Great

Yesterday I was browsing around looking for Dance music to put on a CD and I found this, but I hadn't realized this was the #1 song of the week. Congrats on that!

It was all really good, except I didn't really like the lyrics part. It sounded pretty dark and didn't fit into the song too well. Everything else was fantastic though.

Niiiiiiiiiice

Really sweet piece you've got here. It sounds like something you'd hear in some sort of lounge. It's really well composed. It's your greatest piece yet.

5/5

HouseMasta responds:

yay 5/5! thanks a lot!

LOLWTF?

This piece is very LOUD. I don't know what you were thinking when you made this, but it's not too great. I'm a big fan of you and all, but this piece is not too great. It's really hard to tell some of the things apart. This sounds like a bad mix between Techno and DNB. You should really just stick to DNB because you're a lot better at that.

Sorry for the bad review, but I just didn't like it.

TheComet responds:

fully understandable, this is a little diff than my usual stuff

No worries though, got a remix of "Feeling Better" and "Evershine" in the works, also have "Pacifist" and an unnamed Gao Breakbeat in the works, and I promise you they'll be great :) (Pacifist is bouncey, I love it)

Nice!

Got a awesome song here man. Nothing that I can really say that you need to improve on. Good job!

Thanks for your review matey really appreciated :)

I don't know who you are

But I'm liking your music! This song is awesome! It's great to have you as an addition to the portal.

The only thing I would suggest improving on are the basses. They're loud, repetative, and get quite annoying after a while. Just mix them up a little more.

Great piece. 5/5

I get ya cheers matey :D

How did you make this?

This song sounds a lot like the original with just a few effects added here and there. I'm just wondering how you are making these. Did you import a MIDI and then change up some things? Did you take an MP3 of the song and then alter it? It sounds so much like the original. A lot of your songs are like this, but have some alterations, some done better than others. That's not really what a remix is. Try making your remixes a little more original and stop with the small differences from the original. I'm not gonna vote on this until I know how you made this.

I get that alot. ^_^'
Here's a response from an email. I'm getting sick of typing it out, so now; every time someone asks... I'm just copy pasting...
"Actually, to be completely honest, I like to think of myself as more of a restoration artist, than a remix artist. Some songs I do remix, but mostly, I attempt to re-capture the original impact that the song had; if not amplify it. If you think that's a waste of time, then take a look at the numbers of some of my downloads. There's alot of demand for it, even if you yourself don't care. I personally enjoy listening to realistic versions of classic songs I grew up with. Who cares whether or not it's creative, if people enjoy it?
Plus, the main reason I started an account as LightOtaku (aside to prove that remix/restoration artists get more attention than original ones), was to better understand the workings of orchestral music. When I restore a song, I take the midi... Disect it... Look at every individual part, and I experiment with it. I take a look at what emotional effects certain instruments have, and why they have said effect. I do this to better my own original work."

I finally did it

I finally got around to reviewing you. :)

Anyways, it was a simplistic piece. It was quite cool. Could've used a little more as it got closer towards the end. I'm not a real big fan of Ambient music, but this is pretty good.

itsameyayo responds:

Awesome, I tryed to make this a core ambient piece, so yeah, it's turning out pretty nicely : )

A generic title to a review

Normally I don't listen to songs as soon as they're entered into the portal, but I saw the symbol you used in the name, and I was wondering how you did that. If you want to tell how, just respond to this review.

ANYWAYS! On to the music. It was fairly plain, nothing to new or great. Just could use some more tracks. You should've made it longer too. Fairly interesting piece, but nothing to get excited about. Continue working on the music.

mariomusicmaker1 responds:

thankyou vary much for good review and critisisom. a rare combo! umm if u have win xp and you go into your start menu u will find a thing called symbol viewer and i chose a random 1 and copy paste just to draw attention and apperenty it worked well!

Tehcno Rock

I see where you get the Techno, but I feel this to be more of a Rock piece, and it makes a great one. I liked the piece overall, but the Guitar was a little too distorted, and some of the song was a little buzzy. You should've increased the bitrate just a little bit to give it a better quality. Great piece.

I'm in a great mood today, so I'll 5 this. :D

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Thanks for your review, well i had a bit of a toughy picking genre, tho it most definitely isn't rock but it has rock elements to it, they don't have electronica as a category i don't think, but i would have stuck it there if they had
and I'm trying to address my audio issues, regarding the clarity, hopefully have that settled soon!

Well thanks again

Peace Out!

Not Heavy Metal

The song isn't dark and, blatantly, isn't heavy enough to be Heavy Metal. For it to be Heavy Metal, it would need a much more riffy guitar, some drums, which it seems like you have none, and maybe a louder bass. You need to add more support to the song. Nicely done, but needs more.

Come check out my new piece: http://newgrounds.com/audio/view.php?id=1682211&sub=62553
