tanks

i dont want to turn it into a techno song but maybe if i put in some synth it will go somewhere
