[Þú ert það sem þú gerir (DEMO)]

Nice one!!

I loved that you done this song in Guitar Pro! I wonder when I'll get that one.

It's very well composed, I liked the guitar riff and the drums, they sonded very well together, I liked the lenght too, it isn't too short neither too long.

I liked the way you built the 1:00 melody it's very well done, the transition between the main riff and to that part was awesome.

I also liked a lot the acustic guitar part, was very cool, it has a Ritchie's Blackmore Rainbow feel, loved the drms on that part, they fitted awesomely to the guitar sound. Als, the bass line was awesome, love the line it kept the whole song!!

Pretty good song here, awesomely done in a computer program, I would never do this in Guitar Pro... lol. But, keep it up! I expect to listen more from ya!

TheUprising1 responds:

Thank you!
Guitar Pro 6 is actually a great improvement over the older versions.. it's professional level software now, and I'm not just saying this because they endorse me, lol. Though the reason why this may sound more "natural" in terms of composition might be because I wrote it with my guitar / bass in my hands, improvising a line and then programming it. Worked great for me :D

[House of Rising Sax Sample]

Nice! :D

I love this song, it's soo beautiful!! This song fitted awesomely to he sax sound, pretty cool playing man, liked to hear this song in a different instrument, altough the sax sound trembled sometimes, it was very strange to listen to, the end was very weird, the sound trembled a lot, and there was like a pause in the middle of two notes.

Anyway, I can't think on anything to say about this, it was pretty cool, but the sound trembled a lot, that's why I'm givin you an 8, the song is very cool, great choice, and the sound fitted perfectly to this song!! Keep it up!

AccountableMasses responds:

must of been my vibrato and noise filters put into it.. and yeah, the song itself could loop endlessly. so where it ends is where it begins again... perfect for a loop. could play this on other instruments but for some reason only could remember the song on the sax, not cornet/trumpet.

[You can't run]

Pretty cool!

When I listened the piano melody in the very beggining, I loved it, liked the mix you made with a beautiful piano melody and those drums, it sounded great, I liked the drums beat, and the part the piano was gone was pretty cool, I liked the variations you've done during the whole song, the way you built the melodies was very cool too.

The parti I liked the most was from 2:05 to 2:54, the piano melody was super cool, and I liked the beat following the piano's melody, it was the best part of the song, which was super cool, and good song to chill, very smooth and it has a happy feel.

Anyway, awesome song, I liked it a lot, but I think there was something missing, something more animated I think, there were happy parts and then a kind of sad part, a darker one. But keep up the good work dude!!

RetromanOMG responds:

Hey, well alright. I will admit there was something I could've added to this song, but I doubt I'll ever figure it out.

Still, to know you liked it is very reassuring.

[_Apprehension_]

Nice.

As everybody said, the song is pretty smooth, I liked it, it has a nice ffel and athmosphere, I liked the melody in the beggining and the final organ melody was pretty cool, I liked the 0:25 to 0:53 part, it was pretty cool, it had a smooth sound and I liked the variations of the sounds, the variation of the notes was pretty nice, it's a cool thing to listen to.

I liked the guitar at the end, I think you've done a pretty cool ending, but it really didn't fit w/ the beginning, it was kind of strange listen the end and the beggining quickly, there was a huge variation, I think the first and the last melodies didn't fit well together.

Also, the bass solo was "meh", didn't like it, I personally think bass is not made to do solos, it's supposed to do the song's base, I think. But it didn' mess w/ the song in my opinion.

Anyway, the song is pretty cool to listen to, just the guitars were a bit strange, they had a trembling sound. But, I liked it, keep it up dude!!!

Birdinator99 responds:

Haha yes, the bass solo seems to be quite, "popular", ahem lol.

I agree with you on the varying melodies, however I feel that any instrument can be solo-capable; I just didn't show off the bass very well!

Thanks for your review!

[Epilogue Title]

Hmmm, yes!

I liked this song, it made me feel axactly what you wanted, as described in the author comments, it has a very misterious, dark and it made me chill too.

This song is perfect for a menu, I think it fitted really well with what is on my mind, according to your description, I can immagine the menu, you made an awesome job, if you wanted what is written in your comments, well, it's mission accomplished. Keep it up man!!

