[Bucket of Loops: Menu 02]

I like it!
Maybe the drums could be a bit softer though, especially that snare really stands out.
For the rest, no complaints :p Looking forward to the next bucket (of loops)

alternativesolution responds:

Thanks for the feedback :3 Hope it's better now.

[Coded]

This is a pretty nice song.
Some pointers..
Like DjAbbic said, the piano could sound a bit more realistic. You do make good use of dynamics though!
Also, maybe you could have a bit more going on. I mean, it doesn't seem to have a sort of.. direction. It doesn't seem to go anywhere.
I do like the calmness though and the melody. And the ending.

So, good work and keep striving for improvement! :)

geniebmusic responds:

Thank you for the advice! I'll work harder for sure.

[It's The Way(Demo Track)]

Gonna be honest here..
I don't particularly like this. Not saying it's bad, but it could use some work.
The piano sounds very.. robotic and could do with some humanizing. The strings sound pretty weak.
But aside from how they sound, what they play is alright. Not the most original composition, but i think it accomplishes what you are aiming for.
And your singing.
I think you could put a bit more.. intonation into it. It sounds pretty flat, if i'm honest. Your voice does have potential though.
At some points.. it sounds pretty off key. Especially after 02:10.

I'm not trying to be an ass or something, in my opinion a critical review that points out things to improve on can help you more than ''Oh wow i like it'' although the latter is nicer to hear.
Don't stop making music and keep improving! :)

[Salvation]

Oh my..
Love it. Absolutely love it.
Amazing work, sir.

[That's the Way I [t]Roll]

Great track man! Like J-Rex said, the drummer is really good. And the whole song is pretty kick-ass!
Keep this up man :D

[{B.A.B.} Blood for Blood]

You've still got it!
Intense and epic are words that cross my mind when thinking how to describe this song.
The only point of critique i have is that the timpani is maybe a bit too low. I don't know, i just wish it would be a bit clearer.
Great job on this, keep it up! :D

blackattackbitch responds:

Someone else on a different site said the same thing about the timpani. I have to find a better timpani to use.
Glad you liked it though!

[Game Loop 1]

Pretty cool!
..It's weird how i'm still used to giving my review a title.
Anyway, this is a pretty cool loop. I feel you could add some more things though. If you still have the project file, that is :p
I like the hip-hop kind of drumbeat :)
Miss a melody though.. it could be that you left it out intentionally, but i don't know.. i feel like it needs a bit more.
Good job on this though, i like the rhythm and style. And the mixing is good too!

8/10
5/5 :O

alternativesolution responds:

Thanks! I pretty much didn't put any effort into this. that or I was in a flurry of making other things and I just don't remember spending much time on it haha.
Anyway, this was meant to be simple. I did leave out a melody, but if it would sound better I can just overall expand on it. Thanks for reviewing as always! :)

[==(Buoyant)==]

This is a great track. Love how it evolves, how it keeps my attention.
Mixing is superb.. and i want to hug that synth that kinda sounds like a modified rhodes.
Also, what Supersteph said about that 'Spyro-feeling'.. i can see what he means.
Didn't occur to me until he mentioned it though.
*Looks up music from Spyro 2... nostalgia happens*
Your kicks always sound so nice. Perfect mix of depth and punch. Heck, all your percussion sounds nice.
Not really going to say anything negative about this track.. won't give you pointers.
I would if i could, but.. yeah.
TL;DR: Nice track bro

[Robot Takeover (RD2011)]

Sounds.. robotic

Yeah, pretty cool loop :)
I like the phasing effect on one of the synths. Can't describe which one :p
But yeah, this just sounds creepy and.. yeah.. cool.
This would perfectly fit in a Flash game or movie with a dark and mysterious atmosphere. Maybe a 2D game where you control a robot and you have to sneak up on humans to kill them.
The looping could be better though. I can hear when it starts again, almost as if the song stutters a bit.
But this is just a really good loop. No further comments :p
Keep on doing what you're doing! :D

alternativesolution responds:

Ha that's a great idea for a game! Now if only I could make one lol. I'll see if I can fix the looping. And thanks :)

[-A Taste Of...- V.3]

Love it!

I've been listening to this for a few days now, so i thought i'd just leave you a review. To say how nice this song is and how much i like it.
Well, i like it very much. And this song is very nice.
There, i told you how nice this song is and how much i like it.
I don't think there's any other point to this review.
Everything has been pointed out and it's still a work in progress.
So yeah, can't wait to hear the new version. Keep up the great work!

10/10

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

Thanks!
