[I Still Hate You]

Meh...so-so

It was pretty good, but there were TONS of things to fix. Everything needs to be equalized better (or you simply need better recording equipment), you guitar frequently sounds out of tune and so do your vocals on occasion. I don't know if you laid down those tracks separately, but you should if you didn't and really listen to what they sound like and make sure that is the best sound you can get (I'm not trying to insult you, so don't feel insulted). What I'm saying is that it wasn't bad, but it definitely could have been better.

Crazy-Train responds:

Ok for starters YOU ARE RIGHT! I know I normally layer it better. Also equalize it to work better. What happened was a girl I once liked kinda screwed me over. She came back and fucked me over even more. In a pissed of rage (and a bottle of jack) I recorded this once. Yes it could be better, but I decided to leave it sounding kind fucked up. Mainly because the relationship was equaly fucked up. Thanks for the constructive review. This is an older song I recorded and when she fucked me over again I decided to post it again. I will not do anything else with this song. My next is going to be much better. Thanks again.

[Smurfs TRANCE!]

Crazy!

OMFG, this is so weird. The only reason why I gave you a 9 on diversity is because I got really sick of the initial smurf theme (the first part after the intro) really quickly. I also have to say that I don't know if I like some of the choises you made on what sounds to use, but that's really just a question of personal taste. So why did you make this?

Demongo666 responds:

well my brother made a funny movie with some of his freinds a comedy and they chose smurfs as a theme for the editing. So he asked me to take smurfs theme and make a Trance style track.

[Hyperventilation pII Hysteria]

Friggin' awesome!

I loved it! Entertaining to the end. My only suggestion is that you add more to your song (which is why I gave you a 6 on diversity). You have part A and part B, but maybe consider adding a part C and maybe even a part D. Simple ABA form works well (part A - part B - part A) works well, but why not expand it a little more? Still, great work!

lennen13 responds:

when
i do get around to it I will deffinetly take that into consideration, little pressed for time but deffinetly some diversity will come up in p III

[Kompactor Seven]

I like it, but...

Score Explanation:
Origninality 10 because it was your own creation.
Diversity 6 because there wasn't more than two "parts" to your song...you need more.
Clarity 10 because there was no problems in the audio output.
Effort 10 because...um...yeah, 10. :)
Overall 7 because it was good, but some things I had trouble with.

It is a good song, but at the second part there is simply too much happening all at once. I heard that there are multiple lines going on, but you should figure out which ones or what parts of those lines are the important ones, otherwise its kind just a brick of sound. Also, you may want to consider adding an ending. Other than those two small things, great job!

Gporev responds:

Hey first of all thanks for writing a detailed review. The diversity deficet was due partly to a time constraint on my part. i'll be sure to adress those other issues in my next track. Cheers
~Gpo R.

[Speed 0f Light]

A fix to consider...

This song is AWESOME, unfortunately it sounds as though you aren't watching the output levels on your track as the sound constantly seems to distort. Either try using a compressor on your track if you know how or just turn the master volume down enough that it doesn't max out all the time.

[you cant touch this-SPEED MIX-]

Sorry to be harsh, but...

YOU HAVE GOT THIS SHIT ALL WRONG. GO LOOK IN THE RULES FOR UPLOADING AUDIO.

"1. You are making the legal claim that it is your own original work.
2. Loops you made from existing copyrighted songs are not your own original work."

SINCE YOU CANNOT MAKE THE LEGAL CLAIM THAT YOU WROTE 'YOU CAN'T TOUCH THIS'" AND PROBABLY NOT ANY OF THE OTHER CONTENT YOU SUBMITTED. IT ISN'T SIMPLY A QUESTION OF YOU SUBMITTING IT EITHER. NEWGROUNDS CAN GET IN TROUBLE FOR HOSTING COPYWRITTEN MATIERAL AS WELL. I SERIOUSLY HOPE THAT YOUR IP GETS BANNED SIMPLY FOR THE SHEER STUPIDITY OF YOUR ACTIONS (NAMELY NOT READING THE FEW RULES THERE WERE). GO TO HELL.

skipperr12 responds:

ya know, your right. now i want you to say this to just about every song in the videogames mix area.
yes, this song is copyrighted or whatever, but so is mario,kirby,final fantasy...the list goes on.
now if your really concerned about this. then,as i said, yell at everyone else too. and please, for the record, be a little more civilized in your reviews. that would be nice. i mean really..."go to hell"? c'mon man, is that really making either of our lifes any easier?

[°°Experiment 001°°]

Good and Bad

Good because I liked how "brought the funk." I also appreciated the diversity in sounds you used.

Bad because I thought that the drums would probably sound better if you used a live recorded loop instead of creating your own from samples (which is at least what it sounds like to me). Also, when it finished I was left going, "that was it?" I would say make it longer and develop your musical ideas more; perhaps even put in a different section that develops a separate idea (like a bridge or something of that nature). Great work in any case.

Whirlguy responds:

Yeah i know, it sounds pretty good, but i didnt feel like working on it anymore so i kinda though: "done" so i posted this as an experiment. Btw, I do not use loops for the beat, i think it makes it... not your own. Thanks for the review(:

[Pizzicato ReduX]

Excellent, although still needs some fixes...

I love what you did with my piece! My only complaint is that the sampled sound still feels like it is slightly ahead of your overdubbed beat. I also think that you should have made it a little longer and added a middle section to it. Otherwise, you are absolutely right...it is your best work yet!

f2x1 responds:

ThanX Chris , but as i sayed you deserve 50% credit from this one!

[Piano fest Beta]

Its getting there!

I like it, but I think that the drums sound a little far out for what you have going on with the piano. I mean you should keep the low drum, but it is the higher drum that sounds out of place the most. You should also incorporate the guitar a little sooner and give it a larger and more important part in the piece, otherwise it doesn't sound like it belongs.

I still love the harmonic progression of it, but it needs a melody (hard to write a good one, though...*beware*). Also, good job on figuring out how to control the volume level of the whole piece.

Pyrostudios responds:

I did give it sorta a melody its more of a repeating thing in between the two parts

[a piano fest!]

Pretty Good!

I like what you have done, however you should consider adding more instruments, like I can hear strings or something like that. I can still appreciate if your intention was just piano and percussion. However, there is one problem (why clarity is an 8)...you need watch the volume level of your track. It peaked too high at one point and started sounding distorted. Maybe try using a compressor? Other than that I like it!

Pyrostudios responds:

yeah i think i should turn it down....i am editing it as i type this and makin a beta version i am just trying to make a good track for th ecollab if i get in!
