[Two Monkeys on a Mountain]

Well...

It doesn't really match up together in some parts. The guitar playing is good, but the actual quality is pretty... well.. bad.

I'll give you 5 for guitar playing, but I have to take off 5 for the lack of it's sync up and the poor quality.

Komozu responds:

Yea, if there's anything i need right now, it's a decent microphone.

[Speed Slow]

I like it

For such a minimal song it kept my interest the entire time. I enjoyed it very much, especially the water drums? Were those live recordings? If not, what drum machine did you use?

And which strings synth were you using?

I also thought it was an excellent use of quiet, barley noticable synth padding in the left and right.

Bak-R responds:

Hi, to be honest, i just use a basic drums kit but i work on the reverb, and the EQ. and to make some effect like that you just need to put a Equalizer (Old Phone, Radio ) effect ^^ and it's all ^^.

So i just use a drum kit from cubase, but you can do the same think in fl studio ^^.

The strings synth : at the begining it's the galaxy string from cubase with more reverbe ^^. and real string from East west orchestral gold.

The string synth is : "Evolving Galaxies" from HalionOne.

i hope it'll help you.

[The lonely pigeon]

Absolutely love it.

Well done. Love the delay in the beginning. It sounds like it's mixed well regardless of how well you may be now. I mean, you could make the snare and bass harder for more of an impact, but who really cares. It fits together well.

Is your bass side-chained to your kick?

KioryFreeman responds:

I have no idea, to be honest I still don't know how I do half the stuff I do now, could you elaborate?

[Photocell]

Cool

I like it. I like the mixing in the drums and how minimal the sounds were. It knows it's an electronica piece, and it certainly plays with that, even with vocoded vocals.

I like it. And I always love well done delay :)

[<666 ERROR>]

Preferences fall short

In my opinion, there simply isn't enough of anything actually melodic in here for me to want to push it through. It sounds too much like random sounds that were thrown together with little knowledge. There's something to be said for original creativity, but this just feels like it's going nowhere.

Or am I missing something?

Skarred4Life responds:

no, it's pretty much just random shit, i was kinda just messin with fl

[Techno The Awsome]

Quantize

Did you play that guitar part? The guitar is very crisp and nice sounding if you did.

The rest seems more or less very... jumbled. The end got better. But as more elements came in it just sounded wrong. Especially when the heavier synth came in. It was just playing in a different scale and sounded bad.

Quantize your lead licks at the very least so it matches up.

Carterman1 responds:

Well I did play the Guitar part. I have a Les Paul and I understand how the synth came in bad but thx for the 4 points!!!!!! those are the only points iv goten so I gave u 10 points.TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKK YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUU UUUUUUUUU.
