[Town Festival]

Nice job! Good sounds!

You've got some great sounds coming out here! It really reminds me of something like from old FF games lol. I think from here you should really focus on bring out your actual sounds to make them sound more professional and better. You can never do enough tweaking.

Great melodic work here, but what you should focus on is mastering and mixing your song to sound just like you want it.

Great job though!

[Chaotic Decisions]

OH! Cool stuff!

Chaotic is right my friend! The melody at first tripped me out but as the song went on it really did follow that feeling of being really chaotic! I think you could try some more stuff though to bring out an even better sound though.

Also, even when it's all chaotic it's still possible to throw in some dramatic pad at like the end or as a closer to bring the song to a big dramatic close. Since it's so percussive it's always a cool idea at the end to throw in a really heavy melodic part to wow people with your skill.

A good example is deadmau5's remix of an old FL studios song, it's mostly just an awesome beat up until the end where it suddenly kicks into this awesome cool pad and just sounds plain awesome before ending. Look it up.

Great job though, loving the sounds here!

[Breaking Twilight]

Pretty much the same thing I said before

I don't know how old this one is though lol. But criticism even on old stuff can help.

I think I see the same problem here though, you really should try to work hard on getting your really good sounds to give a bigger, better, fuller sound and get what's so cool in your head into my earballs.

Also once that open hat came in I just have to say YOU NEED TO TRY TO LAYER SOUNDS TOGETHER. That one hat on it's own isn't serving the purpose, I get what you're trying to do but it's ALWAYS a good idea to try to layer sounds with percussion so that you get an even more unique and fuller sound.

Great job though, just needs some details lol!

[Pleasantly Surprised /SN/]

Awesome sound, details my friend!

This really sounds great! I think what you need to work on though is little things like mixing mastering, and trying to get the sound you really want out of your song through effects and EQs compressors and all that. You have awesome melodic work here though and you should definetely keep it up! Just as an example like I can tell you were going for a really heavy bass, but if you use some tricks like sidechaining and some FX you could really make that thing crazy.

Great job though, keep it up!

[Bad Blood]

Broheim...

You are awesome, I decided to listen to this too after I looked at your newest song. Great work here dude! You are doing a great job on the heavy metal front here. Just keep making good music man, I can't really complain about this one lol.

I was hoping to give some criticism but oh well :P

BERSERKYD responds:

Yeaaaa ! You such a nice guy. Thanks Bud. |m/,

[The Dark Templar Symphony]

Excellent! Super talent!

Dude I think this sounds great! You got some great guitar skills and there's some awesome sounds going on here! Your drums sound pretty sweet too!

The only thing here I could complain about is that you should try to mix a little more, I noticed some ducking going on with the volumes on the drums when the 2nd guitar came in. But really it sounds excellent, keep making great music!

Also the voices are a great touch.

BERSERKYD responds:

Great thanks for the great feed back ! Not perfect but I think its my best mixe so far in 4 years. Don'T worry I'll keep rocking man. Cheer :D

[Saving The Sunset]

Great melodies and work here!

I like how you've treated your melodies here and your love of the actual mood and feelings from it (all assumed from your ator coments though lol). This is a good song, the thing I'm most concerned about is that your actual instruments probably could sound better with mixing and such or maybe even searching for some better soundfonts (I have no idea what you're using). But I think you can make the actual instrumentation sound better somehow if you tried really hard, the melodies themselves though are excellent.

Also don't be afraid to throw in some infrequent drums hits to add a nice effect to things, you don't ever have to be satisfied with the bare bones song you can try whatever you want and throw things in wherever.

Veneox responds:

I am using Mixcraft 5.2 and am using the best I can afford.

[Project 22]

This is pretty sweet!

I like this alot! It's got a cool style, if you try to learn some more and twerk some things up you could get this from sweet to incredible in no time. You got some cool beats and sounds here, I think the next step for you is really trying to mix it better (personally I think the low frequencies are a little heavy kind of blocking out the mids and highs). I personally have learned alot from Youtube and Fruity Loop's amazing coolstuff files that I can pick through and see how they did what they did.

You got talent though, I think you should really try to push it now and go for something even better.

Rinileki14 responds:

I'm glad you like it. I'm kind of still getting the hang of mixing and mastering. Thanks for reviewing!

[Sly Taco]

You got skill, now really try to use it

This ain't that bad. You made a halfway descent beat and changed it up plenty. But I don't really hear any mixing or any bravery to jump out and fill out the beat all the way. I mean the way it's going right now it's more like a background loop (a good one though), but listen to the top songs of the week or whatever and you'll see they try to change the general song up to make it more interesting. You got the cool beat but now you need to kick in something heavier and have some more instruments go all out. Just look at other peoples stuff and see how they did it and try what you like.

I like what you got going here though, it sounds like you could really be excellent if you worked harder. Good luck dude.

kooness responds:

yeah i agree. thanks for the advice

[Acid Paradox - Progressive]

Just awesome

Your skill at making music is stunning. I love the sounds you make and how well you progress (ha). Your sound is incredibly unique here and very well mixed and mastered. I really like the pads and the arpy synth during the majority of the song. And the beginning was pretty sweet too, I've actually never heard anyone do that yet lol XD
