[Wander of Thought - F-777]

Interesting musical meanderings

I didn't expect it to be so long, but the length, I'll admit, does allow for several variant themes to emerge quite nicely.
I definitely recognize those first few seconds from some other second of yours, right up through the beginning of the trance, though. I notice you tend to reuse elements of successful songs, and it accomplishes its goal well -- people like to hear what they like.

I can't say it's your most perfect song, but it's quite nice, even majestic at parts [2:00]. And the transitions are excellent.

[\Psychedelic Remix/]

Dude, this is fucking amazing!

I like this even better than the original.

Really nice job, I can't even find anything to criticize, except it gets a little empty in the middle. But it's still really, really nice.

Adamaja456 responds:

thanks man! yea i really wasn't sure how to approach the middle so im not 100% happy with that whole transition, but im glad you heard the original so you can compare them :D thanks again <3

[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.

[Bleep Bloop]

Doesn't work.

Main concept not bad, but the Chip Arp or whatever that is does not work well with the other instruments in the song. This piece starts nowhere and goes nowhere.
Not a bad beginning, though.

Why two minutes?

This is one very short loop repeated for the duration of a song. What is the point?
Try harder next time.

[as far as you can]

Not too bad.

I'm not sure the voice samples actually help anything, but nice beat / instruments!

[Jungle Slide Express]

This isn't perfect

But it definitely deserves more than the 0.42 it had before I voted on it.

It's a cute little loop, very uppity, could become annoying to listen to after a couple of minutes. Also doesn't loop perfectly.

Not bad though.

[Drake (DNVB) ~dnb~]

Doesn't work.

For so many reasons, this song just does not work at all. I can definitely see some elements that have potential, like around 0:50 - 1:00, but these are an exception to the rule that is the rest of the song.

Too many odd scratches and sounds that clash.

[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.
