[A Dream Not Far From Home]

Decent piano

~~REVIEW~~
I like the piano work on this one and how you get to the playing right off the bat, and its a fast paced feel with some gaps in there that change up the tune, nice touch with that, i think you do need more {VARIATY} in there though, like when you slowdown on the piano, maybe add some new and differant sounds in there to mix it up somewhat, just a tip that could make it better, but for the most part this was a great piece, and i look forward to hearing more of your tracks, anyways great stuff.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
some variaty could be mixed in with the piano.

~X~

PHantomHP responds:

Thank you for noticing the gaps! This is the first piece where I could actually decently pull that off. I think that your right that I do kind of overwork the piano and it needs some help. If I extend this (which I hope to do some day) I will be sure to experiment more. Thank you for reviewing!

[Running For Glory]

Decent guitar playing

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm this is actually some nice guitar atleast i think its a guitar but i seem to be hearing some distortion? mainly at the start of it, now dont get me wrong, its pretty good and does seem to get better as in goes along, and is some pretty good playing if i say so myself, was not too long and not too short either so i was alright with this and overall thought it was ok, to make it better i suppose try and clean up the distortion at the start, i didnt hear it much as it moves along.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
I heard some slight distortion at the start might want to clean it up abit.

~X~

ManicG responds:

First of all thanks :) and yes it is a Guitar...

I know the quality's not great but this was recorded back in 80 something. I cleaned it up as best as I could. I mainly played around with the EQ + Left and right Channels. I'm sure someone with more experience could do a better job remastering the audio.

[Lost In Hope]

Decent could be better

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm ok this one is abit wild and you seem to jump right into it, not a bad thing it was kinda neat actually,i think you should slow it down abit might give you room to add some differant {SOUNDS} in there, but for the mostpart it was pretty good, somewhat distorted with the loudness of it all but again nothing to go crazy over, i still thought it was ok, so you can improve on this with some suggestions slowing it down adding some new sounds and what not, anyways keep up the decent tunes, i look forward to more soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Slow down the fastness just a tad and add an assortment of new sounds

~X~

FromWithinReach responds:

thanks for the tips man! glad you liked it

[Echo Mountain]

Decent tune

~~REVIEW~~
Hey now this was notbad at all, has a good sound there was some {CLARITY} issues some slight {DISTORTION} that could be better, so some quality work is needed there, but for the rest its pretty pleasent and straight forward, its a more soft and mellow feel, you should think about adding some drums and even uniqer sounding instraments maybe slightly in the backround, other then that it was ok, so some new sounds and some distortion effects are needed. untill then good luck on what you have going on.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some distortion was heard, could be cleaned up abit.

~X~

auroalee1 responds:

Thanks so much!! Yeah. I think a drum beat would work really well in there. I didn't really hear the distortion, but I will check the gain again.

[Folsom Prison Dub (Cover)]

Nice work

~~REVIEW~~
hmmmthis was interesting now the {VOICE} was pretty good i thought, but seemed too low, and still kinda hard to hear but you can still hear it, the backround music is a more {LIGHTER} version of things, of the original so that was kinda cute, the song was right on with the words and all, so you could feel the same passion there, just wish the voice part was not so low in quality but really other then that it was pretty good, i like it to be honest and think its pretty good nice song choice

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
had some issues with the voice but nothing crazy to change anything so i like it as is.

~X~

ErgoEngan responds:

Awesome review. Other users should learn from this. This is exactly how I want my reviews.

Thanks!

[Realistic Magic]

Needs more UMP

~~REVIEW~~
This was not bad, i kinda liked it infact, id did sound abit on the {BLAND} side though, it was more of a straight forward feel though, and it basicly stayed that way it did have somewhatt of a build up but not much, i believe you need to {FOCUS} more on the build up and a louder feel of it aswell so that its not so bland or dull in some cases, dont get me wrong its good stuff just needs abit more for over the edge, anyways i enjoyed it and hope to see improvments sometime soon, anyways good luck.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
the blandness could be worked on with more focus on build-up and a more louder deeper feel.

~X~

Dagkiden13 responds:

Thank you

[[Dj Assios] - Party Hard]

Nice and fast

~~REVIEW~~
This was pretty fast wich was ok with me i liked it and fit well with the title and such, flowed fast maybe too fast at times, maybe you should think about {SLOW} it down just a tad, then you can really mix it up sometimes the fastness of it distorts the tune, but still i understand you wanted a party them like feel so nice job indeed, so for improving, like i said slow it down in some parts and add some variaty. anyways good job sofar.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
slow it down in some parts and add some differant instraments of variaty

~X~

Assios responds:

Thanks! :)

[_Paradox_]

Fantastic

~~REVIEW~~
This was notbad, i like the sound, it has a rough sound to it but is interesting also like the gaps then you change it up into something else and something differant it all does seem to work well together especially with the changes and such, very rough sounding but notbad, also like the {CHIMES} i heard, very nice indeed, but other then that it was pretty good, as to improve i wouldnt touch too much keep going with what you have, wich is good quality, anyways nice job.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
leave it as is.

~X~

Birdinator99 responds:

Thanks a lot dude; glad you liked it!

[Jungle Run]

I like it

~~REVIEW~~
Hmm another subtle beat but this time it does have a somewhat faster beat wich was ok with me, its still abit on the soft side but i did notice some variaty in the middle or in the end, so it was notbad, i liked it, has a very catchy feel to it with the sounds you do have, so nice job on this one, to improve on this one? im not sure i would touch itbut maybe like the last one from the {ROYAL MARCH} give it a suprise here and there, anyways once again nice tune here i look forward to hearing and reviewing more soon.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Abit of change here and there with some more of the interesting and uniquer sounds would be a nice change here and there and not too much as to take away from your ideas here,

~X~

Step responds:

Thanks for reviewing! As usual, this was made ages ago, and at the time I just had access to some new sounds. They weren't too special but I was excited to try them out and came up with this :P.

Glad you enjoyed it!

[The Royal March]

Subtle but decent

~~REVIEW~~
hmm this was another interesting one of yours it kind of sounded like some, {HORNS} at the start of it couldnt tell my computer was being choppy, but as it played through it had a nice subtle feel to it, it was not crazy loud or anything like that and that was ok with me, so i really enjoyed that aspect of it and all, so nice job and all, besides that it was pretty good, a nice subtle tune, keep up the good work, as for improving, i would think about throwing in some {SPIKES} here and there and what i mean by that is every once in awhile maybe a louder or thump ump here in there just to give it a more unexpected beat comming in.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
Some extra thump here and there wouldnt hurt, other then that it was pretty impressive

~X~

Step responds:

Actually to be honest I think of this as one of my worst submissions, lol. It's pretty boring throughout and I agree that it could've had some parts where it stood out, maybe with some more powerful hits/thumps as you said.

Thanks for the feedback.
