"Has Promise"

submission: The Raving Scientist (INTRO)

date: December 8, 2008

The instruments and overall sound of it is right on, it just needs to be pushed a bit farther to be a good song.

I liked the break at 0:55 and when it picks back up at 1:10 a lot. You do a good job of layering.

IMO, what it needs is a smoother, high pitched synth added as a lead melody.

Score: 10

"Best of your stuff"

submission: Tremble

I really like this one. The more it carried on the more interesting it got, so I was hooked. Instruments were chosen very well, and I sure didn't mind the piano.

Very Professional.

Score: 9

"Epic"

submission: .:=Phoenix Chronicles - Ep2=:.

date: April 19, 2008

The buildup works well, and the repeating high pattern in the background ties it together nicely where it shows up. The pad's texture 'feels' good too ;)

It was a little short for me, being an ambient track and all. Still, I like.

Score: 9

"Mmm"

Dude, go work for Valve. Sounds like the HL ambient style, but different enough to be cool. Keep at it...

Score: 10

"Congrats"

submission: Airborn (Pulstated)

date: July 18, 2007

Its really rare to find trance of this quality on NG. It sounds great for 64kbps, but I would really like to hear it in higher quality.

Everything seems so fine tuned its fun to listen to.

If you have a higher quality version I'd love to have it. Adress is caffeinegfx (at) gmail (dot) com.

"Nice"

submission: TwistFlip Beat2

date: April 29, 2007

IMO this is your best, all the elements blend together seamlessly and the beat carries through well. Keep it up!

Score: 9

"Awesome"

submission: My Mystical Lake

date: March 18, 2007

The melody and how the instruments come together fits extremely well. Definitely one of my fav. ambient tracks here.

Score: 10

"Mad props!"

submission: Vampires dream

date: February 5, 2007

Like another reviewer mentioned, it sounds epic, as well as scary/kick you in the adrenal gland kinda stuff. Very well arranged with lots of variation (quite rare).

Don't listen to many songs like this, which means you must make more! :)

Score: 10

"Sounds pro."

submission: Call_Me

date: January 21, 2007

Great composition! The style is really cool. Doesn't seem like ambient to me, but never the less it deserves 5. I could see this being used if not in a Flash animation, a movie or game.

Score: 8

"Nice."

submission: The Odyssey :: Karco Mix

date: January 13, 2007

What you've done with the song works well, and it fits nicely from beginning to end.

The Good
melody (even though its partly someone elses)
Use of sound effects (like at the beginning)

The not so good
-the typical in your face and all for their own FL style. Many new users do this, as in having all the instruments try to dominate the volume level and pierce your ears ;) You'll have to pull some levels down in the mixer and add effects like reverb to make it nicer to listen to. I can't stress enough that they all have to work together instead of a free-for-all.

Hope that helps. Nice piece overall.
