SilentTakedown responds:

It's not tinny! D:
But I'm glad you like it though!

- Intero

[Twilight-Dreaming (Remix)]

nice for a midi sound

this has a catchy feel and sound. It has a very 'fake' feel though in that it sounds like a song from a gameboy game or something. don't take it as a bad thing, i mean if thats what you were going for then great!! otherwise, the timing's VERY rigid, so if you were to hand play sometimes or somehow get rid of that constant 'metronome' feel then i think this would be alot nicer. otheriwise i enjoyes listening to it ans was happy to review it!

have a good day =D

JakesFable responds:

Well this was made from similar sounds from MIDI but this was made in FL Studio, But thanks alot for you comment ;)

[Mad World - Rock]

baha, i INSPIRED someone!!! :D:D:D

wow bro!! this is nice

funny, i saw mad world came in second this week, only a week after mine was in the weekly top, funny how this song sticks around. it is an incredible song though.

LOVE the instrumental work, guitar and drums, i'd like to know how you recorded them, VST instruments, or miced up equipment?

singings very nice, reminds me of the original tears for fears singer. the 'mad world' bit are a fair bit higher for your range, or at leasty with this style of song, a little out of tune, but otherwise the verses suit nicely.

great work, and thanks for mentioning me, was a real buzz to listen to!

[I Feel So Alone]

this is really amazing

i love composing classical orchestral peices, but this is astounding.
wqas it done using a keyboards/stage piano?
or could have been rocorded... with an orchestra? wow, the fact that i cant tell should be a great compliment!!

Setu-Firestorm responds:

It's all MIDI based using VSTi's. The specific VSTi I used for this piece was Edirol Orchestral.

I step recorded all the parts for the entire piece (same way you graph out the note pitches and lengths on the Piano Roll in FL Studio) even though it's more time consuming that just playing it out on my keyboard, but I step record all my pieces because it makes them cleaner and perfectly on tempo.

Thanks for the review.

[Armymenis12-Fight to the Death]

very nice :)

incredible mood and pace. This is something you can TELL is one of those 'lot's of work' submissions. Tell me (if you get the time) did you record your own percussion? what keyboard did you use? what key is it in?

its pretty kewl that you can make 4 descending chords so eerie and epic. Crisp sound quality and very nice use of layered instruments, in that theyre not all playing the same thing to lead to a crescendo.

Gratz on a fun peice of work and good luck on many more-
-JAZZA

Armymenis12 responds:

Hey, thanks for the review! I didn't record my percussion, and I was not using a keyboard for the sounds. Oh, and I believe it is in C-Minor.

[MindSight]

very nice

strange how a song can be soothing and relaxing, but exiting at the same time!! its got great sound and clarity to it, good default sound level and all of the layers come together very nicely.

in 1:25 seconds in the syncopated rythem if a great break, then the piano and strings after that just makes it shine.

congratulations on a great song!

Stealth-Emergence responds:
