[Shima: Collision!]

THIS IS SICK!

One of the coolest songs I've heard in days! I love the guitar! The main part gets repetitive after 2:28, but WHO CARES! It is so awesome! Keep it up!
5/5 + 8/10 + Favorited.

[135]

This is nice!

Very, very nice! I voted 5/5, but rated 7/10 because 1:18 to 2:38 is way to slow and not enough of a change to keep my interest... Keep it up!

[Hyper Rage]

Hell yeah, man!

It's so damn fast! 5/5 + 9/10 + Favorited.

dragontjah responds:

Thank you very much :)

[Sheer Tunage]

Very refreshing, funky, and jazzy!

What a trip! The drums were great! 1:54 to 2:26 is probably my favorite part. Since this is just basically solos and variations of the same thing, it starts to get a little repetitive... But I appreciate your experimenting - it sounds like you are really mastering Mixcraft! Keep making music! This definitely shows promise!

SulfuricDonut responds:

Thanks man! There's definitively still so much more to Mixcraft than I've stuffed in this, and I plan on doing a bunch more new stuff.
And yeah... I noticed it got repetitive and so that's why I added the many-layered synth part with the epic drums, and after something like that there was really no option but to just end the song right there :P

[Memories (ZaDoo)]

I really love the sustained ambiance you have here

The song starts off with a traditional electronic bass line, but quickly picks up. This is a nice chunk of song for only 3 hours! My only real complaint is that it ends too soon, before it really develops into anything. You have some sustain, you have some ambiance, but it never really builds up into anything different... What you have is pretty good though, it would definitely fit well in an animation. It reminds me of pure curiosity and eagerness. Keep it up!

ZaDoo responds:

Well, the thing is I have a lot of incomplete songs with a good beat. I can't seem to make anything out of them because I don't know how to develop them.

I should work on that.

[Unnatural deception]

I like the whammy type effect you have on the lead

Nice style here! It reminds me of my friends guitar playing. The only problem I have noticed with your music is that you use the same type of harsh synth guitar sound in your songs. I know you were writing it for guitar so you probably want to keep that type of sound, but it really doesn't sound as good as it could currently. You might want to check into either some more realistic guitar sounds, or take a different approach with some more realistic sounds like a synth or orchestra that you can find. Besides the issues with the instruments actual sound, the composition was great! The drum programming was very fitting to the track (although, again if I were to critique the actual sound, you might want to check into better sounding drum kits, too). All in all, it's a very cool song. 5/5 (to try and raise your score a little, I would have probably given this a 4) + 8/10. Keep it up!

well...if i ever get the money i plan on buyin a midi output so i can record real guitar on here instead of this fake synthesized bullshit lol

[Ziggity Skag Symphony]

A medium range of classical music styles...

This is composed very well. Personally, it has a pretty slow start. I definitely lost interest within the first minute. I think something that might help to keep the listeners interest is to use a better choir sound. There is the Papelmedia choir soundfont, which is what I use and it's free (you can google it or PM me if you want it). All in all, I think the song sounds professional - it's just not my taste at all.

PS. You should expand upon 3:50 to 4:05, that was my favorite part - and the keyboards were nice throughout the song!

[Mastadon]

I like how you used sound clips like an instrument

Keep working on this! It sounds sweet, but it is way too short! I cant musically appreciate this very much because it is basically an intro. If you planned on leaving it this way, it would probably work well for an intro to an animation or something though... Nice work!

Tarteviant responds:

this actually isn't the version I meant to upload.. I have the full mp3 I will update later..

Thanks!!

[Triceratops]

Spaced out trip to the grocery store music!

No vocals, but a weird triceratops vocal clip! Haha. That's all I have to say. Interesting style. The beat by itself is awesome, which is why I rated 5/5 + 8/10. Keep it up!

Tarteviant responds:

yea absolutely very spacy and nerdy with the thump of a jurassic dinosaur in the background.. thank you :)
