[[HOWLBANE] Overdrive 1.0.]

Nice bubble pop! Or was that a drip? Anyway, cool beat, but it's way too short!!!!! ARGHH! Add some more beats to this!

Howlbane responds:

I'm still working on it. I'm gonna make an extended version ^^

[Blind Elephants Dali]

Pretty cool. Take these suggestions if you want. I wish somewhere in the first minute there was 4 bass drum hits in a row! I think that 1:28 should start out with a drum part similar to 1:42 rather than build up to one (pr at least keep the palm-muting on guitar the whole section). 1:57 is pretty sweet. I like the guitar part on the left, although for 2:25 I think you should hold out a higher note (like maybe an octave higher). 2:39 was a nice change. 3:11 came in weird with the pause and i don't think it really fits. The last part brings the piece full circle again. Pretty good song, man. Rated 4 for effort.

BiviZ responds:

Oh. So much useful information. Okay. That 4 bass drums should be sound like tr-t-tr-t-tr-t-tr-t, right? The moment with 1:28 in original version start out with similiar drums, but there are so many unexpected turns so then i decided to just leave as is. About 2:25 im totally agree and 3:11 too. The problem with this riff that I have not formulated his idea.
Thanks for feedback, bro. It is very important to me ^_^

[Nuclear PingPong]

Pretty weird. Yeah... I don't really like whatever pulsing, fat sound is entering my ears right now. The change at 0:54 was cool. 1:37 is pretty awesome, too. I feel like this song could have been a lot better if you used more instrument voices. It sounds like you used a fat bass, some type of organ, and then some type of sawtooth or something. Those are all generally kind of annoying sounds. Maybe add some effects to something like an echo or phaser. Pretty decent song over-all.

[San Fransisco]

Definitely not my normal choice of music, but it's pretty awesome for what it is. Great song, man!

[harmonious FENRISÚLFR]

I don't get 1:07. Do you mix in weird, happy, awkward sounds in every song? Around 2 minutes is sweet. My favorite song so far. Keep it up.

[storming LEVIATHAN]

Weird mix! The part around 1:36 was awesome. After 2:12 I got exhausted of this sound... Too repetitive.

[Late Night Sprawl]

I voted 3 because 2:46 is a step in the right direction. The rest of the song seemed robotic. Nothing was really moving about the composition. 3:13 was way too over the top and killed the cool vibe you had going... 3:40 just pushed the song further down the hole. Try coming up with some different chords and progressions. Decent track. Keep practicing and put as much time as you can into composition!

What I have always gone by was to change the melody if not once, twice. I changed the melody from eighth notes to chords. I didnt want to change the melody too much, because if you ask me, the melody is just purely addictive.

[[CK] What!?]

Very cool stuff, but sounds like something I've heard before -- you know? Like maybe on the RADio sometime. You should try adding something to set it apart from other house music. Like maybe some ambient field recordings, or people talking, or animals screaming. I think something like that would be a nice touch.

[Daydream (V1)]

I agree with La-Yinn, but I may also add that maybe after the break down at 1:22, you actually make some type of interlude that is not the exact same arp that has been playing the whole time! :P Just my suggestion, what you have sounds pretty sweet, but instrumental music should be more than 2 chords.
