[The Poor Boy Blues]

Confusing

Whilst it is an interesting song, all the delay made it hard to listen to. A blues song tends to be quite clean. This was a bit to confusing. Also, not enough above 3 khz.

Other than that, it is ok

robertemerald responds:

Thank you ghjook. You're right. Too much delay on the lead (and too loud) and I over-dubbed myself too much. No idea what 3khz means, but I suspect that you refer to the volume? Yes I could fix that in Audacity, but I would only think it important if you need to play loud or a noise issue. The method I used with this song I used on Me And My Baby Blues, and Won't Bother You Blues, and neither got better scores , so thanks I guess.

[Grandpa Art]

Wonderful!

First off, sorry to hear that. I don't know how long ago it was, but I feel for you.

Your song is very well written. The chords you use are very nice, and your playing is good. I think this would work very well arranged with a small orchestra (4 woodwind, 6 string, 3 brass). I would actually like to have a go at that, If you are interested, PM me. You manage to get a lot of varitation in there which I quite like. It is very emotional, but the key of F is a bit like that.

Overall, a great song.

[Count On Us]

Finally!

You get top marks for using accoustic instruments!!!! I am a bit sick and tired of purely electronic music on NG......

[Digital Recreation]

Mmmmmmm..........

Interesting, Definately needs some more variation on sounds, and the 1564 riff at the beginning is a bit annoying (if you think I am raving, check out this - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3A2QP d138U). Other Than that, a nice song.

ajfromcanada responds:

Thanks. No, I definitely agree with you on that I-V-VI-IV riff. I've been experimenting with ways to change it up so it isn't so "blah". Thanks for the feedback though! :D

[Garden Party]

Drat!

Ha Ha, wish I could have done something like this! Oh Well....

[Colab sounds of a messy nature]

aaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Nice song overall. It is really nicely laid out, I really like the arp-ish style synth that you use. There is some wierd harmony clash at 0:17, maybe check that. The piano is just beutiful! The chords are really nice, sort of reminds me of some jazz stuff I like to play.

Great Job! :D

Nothins responds:

are you shure its :17?
i look at it to see what it is but i cant tell -listened to it way to much-
yah but thanks for the good reveiw ^^

[Jazzebass]

Nice.....

Nice track. I like how you have managed to get a slap bass sound out of a think (Assuming here...). Nice laid back track. and bubble4me, let me guess, you have never heard any real jazz, have you! Google Miles Davis, and be amazed!

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks. :)

[Rock attempt]

MIX IT!!!!!

ummmmm, ok! Interesting, but please learn how to mix! A good attempt, but maybe don't clutter it up to much another time.
