[A Traveler's Journey Pt. 3]

What I like to hear

This is what I like to hear in a song like this. Uniqueness. This isn't just a bunch of arpeggios and such. It has a unique sound. I can honeestly say, I would probably be able to recognize one of your songs if it was lined up with other 8-bit songs. I love it when the drums kick in too. It makes it like a techno song. Overall, a good job on the drums, though I think you need to mess around with drum patterns, while bass beats on 1 2 3 4, and snare on 2 4 is cool, it needs to be varied. It seems like that's your fall back drum beat. Though this is coming from a drummer so I guess maybe I care more about it then others would.

OpenLight responds:

Ha no I just decided to make it more of a techno beat than a rock beat, though I love rock beats personally.

Also, this song has one of my favorite solos out of any of my songs ever. Quick Descent 3 has probably my favorite solos.

[A Traveler's Journey Pt. 2]

Beautifully Done

I think you did exactly what you wanted too. I have no real complaint, since, luckily, these sounds don't bother me with their pitch..y...ness. Anyway, it's sweet, I can see this one fitting in a game also.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks Prex! This is my least favorite part, but I like all of the parts, so that's more like saying it's near the top of my list of my favorite personal submissions but below the other parts of this song.

Having not listened to all of your stuff

Like someone >_> lol, I like it, it's 8-bitty. And I like 8-bitty. Sounds cool. I really have no complaint about it. You really have shown what kind of stuff can be done with 8-bit music. Though I'd have to say, you sound very similar to other 8-bit stuff I've heard. A lot of arpeggios. So just vary it up a little bit. Overall, I like it though.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks! Normally I put my solos in my songs a lot earlier than the one in this. Had I done it earlier, it would have sounded a bit better. Instead it isn't until about 2:15.

Thanks for the review!

[It's All Okay]

not bad

I liked it. I just needs work. I liked your singing and didn't at the same time. Seemed too forced. Reminded me of Vermillion Part 2 by Slipknot.

JuggaloJay845 responds:

Yea I wasn't too proud of this one.The lyrics were thrown together in less than 10 minutes and we didn't really spend time recording it.It was kind of like a one take deal.I'm not supposed to be singing that high lol.I should have more stuff up within a few months depending on how much recording time is going to cost.But it won't be acoustic, it will have a harder sound.Thank you for the feedback though

[<3Texting Isn't Close Enough..]

:,)

It's sweet. I like it a lot. I want it longer, or loopable, which my only complaint.

5/5 9/10

pichuscute0 responds:

I need to make it loopable and re-upload real fast. XD Longer would be nice, but I can't sample any more of the guitar unfortunately. Oh well. It's not mine, by the way, taken from the song This One's For You by Jamestown Story.

[Rzl 2]

Uhm

Needs some work. The sounds are really boring and not really fitting. Overall I felt bored. Sorry man. Add a lot more variety. Not sure how to put it other then I didn't really like it. Keep trying though. You have the basics of a possible song, just needs some work.

2/5 4/10

Runcover responds:

Thanks for the feedback! It helped!

O.O

<3 = the best way I can describe how I feel about this song.

Loved the melody and all the sounds. Just the ending is a little sudden, but as you said, work in progress, still awesome none the less.

5/5 10/10

JohnLeprechaun responds:

Yeah, this is quite a rough version. With any luck, it will be crisper, cleaner, longer, and generally better when I'm done with it. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed it nonetheless!

[The Falling Song [WiP]]

I await the full version

Need I say anything more? I can't wait, I'm DLing it as soon it is out

ioneofmany responds:

Score!

[Jingle Bells R3M1X]

It made my ears twitch

That means that it hurt them. The reason is a lack of sound balancing. The drums are far to loud over the rest of the instruments in my opinion. I mean, I like the song in some ways. Also, a more complex melody sound would be cool, a little softer and more bell like. Though it sounds good once the bass kicks in, so that's upto you. I love the bass. Then with snare and crash and other cymbals they are really really sharp and make my ears cry. I'd like to finish this with, this is my opinion. I use FL studios, so if you have any questions about how to balance it better feel free to ask, I always read artist's comments back.

12spike22 responds:

Honestly I threw this Togeather in about 30 min so I didn't expect much from it but it was a celebratory thing. I'll prob update it in a few days and make it longer. And with the balencing I didn't try any whatsoever. Just was all "Iike the drums so I'm gonna make them a little louder"
And also ... Aparently the bass is my best instrument cause ur the second one to appricate the bass line alot on one of my songs. So maybe I shoulda spent a oil less on that and a lil more on the melody line. Erm. I'll think about this after a good nights sleep. Lol. But thanks for the feedback. It's apricated.

[TL - Carol of the Bells]

Time Signitures

Great cover, it sounds great. I love carol of bells so maybe my opinion is skewed but this song is amazing.

5/5 10/10
