"Yay."

submission: Happy Hardstyle Chocobo Theme

date: July 2, 2009

I've always loved the Chocobo Theme. And i also love this remix. It's pretty awesome.

-1 point because the off beat bass notes were the exact same through the whole song. Not as much to my liking.

HAVE A GOOD DAY.

Score: 10

"Whooaa Creepy"

submission: The Music Box

date: May 21, 2009

Wow that was creepy O.O
You set the theme artfully. I was shaking in my boots by the time the voices started laughing.
How did you make the voices? Did you just record yourself "la la la"-ing?

Score: 10

"Awesome."

submission: Concerto forTuba and Orchestra

date: March 27, 2009

This would be perfect if it were an orchestral score that i could buy and play with my school, instead of a sound file. But either way.
The awesome power of the tuba is horribly overlooked, but this does a good job of showing us how amazing it is.
POWER TO THE TUBA.

Score: 7

"Blaaahh, too much meterrr"

submission: The Nameless Castle

date: January 4, 2009

The rhythms here really feel like they could use some variation. And by some i mean a LOT. And the suddenly loud sort-of-climax at the end made my jump.
Also, there seems to be something of an atonality going on here, but perhaps that was intended for the mood of the song. The halfnotes-on-triplets kindof rhythm (that needed some variation) also did a pretty good job of adding a weird twitched out haunted house feel.

Score: 6

"Now where have i heard this before..."

Garage Band, am i right? You should try to change up the tunes a little bit, maybe swap out the instruments, try to make it more your own. Search around the internet, there's almost certainly tutorials somewhere that touch on making your own original music in Garage Band without needing to record things yourself.
As a song by itself, decent tune, the changes between instruments were perhaps a little bit sketchy, but it generally fits together pretty well. The beat fits nicely with your choice of tune.
But seriously, originality is the key here. I could make exactly this myself if i had a mac and half an hour, if that.

"<<<>>>"

submission: _-={An Unseen Dance}=-_

date: December 28, 2008

I dunno, it could be just me, but i think that a lot of your songs would be much richer if they had quieter quiets and louder louds. I feel like this song has a great sound and idea, but it's missing something. Maybe what you really need is a live orchestra to record.
Nonetheless, great work.

Score: 9

"Oh Garage Band"

submission: Chaotic Tinkering

date: December 12, 2008

As far as setting a mood goes, you've done an excellent job of making feel seriously creeped out. The only real complaint that i have is the lack of dynamics, but i understand that garage band isn't very helpful as far as that sort of thing, so good job!

Now make MOAR

Score: 10

"*****"

submission: TransAmbient Loop

date: October 26, 2008

Cool loop. The bass is a little difficult to discern from the rest, but it does make the loop that much more rich.
This is a very well done loop, all the synths blend together quite nicely to give a wholesome rich feeling. It makes me think of a sexy streamlined ship of some sort shooting through space. Well done.

Score: 10

"******"

submission: Tiesto Killed The Techno Star

date: September 18, 2008

You lose one point for most of the author comment being in all caps. It takes away from the general presentation of your song if you appear to be yelling. Though judging from the author comment, you won't really mind XD
The song itself is awesome. It kindof reminds me of old Megaman games. You managed to keep me interested the whole time, so that means it wasn't too repetitive, one of the great fall backs of a lot of electronica. It all sounded awesome. So since it was so great you get back the point you lost from all caps earlier.
Awesome job.

Score: 9

"******"

submission: .:HMS:. Ephemera MAC8

date: September 18, 2008

The snare in the first 20 seconds didn't sit right with me, and there were a few places that didn't quite sit right with me aside from that, but after it looped a few times i stopped noticing and rather enjoyed the coherence.
I got a little bored of the trumpet (?) pattern i was hearing for so long.
Aside from that and the general lack of dynamic that i can't really complain about (curse you computers and you inability to feel!!) I generally liked it. I liked the string shredding at 1:42 especially. Nice work.
