[Massive Shit in Mario's Sewers]

Yeah

Mario SBB style!
It's cool how it kinda sounds more sewerish (lol?) than the original. The glassy lead sounds great.
Nice work.

[KR- Sonic Adv 3 Chaos Angel]

This tune has grown on me.

But I think this one requires a major makeover in the mixing department. The melody is so hard to hear, the bass is way too loud and the accompaniment only makes things harder to hear. The tune is great, but it's unfortunate that it can't be heard clearly. Other than that, it's a great piece. I said it on your other pieces, but this one needs mixing most, and I know you're only using the FL demo, so you won't be able to edit it, so I'll just say that it's your biggest issue now, and keep that in mind for your future songs.

I'll give this one a 4/5, if the mixing was better, I'd give it a 5.

knuxrouge responds:

Okay, I'm practicing the mixing now, thanks for the tip.

[KR- Megaman Zero 3 climax]

Cool

It's great stuff. Your improvement since your cousin has been helping you has been immense. I've got an issue with the piano though, it's way too beefy for my taste, if I could change it, I'd shoot it up an octave and disperse the melody and some of the harmony off to some other orchestral instruments, for some extra variations.

It's still a great track. Maybe focus a little more time in the mixing.

I'll give you another 5. And now, I think I can add you to my audio favs.
Great work knux!

knuxrouge responds:

Thanks WB, I quite liked this one, It sounds epic, the power of FL keys is great isn't it, My cousin is an angel she is, am I'm sad to see her leave, she might be over next weekend if I'm lucky.

Glad I came up to standards.

[KR- Megaman Zero 3 C. Foxtar]

Loops well

I can see you're stepping up and making better audio. It sounds great, but this song requires better mixing, the piano is way too loud and drowns out the other instruments, which is a big issue, considering that it's only the harmony, not the melody, and since the lead is harder to hear, it sounds more repetitive. it loops well though.

Keep em coming, knx, I'm liking what I hear.
I'll give you a 5 to boost the score.

knuxrouge responds:

Thanks, I am getting better, thanks to my cousin.

[KR- Gravity Beetle Orchestra]

YES!!!!!

This is some great work, knux! I'll consider it collab worthy. The blend is quite decent. My only issue is the quality is a little fuzzy in parts (may just be my computer though...)
I'll 5'en this.
2.95/5.00 (+ 0.36)
It should be well above that...

Congratulations, it's a hit!

knuxrouge responds:

Thanks, I worked hard on it for days and just when I was about to call it quits, my cousin showed up and we stormed the FL program.

[-=(In The Sky)=-]

It's nice.

It's not profoundly memorable, or remarkably beautiful, but it's nice, and I'll give you that. The notes jump too far for my liking, as it comes across as a classical ambient piece. The flow doesn't sound as smooth as I'd like it to be. But it's not bad, as I've said, it's just nice.

Cheers, keep it up!

[==(Climbing a Snow Mounta]

Nice marimba-ish percussion

This sounds great. I'd like to hear more higher frequencies in the foreground of this piece, maybe, like a pan flute type thing. It has a dacent sound, once all the instruments are blended together, bass feels like it should be out of place with this sort of music, but it sounds nice at that low level. Piano adds a nice touch.

Good work. Those 2-3 weeks spent on this piece were clearly not wasted.

Cheers.

WB

[Will Make a Way]

Beautiful

This is a lovely ambient type classical piece. The slow tremolo type sound in the higher strings works very nicely. The use of accidentals is great, that way it gets under the skin. It's a great use of instrumental blend.

Top work.

WB

[Rig - Second To None]

That's funny

Because I planned on writing a song today and I never quite got past the finishing line. In fact, I only just got through the beginning, then started on something else. Well, actually, I downloaded a bunch of VSTs today and I was testing them out. But now I have two loose ends. Lucky I wrote two loops yesterday. I suggest you check them out now >: (
Please?

Neways, about the actual song...
Drums nice, bass nice, piano nice. I like the piano. Atmosphere is good. Strings are great, the echo is nice. It's good to see some awesome submissions already out in 08.
I don't know what else to say, well, this song is smooth, rig, and it sits well for a 5:37 song, which is nice. It has a soothing, almost ambient feel to it. Good job. 5/5, 9/10.

=D

-WB

PS, you suck eggs!
lol 10

Rig responds:

I suck eggs? Is that...BAD?
lololloll

Thanks for the review! I'll check out your loops, don't worry ;D
By the way, the guitar was made with a free VST called String Theory - download it from www.ugoaudio.com

[-Emotion Burst locomotion]

Hey, this is some cool locomotive music.

It's got a great vibe, high energy. It put a smile on my face.
The instrument blend is great.

High 5!
And ten.

Waterflame responds:

Yay writersblock! :D thanks for the so far always nice words :D glad you liked it! ^-^
