Yay.

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.

Whooaa Creepy

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?

DDgeek84 responds:

yes. I la-la-la-ed the hell out of that with garageband. I love garageband. :3

Awesome.

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.

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.

Oh Garage Band

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

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.

Thank you for your awesome review!

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.

SolusLunes responds:

Ha HA!

The thing is, this song was posted on Caps Day.

So... Yeah.

It's also true, I didn't really care too much :D

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.

Yeah it was trumpet :D the string shredding was defenitely the highlight of the song for me

Wow man. You really know how to make FL sound shiny and expensive. Well, i guess it is pretty expensive, but you know what i mean.
Perfect length, i didn't get bored the whole time.
Is that a train i hear? Well done, that's a new one. Never seen- er.. hear that before.
Excellent work.

WritersBlock responds:

Well, people are always quick to criticise the basic samples that come with FL, but some of them aren't all too shabby. I wanted to do something for the FL core competition a while back, but I couldn't work out how to pull it off. I guess I just needed the right moment to get it done.

YES

So true. You get 10/10 just for having sweet lyrics.
And aside from that, i'm not big on indie music, but i really enjoyed this. I didn't find anything particularly wrong, so good job.
Nice work.

BreakingFaces responds:

thanks!
I wish more people liked this one

West is my surname, as in the direction on the compass. Hence, Dj Compass! Music is my passion. I love love love it. So one day i bought FL. Hopefully i'll buy a nice VST one of these days... Images by Mysterious-Wind of deviantArt. Check out her art ^^
