[D17 - Mortal Kombat RMX]

Energetic

A good mix, full of energy.
Sound quality higher than NG average, so, congrats for that.

The samples from the game are maybe under uncertain copyright, better be careful.

Echo responds:

As far as i know, samples dont have any copyright on them.

Tks for the review.

[_/Feeling\_ (vocals)]

Congratz

1 - Congrats on making a vocal track. Many people are a bit shy to sing on NG and there are TONS of instrumental tracks but never enough vocal ones.
2 - Nice backing track, quite well mixed.
What I would fix:
- I would put a low cut on the voice (you can safely cut out everything below 125Hz or even more).
- Layer down some backing voices and play with panning.
- If you pitch correct do it smooth so nobody can tell or do it extreme (T-Pain effect lol)

ShootingStar responds:

Yeah haha I'll have to definitely look into backing voices :P That might take me awhile. Thanks so much!!

[The Love of Marion]

Instant Classic

I predict that will became a legend on NG, soon.
Soon this will get as a standard for musicians here :)) Everybody who will try orchestral with voice will have face a comparison with your track...
Congrats to you and Hania.
Instant classic and instant favorite ;)

Bosa responds:

Maybe it will be. We'll have to see!

[[LY] Afternoon Blazing [D]]

groovy

Groovy and smooth.
Still, lack of a real instrument soloing over and as construction is strange how in the middle (where should be the peak) the energy goes sort of...off.

la-yinn responds:

The jazzman himself, I'm honoured, hehe. ;)

The middle is the place where I want a nice saxophone melody kicking in. I have yet to find a nice saxophone vst, so I've left that spot empty for now. I do see where you are coming from.

Appreciate the review!

[Lonely City Night (Walking)]

Simple

That's right, simple and effective.
That could create great atmosphere in a Flash movie or game.

Arouth responds:

Thank you. One of my favorite too.

[Sea of Tuscany]

Awesome

Awesome, as usual.
Great to see that "Tuscany" became a series. Don't stop here, make more of those.
5/5, 10/10

As a suggestion from me, don't fade out the ending, make it loop, after all, to me seems like the same tonality.

No1r responds:

Thank you for your kind words and suggestion Sorohan :)
I'm happy i can keep in touch with experienced and great musicians like you.

[Roll-N]

nice one

Simple = Win
Simple harmony over a catchy groove.
The bass line reminds me of squarepusher (and that's a compliment). A nice touch to the track is Rhodes.
10/10, 5/5 fav'ed

Bitqrusher responds:

Thanks a lot for your positive comments.
It's nice to be reviewed by a more experienced member of the community,
Glad you liked it.

[Love Rocket]

too bad that...

Good performance, good guitar sound too bad that the recording/ mixing is not at the level of the music :(
There is clipping, BAD clipping, there is lack of stereo field in voices and the solo guitar smash everything else down... other way, could have been one of my favorites.

Urbanus responds:

Thanks for the review! I'll get to work on the revision ASAP. Oh and let me know if you would want to take a look at it.

[Agnus Dei - Mass in Bm]

nice

Quite good performance, a bit plucky sound but other way, quite good recording too.
It's not a Decca Classic recording but good enough to make a great soundtrack to any Flash movie of game.

Urbanus responds:

Thanks bro! And you are right about the plucky sound...I just couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.

[Remember the Killings Finished]

nice

All the good things are obvious.
The voice remind also to me of Metallica, the choice of effects is good too.
Composition is good, all the parts blend together very well.
As for mixing, voice should stand out a bit more, I would push it at least 3 db more.
As I see vocal music, voice is the most important element.

Also from guitars I would eq off some of the low frequencies so the bass line stand out more.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. I agree with you on all points. However, I personally didn't like the vocals much louder. But the guitars, I have been hemming and hawing over...so this helps a great deal. :D Thanks my dude. (Plus my bass playing was a bit shitty, so I kinda buried it in the mix) :D
