[Untitled and need help]

it was okay

the piano sounded a bit sharp and shrill, though. maybe try adding some reverb and increasing the wetness a little bit. The piano melody got a little repetitive as well, but seeing this is a WIP that's okay xD

also, like HG said, don't use the preset drums. try layering the drums a bit to create a unique type of 'feel' to it. you can do this by having two kick samples in one present and increasing the attack of one while lowering the decay and doing the opposite for the other. The kick was a bit overpowering as well, and stood too much out of the mix.

The mix was also lacking a whole ton of lows and middles, and just felt really dry :\ maybe add a left hand part to the piano?or maybe some string pads.. or something.

it's a good start! keep it up! :)
3/5, 6/10

[Dangerous [Champius Remix]]

another piece of production quality! XD

typical Champius awesomeness and style. love it ^^ those bells always get me pumped up.. and your build - ups are just brilliant, though they are usually similar in construct between all of your works. but whatever works, works, right? so no problems with that really. Overall, it was good old production quality generic dance muisc.. I loved it! :) 5/5 10/10

[Reasoner - Harper's Hop]

not your best

it was okay.. and strangely unique like all of your other works.. but it just didn't hit me this time :\ that melody that entranced at 1:00 didn't fit the kind of 'ambience' the rest of the background provided and sounded a bit odd and out of place. I loved the constant switching from minor to major keys, but this song just didn't touch me in a way that so many of your other songs have before.

that being said, it's still a very unique song in feel and personality. definitely a download.. but it gets an 8/10 from me

[The Most Relaxing Song Ever]

that water effect was interesting xD

.. and a bit annoying to be honest. this song just seemed a bit bland and empty to me.. the background melody seemed to be pretty random.. and very monotonous. but I guess droning the listener was part of the intention xD it was good for what it was, but I suppose I just didn't really enjoy it.

[Rellika - Someday]

tearful, inspirational, and powerful.

don't get dissuaded by those ignorant 0-bombers. THIS IS BEAUTIFUL. loved that introduction.. can't wait to hear more of this, this is amazing (and I can't believe it isn't mastered). keep this up! don't drop this, please.

R3LL1K4 responds:

Thank you, you've always been a good fan and I appreciate all your reviews. I do plan on finishing it. Though, what you hear now might be subject to small changes and such. If you have any personal suggestions to the song, feel free to drop me a PM any time, I'd look forward to it. Oh, and as for the mastering, I haven't actually gone in and made sure it was mastered, but I've gotten pretty good at getting things right the first time.

[Instrumental Piece 1]

finally, something worthy of weekly best

great song! I've trying cut down on newgrounds downloads, but I couldn't pass on this one. all instruments sound so crisp. loved that piano break. .. but the song started to get a little repetitive in the end in my opinion. the rest of the song was great, so that little thing doesn't detract from the score. can't wait for instrumental piece 2 :)

another wonder gravey composition, worthy of a 5 rating, 10/10 score, and a download +fav as an artist

Gravey responds:

Thank you much. I'm glad you enjoyed the piece.

[Crying in the rain-Champ remix]

awesome remix!

love that beautiful piano intro in the beginning ^^

the drums are really crisp.. and the whole song is decently mixed

I love the variety in structure and instruments as well.. and I absolutely went crazy over that build-up. heck yes xD

due to the length and file size, I'm guessing you uploaded this version at 128kbps? :P can you please upload a higher version of this song? that'd be so nice.

5/5 10/10 downloaded(?)

Champius responds:

hey sorry for the very late response.....thanks a ton for the review! and for your question sure ill upload it and give you the link in a pm if you want

[Jump Up (Final) [RNG]]

generic trance for the win!

but really.. try to vary the melody or structure of the song from time to time x) hearing the same melody, baseline, and drum beat gets pretty annoying after a while. I know the song is short, but you can't really use that as an excuse for it being repetitive. other than that, it was pretty decent xp good job!

9/10 4/5

[IVoltage - [My Day]]

it was okay.. xD

but try and turn down the volume to avoid clipping and use a compressor to raise the volume back up :)

tons of clipping, which caused all the static problems and stuff.

IVoltage responds:

I suppose you're right yeah, back when i uploaded this song i had no clue about what FL Studio could do for me, all i did was make the song.

Now that i do, i will fix the problems and reupload it!

Thanks for the review Pure!

[Rellika - Caseface]

thank you!

I can't get enough of this... this made my day :D thank you so much.
(I can tell it's not mixed, but it's just so good.. I don't care. xD)
