[TheComet-Careless]

GUAHH!! srry!

I accidentally put this review for ur other song! XD gah my carelessness (lol it was about that song here's the review again very sorry)

The beginning sounds promising but the melody isn't really good and that irritating out of tune thing in the background is really starting to get to me. The revcrashes should have been a lot better the bassline is good and the little flute in the beginning sounds good also. I think a more trancy sound instead of the thing u fadein with bandpass in the beginning would have been a lot better and filled up the frequency gaps a lot better.

[-Absolute Zero-]

not that good

[Super Mario Theme]

not bad...but...

I was expecting a bit of a switch to a modern sound after the NES style part...but didn't happen...This shouldn't have been to hard to make in FL studio also because you could have easily copied the scores from a midi file (wich i did with my F-zero song myself :P) Good job on the little NES style clave sound tho.

[Bowser the Shredder || Mario64]

Sounds good

Sounds pretty cool but argh get those channel levels worked out! the arpeggio diversity is cool but that channel is turned up way too much! Overall a cool song.

[DJ-Schiz - Rave On]

sounds ok

Sounds ok for a song, the riff is just a bit too corny, not really original but overal ok. I put a 6 in your effort because this really isn't hard to make I mean I can put stuff like this together in an hour.

[The Death of Capone]

good!

Good song! It's not really my thing and thinking of al capone dying while listening to it doesn't really...fit...the song doesn't sound dark...it's very good though I mean I could never make something like this (I play drums I have no knowledge wich notes to use in this semi-classical kinda stuff :P)

[Peace of my mind]

Full of potential!

This song has potential...As far as i'm concerned use more delay-ish effects (FL reverb, FL delay) especially on that main tune. Not bad but still not that good also :P

Thank you, i made this a long time ago, but i would like to say, that i really rushed the end. Allthough i tend to spend more time with my stuff now ;) Yes, when i made this, i didn't know about the delay effects and so forth. I actually did good with what i knew though ;) Which was not much. Thank you for the reveiw.

[Cheerful harmony]

not too bad

The bass sounds bit tinny use a little effect or something over it. (tip: long sliding arp basses allways sound pretty cool) I notice you made a little brassy layer into it with time offsets (i think by the sound of it XD) that sounds nice tho you could put the fruity reeverb effect over it for a bit fuller effect. Another thing i miss is some more percussion! Anything is fine (open hihats that kind of stuff) but not toms or bongos those things take too much attention and get too much on the foreground if you know what i mean. Anyway just keep experimenting with FL there's bound for something nice to turn up ;)

Guitar-freak414 responds:

Very good tips here! I actually just started learning using the slider for my latest song "peaceful wahwah", FL is just so good. Thank you for the reveiw :)

[Into the Shadows]

heavy rave?!

Well no this is not heavy rave. The song doesn't really keep up the pase the 303 riff is also a bit too slow as far as i'm concerned, it's a pretty relaxing song actually that doesn't get on my nerves in a good way (unlike rave).

[StarWars Imperial March remix]

Yeah sounds pretty kool

The strings in the intro sound a bit tinny, tip: Use a big layer of about 6 different string presets and give them all a little unique time offset. The part after the intro sounds nice and misterious but what i'm missing is a big blasting wall of sound that should come at me. That little thing you use is really building tension but there's nothing coming. The bass sounds nice and stuff but there's no big bad sound coming to get me if you know what I mean.
