[Worst Mistake]

Feel like the character of your voice needs a bit more work. Like, its good what your going for, but just doesn't quite come off strong enough. On top of that the lyrics don't do you to many favours. Allthough they are ballsy in how personal the are, its how they are personal that doesn't quite do it. They sound like depressive ramblings, if you can think more concisely of a topic to centre such ramblings around, something to give it more purpose that would make the song a lot more strong. Also, the beat sounds rather plain. Not in a melodic sense, but in the production/ mixing. The bass and drums don't smack, due to their sound. The piano loops is a bit boring. Sooo yeah. I'd suggest work on it alot more. Try and stay focused. Perhaps find a reference track, an artist you like the sound of. And then once you've recorded try listening to your track, and theirs, and see how t compares in quality. and if it doesn't, then put more work in.

[|R|Shift Recoil]

I quite like the melody and 8 bit styles. But the drum sounds are really lacking. Kinda made me feel a touch more deflated about it then I should. Bass is nice though.

Radiationator responds:

Thanks for your review! Even though I like the drums on this song, I know what you are talking about. I recently got some new drum packs, so my drums will have a better sound in future songs :)

[The Girl that Makes me Smile]

This is why love should be illegal. Makes us lonely people feel so crippled inside. When we want some, and see the signifiers, but can't have none. Dope piano piece though. Sorry, I got self indulgent for a moment there... Its very very pretty.

Jabicho responds:

Man, I feel your pain, guess we all go through those moments, where it hurts so bad to feel lonely. Thanks for checking my piece! It means a lot, I'm happy you liked it

[Rejoice!InTheResurrection]

I like this, despite my ideas upon jesus. Find it rather soothing. Have no issue witht he piano sound unlike the poster below. Felt it sounded fine. The more epheral, ambienty tones work really well to give this texture too.

SoulSecure responds:

Thank you for your review!

[Star Arise]

The bass underneath rumbles nicely. But I feel the guitar sound is way off. It sounds like a MIDI vst type of thing, that just can't get close to the real sound its trying to imitate. That said I think the synth works really well. Drums are a bit quiet in the mix. I know rock music sometimes has a tendency too do that, but I think it would give this song a lot more punch if they were up higher. I can't hear kicks that should be there to give it umph.

MCarsten responds:

Hello,

The file really is a .MIDI, but converted. I created the song using Finale Notepad 2012, converted it to a .MIDI file and then converted to .mp3. I prefer how this sounded like. Thanks for enjoying the synths, I think they fit the song well too.

I see what you mean about the drums, although I prefered to maintain the drums at the same volume as the overdrive guitar because I wanted to detach the bass sound which gives the main harmony of the song.

Thanks for reviewing,

[Oak Hearts]

Really enjoy this. Really cool production and mixing. The riffs are really powerful, and your voice cruises along nicely, but maybe doesn't quite have the power to match the music? I think too, the way it sits within the mix, and the tone in which its set, just sounds a touch mumbly, making harder to understand your lyrics. Perhaps that's because of how the vocals have been double tracked. I'm being over critical though. It's still really strong music, that stuff on the vocals is a minor complaint...

Chaz responds:

Thanks for the review, not overly critical in the slightest. I don't consider myself a singer at all, so anything that isn't blasting it as the most awful thing ever is a bonus :)

[Beatdown]

Sick. Not a huge fail. Somehow your song made my flash crash. Was having fun before hand though.

Byonex responds:

Haha, thanks, man. Sorry if this song is a little distorted, the levels seemed to rise after I rendered it :(

[Friction-Zero]

YEAHHHHHHH! I like to break windows to this shit. Great sound.
