[jumppppppah]

Interesting stuff

I can bob my head to this and enjoy it which says a lot for a guy like me who generally dislikes dubstep...like any of it....I'm not sure what it is in particular but I like the warbles you have here, and they aren't repetitive enough to ruin the track, and the track is kept lively with a sort of "hardstyle" or "jumpstyle" type vibe. Nice work.

RayHo responds:

haha thanks dude! its a totally of like 6 patterns! haha
but imma work on it more today, and make it a actually track.

[The Cave Of Bad Dreams (Remix)]

Nice job.

Kind of an evil sound, but I like the harp-like instrument you have, and the soft sound. Haven't heard the original but I like this.

MetalJody responds:

Thanks. The original had kind of an evil sound too.

[WappaWappaV2]

Interesting.

What kind of comments are you looking for? Reply and I'll send you a pm with any comments I might have.

broseph120 responds:

just any way that it could be improved or what you liked about it. any feedback in general is good really haha
thanks for showing interest tho i appreciate it :)

[Shut Up and Listen]

mmmm....Nah

Not feeling it...at least not yet... It seems like it'd be just an intro to me. Seems like you could extend it, add some sort of effects... maybe notes on soft synths to sort of add some dynamic but keep it soft and pleasant to listen to. The synth here isn't anything to me... it's like a super ambience... almost as if ignorable, like the sound of waves at a beach when you're with other people... You care so much about having fun and talking to them, that the sounds of the waves don't even seem to exist anymore...

AnubisInc responds:

Yea I was going for that kind of feeling. But I just didn't do anything else to it. And I don't think I will. Maybe someone else in the group will pick it up? But Generally I'm the ambient and relaxing guy so I doubt it. Thanks for the review.

[Rubix Voice Over]

What's the point now?

I'm confused as to the purpose of it. Is it sort of a quick explanation to the rubik's cube and that's it, or is it to be used as some sort of source material?

MorbidlyCurious responds:

pretty much. Red Harvest(NG User) made a journal asking for someone to do a narration for him, and i just read and recorded his 'script'. That narration was explaining the fundamentals behind what makes a Rubick's Cube work

[Hyperlight Extended]

Interesting. Not quite my style, but pretty good.

I like the main synth, because it kind of sounds like 3x-osc, which I like for the sake of 8-bit music. I just think it would be better if the other instruments fit the sound as well, except the background/bass acid-like synth. To me it seems like it kind of fights with the lead synth for my attention, though don't take my opinion too seriously, since what you think of it matters most, and I'm sure others have more valid opinions.

Corona688 responds:

Thanks for reviewing!

I don't know what "3x-osc" is; the main synth is simple, pure squarewave, plus vibrato. Generating a squarewave is as easy as dividing the crystal frequency so it shows up in a lot of music synth chips.

I wonder what you're listening to this tune with? The lead ought to stand out from the bass synth since it's in surround sound and the bass isn't.

I'd never thought about this as a chiptune song. I could make it more chiptuney I suppose, especially the percussion.

[All The Way]

Wow...

It's got an ambient sound and has a beat you want to wiggle to... I haven't heard this before. Actually it's pretty good, and it keeps moving quite refreshingly. Love the synth you use too, soft yet strong enough to not be lost to the beat.

[Elevator Music]

It's nice, but a bit too complex in my opinion.

Like it fits the idea quite well, instrumentally it fits the elevator music idea, but the melody seems a bit fast and kind of more like a professionally done solo or something at a live performance...on the xylophone. Which I'm also agreeing with other people too about the background synth/pad. It sounds like it's getting ready to start a James Bond movie. I can almost see this playing in an elevator just before Bond gets out, and then it would start his actual theme. Good job.

[Riding Through The City]

I'm liking this.

I found this through someone's favorites who favorited one of my tracks haha. I like this though. The beat gets kind of old, but I'd rather you didn't change it, since I can't see it being anything else(ironic amirite?). The melodies here are great, and sooo catchy and warm. It'd be fun to listen to on a nice sunny day. Been planning on making a mix cd for a friend filled with good music of underground artists to show him that the radio plays overrated generic crap. Might throw this in there too. :D

[Electronic Synesthesia]

A bit heavy which I like.

I also like the main riff but not enough tocarry the song. I also like that sring you have going on(unless it's a slayer or plucked!) later on.

Slaytesics responds:

thnx man, it's not a slayer or plucked, I don't like those
