[Fire Anthem by Enteroar]

Good

I liked the intro, the reverb gave it a really cool effect.

Though, I had some issues with the song, for instance I expected the drums to take full effect at 00:22, since you used fast drums in the transition, but then they stop, and they don't really come in fully until 00:45 so it felt a bit unnatural.

I also think it would have had more of an impact if at 00:22 you had the drums and all the instruments (I don't know how many more you actually used than near the begging) playing like you did at 01:52

Anyhow, a bit rough around the edges, but over all it's not bad.

Enteroar responds:

Wow thanks for the great review.
1st: thats cus I sped up a sample 31 bpm xD
2nd: I used about 4 at the end, I only did that so it wouldnt seem as repetitve :P
3rd: Thanks Im still a noobie xD

[RX - Empathy]

Great

Sounds good, creates a pretty good atmosphere.

Could try changing up the velocity of the piano every once in awhile to give it a little realism, but I suppose it depends what kind of sound you're going for.

Anyhow, great song.

crazygamer88 responds:

thank you so much for listening. i greatly appreciate it. I'll change the velocity of the piano as soon as i mastered the mixing.

[Lost in the Cavern]

Great

Sounds great, impressive production quality.

mr-vincent responds:

haha, thanks a lot :)

[The Journey Begins !]

Pretty good

Sounds great.

Though, is it just me or are there "breaks" in the song? You can hear what I'm talking about at 00:44, it's as if all the sound cuts out for a split second (kinda like when a non looped song repeats, since a song isn't looped, the reverb from the instruments doesn't carry over)

None the less, keep up the good work.

Maverlyn responds:

try turning on surround if you have it.. it takes some heavy gear to listen to the full scale of this song the so called "cut" isnt there its simply a change of instruments

i can say from viewing my editor that theres no space at all between them :)

[{fxar}-fxar's Shadow World]

Pretty good

Pretty good, nice and atmospheric.

My only complaint would be that the drums stand out a bit too much, I don't know what it is but they don't seem to fit too well with the rest of the song. It would have been cool to see something else keep the beat rather than you're typical bass and snare, like mechanical sounds or the sound of something striking medal (Something that would sound more like background noises).

Anyhow, great job.

FXAudioRage responds:

thanks
I knew there was missing

[We're Stars Now]

Repetitive

It's just the same thing repeated over and over again, there's never a change of pace or any development, definitely not enough to constitute a four minute song.

XoXCindyOxO responds:

Its a hip hop BEAT, Not a Classical song. Not Many beats have a moment of peace. They Are mostly used to rap on. why would i make it short? they all repeat. Well thats just what you think but thanks (i guess) for the review...
i didn't think it was necessary for me say its a beat because there are no words.

[Unthinkable - Solidus]

Awesome

2.92? What the hell?

I find the fact that this song has a lower score than some of the poorly slapped together techno tracks on here...rather disturbing.

LoneSaiyan115 responds:

i know.... love the zero bombers haha, but thanks though

[!~Project~!]

Poor

The main focus of the song is the guitar, and the guitar sounds horrible. Not necessarily the melody, but whatever vst you used.

Overall, it sounds pretty empty.

TheElementalProdigy responds:

Well I Kinda Loathe Making Punk/Rock Songs in General For That Exact Reason.
My Guitars Suck!
So i Listened To Some Of Your Stuff And Was Blown Away.
I Would Like To Aquire The Guitar Sound From Your Songs.

[Controlled Chaos]

Great

Pretty good, though the guitar power chords stand out a bit too much (especially since it's slayer, if I'm not mistaken)

NightHawk22 responds:

Yes it is Slayer. Thanks, that is useful information.