Thank you very much. It's always nice when people confirm that I actually achieved what I was going for (it's actually better than if someone says that a piece is perfect but totally doesn't get the actual idea).

[Wind's Lullaby]

Relaxing song!

The notes are all great, the sound of the piano is really relaxing and smooth, it's a very sweet sound, it seems those little boxes of songs, where you turn a little key and the song starts to play.

All the notes flow really well together, I liked the back piano, it's like the drums, they're the base of the song, I really liked the well constructed melody, both pianos looked really well together.

Great job here man, this music is very beautiful, peaceful and smooth, the end could be better, with a break to let us know when the song ended, and it could be smoother, just like SeeD said. Keep it up the awesome work!

whitesymphonia responds:

Oh, never really thought of it as a music box before. :) Yeah, my ending really needs work. It was longer, but I ended up cutting it, so that's why the ending was really abrupt. Thanks for the feedback!

[Splintered Dreams V2]

Liked it!

The beat is very catchy, I started beating my hands in the table according to the songs rhythm, I liked a lot the way you built the main melody, and the breaks were well done, you breaked the song in perfect moments, and made a great and different comeback in each of them.

I liked the variety of this one, it seemed I was listening to 4 different songs at the same time, you variated everytime, I liked that, today there's too much songs with only one beat and it keeps repeating over and over.

I liked the song, pretty cool, you had a lot of creativity to compose this, it seems I'm travelling to another world, I had a great sensation listening to this... Awesome job keep it up, but, next time, make it a little bit longer... :3

sumguy720 responds:

LONGER! BETTER! FASTER! STRONGER!

The length it's at is mostly because I didn't want to have much repetition. I gotta think of moar stuff to add!

Thanks mate!

[.:The_Awakening:.]

Pretty nice!! :)

I liked the epicness of this song, the end has a very epic feel, all thoe instruments, the percussion was awesome, the violins look great, and the main melody is kick-ass, I loved the way you built the song to that break, after that, I liked the piano too, it was a great ending to an epc song, but I still think you could have done more, it was way too short.

As the CheesePants guy and SeeD, I agree with the Master Chief thing, it'd fit perfectly to the game, it kind of remembers me Halo and I can immagine this song as a background of an epic fight.

Anyway, short or long, this song is cool, I liked its epicness, but I wanted to listen more, it's too short, a great idea like this one shoud've been explored a bit more.

GronmonSE responds:

Yup, seems like it's too short. Will work on adding more length next time.

Thanks for the review :)

[the door wont open (demo)]

Nice :)

I liked the song man, pretty well executed, nice riff, nice concept, nice lyrics, everything is fine.

I just found a little slip in the very begin of the song, it's in the 0:12 to 0:13, the timing was wrong, i don't know if it was on purpose, but if it was, sounded very strange.

Also, your voice was trembling a bit, and you sung a bit out of the guitar's rhythm, I could notice that in the harder part. The guitar was very cool, but it was soooo lonely, the piano was nice together, but in the end, I think you could add a drum, just like in "Sairway to Heaven", it would sound cooler and give more life to your voice!

Anyway, I liked the song, very well done, but it was a bit rough on the edges, you can make do an even better job if you add drums. It'll look soooo bad-ass... Keep it up man!

horsebugger responds:

yeah not sure if that slip was me or if it was my recording programme skipping. it does do it again later, but its hidden by other things going on.
And yeah definatly gonna add drums, so far everyones commented on it.

cheers for the review dude!

[~Alfa~ Beyond]

Pretty Awesome.

This song is completely awesome, it have a peaceful feel and an energetic feel at the same time, that's an awesome mix, all the instruments are in harmony, and they seemed like one great instrument playing alone, all the other instruments fitted perfectly, I could feel the song's power, the main beat, the drums, the bass, the synth all worked together as one instrument playing an awesome melody.

That's what Trance is, you took all the trance's characterystics and made a song with calm and energetic beats variating, and you built both perfectly... Man, it was a real professional work Alias... Loved it.

Anyway, the music is awesome, loved everything, I just need to say: Keep it up alias, awesome job. I expect to listen more from you in the future... :D
