[IYD - ImYours final version]

good

liked this, everything seemed to blend well and loved the melo, although one of the hits of those drums seems a little sharp and loud imo.

InYourDreams responds:

thnx 4 the review! well...its a matter of taste. They are no real drums anyway :P

[Welcome to W0RLD]

liek itsh

like this one, reminds me of a yoshi;s island song when the main melo kicks in, nice low-fi kicks and efx, not overpowering, bass is nice and oldschool, however I don't like the off-tuney parts that happen, just something about them that doesn't seem right, I don't really like the first few transitions, cold-turkey and all, I like the ones later though.

PuffballsUnited responds:

Hmm... Not sure which off-tuney parts you're talking about. And yeah, the first transition is really harsh, but that's one of my favorite parts of the song. Thanks for the constructive review!

[JD - Cat With A Jetpack]

its k

It's alright, for VG I expected these basic synths, the panning twinkle though, doesn't really seem to fit in with the song, you really tried to mix VG with reg. and it didnt go so well, the kick scheme doesn't really work with me.

JD14 responds:

I know what you mean; and yeah, I agree. Maybe I'll change up the twinkle :o
Thanks :D

[Cream Filled Like Twinkie]

twitnkwe blah

It's alright, the synth sounds pretty basic, at first I expected it to explode into something much more complicated, but it never happened. the panning of clap > synth < is really annoying, the setup is pretty lame imo, the bass is about all I can say is good about it, even though its not very well, the usage of FL Slayer was probably a better part of the song honestly.

all in all, i would avoid panning things all over the place for now.

[\\A_WestCoast_Rap_Beat//]

murrr

the melo synth could have probably used a bit more glide time, piano could use some work, bass is a bit murky, the idea of gunshots isn't executed very well imo.

BaSeBaLl151 responds:

Lol I know the gunshots aren't done well...I just added them at the last second for effect. Thanks for the review.

[Trance and Dance]

p good

This seems pretty simple, pretty fast, the bass you bring in after awhile is a little too aggressive, bringing in the melo after that reminded me a Envy's old NG songs, I think you should change up the synths that follow the main synth from what they started from, adding in some fade/effects could really bring this track up, the drums are pretty simple and fit the song for now.

[Umbrella Corporation]

hmmm

I understand that this is supposed to be a dark song, but it doesn't really fit the bill imo, something about it doesn't seem right enough, and using that toxid biohazard ( yes I know ), the drums could be heavily changed and would probably make a alot of difference in this song aswell.

t-bone88 responds:

Well, this is my first song with fl 8, after my other comp crashed and its months since I last made a song.

Thnx for the review though, I'll work on my drum skills

[Sleuth]

aight

sounds really muddy to me, the gliding synth you put in here seems a bit to slow so it sounds out of tune near the beginning, this song doesn't really give a sleuthy sound other than the main melo/synth, but it works.

Snakessgoss responds:

Hmm, what part is the gliding synth?

[[SP] ~ Beautiful Universe]

like it

although the kick kind of comes in a bit early for my taste, it isnt bad and fits in nicely, the clicks remind me of a infected mushroom song, the travel-ling like synth that comes in a bit latter sound marvelous, the break, somehow the synth manages to dance around it a bit, i'm not sure what your idea was of that transition, a bit wierd imo, from here on it sounds alright the chi-chi's sound a bit too loud, and a reminder of repetive-ness comes in while you use that same synthy build up again.
The shit that starts at 2:40 is pretty badass, I love how it transforms around, a melo pattern used around here sounds a bit like basshunter, the low-end wnvelope added a real nice touch, sounded smooth, although when you pretty much excessively apply it, and then again it sounds a little out-of-place, ( and then the expected chi-chi synth routune finishes the song :P )

Blizzaine responds:

I think by "chi-chi" you mean sidechain but I'm really not sure

thanks for the review!
