Sounds like you spent ten minutes on this.

It feels a little too... simple. It's definitely too short, as well. True, it's a loop, but too short and simple of one to even be used in a game. Try having a real melody instead of that five-note pattern that plays throughout the song. The percussion is also repetitive, as well - maybe not to the same degree as the five-note pattern, but still very repetitive. Try making this longer, and then changing the percussion at a later point in the song. Just trying to help - I hope I did. ;)

Lol yeah thanks, and like i said i've had this program for like maybey just over a week so feedback is always welcome. =D

Good song. :)

Well, to begin with, it starts a little too high-pitched, and then it's a little too loud. The beginning's a bit repetitive, though it gets better as the song goes on. Your transitions are great, but the individual sections are a bit repetitive. The ending could have been better as well. Other than that, it's a great song. :)

Ah, and while I'm at it, why don't I suggest you listen to and review my songs, especially my most recent song, Dark Storms at Sea. It would definitely make my day. ;)

DJ-RISE responds:

Yeah. I didn't really EQ the highs very well. LOL.

But the I meant for the lead to be as loud as that. And the bass to really HIT you when it triggered.

As for the repetitiveness, it is a semi-House track. And House has got to be the most repetitive genre out there. I wanted to stray from the usual House feel, so the song varied in certain respects throughout the track.

Yeah. At the end I was going to get it to run into the next song, which I was planning to be an Electro beat using that Popcorn synth for the main melody....But that didn't happen. LOL. So I just left it like that.

LOL. Yes. I'll check out 'Dark Storms At Sea' when I finish responding to these reviews. But for now that'll have to be the only song I checkout of yours at the moment.

Thanks for your review. Ciao.

Great song!

I felt it was about time I started reviewing your songs, (especially since you're one of my favorite artists!) so why not start now?

As a beginner, I really can't find any flaw in the song since you're 10x better at this than I am. =P One suggestion I have for this is that you should have changed things up about halfway or so through the section of the song that begins 53 seconds in and continues for most of the rest of the song. But other than that I have nothing to suggest, which basically means I think you've done a really good job with this. :)

Also, I'd like you to (if you have the time and don't mind, of course ;) ) take a look at my audio page, especially my most recent song, Dark Storms at Sea. (And leave a review if you're feeling generous. =D) No need to, but it would definitely make my day. Thanks. :)

Too much bass? Not at all!

However, I do think it is a little loud in the beginning. I can tell that you've put a lot of effort into this one! It sounds very video-gamish, and I can virtually guarantee that if you get enough publicity this will be one of your most often-used songs in submissions. You did a great job with this song. :) More songs like this are a great idea!

Ah, and while I'm at it, can I suggest you (and maybe anyone else reading this review :P) listening to and maybe reviewing my songs if you've got some spare time on your hands? It would make my day. :)

*loop-de-loop sound* Whee!

This is one of those songs that grows on you - the first time you hear it, you think it's ok, the second time, you think it's genius. :)

You made good choices with your instruments and sounds, in my opinion. What I really like is the "loop-de-loop" sound (I don't know what it's called) that plays two or three times in the song. The drums are great too, and when you've got the melody going with everything behind it, it's nothing short of awesome. The voices add to the song, though towards the end of it it sounds like you're overdoing it. :P

You suffer from a problem of yours here - repetivity. It's great, everwhere, but I think you could make the song "evolve" as you go through. A climax somewhere towards the end would work nicely.

That's about all I have for you. More songs like this are a good idea. Keep making them! :)

Yeah, thanks for the review ill keep all this stuff in mind, it could come in very handy someday, thanks alot Karco :)

Good. :)

Well. First review on Newgrounds. Fun. :P

This song's okay. And that you can make it in 20 minutes amazes me, when I'm just starting and can barely manage several measures in that time. XD And to take care of this in advance, that's why effort got a six - if you can finish a song in 20 minutes, usually it's rushed or could be improved. You could have spent twenty more minutes for something even better. Right? ;)

The biggest downside, in my opinion, is that it's slow and somewhat repetetive. I like faster songs, but I can't choose tempos for you, right? You stick with the same basic thing. You could try stepping it up a bit later in the song. Try raising your tempo, changing your key, making a new melody altogether, or any combination of the three. This would also add some length to your song.

Try not to stick to one thing too often, diversity done right could double a song's popularity, in my opinion. ;)

Finally - how is this a fight for survival? XD Just a thought. Hope I helped.

B34T1N responds:

Well, I've read this carefully and took in as much as i can, you're ideas for this song are interesting, if I'd of noticed some of this before i submitted, yes, it could've been alot better, and, the names for my songs, they're all random :P
