What is the off chance i run into one of your songs because i was randomly looking around the portal. Remember me?
Well i liked the synths in this a lot. Gave me the feeling of an organ or something with really big strings being played. I liked the beat too even if it was simple.
Hey MarioMusicMaker, i want you personally to check out my songs. No body else can! lol

Nice start! Distorted bass! i like it a lot!. Nice filtered high pitched bass. Good beat there, I like the amount of drums and the use of synths at about 50 seconds is real nice with the stopping and starting. Nice come back for the synths, i think they are winning against the beat tho. no wait, now they are getting a beat down from the drums. and in some way shape or form it sounds like everything is working together to make this awesome Drum N Bass song.
Good job with the whole aspect of the song!
I liked the synths and how they played around with the bass and kept my ears sharp. I'm giving 1 point for the synth and 2 points for the bass. the distortion of the bass was great too, that is another ponint for the distortion. The beat punched my ears in just the right amount so i can listen to it loop while i write a review. i'll give another 4 points for the beat and drums of the whole thing. And guess what? I downloaded it aswell! that is another point! this loops perfectly by the way.

Nice starting, and then nice big drum hit. Those synths in the beginning sound like an unenthusiastic ghost. Oh but the change in pitch and then explosion of drums compliments it! good job! Nice beat and bass synth! now i see where you are going with the first synths. Nice out of control feel! I enjoy listening to this one! I think you could have done more to the ending than just fade out through.
Awesome slow-starting fast Drum N Bass song!
I really liked listening to this and i downloaded it, so there is 1 point right off the bat. The synths all complimented each other very nicely with teh high pitched synth coming every now and then and changing keys when teh low pitched synth came in. Almost sounded a bit like torture. 4 points for those synths and bass. The beat was very unique and yet still followed the drum N bass style. I'll give 3 points for making all that happen at the right time. The vocals were nice and made me afraid of the dark. I'll give you 2 points for invocate-ing fear. I really didnt like the fade at the end so ill have to take 1 point off there.
Nice song! It's close to sounding professional even!

I faded out the end because this is a preview, so if that's your only problem with it, I can send you the full version if you want.
otherwise, thanks a lot!

Wow, great guitar distortion, Nice filtering going on. really cool bass and then bass synth to go with the guitar and beat. It loops pretty nice too.
Mean sounding Industrial
The guitars were nicely played and filtered, ill give you 3 points for that. The bass synth in the middle of the song gave a nice sound to it. I'll give you another 2 points for that. and then another 1 point for the beat. It loops very nicely, ill give you 1 point for that. the Feeling of moving in and out of this song's filters is amazing. Ill give you another 1 point for that.
Cool loop! You earned a total score of 8 from me! good job again!

Thanks for the breakdown of the song! :D
To be honest, I dislike the acid-like bass. I don't like the way it fits with the guitar, but it's good to see things like that from other people.
The main reason I uploaded this was for the distortion-y guitar, and because it looped well.
Thanks for the review!

"hey, Cameron Herren (LiquidEcstacy)!!"
Interesting start with the slightly creepy guitars sounds, i like the scratch coming in there, the symbols crash new parts in and out of this song, which sounds real nice and throw me off when one crashes but nothing plays. keeps me listening. I think you spent a little to long fading the end there.
Nice haunted feeling to this song!
I like the instruments you use and how they compliment each other. I'll give you 2 points for that. The scratch of the records were nice and the symbols helped too. Ill give you 3 points for both. The build of this song was very much enjoyed with the adding on and then taking away and then replacing of different sounds. I will give you 3 more points for that. The ending was too long of a fade and i think you tried to cop out with it. i have to take back 1 point for it. This song sounded great! you are going places with it!
Author's Response:
Only reason the ending was so simple was because this song was made in a battle between me and a few friends, to who could make the best song in under 5 minutes =)
i really had fun with it though, so thats why I posted it. thanks for the review.

