[Solus- I Love the Clouds]

I Love Clouds too! ^_^

This is a nice song to listen to. Lots of fun. It has a kind of dry preset-ish sound to it, in that the string type sound lacks some extra texture in that when you play it at that speed, it's obvious that each note is the same. I think some reverb there should give it a bit more depth. But there's something about that digital sound that gives this song the sweet nostalgic "looking at the clouds" thing. I think it would sound good with some more realistic type effects, but I also think it sounds good like this. Yes, very useful comments there "you could change this, but you don't have to" =P. The way it's composed it really great, and that style fits with that digital instrument type sound there. The piano melody is really sweet and it's very enjoyable to listen to, so I'll quit complaining about digital effects and enjoy the song.

*thumbs up*

I will see about the strings. :D

Thanks for teh reviewz :D

[(_RGH_) Soul Drain (Robotrip)]

Cool loop

This is great for a very short loop. Everything sounds great. Although I can't help but feel that if you doubled the length and added a lead, it would sound even better.

Great work, well worth the use in animations/games. I hope it gets used. You've got a great sound here.

I do like to solo/jam over this little loop.

If something smashing pops up, then i shall post

[CTSG2 - Morphin' Madness]

Front page dis naow!!!

I liked da fourth part da bestest. =P
Lol, nah, it all turned out pretty awesome in the end, 4 minutes of awesome randomness that requires animating now.

3 plz!

[<Me & the expression of me>]

Better

Better than the others you wanted reviewed. It does lack depth though. The one instrument on its own is not enough to keep my interest, especially since it only lasts for 14 seconds before repeating. Maybe add in a music box for the higher frequencies, and maybe a theremin in the middle, with low volume, they would bring out the creepiness that you have started here. Not bad, needs work. Build on from this, and it might be pretty good.

[Squirrel Hum]

Boo, quality!

The quality is very poor, the fuzz mkaes this sound clip pretty pointless... If you remove the fuzz, it would be better, but it doesn't really remind me of squirrels. If you somehow used this in an innovative way, like in a song, or you made it better than the other squirrel effects available on the net, then it might be worth something to some people. But, again, effort is required, and I don't see much here... Throwing together a bunch of sounds lasting less than 10 seconds doesn't earn you my respect as a musician or sound effects guy, or whatever.

[Gothclawz Beat]

Loops ok

but it lacks tune, it lacks melody, it lacks harmony, it lacks a lot of things. It's just an overly fuzzy weak percussion loop that anyone could throw together. Like the other ones, it lacks effort.

Conal responds:

The others do NOT lack effort.

[Robot Sound Effect: 1]

1 second isn't a long time

You should consider making these sound effects longer and actually turning them into something a little more unique. It sounds like random noise. It could be for a laser gun, but it could be for a lot of things, whereas an animator will probably want to make damn sure his sound effects actually sound like a laser gun or whatever.

LMAO!!!

[My Guitar - Modified]

Bleh

Just noise really. I don't really consider this much of anything. A bit too offensive for the ears, not really appealing for animation sound effects, but it's not really a song either. It sounds to me that you just muched around, recoded some weird junk, turned the volume up and clicked "submit".
I like to listen to audio that has a decent amount of effort put into it. This was lacking effort.

Conal responds:

Its brilliant, I can't convert.

[Robot Sound Effect: 2]

Not bad

I agree that if you string together a whole lot of these, you could make a sound fx pack for flash authors.

Not much else to say.

[My Ideo of Hell]

Mixing could use some work

It sounds way too clustered and hectic and loud, which could be fixed by the mixing. I'm guessing that you were aiming for that sound, but I think that it would sound much better with that creepy agressive atmosphere if it were articulated with precision and everything placed in the mix with attention to detail, which would sound more slick and professional and more tidy, while still bringing out the hellish themes. With that out of the way, I'll say that you did capture the mood pretty well, and this would probably fit rather well in a disturbing flash, but I agree that the ending needs to be touched up on.

Good job.
