[Creepy tune]

Repetitive.

Okay.....
The mastering on the song could certainly use work. The instruments sound too digital and a little more mastering is needed to bring them to life. Unless of course you were intending on this sound. Which I can't complain, some video games do have this sound to them.
As for the song itself. The melody is..... somewhat... creepy. Not very though. You didn't put enough into it to make it "creepy". Another thing is that you're repeating the same thing over and over again. Which is totally fine, but you're going to need more variation within your song so that it doesn't bore the audience out.
With that said, you could also make it longer by adding more variation to it. Also, the end to this..... is rather ear hurtful. Organ chord ending is fine... but not so loud.
Keep working on the song.

Like I've said to others before, I'm afraid I have little to no access to good mastering software, as, not only am I using Linux, it's a rare distribution of it, so I'm afraid what I've got is the best thing available-this sound was not intended. As for your second point, regarding the "creepiness", that was just the best name I could think of at the time. I know it is repetitive. It is one of my curses. When I write a piece, I always seem to add to it instead of change it-so there is always little variation. My "Questin" piece is a slight exception to this. Yeah, sorry about the ending, I don't know what I was thinking. The piece was originally composed for 3 guitars, but as my choice of software has no MIDI compatability, I had to choose from the crappy synths available. Thanks for your honesty though, most bad reviews I get don't give tips on how to improve, but yours does, so I will take these points into account.

[Fuckaroo Mountain]

Needs work.

I think you should try to continue this song.
It really is a great sounding song and beat. I like how from 0:27 to 0:40 it sounds. It's a great way to transition.
Good job.

[+*. TranCanon .*+ (demo)]

Canon!

Indeed, I agree with you. Canon is a really easy song to remake. Your remake isn't that bad.
Let's see....
You had this weird background noise sound that sounded like cicadas....... I'd change that. It's a little annoying.
The accompaniment synth should be subdued a little since it overcomes the lead melodic synth by a lot. Also, when that synth exits, it's very abrupt.
I like how near the end you changed the melody a little. It's a nice touch.
Great job over all. Can be improved on.

Special-Ed responds:

Wow, I don't think I've ever recieved a more useful review! I had a feeling that the /breathy/ noise was used a little too much. But, HEY, thats what I submitted the demo for! and you think the Bassline thing should be quieter? I think I understand what you mean. I'll try my best...

Seriously, though, try just learning the left hand part of this song, and just play any 2 notes per bar in your right hand, and it will sound good. I have composed like 4 songs with this same chord progression.

Well, hope to get the full out soon. Untill then, enjoy this one.
( T_T) ...
Thats an order.

[[TMM43] Techno Rocker]

This is AWESOME!

I haven't heard the original song, but irregardless of that this is a very awesome piece that you have here. I wouldn't be surprised to hear this on the top 5 list. :D
Great work you got going there!

-HFX ^_^

[So Irresistible Remix]

Great job!

I think that this is a really good remix! I like it a lot myself.
It's got more dynamics that the original does.

-HFX ^_^

[You're Banned]

HAHAHA!

You should've stuck this at the end of that Xaos PM thing! XDD

-HFX ^_^

Rig responds:

Wow, you're right! Why didn't I think of that? :C

[-'+ Primary Desease +'- WiP]

Nice!

I guess you already know that I love the classical stuff. So the first minute was really great! I like your use of the flute. It sounds nice. The synth strings could be made to sound better.
The trance afterwards is also awesome! :D
I'd love to hear the finished version!

-HFX ^_^

Krussi responds:

Glad you liked it Mel :D I intended to do a classical remix of it, but the more I worked on it, the more I wanted it to turn into trance xD I guess I have hard focusing on classical, since I'm idealess when I try to make classical music :P
This will be a collab between me and a friend of mine named "Johan".

Thanks alot for you support, and I love getting reviews from you Mel :)

[Zellers and XenoxX DEMO]

Yay! Let me know!

I want to buy this song! Zellers!!! I'm still a fan of yours. ^_^

Anyways, it sounds really great! I would certainly like to hear the whole song. Will it be buy-able on ITunes? Or what outlet are you using? o.O

[.HLS. Tribute to Trance]

Great job! :D

The part at 0:55 sounds very great! I really like it when you brought in that choir-like synth. The break at 2:06 was pretty cool too.
I wonder what chord sequence you used. Just curious... because I think it's different from the one I have in mind for this melody.

-HFX ^_^

heartless1298 responds:

What do you mean by chord sequence? And thanks! :D

[Wip 3 Remix]

Yay! Finally I get to hear!

Hmm, I don't see much wrong with it. Perhaps in some parts you could use a more quicker kick beat.

I also read the reviews before mine. Automation clips are easy. See anything in FL that has a dial for adjusting? Right click and go down the menu to "Create Automation Clip." After that there's a colorful thing now on your playlist. If you can't see it you may have to drag part of it down to see it. But with that you can use that to adjust levels in mid song. :D If you need more help you can ask me.

LK412 responds:

Yea i know that but is there a way u can like adjust the line on that clip easier. Mine keeps going all over the place when i change the line thing and it goes to like 500 bpm when i want it at like 140. Thats the problem i have thx.
