[==(Life of a Cloud)==]

thats a kickass title

I had to click on this. and damn its sick! sounds like a 90s Genesis game after you win a huge fight and everything's all chill!

The drums kicked in perfectly! and good job mastering them this time, I love the stick hits! Nice pads and lead synths, sounds like something out of a Lifetime channel movie. I like the sense of emptiness by using bass sporadically throughout the track. I think you did a great job leading up to the meat of the track towards 1:50, and there's some pretty emotional stuff in here. I think you should have kept going on with this section a bit longer...the resolution progress was a bit uninteresting, the end was kinda weak...I personally think implenting a bassline in the end would make a more dramatic finish...

Overall, another very nice ambient piece for the 1000th time SBB :D

[dum diddle duh duh duh duhhhhh]

this is totally racist

j/k. seriously this is pretty funny shit. nice FX and cool drum beat. all the voices flow and blend together, this an original beatbox style that I havent heard a lot of before. creative job here, I do wish it could loop a bit better.

McFooFa responds:

heh, thanks.

It was really fun to make. :D

[Vintage Bike]

did you do this for the lulz?

this is pretty damn catchy....could be used in a cheesy flash or game. what would be funny as hell prank would be as while some of your friends are having sex and listing to romantic music, place this one minute into the song lol.

Grillpie responds:

It's more of a tribute to the stupid lofi music in old games

that prank sounds fun, I'll should do that sometime

[The Final Curtain(Sample)]

kinda sounds like something in FF8

nice romantic sound you going on here, i would love to hear the full version. cant grade this one too fairly because it ends abruptly(and its just a sample). if you werent on planning on this already, just add some reverb to the keys to make it sound more realistic, and vary up the pace a little more. when the track gets off the ground, add some more hi-hat hits, a better EQed bass kick and a snare or clap. just some suggestions :P good luck!

SoulofDeath responds:

First off, so sorry for the late late late late response...my hard drive FRIED...ugh so this song needs to be began ALL over again, terrible huh? im even having trouble getting FL studio back, (dealing with demo of 7 right now, liked 5 producer edition better :(...) anyway thanks for the review, and sorry again

[Transparent Relativity]

not too shabby coming off a writers block...

a bit awkard, a tad slow...

some freakish melodies in here....sounds like robots getting eletrocuted in a green pond. the track gets interesting after the panned arpsynths come in to play. nice chirpy synths in here. the melody around 1:50ish is nice, and the themes used int he first track flows well to finish the rest of the song. there was no huge climax in here, but not too bad.

i dont like the drums, its a decent beat, but you need more realistic electronic samples, or EQ them a bit better. to variate your track a bit more you could some FX on the lead synth that echoes, like some reverb or a chorus effect every now and then. also, to fill the void that there is in the track, there needs more bass...that synth in ever bar, that sounds kinda brassyish, could be transcribed an octave or two and used a bassline, it will create more warmth. keep experimenting with music.

and good luck with your writers block...what i like do when I have these type of problems is listen to different styles of music, or learn/analyze other musicians work for inspiration.

SoulofDeath responds:

First off, thanks for the review, and yeah the drums i also think could've been better, bass...thats what i was forgetting...but i have a few projects that haven't been worked on in ages, so im gonna get to those first, then i might end up remixing this song

[red sand]

Ambient DnB? I like it

good job on this one man. phased pads makes for a nice intro, some cool FX on the synth once the bass comes in. the intro builds up at an appropriate speed and flows together very well throughout. so good job until 1:50, nice atmospheric relaxed sounding clips.

no real criticism here on this track-maybe you could have changed the drums on the second part of the track, add some more power to the bassline. by changing the drums you could have made them more realistic, added some reverb and get a more punchy sound...but I like what you got going on here. a louder lead synth would sound pretty swell in here too.

Good stuff!

Stan-SB responds:

i'd completely agree with u on that one but i can do much with it coz im using garage band: a really basic package thats part of i life for a mac n e way ty for the pointers

[ChillaX [loop]]

weird atmospheric feel....

this was a prertty different track, some unique ethnic sounds, but you need to work on gelling everything together.

the guitarish synth has an interesting melody, and the ethnic percussion is pretty sweet. keep the percussion going throughout man, perhaps add a different, slow beat to keep up with the track...the lead synth and piano are nice too, but in some sections of song the flow kinda sounds a bit jumbled....

some flaws in here that can be fixed, but a nice track man.

loogiesquared responds:

thank you...i was thinking of a remix....?

[FFX-2]

nice sound....

this is probably my favorite song in FFX2....but it sounds like you just imported the midi directly into FL studio(correct me if i'm wrong) and ran the piano parts threw the harpo sytrus preset :/

still it has really cool melodies and a beautiful sound, just work more on making your track more original, like mix the rhythms, add some percussion and add your own flavor to make it a more personal remix.

ReapersArms responds:

Nah I didnt input the midi. I actually figured it out all by ear and made the tune with the Styrus Piano

[Snowfall [Final Mix]]

this one's catchy...

sweet rhythmic groove in here! it sounds kinda like an irish jig...cool of you to add something like that in here, never seen it utilized in techno...interesting melody too...nice soft pads...lovely interlude around 1:25, and good buildup, now too dramastic, it slowly builds up, it sounds nice man :) drums are pretty cool, the snare and ride hit samples work well in this track...the lead melody is pretty cool layed over well. more great sounding pads in the end. definetly kept me interested throughout, and I dont like this genre of music all that much.

great job composition wise, but there is some minor clarity issues in here. when the bass does the 16ths riff in the intro, there is some fuzzing. around 1:25 there some minor clipping as well, some slight compression or lower velocity could smoothen this out. Also the lead synth is a bit screechy when it hits the highest note...

nice trance production! :P

[Aro]

Sweetness man.

love the synths in the intro...too bad it was only 10 seconds tho, with cool sounds like that you should have made it longer :)

interesting trance groove, love the higher end percussion...around 1:00 that fast arpsynth is sweet! it really adds some originality and diversity to your piece...the ambient section around 1:30 is nice and atmospheric.

overall, slick track you got going here...some sections of the song and the nice arpsynth add some depth to your track, otherwise tho, the verse sections could use some more originality to retain some interest...still catchy riffs, but I would try to spice up the rhythms next time around....if you like :)

Arcsynth responds:

Hey, thanks! I discovered that I need to write more ambience. =P
