Heart Of Piano

"I thought this would have scored higher..."

submission: Heart Of Piano
date: May 4, 2008

I thought this would have scored higher seeing as its got a great tune and is well composed.

There is nothing really negative I can say about it.

Well done on a great track :D

"I thought this would be more popular"

date: April 21, 2008

Not bad my friend :D

I'll list all of the pro's and con's that I can see

Con's
-The drum samples you used I don't like, they do start sounding better though the rest of the song.

-And the only thing else I can see is that it goes for a little it too long

Pro's
-This is mixed fantastically.

-The drum beat sounds cool.

-The general tune of the song is well thought out and the instruments work very well with this song.

I can't think of how you can really improve this, well done my friend :D

[TMM43] Hard Sounds

"Good trance :D"

date: April 18, 2008

Woah, this is nice :D

The mixing is fantastic, the voice overs are implemented really well and have a nice amount of bass, the drum beat is is not shitty generic trance, I do also like the bass line, its not to obvious which in this song adds a lot of "flavour" to the music.

The only beef I have with this is that it is a little repetitive, and after the vocals come in I think you should put in a string, another string, or another lead line, because it doesn't seem to "powerful" after the build up. This sorta makes it seem like something is missing, this is only my humble opinion though :D

Well done on a nice track, 5/5 and 10/10 from me, you do deserve it my friend :D

Good work

"Review :D"

submission: {DJDF} Trancechno
date: April 11, 2008

Nice lead up to the song, I don't like the vocals though and the general percussion I dislike, but I tend to dislike all stock Fruity Loops percussion. The basic tune of this was really good, some instruments though, like the one at 2:07, are much too loud and drown out everything else.

Good song, well done

The vocals are just to say it's by me (DeadFlower) and an ad in the song to my homepage. Plus it'll keep people from stealing my work. But other than that thanks for the feedback.

The Highest Gear (TG Remix)

"Good :D"

date: April 11, 2008

Not bad :D

You need better percussion samples though.

Honestly, I think that's all you need, listening to the rest, the tune is good and the other instruments sound like good techno.

If you'd like I could send you some better kick samples.

Just PM me if you'd like them :D

Well done though on this track

4/5 and 9/10 from me

That is so so funny you say that, the drums are actually temporary and I will be re-doing them when I get some roland samples which I have but are at my other house. I 100% agree with you the drums hurt it a lot but it's all I have to work with right now (using garagebands default techno drums). Really appreciate the comment, and if you want to pass along those drums samples i am very interested.

Flash Helix no.2

"This is not my genre but..."

submission: Flash Helix no.2
date: April 8, 2008

This is not my genre but I can appreciate well composed music. My only "beef" with this song is that, if its hip hop, where is the vocals? This track really does need vocals, then it would stand out a lot more.

None the less, nicely mixed, good choice of instruments, overall well done :D

Pure Elegance

"Lets play the pro's and cons games...."

submission: Pure Elegance
date: March 13, 2008

Ok, lets play the pro's and cons games

First Cons, they tend to be easier :P

Cons:
-The piano, I think, should have more reverb on it and have less midrange freqs.
-The snare roll should have a bit more bass and mid on it.
-The bass line has a lot to be desired for as well...lack of complexity.
-It does get a little bit repetitive, ONLY A LITTLE THOUGH.
-There isn't much percussion either.
-For a trance song the over bass isn't loud.

Pros:
-The piano has a fucking great tune.
-The bells work very nicely.
-The stringed instruments work very well and sound very professional.
-The snare rolls that you put in fit very well and add a lot of ambiance to the song.

There ARE more cons the pros, but whenever I write a review, there always are. Seriously though, very nice song, it is indeed your best, and I would be proud to submit this song. Very well done, you are a magnificent artist with a lot of potential and talent. Regardless of the above pros and cons, you do deserve a 10/10 and 5/5.

Hope to hear more soon

PM me when you submit again

Thanks for the levelling/mastering suggestions. I don't really know much about mastering in FL, but I usually don't have too much problem avoiding it. unless I'm doing it without realizing it...

the newer version will have many more "takes" on the main riff, so even if they're not all completely different, I've learned that just the slightest bit of change can make something less monotonous

I hate the way I can't fit myself into one genre, because this really is more of a fusion piece. Classical instrumentation, but more electronic assembly and arrangement.

Thanks for the review, of course. :D

Living Nightmare

"Silent Hill?"

submission: Living Nightmare
date: March 12, 2008

Woah, this song is great :D

Those drums you have sound awesome...almost from silent hill. The background distortion which fades out at the beginning of the song, sounds awesome. The noise at 4:34 sound heaps creepy :P

The only downside to this track is the lack of melody, and length, and the worst out of those two is the length. I think it does go for a bit too long.

Regardless, a very nice track, nice experimental piece you have here, well done my friend :D

Your friend,

Anima :D

Author's Response:

Thanks, yeah, I might put more melody in. hmm, maybe some long whiny strings, and some reversed/distorted piano. bwa ha ha...

the drums are just a soundfont called ruckus with fl distortion on them.

huh. didn't want to do anything more with this song, but now that it's mentioned, I do want to. interesting.

well it won't be for a while, but thanks for the review man! Means a lot.

All I can say is......fucking fantastic my friend.

I honestly can't think of anything wrong with this track, The mixing is great, the drums are great, the tune is great.....nothing negative I can see at all. I know that's not much help, but seriously, I don't think you could do anymore to this track at all.

Well done my friend

March 13, 2008

Author's Response:

awwwwww thanks man.

I think the track is a bit muddy meself, me harmonys are too drowned but hey everyone else seems to thinks its on. It needs mastering though and i aint too good at that yet. The drums are ezdrummer, I seriously advise you to get it. I aint a drummer i can't be arsed with drums fucking leave it to that i tell thee. haha well a review is better than no review at all glad you enjoyed it and thanks again.
