[KarmaLink: Kreepy Karnival]

damnz

thats not creepy XD

its just really annoying :O
youre absolutely right, the music box malfunctioned..

if you want a creepy atmosphere, try to make the song quiet and sinister, rather then busy and overenthousiastic :P

for example, try a simple dark-sounding arp, and build your song on that, with various background noises and some quiet drums

i hope i was helpfull

KarmaLink responds:

I bet it would be creepy if you were in a shut down carnival and this just started out of nowhere:) But I didn't like the way it came out eaither. Time Flow Temple Came out perfect. So I tried To make a carnival song (like from silent hill or something)
Thanks for the review though!

[Always Greener]

not bad

it doenst really work..

the piano melodie is just wrong, it doesnt really work with the rest of the synths
maybe try to look for a more arp-ish piano sound, not so "all over the place" if you know what i mean

on the other hand, the song has an interesting progression, and its quite full, lots of things going on :D

cRAVE01 responds:

^_________________^ thank you much!

[iR* Rebels of the Night]

mwa

hmm the electric guitar is to slow when switching chords, and mayb the drums are a bit too slow, at least in the first part..

result, a song thats kinda empty and lacks harmony

it does get better after the song progresses, but then (2.50) you break the chord down and throw out a solo with a different filter or something, doesnt really fit.. nicely played anyhoo :D

your individual skills are not bad, but your skills as a band (assuming the drums arent computer generated) need work!

Iranarama responds:

Thanks for the constructive criticism. You didn't just bash the things you didnt like, but told me what to improve, which is something NO ONE seems to do anymore!

The drums are computer generated haha, i had to put em all together so it was difficult. Its my 2nd song using drums. So it was a bit hard for me to put it together. I put it the drums first then i played guitar on top of it.

Once I get all my songs together I'll be going to a real producer and a studio so I can add this "harmony" to them all ahah ;)

Peace out Rwinius.

[:( before christmas]

ah..

im not really into new wave, but i try to review and vote objectively, as one should.

you do have a build-up, a climax (weak though, but its there), interesting melody-streams, and nice use of harmonics..

not my style, again, but i value your effort

merlin responds:

Thanks for your input! I'm glad to see you're an honest person who tries to expand your knowledge. Thanks for branching out there, and listening to my song.

[/Ascension\ Take 2**]

okay

aha! maybe the percussion could be a bit more present :D

and a climax! would defenitely help
with that i mean an interesting progression in your song, to arouse interest

its still good though!
keep it up

[New Glacier]

ouch

well not bad, its just not very interesting too me, im not a fan of the hiphop art
(naturally that wont affect my sense of judgement)

the intro is quite nice, but long, and a bit boring..
after that comes a part with false simplistic piano play, just really surreal..

i cant really put any interest in this, but its not dramatic or anything, at least it has structure and some form of variation..
not a bad try!

Mexican-Dessert-Pie responds:

you're right it is a sorry attempt at a song.
I running through a limited selection of samples which is making it difficult to express anything too versatile.
but thats going to change soon.
I'm just waiting to get a hold of the right equipment.

[{Wherever}]

wow

if you truly worked on this for a week, maybe you should consider choosing another hobby o.o

not too be a jerk, but this isnt really music im afraid

it lacks structure, as well as a bassline, counterpart melodies and the melodie that is present is chaotic and random.

no drums, no build-up, just a simple random, unharmonic melodie

im sorry mate, try again

[so cool-]

well..

its hiphop alright (not my genre at all)
but ofcourse it would be a disgrace if that would influence my objective reviewing :D

the song would work as an intro, but nothing more..
it needs a build up and a climax!

also some synth variation wouldnt hurt (thats just an addition though)

well nice intro, i hope i didnt misunderstand, and the whole thing is just the intro, if that is the case please ignore my critisizm :D

keep improving!

Two-Shekel responds:

thank you for your review,

hip hop beats in general don't build, but i'm glad u tried to help

-Shek

[No More Tricks]

accually,

omg, did you hire james bond for the voicing? :P

not bad, a little slow, and simple song
id recommend a series of dynamics, and some chaotic countermelodies would help as well

try to devellope your song as it progresses, that'll make it more interesting

this would be suited as a background melodie for eighter another song, or a game (which is the purpose of the audio portal after all), but in general not very special as a stand alone song..

well that kinda covers it i guess.

[A Kinda Spacey Loop]

almost!

almost usable :P

a little too busy too accually be used, but a great job nonetheless!
maybe remastering would help..

well anyhoo i like it :D
