"Butterscotch, yo!"

I liked it. The melodies and chords were really groovy. And the voices you used were good.
I see you panned the drums, but they got a bit annoying and unbalanced after a while. Maybe just pan a few things? The right-left thing was a tad annoying. But nice drums though.
I think you should mix it up a bit more. Maybe add a organ solo, cause I could hear that needed a solo. Maybe some other melodies too. Mix this song up with some variation, and it would definately get full marks from me.

"Nice melody"

submission: Mysterious [DjLj]

date: December 18, 2007

Yeah, nice melody. Try and break from the norm though! Ask yourself, what is it about the production of this tune that makes it stand out?
Seriously, it got good marks for a well constructed melody and sub-melodies (chords too).
But, marks were taken off cause the style wasn't really anything new. Although, with that said, I did like the part with just the bass and drums.
All in all, maybe mix it up with some unusual synths, maybe some samples.
Nice one.

"People are stupid,"

Well, you already know why I like this song from the Facepunch thread :)
But I hate the stupid ratings you're getting for this song. People are close minded.

"Innovative!"

Pretty awesome that you made the WHOLE thing using just a few drum kit samples.

"Meh."

submission: Incline Fall

I liked the melodies in between the stupid chromatic bits.
Sorry, but chromatic scales hardly ever work in music.

"Energetic."

Has potential! Should extend this- it would be an interesting listen.

Score: 10

"Wow"

submission: Stories of the Past

date: December 13, 2007

Seriously. Wow.
Very cinematic! Sounds great, and you've used very high quality VSTs. They sound very realistic!
But, the melody lines are amazing too.
It flows very nicely. It keeps to the same theme, but branches out on a lot of different melodies. That's hard to do.
You've created very nice transitions. Even though the melodies and voices change, they interchange very well.
All in all, it's really great!
You want to improve though- so could I suggest constructing a main theme melody and come back to that every so often?
Seriously, this is so great! And is a VERY welcome break from the generic N ts N ts N ts N ts techno crap you get on here mostly.

"Quite funky rhythms"

submission: I Have No Idea What's Going On

date: December 13, 2007

Good rhythmic patterns, but no melodies or other synths to speak of.
Nice drums though.

Score: 2

"Meh."

submission: The Power Within (for games)

Pretty bad really. Just a Toxic III preset.

Score: 9

"Nice!"

submission: I Am Insane (yes sir)

date: December 12, 2007

Very hard. Very acidic. Yeah, really cool. Only took one star off cause it could have used some better transitions and mastering.
