[Koopa's Road Remix]

Alrighty my take

The only problem with this song is that it doesn't do justice to the original. I think this felt a little too...electronic maybe? The original is immensely epic, not saying that your mix is bad because this was good, just not up to par. That's all. Good job on the composing however.

DJtheSdotcom responds:

Yeah, you're right. Actually it should sound electronic, but....
It sounds a bit messed up, I have to work on this a little more.
Thanks for the comment!

[Going the Distance]

sweet dude

In my opinion, you should cut this down majorly if you want it to be a victory song. When I think victory song I think like 20, 30 seconds at max. But you're very right, this would sound sweet as a victory song. Nice composing, the kick could have had a little more presence, but that's about it.
Good job

[Martin - Pollywog]

Nice job

Great job with the mixing and mastering here. You also gave us a tune that wasn't uber repetitive and for that I thank you. My only beef here is with the intro...I just hate intro's with crowds cheering...it's been used waaaaayyy tooo much! But besides that this is a kick ass song!

Lalalo14 responds:

Thank you very much.
My thought was to make something a little different with the tune and I'm happy you liked it :D
And I'm with you at the using of the crowd.. I did put in it early on so when i listened without it, it sounded unnatural in some strange way hahaha :P

[Dubstep Preview Thing]

sweet

Sounds a hell of a lot like Routron 5000, which is a very good thing. Do you happen to play guitar? I think this could sound awesome with a bad ass backing guitar riff. Like a choppy breakdown pattern perhaps. But this is bad ass as it is, just turn it up!

Ouillo responds:

I don't, sadly, but i have a ton of chugged guitar samples that i could use :]

[Lrad Operator]

Great job

Good job Charles...lemme know when the album drops

CCCAGENTCHARLES responds:

OK WILL DO THANK YOU FOR THE TEN

[Acid Watermelon (instrumental)]

This goes perfect to the Corona animation!

I like this...it's growing on me quite a bit. I like how it has that hip-hop house beat, but it has a very ambient feel to it at the same time with some occasional e-bit sounding riffs. And real soothing synths compliment the beat. Great job composing and mixing here.

Dj-PinkWalrus responds:

Thank you for the compliments kind sir. Personally, I think this works best with the neon tide animation, but everybody has their own preferences. I will give your song a look and tell you what I think.

[Hop42]

Pretty cool

I like the beat and that fuzzy bass is infectious...however, I feel you could have done a better job of making the sound a little more crisp, however, if you were going for more an 8-bit feel then you have succeeded here my friend. Only other problem is that it doesn't loop perfectly but I suck at that shit anyway so I really can't complain. Anyway cool loop though bro.

Cyberdevil responds:

Does seem like the loop is a few miliseconds off, I could probably fix that... thanks for the comment!

[Mix /* Loop */]

Alrighty

Here's the deal...while this loop is mixed very well, it has a severe flaw that make it hard to be enjoyable. The fact is that the "steel drum," or what sounds like an agogo to me does go off beat towards the end somehow. Be very careful when composing material to ensure that every instrument is going the same tempo. Even though this doesn't loop perfect, it's not a big deal. It's hard to get stuff to loop perfectly and takes a lot of time and patience unless you have a program designed for it (I don't so my loops are always just slightly off). I like the jungle beat you have going here a lot, but I would definitely recommend that if you fix the tempo issue, also turn down the volume on the agogo/steel drum as it is a bit overpowering. If you can fix that up then you may have a decent little riff here. The next step is to work on a melody and bassline. Keep working on it and you'll get the hang of it.

By the way...what program did you use to make this?

sykokid3 responds:

Thanx man That Is really very helpful .. And The software tool that i used Magix music maker

[SKACH]

Alrighty...

Sooo...great melody here...reminds me of Tiesto in a sense, which is very good my friend. My only problem with the song and the reason I gave this an eight is the fact that the drums seem very plain jane...the drums are just weak sauce. They are not powerful at all they have no real groove to them. I just feel the kick and closed open high hat especially could use a little boost to their mid gains...but that's just me. Anyway still giving you a five for a bombing ass melody.
Good job.

yea..too bad i can fix it..i only got a demo version))))..thanks for the review

[My Mechanical Nightmares WIP]

Damn son

Nice infectious beat here...damn i say that a lot lately...but anyway it is. Has me dancing in my chair as I listen to this for the third time. Call me an ass for giving this a nine, but as much as I like this I have a few things to bitch about. First, what the hell where those samples. Not that I didn't like them, but they caught me off guard. They didn't seem to fit very well, but it got me thinking that some Doom samples, specifically of the monsters dying, would sound sweet as hell there. Secondly, whats up with the fade out to the same riff, which goes into my next point: it is very repetitive. I know this is a work in progress but I was expecting the song to change a little after the random fade out in the middle of the song, but it went back into the main riff. A little too much of a good thing can be a bad thing my friend. I dunno I would just say play around with that. It's up to you though, who gives a fuck what I say. But anyway, regardless of all that jibbajabba you have a good quality song here that's produced pretty nicely and i'm sure it'll be a beast ass track once youre finished. Let me know when it's done.
Props!

aloneagainfriend responds:

Again, Matthew, I thank you for your input.... But, I do feel like I should tell you... The fad out / in thing, I like alot!
But, as I (tryed to) state in my Author Comz, I only used that same riff to show the versatility of the melody... It was only for fun, and I assure you, the melody will change on the end version.... worry not good friend, I fully understand that there are expectations to meet with this track. I won't disappoint.

Ps. DAMN YOU BOY! This track just wouldn't feel like true "ZombieGaraeSale" music with out the crazy (yet, still not perfected) vocal samples.
TY VERY MUCH!
BEST REVIEW YET!
