[Starboom]

This is really fantastic and beautiful. This would be amazing in a film score. Did you record the singing or is it a sample? It's really nice. Great job!

Slug-Salt responds:

This is a sample, it's a singing library for Kontakt, in fact most of the samples were from Kontakt, it's a gem of a plug in!

[Pavane for a Dead Princess]

Ravel! Yay!!

I love Ravel and I love this piece! However, I thought the sounds were kinda meh and not very alive. It made it sound like what Ravel would call a "Dead Pavane for a Princess" rather than a Pavane for a Dead Princess. But it works for the most part. Good job!

sinequanon responds:

thanks, not sure what kind of magic you expect from these samples though. the strings especially are generally weak when exposed. nice ravel quote.

[That First Snow!]

Nice work.

This is a nice work and I think you're a good singer, but it sounds like you have trouble with some notes. Although, I don't think this would be easy to sing. I like the tenor solo. I would love to hear an instrumental version of this. The drums get kinda repetitive with the constant cymbals, which seem to have little or no dynamic variation, which makes the drums sound less realistic. Maybe trying turning the drums down or putting in longer fills that give a break from them. Other than that, good job!

Adam-Beilgard responds:

Yeah, it gets pitchy, especially around longer notes. I don't consider myself a singer, but the contest's original rules said had to have vocals! The tenor solo was my favorite part and the drums were my least favorite and it kinda shows. Things to consider for my next track.

Thanks for the review!

[Shadow of Fate [collab]]

EPIC.

Nice collab. This is pretty cool, but I think the parts a little after 1:00 could use more rhythmic variation or just something else. Also, a lot of the parts could use more emotion/expression. And I think the ending could use a little more.
Good job! The beginning is my favorite part, I'd say.

samulis responds:

Glad you like it. We might go back and work on it some more perhaps, but I'm not sure.

[Bumped Space]

Cool stuff.

I really like the beginning part. I think it's a cool sound, but it goes on way too long (the ENTIRE song!). At least change the chords in some parts and you should probably add a counterpart with it. I like the part that comes in around the one minute mark. Have more stuff like that! And make the main parts build up more.
Good job though.

H4llucin8 responds:

Well, that's House for you lol... I'm working on a few others that'll probably fit your interest!

[Strappy Hings]

15.5

THIS IS THE GREATEST THING EVER. well...
I like the sound of this...but it's 18 seconds long... and the last 2.5 seconds are silence.
I think you have a good idea...now do something with it!
...or don't, if this is just a joke.

Solisio responds:

Lol... Thank you. I really appreciate that. I have this problem... I have like 300 songs on my computer... a lot are incomplete, but this one got reception almost immediately, so this is high on my list. Thank you :).
P.S. I have no idea why it doesn't loop properly.

[Undead Riot]

niccceee

I don't usually listen to dubstep, but i really like this. I like the drop and the "wobble" part doesn't sound like every other dubstep song, which seems to usually be the case.
However, I think you need to change the name to (Dubstep) as "dub" is a different genre.

deendeon1000 responds:

well thank you:) and i changed it:3 thanks for letting me know
