[Guppy's Quest OST 05 - Watching Clouds]

Very intense

Wow this was nice I found this piece to be very "INTENSE" that "PIANO" or board is really good you should really build it up and bring out the piano more but you seem to have done that, Not the Finest of the day but you had something very smooth, You have pushed fourth ideas and made this one interesting, So its almost time to end this review, and I dont wish to bore you any longer but just know I like my listen on this one today. And for me there is Immeasurable sounds like this, A nice track of sounds here with a mix of this and a mix of that, And those are just a few things that really drew me into this.

octopus58 responds:

Thank you very much X! That is actually a pluck in the background and not a piano but I agree I could have done a better job at bringing it out. I guess it'll all come with good practice :)

Thank you for all the kind words though and I am very glad you enjoyed, feedback always helps me out!

[Aphyllix - AntiMatter]

Wow nice

For some reason the start of it reminds me of a "ZELDA" theme but then it twists off into your own creation very nice and dark sound on this one, I wouldnt mind if half way it faded out and built back up with an intense vibe,
So I had a fun time with this track it gave me a lot of elements and some interesting things that just made the ecperience fun and thats what its all about so nice job, Alright so a nice sound a nice beat and nice track here it was unique in its own style of sounds and you bring that out and make it that unique tune that I like, but anyways I will stop babbling but I did enjoy this track.

Aphyllix responds:

Thanks! I know what you mean, though, good and bad, granted I didn't really think about the Zelda styled parts, but I see what you mean, thanks for the feedback! :)

Nice

So this was nice and has some really nice "GUITAR" atleast I think thats some guitar regardless it sounds really good and has some good quality about but my thing is that this should be longer more build ups even, besides that this was really solid work nice tune.

My dude this file was uploaded in 2003. I am now many computers removed from ever "improving" on this song lol

[Sea of Love Tears 「恋水の海」]

Really nice melody

Wow you are really talented the melody for one was pleasent and some solid flavor you push, I really love that "PIANO" too love the focus on that, I would try and ad some extra backround sounds maybe some soft ambient just as an idea, Alright so as to not bore you any longer I will end this review, but will say this was an interesting piece that caught my attention and really hope to hear more stuff like this especially if its yours so keep up the decent work and efforts, And well thats that I really enjoyed reviewing this and you really presented something very well here, I hope you keep making more stuff like this.

Tennon responds:

Yeah thats also my opinion

[Gear Head]

Nice mix

So there was a good mixture of sounds here like the piano at the start, and the "DRUMS" later thats a good build up I would love some more build up into a more intense vibe, There are some good and Fascinating things about this submission, sometimes Immeasurable but you found its Finest moment here on the portal, Love the originality of this it's a great great track! Keep up the good work you bring some nice emotion to this and make a style all your own I like the vibe this gives off and you really do put the effort into this one so nice work here on this one, keep at it.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Hey thanks much for such an in depth response. I really appreciate good feedback! I agree on the things that need improving. This is rather unorthodox and I figured some trance heads might be lukewarm on it for that. I’m guessing if I gave better build/brake and doubled the length of those sweet sections (what you called piano), it would probably be more accessible for trance fans. Some other things could be improved too.

All in all though, I’m super happy you had so many nice things to say about it as is. Back when I made this (over 10 years ago), I didn’t have the discipline to keep to a more classic trance formula and now I don't want to change it too too much since I personally like how unique and off the wall it is. Also there's the issue of time. I’d love to really tune this piece up but with so many albums to polish and post before the end of the year (over 16 and counting), it’ll have to wait awhile. All that missing build brake is loads of little things that take me time the way I work (note by note). Thanks again! :)

[Pretentious]

Love the guitar

Wow I am in love with the "GUITAR" in this piece the "VOICE" and lyrics are pretty good too I think some higher pitced points in the voice along with high end strings might be a good build up point, So that was a decent tune you had in here, Some things could be better I thought but overall I found it to be an interesting tune, and would love to hear more stuff of yours in the near future, but anyways I had a good time with this one, it was a nifty track here, Great work with this, I normally admire anyone willing to do something different, its different but thats what I have come to love about it.

dude2312 responds:

Hey, XwaynecoltX thanks for checking my song! It was something totally different than what I normally do. I appreciate your constructive criticism as well!

Feel free to message me so we can talk more about these high pitched points in the voice. I could use those in new songs!

[Forever Jazz]

Love me some jazz

I have to say this was awsome not just because I love me some "JAZZ" but you have a clear and crisp sound with some really good quality, Not sure I would change anything but I do have to say make it longer with some intense build up cause with jazz you can really push it, Finest detail I have heard in a long time, So I am looking forward to see what else you can come out with, as this was one of those pieces that sticks out at you so nice efforts here. you gave this some nice Rhythm and have composed a nice piece here. Keep up this type of quality.

Intense

So this was an "INTENSE" piece it was some what slow at first and I think adding some fade outs then building it up even more would be pretty nifty, So as I have listened to this track a few times its interesting some parts could be better, but it was a pretty good tune, it was differant in someways but most of all I did like what you presented here and ill just say keep going with that, its decent stuff, But anyways thats that and this was an interesting piece of some sounds yes different but also much more then that its one of those tunes that draws you in.

ShockblastDeluxe responds:

Thanks for your input!

First of all, I'm glad that the drop actually has the intensity of a real drop. I've had this problem in the past, and I think this is somewhere around the fifth time it's been successful.

Second, I am fully aware that it needs some improvements here and there even after revisal, and your criticism is welcome.

[Life and Death]

Very nice ideed

wow that "PIANO" is really intense and deep more focus of that would be really cool, love the intense of how well this builds up very nice, And to end this off, it was a pleasure listening this it was differant yet still pretty good, not what I would normally listen too but still something decent here. so keep up what you are doing, because you have something great going, and would love to hear more, Alright so I wont drag this on but you have a wonderfull production of a tune here I can see some small upgrades but in all honesty you have something good.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
More focus on some deeper piano like you did with the start would be my tip of the day.

~X~

Hippokopter responds:

Well to be honest, I didn't know who you were, but I took a look at your profile and HOLY MOLY! Thanks for stopping by to leave a review! xD

I've never liked using the piano all that much, just because of how generic it usually is. I figure, everybody has listened to more than enough piano elsewhere, so there's not a huge need to use it any more than you have to, right? But I guess sometimes piano would be a bit more useful.

Anyways, thanks again for leaving a review! xD

[Welcome Home]

Very nice tune here

I love the "SOFT" build up of this, im an instant fan of this one, A very unique feel I thought, the sounds are great with this one and you had really impressed me with this entry, I just love what you did here with the sounds so nice efforts there., and while this track and review are close to the end here, I will just say you have some decent efforts here, Well thats the end and I am going to say it has been a pleasure in reviewing your work and I hope to find more of your tracks soon here in the portal.

~~THINGS TO IMPROVE ON~~
make more of this style.

~X~

NoahAu responds:

Appreciate the feedback my man. I am a fan of blending more cinematic and electronic themes, so perhaps I will try to expand on this style and make it more of my thing. Thanks :)
