[-Pleasure Island- |[Glou]|]

Song

when you could walk down dark alleys and wild monkeys would scratch you back for nickel.

The melody behind this song is really unique and spaced out. I enjoyed a hell fo a lot.

Nice work! Its epic trance, except with congo drums XD

10/10, 5/5

And in 1872, Lance Armstrong went to the moon and ended the cold war.

My knowledge on this style of music isn't quite my forte. Overall I think this song is awesome and definitely well-done. I think this would fit perfectly as background music for a plethora of games.

A couple of points I would suggest tweaking:

Mainly, I feel that the instrument introduced at 0:11 (sounds bell-like) that carries on through the remainder of the song ought to have some sort of variation - whether it is tweaking the pitch or having the hits change every so often. My reason is because it is rather repetitive, and I think takes away from the replay value of the song.

Following the percussion fill (at 2:24) I think you should highlight the percussion a little more by increasing their volumes and have it as if someone was essentially playing a solo. This is the climax of your song, so I think it might improve it with some additional energy.

If I were you, I would play around with the concept of introducing additional instruments, whether it is another of the main melody harmonizing with it, or simply some background chords from whatever. I think this would add sort of an interesting orchestral sound to it. It might sound better - might not.

Great job on this song. I look forward to hearing your future submissions.

DMKE responds:

Exactly the type of review I need! I took note of these suggestions and will work it out.

Thanks for the 10!

<3 you too :D.

This is great for your first attempt at FruityLoops. I'm quite impresed. If I were you, I'd cut the intro up to 0:43, because its a little drawn out and becomes slightly irritating. Just as you addressed in your comments, you ought to cut the ending by quite a bit, that too drags on. The meat of the song is yummy tho.

GiJoe92 responds:

thanks for the input. i agree with you about both the intro and the ending. especially the ending!

-Haze and Waste-

I'm not sure what I'm supposed to look for when listening to an ambient song other than ambiance. It sounds really well-done, so I suppose that equals 10 and a 5. I still haven't played Twilight Princess.

Gloudas responds:

you should. It's awesome. And this isn't true ambiance, mostly because of the drums, but I think it fits more in this category than anything else

[-ganon95- Braveheart]

Braveheart

This is a great melody. I think the introduction is quite cool. I agree that it is a little repetitive. You should increase the volume on the instrument introduced at 0:38 and work that into being the main melody (it's too cool to leave in the background). Other than that I don't have much to critique. Great job.

ganon95 responds:

the only problem is if i were to turn it up too much everything would overlay and create a bunch of static

[Over Load]

Over Load

Damn, this is one solid first song. I think the melody is pretty cool. The percussion is quite repetitive. Although you added an additional bass drum (at around 40 seconds), i still think that you need to throw some fills in there. Other than that I think its pretty good, and I look forward to hearing some of your upcoming tunes.

InuFF responds:

Well, thank you very much! I make a lot music, but few of them are good enough to put here.
