This could totally be in a keygen >:D
I think the sound is a little too "in your face" in some areas, maybe you should re-equalize it, just to give it a warmer, more comfortable sound :) I feel my ears would be hurt just a tad if I turned this up really loud... I wanna be able to do that! >;d
Everything else is amazing tho.
oh, and I'd really love it if you would tell me which synths you used for this :) I've always loved this kind of music, but haven't been able to find synths that generate this exact sound.

Great piano and synths :)
The kick could use a little thump and the looping is a bit out of sync.
I'm still gonna rate you 5 though ;D

Changed the kick up a bit. ^.^ Thanks for the review and score!

9/10
5/5
First off, awesome..
The whole feel of the song reminds me of Pendulum, the intro especially, but I felt it was all suspense and no real reward :(
Author's Response:
Aw, man, that's quite a compliment :)
Sorry the drop wasn't heavy enough for ya, I tried my best to make sure that as soon as the beat came in it immediately went from that build up to a huge tune.
But it's all good :) Thank you for your vote and your review!

I only have 2 problems with this piece: bad drums(like, really bad ones) and an overall lack of bass. Perhaps the composition lacks a bit of coherence, but then again, a tricky piece can be the best at times.
Other than that, this was just amazing. The melody at 21 seconds is great, why did it have to stop so soon? :(
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review.
Did you mean the quality of the drums, or the actual beat.
if the quality, I'm still trying to find some good samples.
(those are the FL default drums)

I'm on my laptop so I can't hear any bass, but really, I don't care that the bass may be fucked, this deserves 5 out of 5 and a 10/10 just from what I CAN hear.
Good job, man. = )
Author's Response:
Haha thanks! My school played this at our prom, and you can bet there's bass, though it's not like that crazy stuff from raves or anything like that.

You should really learn to master better, because this is clipping like mad. I think it would sound pretty neat if it didn't clip so much and was better equalized... so work on that for future projects :)
4/5
Author's Response:
Yeah I know. That happens for almost all songs with my program. Thanks for the advice, anyway.

It sounds like the kind of music used in older computer games, I love that. Is that why you chose mono? I think you should have gone with stereo... it just sounds better, and perhaps you should have boosted the high frequencies a bit, but that's just me.
Those are the only 2 things that bothers me with this track, the melodies are all top notch, so 5/5 and 10/10 :)

It's was pleasant to listen to, nice melodies and rhythm. I would have liked to see some more layers though. Some strings instead or with the pad would do wonders, I'm sure. The snare also sound a bit thin to me, but everything else is pretty much right on. :)
8/10
4/5
Author's Response:
I was afraid that too many layers would've made the song too "heavy" (taking away that calm&pleasant feel to it) but I'll give your advices a try anyway.
Thanks!

Cool melody, nicely done. I think you could master it a bit better, turning up a bit on the low frequencies. Also, it's got somewhat of a "midi ish" feel to it - you could try adding some slight reverb on the piano.
...man, I'm turning this into a techno piece... I don't even know anything about this kind of music so... don't listen to me :p
Unhelpful review, I know, but keep up the good work nonetheless ;)
Author's Response:
I agree about the low frequencies... It needs some subsonic underlying stuff to give it a bit more of a growl... and I think I just need to play with my settings in general, see what I can do to get rid of the MIDIish feel - you're right on that, too. But I had to laugh when you said it needed more reverb - There's a massive amount of reverb at the beggining there... but I don't think I spent enough time mastering the piece as a whole - I'm still working on this one, so that's on the list.
If you want to play with it, let me know when you're done! I'm interested to see what this would sound like as techno... I can try to get you the notes for it if you need them.
Thx for the review!

Sorry man, that wasn't all that great XD
It was fun though! How it's calm, and then all the sudden, hell breaks loose.
I couldn't give you a high rating for this, it would just be wrong, but hey, I don't think you were expecting high ratings? Sorry if you were, but this just won't get em D:
