[Edge of Night (All Shall Fade)]

Congrats on the front page, Jordi! It's definitely well deserved. This is great stuff!

etherealwinds responds:

Aw thanks!! Good to see you around Logan :)

[I couldn't remember my name, I couldn't remember my life, all I knew was that I was gone forever.]

Oh wow, I finally finished it. That was a long and interesting song! I didn't much care for the noisy part at 13:00-14:12, but I don't think it really does any disservice to the rest of the song. You do an excellent job at making ambient music! I wish I could do this kind of techno ambience.

Keep up the good work! Are you going to be composing anything for Pixel Day?

Cacola responds:

Thanks! The noise section is definitely something you need to have an acquired taste for, but I felt the song needed a section that was just kinda formless and hazy, if that makes since.

Electronic ambient stuff is a lot of fun to make! It takes a bit of practice, just like any other genre, but once you get good at it, making it can be even more relaxing then listening to it.

[Fourth Dawn]

Way to start off 2016 with a really great track! I'm still trying to figure out what I should make for my first track of 2016. Keep up the great work this year!

[2D Freak (Draft 1)]

Ooh damn, this is banging!

Love that bit at 0:47 :D

TeraVex responds:

Thanks man!

[Blasting through]

Simple instruments, but great melody and structure!

erenik responds:

Thanks! Always thought the same! :D
Would just need to maybe adjust the volume/intensity of some of the notes/occassions, but decent beside that

[Christmas Memories - Music Box]

Never stop being amazing.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

I say the same to you :D

[It's Snowing]

Beautiful! I really like it :) Keep up the good work!

LawnReality responds:

Thanks! Happy you like it! :)

[Classical Style Waltz]

Again, too quiet. Cranking the volume down doesn't give the song a sense of calm and controlled. For that, you need to tweak the velocities of each note.

The melody and structure on this one are worse than the last one. Notes seem scatterbrained and meaningless. Whatever kind of sensation you were attempting to inspire into the listener is lost on me, and I think lost on many others.

Keep improving!

NiborBobbin responds:

This is an interesting review but there are some notes that you have made which are unusual.

Firstly, too quite? I think you may have either controls on your computer/browser that are affecting the output. This song plays well on multiple speakers and headphones so too quite is a very poor reason to review a song poorly.

Secondly the melody and structure are scatterbrained and meaningless? I have tried uploading an improved version of this song with no success. But going back, this music uses the same style as mozart and bach so unless they too are meaningless then you have no ability to understand how music like this is composed.

I will keep improving my own compositions but you too need to improve your ability to review a piece of music. Just because I give a low rating for others work does not mean that you should feel obliged to put my own work down unless you have some real tangible points.

[Classic Style War]

The song is too quiet and distant, which ruins everything. The melody is fairly decent. Sounds like the background music to an old warcraft game, only with crappy midi instruments.

Keep trying to improve!

NiborBobbin responds:

This song is too quiet and distant. Well as stated before you clearly have either hearing issues or your sound system is faulty.

Secondly, MIDI instruments? These instruments are apart of an orchestra VST who's samples are taken from actual instruments. This clearly shows that you have no idea what you are talking about.

A helpful review would be such as "the french horns where out of place and should be replaced with bassons" or "I think an up/down bow would be better for the bass". Your review is vague at most and unhelpful.

Just because I review other projects with great critism does not mean that you can respond in an unfair manner. But this is all up to point of view and interpritation.
