[Recycled Rubber]

ewwww... GROSS!!!

Always nice to shut down our brain for 1 and a half minute!!

JaShinYa responds:

If we've made you brain dead.... then mission accomplished!

[Staying Here(Loopje)]

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I don't understand!!! 0.o 96?!?!?!

But there is still some noticable details that can give hints (but it's still better in quality than majority of things posted here :P)

Cahzmana responds:

yeah, there's 1 hint.
Reverb, its hard to master and make it sound good at 96kbps.
but other then that...

[I don't know :L]

It's your lucky day!!!

At 0:54, there is a complete silence. NEVER EVER IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE IN THE WORLD SHOULD YOU DO THAT!!! (for a long periode of time)

I will not add this song to my mp3 player for the sole reason that it is not loud enough. Your master sound peak should be at 0 all the way.

Other than that, great job!

Blackmajiick responds:

Holy dickmonkeys, another one!

Actually, i still have FL studio open. Let me just go and fix those problems really quick :D

Edit: Problems solved :D

[DubDustrial]

YAY!! But I'm not adding you to my MP3 yet :P

The first kick is weird... did you accidentally(or volountary?) doubbled the note?? Because it is breaking the beat

Starting at 0:24, the second snare is a little bit rushed, see my PM for the beat I saw there.

Intro is definitively catchy (at least until the beat comes in)!

Be carefull with the delay, at some points it is off beat (annoying... a little bit!)

Other than that, definitively better than the last ones

BowserThedestructive responds:

OH That's what you meant in the PM!, Oh I see, yes the kick is actually 2 kick's seperated by EQ one for the high part and mid range the other for pure low kick bass tones. Yeah I didn't notice the delay causing it to be off beat my stuff tends to be out of wack sometimes by just the way I find it sounding good sometimes.
I shall try even harder on the next beat.. ^.^ Thanks haha..But yeah there is 2 "intial" kicks then a standard drum kit for the "hats" and another kick mainly crunched and satured and pushed hard for that "sound" but because one has a built in humanizer "I use EZdrummer" but I also have other drum things. Like Stormdrum. And the intial samples making up the partial beat has a "sway" swing to it from fl studio I added just a touch to add something humanize into it. I think the two combination of this caused a slight "un even match up the intial beat sections" but I liked it so much I didn't even notice.

[MR! - Lithosphere]

Great! Reminds me of Jack Thammarat!

But mixing could be WAY better.

Might be a good idea to add a reverb on the lead guitar.

Drums are a little weak, in particular in the intro.

You might want to better EQ the bass and 2nd guitar, at some places there are distorting.

MothrasRevenge responds:

Thanks for the listen!
I'm still learning how to properly mix and balance the lead and rhythms.

[Volatile song]

Intresting for sure! Well executed, orchestral part is flawless!

Quality piece for sure!

The snare was a little bit out of place, would rather loved a plain dry sound. Not sure if that snare was the best choice.

1:34 part was a little buggy, should be fixed.

Overall great song!!

Kreos responds:

Thanks! I'm a bit short of sounds for percussion... but I'll see what different choice I can make (I hope).
The 1:34 I did on purpose, it changes compass from 4/4 to 3/4, it looks like you didn't like it quite a lot, but well, that was actually gonna happen ^-^ (just did the change for fun). I'm glad you liked it (:

[Hounds of Tindalos]

A smile appeared on my face at 0:18 :P

Little timing error at 0:04, it's deadly when you're playing solo.

The solo was somewhat... soft compared at the rest of the song. I would have expected something to compensate the guitar gone soloing (mabe harder drums???)

Other than that, pretty well executed!

Schleif responds:

thanks! yeah, i kind of rushed the whole solo part to be honest. on the other hand, i was kind of going for mor of a soft contrast to the rest of the song, but i definitely see what you mean. thanks a lot for the kind words!

[Overcast Thoughts]

My overall impression on this was that the song was not fluent. It was well executed at some places, yet at other times, you just broke the rithm without transition anyhow and got to another part. You need to folow a "logical" pattern, just like when writing a text.

0:37 was... um, you get it, right?? Not the good notes!

111122223138 responds:

I knew this was rough, but I've got to work on smoothing out songs. This was, in some ways, a demo.
Thanks for the review though!

[Industrial Carnage]

Kind of... unique????

I would really suggest you to pick a chord, and stick to it. You'll see your song quality skyrocket!!

Nice drumz, as always!

BowserThedestructive responds:

Thanks yeah I am still learning chords which is why this song really just was "of the moment" feeling. I felt like taking a snap at some crunch drums haha. But for me I still have to learn some musical stuff so I am further now but still not there just yet. I am beginning to learn chords and melodies better though. Anyhow thanks for the review ;). Glad it wasn't just me who enjoyed what I did with the drums hehe.

[Winter Breeze]

Cool!

Mabe your delay/echo effect on the piano is too long, it is starting to override on the next note.

BowserThedestructive responds:

Its suppose to do that it is the intended effect of it. Also the delay/effects are on my master channel so everything is delayed in sync. I used a plugin called "timeless 2" by fabfilter its very sweet delay plugin.
Thanks for the review ;]
