[Exploring a Digital World]

Review

The beginning seemed very emotional and interesting (2)
The bass at around 1:15 help the transition (2)
Great array of sounds and melodies (3)
Good switch around 2:40 (1)
At 3:35 the solo was great and interesting that is good for a long song so it has hardly and repeating garbage (3)

The bass kick could have had a little more power by changing the rhythm and adding accents (-1/2)
At the end it felt as if it should have had more. Maybe like the beginning. A transition to another slow instrument would be nice (-1)

9 1/2 out of 10 5 out of 5

A quick comment about the comment below this one. It is stupid to rate about potential because everyone can make the best song in the word but that doesnt mean what they just made is good. Now onto the review.

Good:
Very clever and original bass/drums
I liked the rhythm and how it sort of changed and gave you a feeling it was going faster and slower

Improvements:
The bass was weak
Extend it if it made as a song and have a final ending, if not make it shorter and more like a loop
The mixing was weird and even all the way across. It needed to have the chords in the background, that seemed to be the melody, stick out and be alot louder.

Good:
Variations of sounds and rhythms.
Good mix of 8bit and modern sounds
Nice accents and pauses

Improvements:
Very weak bass
Maybe change the melody or background and use that to introduce a different set of sounds

thanks, i love constructive comments like these, and i will soon fix the improvements :).

Good job. I like your music because you put time into it and dont just throw a couple of loops around.
1. The transition at 1:30 was not good.
2. The 8bit sound was good except the bass drum should have been louder as you progressed.
3. The transitions to guitar was good and then back to 8bit. Maybe you could try more of a solo approach on the guitar.
4. Tone it down with switches, maybe 8bit and guitar would work. Adding too many areas of melody could take away from the feeling.

[A Little Jazz]

Review

I would like to tell you that I love jazz and I hope you make more and improve into a perfect jazz master :)

Good: The drums added texture and accents. The piano was not bad and was good for improve.

Bad: You should have had more power with that piano. Just find the rhythm and play stronger. It felt that the piano was more of a background instrument than a soloist. Also switch up the drums and bass a little. The bass could perhaps do a bass fill then a small solo and come back with a new rhythm.

thank you for the review. I have jazz training on saxophone but im new to jazz piano. When i made this i really just wanted to throw up a quick background and improvise but i will think of the things you mentioned when i make another.

Review

Good: I like the bass and drums.

Bad: It was a HUGE loop and hardly changed. The sounds mixed ok but the notes you used on the melody instrument didnt sound correctly done. It seems like you just rushed this song.

Review

Good: I think the cords worked good together. The drums were a nice mix and matched the beat.

Bad: The length. I think it should have been longer for a song and if it were to be a loop maybe shorter. The warp sound that happens every 4 beats is too loud in my opinion and should be taken out completely.

[The Spanish Amada]

Review

A solo would have made that effect fit in. If only you would have done that lol. I like the effect you used on the guitar at the 1:10 mark. It was interesting and gave it a unique feel. I keep feeling hype with that effect though and i get disappointed when nothing exciting is there. DAM YOU!!!

[Sunrise On the HillsideSongMix]

Review

If you added some small percussion it would really add effect and still keep it calm. The ending was not good though. The high note threw off the point of the song. Good work though. Maybe you could add a bass guitar instead a double bass symphony sound. It would make it clear and let you relax and not listen to the warp sound of too many low strings.

PivotedFlash responds:

I found percussion a little hard to incorporate, as it seemed to take away from the strings. I only used strings, no actual bass was used. Bass guitar sounded a little weird, but I'm going to continue to work on it, I uploaded this version for feedback.

Review

Very nice. I like this one. You did good with the bass. Is this for the video game you and your friend are making or is it flash? Anyways here we go again with good and bad...

GOOD...
1. I love the funk.
2. I love the synth and bass.
3. The bass is much better than the other songs. This is how you should do it.
4. At around the 2:00 mark you introduced a new instrument and then kept flowing and it sounded good.
5. The beginning was great. You intoduced the instruments nice and kept the layers going smooth.
BAD...
1. The song felt like it was a mixture of two different songs. Thats not good because certain things just ruin the feeling/mood you set in the beginning.
2. The synth at 3:50 should have been louder. The warp one.
3. At the ending it just kept going with the same old...not good.
