[Missing Order]

Woo Hoo!

Is awesomeness...

QUICK RESPONSE

[Soulero - Sunflare]

Okay

While I quite like some of the sounds you have going, it is not very original. The chord sequence should change a bit more, and it gets really repetitive. Otherwise, good song.
3/5
6/10

Soulero responds:

Thanks for an honest review.

[Instrumental Piece 1]

Interesting

Interesting Peice. Few minor points.

The Conga sound is out of tune with the song, this threw me off a bit, you might want to fiddle with the tuning.

It got a bit busy at times, it was nice, but maybe the strings should have been more chords.

The piano bit near the end however is good, especially when the strings come in there, the only thing was the guitar is a bit computery.

Good Job

Gravey responds:

I will keep all this in mind. Constructive criticism is always welcome. :-)

[(Synth)Hollows]

Great

Really nice song again, it sounds like you were improv? what kbd were you using, or was it a soft synth?

CheckMark responds:

the sound is called tines 61 played on my alesis synthesiser

[Celestial Storm SL]

Cool.

Great song, nice synth bells at the start, and the drums were not what I expected, so it was a nice twist. The only thing that stops me giving it 10/10 is that it is the dreaded 1564 sequence!

SeanLawrence responds:

Thank you very much :)

[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.

[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
