[Into The Jungle [DnB]]

pretty cool.

This is nice. It's amazing that you've only been using FL studio for a month now. I remember when I was a month into using FLstudio I was still turning out crap. But you've actually got a good grasp on it and you seem to know what you're doing. That's really impressive.

How did you do this beat? Are you using pre-made loops? If so, I like you layered a Dnb loop with a tribal drum loop. It works together really well. I also like the use of the didgeridoo as a sort of bassline.

Keep up the good work. I'd like to hear more from you.

Thanks allot ^-^

The drum and bass loop I made using FPC but the tribal drums are pre-made.

Hopefully ill get some time to make something else :S things are a bit hectic right now so i dont have much time to do anything.

[Abandon All Hope]

really nice.

I really like this. Smooth melody, nicely layer, good progression. I like those little "drip drop" sounds it has in the beginning, they're nice and percussive enough to give the song structure, but they're not overbearing and loud and typical drum would be. That's a really nice subtle way to give the song a back bone. I lot of people would have just jammed a kick drum in there.

I also love the way it just kind of softens out at the end. The melody ends and it just becomes the base layers.

This is quite good.

This is what I think of when I create ambient-sounding tracks in my head. Something soft, subtle, and yet, deliciously powerful. Glad you like it!

[Cheesy 90's trance @ 160BPM]

haha, cool

nice, it delivers exactly what the title says. I love the drum roll build ups at 0:40. That's so classic 90's. This whole track is like some sort of parody/ celebration of old trance. And that being said, it actually sounds better than a lot of stuff on here. great job with this one; I like it.

8/10
5/5

sbooy responds:

haha, thank you good sir! :)

[Xublime - Paint My World 100%]

ad;kljfs

this is pretty interesting. It was weird at first because the whole thing sounds detuned and I never really got quite used to it. Also, how does this melody even work? It feels like a few piano press and some are echoing and reverberating. It's a pretty neat sound, but it feels very structureless. I kinda like that though.

what I don't like is that thumping bass drum that appears at 3:06. It feels sporadic and arbitrary. It doesn't really flow well with the rest of the song.

Overall, this is an interesting piece though, I just wish it was a bit more cohesive.

Xublime responds:

Mhmm.. My views, and imagination isn't known as being grounded. I have a very obscure pattern like thought line. Surely, this isn't the end of my strange worlds. I will be making alot of songs, I am positively sure you will soon find a song that you will dearly hold as a favorite. Thankyou for the review, and the fair score. ^^.

That drum at 3:06, was part of the story, the transition from leaving nightmode to daymode.

[It is All Going To Be Okay]

generally pleasant

lots of cool stuff here. The nice "video-game-y" synth at the start. The beat is constantly being changed, which is very neat. It gives the song a nice sense of progression. I also love how the bass line gives the song a bit of a reggae feel to it.
It's a little short though. Why not make it loop a little better? or just have it repeat an earlier section as a chorus. But there isn't anything here that I can really complain about. This is a great little tune.

9/10

NKAT responds:

u r a nice guy buyj3llo and I gotz much respect for your music. Thanks for taking the time man, means a lot. Have a nice time.

[Aids or Abortion]

This sounds like an Nkat song.

lots of goofy ass sounds. super jumpy and happy. well put together and unique sounding. Yep, it's you alright. great work on this.

love the way it switches up halfway through, It's like I'm getting 2 songs for the price of 1.

[Cirrus Cruise (WiP) [RNG]]

qwe[ir

Great. You have such a good ear for smoothness and filter pacing. You combine things in a way that gives off a feeling of relaxation and mellowness. Because of the softness of the track, I feel that the snare comes in a little harshly at 1:38. However, the sound does fit, it's not out of places one you let it play for a few beat.
Great track.

10/10
5/5

Sirdangolot5 responds:

I felt similarly and fixed it in the upcoming full release. I'll message you, but look for it here and on my bandcamp :D

[Twisted Ambient Scenery]

reminds me of earthbound.

weird, sounds like aliens are landing. This would be excellent background noise for the appropriate setting. It sets a sci-fi mood very well. Good job on this one.

9/10 5/5

treyhaur responds:

This is one that I tried to make into a much longer track but I couldn't figure out where to go with it. So I cut it down and just accepted it as just a weird little piece of audio. Glad you enjoyed it though

Thanks for the review!

[Ambien Won't Help]

cool.

cool. This is great thinking music. I could easily see this in some sort of puzzle game. I appreciate the subtlety of the track, but at the same time, I wish there were a few more layers that made it feel like the song was making some sort of progress.

at around 1:49, when that new sounds comes in is a great moment. Thats the kind of layer that takes this song to a different place. Really nice touch.

treyhaur responds:

Thanks for the kind words.
I do believe that this track could benefit from a melody, even if it were a subtle one.
I didn't really think of it that way but you have a point, it does sound like sound puzzle game music.

Thanks for reviewing!

[Ninja Gaiden: Masked Devil]

cool

Pretty neat. I never played Ninja Gaiden, so I don't really know how close this is to the original or how much you have changed. What I do know is that the sounds that you have here work well together. It sounds nice, However, I do wish that it went a little further. It sounds like a quick loop, and it's good for what it is.

8/10. 5/5.

treyhaur responds:

Well, I was going to leave the previous version I made up but I couldn't stand the bass sound I used (it sounded kind of of "muddied" and didn't have the smooth tone the new one had. I should have reposted it as a loop but it seemed a little long for that.

Thanks for the review!

P.S. You have gotta play the Ninja Gaiden for the NES, it's a classic little piece of sidescrolling history
