[~M~ Merry Chipmas!]

Very Enjoyable

While I usually don't care for this genre, I liked this very much. This was very fun to listen to, a vote 5 to you.

[DJ Splash - TIML (Rmx)]

Here is some Criticism.

Your intro seemed to be a bit too long. I do like your choice of sounds but the melody isn't right. There aren't any 32nd notes (which the melody has) if you want me to send you a .flp with the melody I'd he happy to. Other than the intro, I like your progression.

Should you choose to redo this, I would recommend shortening your intro a bit, fix up the melody a bit, (maybe use the melody you have here as build up, then hit hard with the melody (should you want me to send it to you) that I can give you.)

DJ-Frosted responds:

a remix should be different from the original... it wouldnt really be a remix if it sounded the same.. as for 32nd notes... they sounded really bad in the first place no offense to Splash... just sounded like there was too much going on in the melody for the tempo etc

[´Kriz: Forever]

Dear God Sir!

I found this song on youtube as part of a tf2 vocal song. I saw that there was a link to the original song. I now find myself here thinking, wow, newgrounds needs a better way to list top music. The way it works now is it just lists it by rating... but that doesn't work because that just makes the top full of new songs that only have one rating of 5. This song is a 4.40, it's going to be at least 5 pages back in the techno section... this deserves to be on page 1. if it werent for ShadowthePast's on youtube, I would have never found this song. Newgrounds really needs to improve it's top music list, to incorporate age, views, votes, downloads and then rating. Seriously, this song is amazing... I find no fault with it. I hope that one day I may be able to top this song, that day is a long time away.

Kr1z responds:

Hey man, I agree that the AudioPortal could do with some improvements!
It's basically why I haven't posted songs for the past year..

Thanks SO much for the awesome review!!

[~ Comprehension ~ [CAT]]

Cat to the rescue...

I love it, This piece is perfect for my Bio Project... It's got a real nice grove to it.

Catstuffer responds:

Haha! you'll get an A+ for sure :P

Thanks for reviewing!

[~ Highland Trance ~ [CAT]]

Reminds me alot of Russia Privjet

I love the melody, but I wish you had a bit more build up melody wise. The high notes are amazing but need to be used more as a finally. Not for the whole song, just to a section. Because it gets used as much as it does, it makes people become jaded to it and it becomes out of place. Other than that, its awesome.

Catstuffer responds:

Yea, I know what you mean, but I couldn't come up with any "filler" and just decided to aly down the meat and potatoes so to speak.

Thanks for reviewing! :D

[-[PK]- High Volume]

Wide eyed...

I got home today, and came to newgrounds to listen to some music. I was going to go listen to some F-777, but then, I say you PMed me with the news that you finished the song. I think to myself, "oh cool ill check it out then head over to F-777." But after listening to this... F-777 is good... but this is A-freakin'-mazing. Yes, i am saying i would rather listen to this than F-777. you my friend, are amazing and put me to shame. Just a few questions, do you record your own audio (IE the "this is to be played at high volume") and what synth do you use (sytrus, nexus, 3x Osc, wasp) and how long have you been making music?

~DJ Majaro

pyrotek45 responds:

WoW.that means so freaking much!!yes i do record my own audio,i use alot of nexus mainly, every now and then i use some pre installed sounds. alot of filters here and there.and i started making music on 03/31/2010.but thank you so much. :D
ive never taken any music classes or anything and i don't know how to make my own sounds :( because i teach myself everything.all i can say is to make something good,first you really must want to then practice.

[Oh, Sandra [AMP and Aisarene]]

The critical Review

Since the difference between the original remix (paradox) is your addition to the vocals, this review will be void of anything other than your vocals.
Pros
- like the rest of your music, the fact that there's a vocal track at all is amazing.
- You don't over auto-tune like most people do.
- It Fells like you and Basshunter recorded together. It is seemless.

Cons
- At some points in the song, your voice is distorted, i would reccomend lowering the volume of the melody a hair.
.... that's really all i can think of... amazing job!

When i listen to this i get this image of you as sandra and and Hilden as Basshunter, it makes the song that much more powerful.

~DJ Majaro

AisareneMusic responds:

Thanks :D
I always love your reviews, they're so thorough. And ha, I wish I recorded with Basshunter, I'd be so honored. Though, I really can say I detest Lauren Dyson's voice, so maybe if Basshunter picked me to sing with, I'm not that good after all! ;)

[Now you're gone remix (demo)]

COME ON! at least try.

your synth is waaaaaay too loud, there's too much distortion. Your melody seems a bit slurred. to help with the song, i would try to find the vocals to go along. I would go on with more advice, but you don't really seem to by trying, so ill just stop with this.

~DJ Majaro

Newgroundings responds:

okay, first, im 14. Yeah, and i dont know fl studio much, i dont use the mixer, the advanced stuff, all i use is piano roll and the volume thing. 2. i WAS trying, its hard finding the notes yourself using letters on your keyboard. i know my synth is too loud, i cant fix the distortion, and i only put this out on newgrounds so i can download it onto my ps3

[Spudmuffinman - Tetris Remix]

Very nice

You got my 5, but not my 10. I wish there were parts where you picked up the song just a hair more. I also think the 2 second pause at :58 is too long, you should shorten it to about a half second pause, or maby a second long pause if you had a reverse cymbal or a drum-roll.

spudmuffinman responds:

Thanks for the review. Yeah, I guess you're right about 0:58. I enjoy getting advise so I can improve my music, to become a better composer. Thanks again. :)

[Tetris'ed demo]

eh....

You really NEED to add percussion, without it, this song is very dull. While i see you rely on synth alone to carry the song, it just doesn't work very well, you did pretty good without it, but it could be SO much better with it. At 1 min, the song did pick up in a cool way, but again, without percussion, it wasn't as good as it could have been.

~DJ Majaro

soopergamerdude responds:

Thanks for the feedback, i am working on the percussion and the intro off-beat screw up, And i didn't intend to leave it as is. I know that is sucks w/out percussion, But again, i'm working on it. and thanks again for the feedback.
