Cool
This is a nice riff. I'd love to put my guitar in there instead of the slayer though, the slayer gets a bit overwhelming after a while, I'd like to see a bit more variation here.
I'd also love to hear a bit of a string section in the background, a bit of an orchestral touch about halfway through to take the edge off the guitar.
Keep 'em coming.
Thanks WB, I'm glad you liked it. Your comments have been noted.
heh slayer
Sounds alright, slayer is fun to mess with, but only a handful of people can get a realistic sound out of it, I prefer a real guitar.
But for just messing about, it's pretty cool.
Thanks, I'm gonna look for an actual guitar VST soon for the collab.
Better, already.
Drums were good. The mix of instruments were good, now I think you need to extend upon what you've already got to fill it out, make it more exciting. It would be great to have a contrasting section that is much more busy and full of energy to contrast what you have now, which is fairly quiet. That would give the song a great atmosphere and bring the whole thing to life.
Keep em coming, you're making decent progress for your second song.
WB
Thanks for your review, I'll be sure to have a diverse selection of music, especially when I get the skill to compose a Sonic remix.
Slick
Nice harmonies. Drums are done well XD
I really like the little interlude type part where you break from the traditional tune. One thing that you did better than the other MAC entries was giving the upbeat christmas tune a videogame feel, with the harmonies and the middle part, it fits better with the 8-bit theme, whereas other people are turning christmas tunes 8-bit without making them right for the videogame vibe. Although it's not as original as rucklo's, there's the interlude and the very slick 8-bit jingle bells melody with a bit of original spin. So, for that, I'll give you a 9/10 and 5/5.
If you get the time, would you mind checking out my MAC entry, I'd really appreciate your opinion.
Cheers. Well done.

Nice one
Intro is not bad, chords are a tad too jumpy for my taste, but it settles down quite well. Drums are cool, very "chillin". Love the instrument that's just sitting in the background at around 1 min. Atmosphere effects are good. Piano has a nice, almost "rubato" feel to it, a bit of a soft surging effect. Wobbly synth sounds awesome, used to great effect. End is nice, smooth. Lovely tune here, SBB. Professional sounding. Great work. I'll give it a 9/10 and 5/5 for ya.
And is it too much to ask you to check out my last track?
Cheers.

Nice...
Sounds are very reserved, by that I mean that they stay in their comfort zone. It sounds nice, but doesn't go for the "wow factor" type thing, but that's cool since you're going for the menu music sort of thing. It's a nice piece, I like it. I'll 5 it for ya ;D
This is nice
Nice intro. I'm liking the beat that comes in at 53 secs. The mix of synths is good. Progression is smooth, a little snazzy. Lead at around 2.20-ish is a little too soft, I think, it'll sound really awesome pushed up in the mix more. Also, I'd like to see the chorus type synths pushed up at the end, so it would finish on a grand, almost epic note. I think it ends too abruptly also, maybe finish with a long note ringing out, that'd sound pretty cool. Overall, it's a great piece, reading your comments, the impression I get is of a futuristic, kind of science fiction city landscape, it'd work great in a sci-fi movie soundtrack.
Sounds very professional. Great job. I'll help you boost the score with a 5, how's that sound? ;D
5s are nice
Yeah, this is a cool song
It sounds pretty good despite the obvious use of programmed guitars. Lead is cool, that part is the most impressive part of the song. Love the dirty punk/metal types sounds you've got going here. It'd sound awesome with live guitars and maybe some cool vox.
Nice work. I'll fifen it.
Yeah, my original intention was to wait until I got home to record with my electric guitar, but I just couldn't wait! Plus, the shitty Comp. Mic I have would DEFINITELY not record that hard pumping sound I wanted for this.
Thanks for your review!
It's a nice song
But it just needs more of that techno vibe to be awesome. It sounds a bit empty with the bass and lead and drums all rather static, need something other than cheering to fill in the gaps and turn this into a memorable techno song. I'll give you a 4 though.
Sounds pretty cool
It's pretty well played out. It's a great song, but it doesn't exactly blow me away if you know what I mean, there's something, but I just can't quite put my finger on it...
Love the synth though, it sounds real nice, I'll give you that. The orchestra is real sweet. I love this sort of mood, I guess you could say, in a piece of music. I'm kind of like you in that sense that my music has a dark sort of feel to it even if it wasn't intentional, and that change is just refreshing, it's great to go with that sometimes. I'm gonna give you 5, for the loss of sleep over the making of this, that tells me that you worked hard at it and you're proud of it, as you should be. Good job.
:D thank you! well when i first made this, i amazed myself a bit since ive always wanted to acomplish those kind of melodies but i cant really seem to get them right always.. so to me when i made it i was blinded by love..or..uh, something like that. when i went over it again after not beeing so hyped, i perfectly saw what you mean by that theres something lacking. and i hope that the update im making on it is gonna change that :D i guess my music comes from my mood so beeing gloomy for a long time kinda made me forget that what i really like is this. heh.. it just feels too cheezy listening to similar stuff when youre feeling down you know? its like i get embarased or something.. guess you need to be.. "up there" to truly enjoy happy go lucky tunes ;P thaks for the thick review! <3
