[Middle Eastern Film Score]

Very dramatic and engaging! :D I love the melody and instruments, as well as the suspense. It definitely feels very cinematic. You achieved your purpose well. Good job! ;D

5vedjeland responds:

Thank You!
I'm planning on uploading more film scores soon.

[Life at Night]

I like how it progresses, as well as the mood and instruments. The melody was a little simple, and could've used some more variation later in the piece. The instrument that comes in at 1:14 got a little annoying. I like the transition at 1:59 as well as the breakdown at 2:40. At 2:57, I don't even think you need that transition instrument in there. The ending could've been more interesting in my opinion. Still, I like the blissful mood of the melody as well as the spacey mood of the chords, but I think it's not one of your better tracks as it is. I think you should keep working on it, though! ;)

Everratic responds:

Thankyou for the review! When I discover new things I can do with my songs, I tend to do them too much from excitement. The melody did have variation, but the changes were so small that you most likely didn't notice. I will remember what you said for my next song, but I don't feel like going back to this one.

[ENSC - Blazed Night Sky]

Yeah! :D I love the mood and instruments. Progressive isn't really my favorite genre, I think we've established that before, but this is great for some light listening. I like the structure and transitions, especially at 4:19. That's also the point where it seemed to be going somewhere as a whole, which is good. It sounds pretty similar to some of your other tracks, however. I'd love to see some more variety in that regard in the future. I think the ending is a little cliché with the beat and crash, but overall it's a cool piece. It's been a while, though! Glad to see you're posting again, RoVeRDude58! Nice job! ;D

SynchroSpectre responds:

Ah, thanks :DD, I was trying something new and see how it turns out and yes progressive isn't my favorite genre either but it's an easy genre to master, the melody imo was a bit cheesy and yeah, I bet you noticed the structure is different than the old songs so all this put a lot pressure on my creative mind >.<

Also you're doing really great yourself too, keep it up.

[Dream of You]

It's simple, but I like it! :D I like how you are constantly building on the main chords, and it loops really well. However, I think the piano could sound a bit more...full. Each chord seems to cut off a little too early for my tastes. It might have a little more presence if you turn up the "hold" knob in the INS tab for the channel settings for whatever instrument you used for it (it won't do this in FL Keys because it's pre-adjusted). Sorry if you know all this already, and I know that this is really picky of me. Other than that, though, I really like the instruments and structure, as well as the transition with the crash. Nice job! ;D

Everratic responds:

Thankyou for the review. The piano was meant to be a background instrument, actually every instrument was intended to be that way. I wanted to make a very simple song that was pleasurable to listen to rather than focusing on complexity and trying new things.

[loss of innocence]

I love the instruments and the sound effect that sounds like rain. The emotion is fantastic. I didn't think you needed that crash at 1:04,1:26, 1:48, and wherever else it comes in. It ruins the mood a bit. However, the structure is good, and it even loops pretty well. Nice work as always! :D

johnfn responds:

Ha! I was really on the edge with that crash. On one hand it *is* the only percussion in the song... but on the other hand, without it, the transitions seem a lot more abrupt. Maybe I should have just turned it down. Thanks for dropping by :-)

[A New Day 2]

Nice! :D Another feel-good track. I like the instruments and mood and melodies as usual. The transition at :46 was good. The structure was good, it flowed smoothly. Sometimes when I listen to a bunch of your songs over a short period of time, I feel like I'm listening to the same song but with a different melody and chord progression, you know? The instruments and structure just sound so similar. It would be nice if you could shake that up a bit. Still, it's a good piece (as always). Keep at it, BlueOceans! ;)

Everratic responds:

Thankyou! I never plan my song structures, I just keep adding new parts to my songs until it reaches around 3-4 minutes. I think if I plan my song structure in the future I can make a song that sounds different. I reuse a lot of my instruments if I like them.

[Infinite Happiness]

I agree, it's not your strongest piece, but good for some easy listening. I like the instrument/melody at 1:37. It's nice and blissful as well. It clearly isn't a finished piece, but it actually loops pretty well as it is. Keep at it, BlueOceans! ;)

Everratic responds:

Thankyou for the review!

[-Some Place-]

I love the melody and instruments. It's very blissful, and the funky, unorthodox bass that comes in at :33 and :39 and some other parts really adds a lot to the piece! :D I could see this as an awesome full-length track, maybe with a little more variation on the melody. Please keep working on this! Great start! ;D

alvys18 responds:

hey thanks man! I really appreciate the comment. I will keep working on it trying to make a nice change or something :)

[Hypersleep Pod No2]

I like the distortedness around the beginning, as well as the mood and instruments, especially that ominous-sounding keyboard. The percussion added a lot to it as well. The effect that comes in at 1:09 was pretty random, and got a little annoying. If I were you, I would make it last no more than 3 or 4 seconds at a time, and add some reverb, letting it fade out creepily after each entrance. Still, it's a cool, well-structured, moody, and smooth-flowing piece that loops well. Nice work! ;)

Bloodtype8 responds:

Actually the thing that starts around 01:09 is Tibetan throat singing (well, as close as one can get with a vst). I love the sound of it, but I can understand that it does not suit everyones tastes. Regardless, thanks for your constructive and well detailed comment. Much obliged. :)

[Karmafield]

I like the mood at the beginning, as well as the instruments and sweeps and crash. It's nice and atmospheric. It doesn't progress quickly enough for my tastes, but it's great for some easy listening. The beat gave it a strange sort of energy, and I love the breakdown around 2:30. I liked the structure and transitions, and it seemed to go somewhere as a whole. Nice work! ;)

Alloud responds:

Thank you for the input, it's appreciated! I was definitely going for the atmospheric/easy listening thing; it's what I do for most of my tracks. If I ever try house again I'll probably go for faster progression and more dynamic song structure, so maybe something closer to electro house. The breakdown is actually my least favorite part, haha, but I'm glad you liked it. Thanks again.
