"Great"

submission: (FMC) -=Soaring=-
date: March 1, 2008

Kind of reminds me of snowboard kids, the quick upbeat happy style, I love this style. The synths probably could be a bit better, the piano is cool, the others could use some more character, reverb, give them less of that conventional VG sound and go with something more original.
Great composition, it's sweet, awesome to listen to and enjoy. Good job.

The Grass Can Be Greener

"haha"

date: March 1, 2008

great use of vocals, I love that robotoid sound. Awesome. The instrumentation is pretty cool, but a little repetitive, so the vocals really made the song. If you could somehow incorporate this with serious lyrics and a more varied and extended instrumentation, you'd have a pretty awesome daft punk-ish song on your hands.
Good job.

"Nice solo"

submission: Cry - J
date: March 1, 2008

The instruments with the piano sound pretty decent, you play it well, the solo part is prett cool. I'd suggest turning the drums down a bit, they seem to get in the way of the piano, I think. Overall, it's a great song, nice and easy to listen. Good job. I enjoyed it.

Lost in a Cloud

"Loud"

submission: Lost in a Cloud
date: March 1, 2008

It's really loud, a little bit of distortion going on. The impression of the tune and dynamics isn't really cloud like, but it is a cool tune, you could probably develop it into a proper tune fairly easily and it would be great.

Good work, it's a great start.

Jazz Scientist[Coldplay Cover]

"Unlike the others,"

date: February 28, 2008

I HAVE heard the original, and, sadly, this one doesn't stand up to it. The chords are too strong, the lead is beautiful, but in this cover, it's just too hard to hear, it should be coming crystal clear over the top. The soloing kind of distracted away from the main melody, which I think is a bad thing. It would sound a lot better if you softened down on the chords, brought the lead out a lot more, and structured it better, add in a section in the middle, specifically for the solo, so that it doesn't get in the way of the melody. I think it'd be worthwhile to add the vocals in, because as it is now, the melody doesn't linger in your mind like the original does, but maybe that'll improve if you bring the lead out. Overall, I think I'm just being picky because you've picked a really soulful song to cover, and you've done a good job, but it's not brilliant. It's too clustered.

Keep working at it!

It wasn't my idea to make the exact same song, it was my idea to give it a twist.

"I really like this tune."

date: February 26, 2008

Your version has its charm, but I've got to agree with shizeet that you could have brought the lead down and the background up. One of the things that really bugged me about the original tune was that the lead part only played when you weren't moving. Other than the volume, this is a decent track, brings back the memories.

Good job.

"Nice and simple"

submission: 2Flutes1Guitar
date: February 25, 2008

There's a little stutter when it loops though. Other than that, it's a nice short sweet loop. I might suggest to put the flutes up a bit higher, they sound like they're at the bottom of the register, and I think it'd really bring out the melody better higher up. Maybe the first time could be normal and the repeat could be up the octave? Then maybe you could vary thendings a bit to loop into each of the 2 parts. Just a suggestion, it's a nice loop.
Keep up the good work!

"Atmosphere is nice"

date: February 25, 2008

The different layers of piano is nice. I really like the higher part, it fills it out pretty well. A tiny bit of clipping going on in a couple of spots, although it's good for the most part. There's a part at the end where the volume randomly jumps up, but apart from the small things here and there, it's a solid track, this is one of my favourite sonic tunes, and it sounds really cool with the piano. Good job.

The volume jump was intentional. It was suposed to serve as a small shock--for the spooky feel I gave it. In any case, thanks.

KR- Sonic CD Wacky Workbench

"Yup, funkay"

date: February 23, 2008

Hang on... let me go get my afro on. Rollerdisco, anyone? Yeah, this song is full of groovy fresh 70's funk. The progression is simple, and I kind of miss a melody here, but it;s cool as a background track, it's nice and settled, good to chill to.
Keep it up knux.

Celestial Skies

"Wow"

submission: Celestial Skies
date: February 23, 2008

This is smooth. It's very relaxing, lovely ambient sounds going on. The volume on the harp is quite intricate and beautiful, wonderful expression, as with the piano. It's like someone were actually playing them. The phaser and the more synth-ish instruments sound great.
You really hit the spot with this song. Gets my 5.
Beautiful work.
