[Voyage of the Star Mariner]

Well,

The primary melodic instrument is not bad, but the melodies of the bass and secondary instruments are odd and clash with the primary, which also has some atonal properties to it that should be fixed.
The drum beat also needs a lot of work, you need to figure out how to make it really back up the song instead of getting in its way.

Bacon92 responds:

Thanks, I'll keep that in mind when I plan to remix it.

[Something Evil Drifts]

Good for a start

As previous reviewers have remarked, a real song takes more than just adding a few beats together along with some bass. The voice clips especially are very cheesy as they are the default ones included with FL and are used far too often.
Try obtaining more samples and playing around with the piano roll and patterns to create new beats of different varieties.

ZombiePowerDrink responds:

I appreciate the remarks and will probably buy the full software and really put an effort in next time.

[Breakcore]

Not bad,

but the notes, as the previous reviewer said, are off, and that deprecates the overall value of this song and makes it rather hard to listen to.

Your beat is not bad, though.

cky12qxz responds:

Well, thanks for reviewing this!
Anyway, in breakcore genre you just layer everything.
So that's why it sounds out of tune.

[Stomp The Beat]

I'm saying this to be nice...

You need to understand the elements that make up a good beat before you make a track. In some points you do put together a decent rhythm, like around 2:00, but often your syncopation is off.
The rate of the bass sounds you add do not match up with the beat, and though the beat does vary, there are no clearly defined points that mark the transitions between the segments.
Specifically, at the beginning, the beat is off from a natural rhythm.
You also need more sounds and different frequencies filled to make it a song rather than just a beat.

I hope this helps at least a little.

deathmage12 responds:

Thanks for the advice. I only made this because i was just bored with nothing better to do. But I'll take your advice to mind next time i try.

[Healing Ocean]

You're very good at playing.

I'm not sure this is a song, though, despite the fact that it sounds great. It would make for excellent background music for something.
If I had to name it, though, I'd say, "Journey Through the Soul", because it's very gentle, mostly, and very soul-touching.

MarkySpark responds:

Thanks for taking time out, appreciated. I will add your name "Journey through the Soul" to the short list. Thanks again

[Shadows of Rave]

Really nice!

Amazing piece! This ranks as one of my top faves ever.
If you want a suggestion, and I don't know if you do, try changing your pitch a little towards the middle/end of the song, it gets a little repetitive.

Shinrog responds:

I like it repetitive :) DEAL WITH IT!

[Os Vs Mjattie -of Softest Rain]

This is amazing!

A great piece of artwork. The piano is fantastic most of all.
Very inspiring, touches the soul.
Awesome job, keep it up!

ObsidianSnow responds:

Thanks a lot, One Who Listens!

[Andre's Anime Demo 2009]

This is perfect!

Great voice acting, and you caught the anime character perfectly.

industrialplayground responds:

Haha Thanks

[Just to Remember [ver.2]]

Pretty good, not as good as the first imho

I see what you were going for with the drums, but they didn't really add anything and took away from the purity of the music.

EvilScorpio responds:

Thanks))) Then you can check out the first version, it has no drums)))

[Just to Remember]

Love the sounds!

Are those bagpipes? They sound a lot thinner, but they add a lot to the music. This is really great, though, the gentle, soft, flowing sounds go great together.
It's beautiful music for the soul.
Great job!

EvilScorpio responds:

Thank you very much))) I'm glad you like it)))

P.S.: Nope, it's not a bagpipes)) This instrument is called Zurna. It's from Caucasus. =)
