[Mystery Melody WIP]

I like the mood and beat and climax. The instruments and structure were solid. The melody is definitely engaging, but the variations at :15 aren't really my style...but that's just me. Anyway, I think you should keep working on it. It has potential- it just needs somewhere to go. Right now it's basically a variation of the same melody. Hope this review helped! :)

it helps! :)
thx for your feedback, 6th door.

[Up and Down]

I love the bass-y feel and the climactic nature of it. The instruments, especially the drums, added a lot to the drama of the piece. You constantly vary it and it has this engrossing sort of energy to it. The only part I didn't like was the ending. It needs to stand out more in my opinion. Other than that, great job! Hope this review was helpful! ;)

Vee responds:

Thank you very much! it was helpful! the ending was attempted to fix... i didn't know what you meant that much but i tried!

[Wonderland - preview]

Yeah! So upbeat and energetic! A little repetitive, and the effect at :46 and 1:16 seemed a little random, but this is well-structured. I liked the part at 1:17, too, btw, and you really should make the full version available here. I listened to the whole thing on youtube, and I'm impressed! The emotion is amazing, and I'm thirsty for more! :D Never stop making music, man! ^^ You deserve all of your 322 fans and more! ;)

GrantBowtie responds:

Thanks man! Appreciate the support

[Lukes Theme]

Yeah! :D It's so relaxed, and the instruments were well-used. I especially love the one you used for the chords. You really played with my emotions! I love a piece that can do that! The sound effect at 2:52, however, didn't really work for me. I appreciate the emotional contrast, but the transition from chill to creepy was a little too sudden for me. I also thought the part at 2:54 got a little repetitive. 3:36 was a highlight of the song for me. The end of the song didn't have the same beatific vibe that the beginning had. It kind of threw me off that the bass carried this club-ish energy, but the chords (if that's what you'd call them) were still really chill. I think you should choose one feeling or the other for the end, but I still appreciate the attempt at going somewhere with the song. I also liked the very end of the piece. It seemed fitting. Overall, good job. Hope this review was helpful. ;)

[Build]

It's okay...I liked the ominous beginning, especially with the drums, but it was a little slow in general. The strings were hiding under the beat for most of the song- it could've been much more dramatic, as I see that's what you were going for. Also, there could have been a lot more dynamic contrast before/after 1:08. It's not a bad start. I just think it could be more emotional. I encourage you to keep working on it. ;)

skipspace responds:

I agree with everything you said. It definitely could have been better, but as it was just for testing purposes, I didn't exactly make it to the best of my abilities. If I ever do choose to do a finished version (Which I probably will at some point), I'll take into account everything you mentioned. Thanks!

[N-3-M0R3]

It's so upbeat and cute! I love it! ^^ The melody is really happy and engaging. The whole thing is really catchy. The transition at 2:02 was a little sudden for me, however. I also think you use a lot of the same instruments in many of your songs. Maybe going forward you could try exploring other genres. Still, love your work, Blackjack213. It brightens my day! :D

[Buttery Epic Popcorn]

Really interesting...I like the instruments and melodies. You incorporated the speech well, however in general I don't usually like spoken words used in excess in a song...but that's just me. I'm not sure how the speech relates to the "buttery epic popcorn" theme, but after :22 the song was pretty catchy and well-structured. Loops well too. Good job! ^^

mistarogerz responds:

The speech from Robert Frost just felt right at the time. However, in retrospect "What the Hell was I thinking when naming this thing Buttery Epic Popcorn?"

[we're gonna die DEMAKE]

I love the cute instruments! The beat and the breakdown at :40 were really catchy. Nice job with the irony- dying young is so cute and happy! Really good remix. I'm looking forward to hearing some more of your original tracks. :D
