[DJ Bossler-Jekyll Jekyll Hyde]

Nice

The melodies could be changed a bit tho. The voice kinda "filters" over the music track. (Bass and everything else becomes softer)- 2:35 I was expecting a bit of an speedup with a sinch of crazy-nes. Overall good though....

bossler13 responds:

thanks for the review! i would have made it a lot better, but sadly i didn't have great vocals to work with. It really turned out a lot better than I thought it would. Glad you enjoyed it though!

[DJ Bossler - Pump It Up]

Nice!

Well, it would be more epic if during a transition you added a noise swell....WHHHHOOOSSHH BAM

bossler13 responds:

yea, you're right. I've totally been forgetting to add some reverse crashes to my transitions...I'll have to fix that

Thanks for the review man! glad you like it

[<EagleGuard> Dawn]

Niceley made

Ok, First thing, Cymbals...it dosen't stand out much for me..., I can hear it, but it's not a great volume in transition sounding. The Cymbals not geared for transitioning are still quiet-ish.
I could imagine a Choir singing in Latin for this song.
The Rhythm guitar fades 1:36, it is audible but just barley.overall this song sound more like of a "We cant lose" type of song.

EagleGuard responds:

Haha, a straight-to-the-point review =p I find it annoying when people make the cymbals too loud, so I make them a bit softer on purpose. Then again, they could use a slight boost, but I don't find it that disturbing to be honest.

I do have a choir patch, and was thinking about using it, but in the end I thought it wouldn't be of much value. Also, I don't have such a choir in my back garden unfortunately, so making them sing exactly in Latin will be difficult xD

I'll try to focus a bit more on mastering next time, so things like rhythm guitars are a bit more noticeable.

Thanks for the review!

[The Way of 8-Bit (W I P) FIX]

Well it's kinda misleading.

Nice melody none the less, But this is more above the realm of the 8-bit I was told it was. (The title)
Needed-
Claps
Snares (to enhance the kick)
some hi-hats (For the more energetic part!
Re-verb kicks (They are always usefulll for transition)
----
You should start this song out as 8-bit, then slowly phase the rest of the intruments to non-8bit. The tempo feels a little slow where it's supossed to be fast (BPM) It feels like 140BPM to me, i suggest around 150-160 BPM when the heavy kicks get in.
The ending kinda is the "wow, what the crap" I get the intro. but i don't get the ending.

djresset responds:

this is only the WIP ending and i will have a better one on the full

[Digital Hallows]

awesome

some of the abrupt ending kinda puts me off though.
The percussion's beep sounds like a synth to me kinda dosen't do much in terms of the song. I think you shoulda used the "Scratchy" sound a bit more in magical 8-bit plug

DarcX responds:

Yeah, the "snare" I used was too much of a definite pitch, I suppose. I'll have to experiment with that a bit more. Thanks for the review and the rating. I'll be making more! :D

[RiRi's Song]

nice but

the effects and the percussion, could be lowered. The background synths are ok, just neeed to be a tad bit louder. The whole thing is the fact that the percussion/ effects are overpowering the melodys.

JackRocker responds:

i can see that being an issue. thanks for the review! i'll take your advice into consideration...i think i need new headphones though..mine kinda color my sound differently.

[DKC2 ~ Stickerbrush Symphony]

Compression needed alot.

The song is peaking so much it hurts the ears. The melody dosen't really need to be so loud-ish. The bass replacements., really blend in and are like that short kid in a crowd of tall people, basically it's there but hardly noticeable.
I'd start using some compression tools.

seel responds:

There's a lot of compression in there, and I don't see where this alleged peaking is occurring. Fixed the bass, and thanks for the review.

[{DJWT} Is It Really You?]

Kickin' Kick and Ravin' Leads

The Lead synths around 0:35-0:40 Need some more depth.
The snare is hiding it's faint but I can hear it.
The Piano does get a Bit repetitive though.
When the Piano takes a hike for the synth near the end, seems like it needs a bit more of a transition to it, don't know how'd it work.

MSXOmega responds:

The thing around 0:35 - 0:40 is a high pass filter, it's supposed to do that. :P The snare was originally louder, but I think a more minimalistic approach fits it better. As for the piano, I didn't really figure out how to make it transition well, I agree that it sounds kinda weird there. Thanks for the review!

[{DJWT} Gold (wip)]

Nice

---Great song, I do see that it is not truly done--

Perhaps a Trailer/ The Sweeping synths hind behind the music. The little trance-ish Plucks in the beginning sound a bit off the "Dammit, they're overshadowing me" bit.
The Piano could use some change-up in the melody. To be honest at around 2:53 it really makes me believe that it's gonna be a energetic portion/ Or perhaps a Buildup leading to an Energetic burst. This song seems too "Middle" Heavy. or it sounds as if most of the Backup/ Background Synths/ Pads/ Swells are on one Side.
------------
From what I'm hearing. I believe this can be used for...
1.) A Video Game Introduction Sequence, or a Video Game Trailer.
2.) This does sound like a "Yeah I'm going to exact my lawful revenge on you for what you did" type of thing, in where the Main character is indeed innocent, However due to Self Guided Justice and Delusions believes that he's the person who took all things precious away.
-------------
After all and all, I can't wait for this song to be finished, and see what's there!
-Keep up the good work!

MSXOmega responds:

Thanks! I can see what you mean by the song being too middle heavy, I'll be sure to change it if I finish this. :P