Cool riff to start, cool key switch. electric guitar fits in nicely, but im contemplating if it is jazz now =p. Nice beats, and the little bell sounding thing at the end it a nice touch, what do you call that?
That is all i wrote in 1 minute, sorry im not too fast.
BREAK DOWN:
I liked the funk jazz feel of this song, now that i think of it, it is more funk than jazz. I like the bass in the background, it is real smooth. 2 poitns for that. The guitar makes me thing of some sort of boogie, your right about that. it is nicely put, 2 points for melody there. i like the beat and small quiet amount of drums you use and that bellish thing all the way through. 3 points for percussion
You got a nice song here! keep it up!

Slow start, liking it though. Piano, that is a nice touch. Everything seems to go together, but it is just taking to long to build. ahh! here is the beat. it is a little generic. Now the ghostly sounds from the beginning are gone, im at 1:46. Nice synth at 1:50, but it is a little generic itself. Now the song is getting a bit repetitivie. The bass is starting to hurt my ears a bit, but my volume might just be too loud. Now it is only piano and it is getting filtered a lot. that doesn't seem necessary. And were back with the same beat, but a new synth. sounds like laughter at 3:48, which sounds nice. this song is just a little to repetitive.
Long song, but it sounds cool.
well here is the break Down:
You got talent, you just need to work on organizing it and not trying to over play it. There is a good song with this idea here, it is just stretched out to 4:37 when it could be a lot better somewhere around 2 minutes. Listen to professional music a bit more, take note of how they use teh same mechanics you have just in ways to compliment each other. 1 point for sounds, 2 points for bass, 1 point for instruments well used, 2 points for beat. and 3 points for synths. but this is deathly repetitive, i have to take off 4 points for that.
Good effort, just needs more structuring. you can do it!
Author's Response:
Now THAT'S constructive criticism! I really appreciate that! Very nice suggestions and criticism. I will admit that this is really repetitive. I got lazy with the drum sound being the same and also the sounds from the beginning being played over and over. This is definitely not my best work. I have this strange idea that my songs need to be long... I don't know why. I did think that this was a cool drum sound. I spent a while on it and that's why I got lazy with it. I brought back the reece because I like it and I just learned how to make one but I think next time I'll leave it out. I thought the piano sound was cool, but, again, I used it waaaay too much. I'll take your advice on listening to pro stuff and gettin a feel for it. I'm still trying to make that perfect drum n bass drum sequence... I really appreciate you believing in me and encouraging me. That's what keeps me goin :)
Anyway, I'm probably getting repeditive in this response! lol

Cool powerful synth at the beginning! made my ears vibrate! I like the the beat that hits along with the synth in this song. Cool beat. I like the way it got all choppy at the end, nice touch.
Quick loop, now onto make a song! right?
Well it was short, not much to say. Nice synth manipulation. thats 2 points, cool beat and bass overall thats another 2 points. the choppiness at the end made me nearly smile. that's another 2 points. Overall you got a 6, it wasn't to long but what there was of it was good. Make a longer song so i can make a longer review!

You'd rather I make a song out of this loop?

Hey garyevor! first song of your's I've heard, but here is my review!
this piano beginning is nice and slow, great sound to it. Is that an acoustic guitar? it goes nicely with the piano. the strings come in slowly and also go nice with the rest. I like how you made every instrument come in like that. the build of this song is really nice. im at 1:46 now. The strings are getting louder and for a good reason! they sound amazing man! now it is getting a little repetitive, now it is slowing down. I'm at 3:36 and it is getting bigger with those strings. That guitar is starting to get louder too. now at 4:00 it is faster! and that makes the song prettier. now it is slow again and simplistic with soft music playing. nice quiet ending, i feel like im putting a baby to sleep now.
Shhhh, don't wake Robby.
This was a nice piece, beautifully composed. The instruments you used and how you made them blend together gets you 3 points. The lack of beat and bass seemed like a good thing in this piece. So you get 1 point for leaving that out. the melody blended nicely into itself and i will have this in my head for a long while. 3 points for that. teh tempo and volume level of this song seemed to change at the greatest times. you get another 3 points for making it sound so pretty. I'm sorry about this last point but i have to take off 1 point because even though it was so pretty, it did get repetitive. -1 there.
Overall a great song! you got a 9!!! you deserve some praise for this song!! relaxing piece i enjoyed writing a review for
