[Metropolis Zone Remix]

Pretty good...

The only reason I have anything bad to say is because I absolutely hate the original song - thought about remixing it myself to banish some demons, but I can't...

I think you did it pretty well. Very upbeat, sounds good.

Well...

Like I said with your other song, drum variation could help. Also, try using a simple reverb and Parametric EQ on the drums to punch them up a bit. Even FL demo has those. I use FL Studio 7, so I know that the beat has much more potential. I really like the background noise, definitely the best part of the song.

No offense, but whatever instrument that main theme is played in is wretched ;)

DJ-Zoysa responds:

HAHAHAHA! I KNOW RIGHT!!!

yeh man i made this pretty much a year ago!!! this is like maybe 2 days after i got fl 7 demo (lulz) i didnt even know how to put in effects then or how to open the mixer! thanks for ur tips, i'll take it into account

cheers, DJ Zoysa

Decent beat, good ambiance

I like the basis of what you are going with here. I'd like to hear the ambiance and sound effects lead into the drum beat. While you have a good SOUNDING drum loop, it could use some variation and depth with maybe some congas or side stick.

Keep working on this. I think that if you just play it through, adding some notched tunes or other instruments with the beat, you could have a pretty complete song!

DJ-Zoysa responds:

thanks so much ;D

yes this is back in the dasy where i'd chuck the drum in first off without kinda leading into it with even a couple of kicks then progressing into the main drum, or with an instrument first.

im glad that a year ago my songs are still getting pretty alright reviews!

cheers, DJ Zoysa

[Fortissimo]

Good tune, but...

I like the basic tune. A little repetitive towards the end, but a good basis for an original piece.

What program do you use for music rendering? I think you could probably do a lot better for a realistic sounding piano. That would be my only major concern with this piece.

SoulRed12 responds:

Hey thanks for the review =D

I'm using Garage Band right now, I know that's not exactly the top of the line but hey, it's free, and that just happens to be my budget limit XD I suppose I'll fiddle with the settings to see if I can make it sound more realistic and maybe I'll re-upload or something.

[8 Bit Boss Theme (DEMO)]

Pretty good!

I like it a lot for an 8-bit piece. Well done.

Thanks a lot!
