Man, you included one of my favorite things - acoustic guitar. Great job on the composition and mastering, really enjoyed this piece.

Score: 8

"House for sure :D"

submission: Planet Reloaded

This is a pretty tight mix, although it feels a bit empty on the melody/music side. Try adding in a pad or something to fill it out. Your SFX and over all mix is good though. Nice track.

Score: 7

"Good work!"

Fruity limiter works sometimes, but I'd suggest learning to use a multiband compressor like Maximus or a mastering vst like Ozone 3. They will help you keep the entire song balanced. The kick is not the problem, it is just that entire low end is not compressed and is killing all other sounds in the mid-range. The music is great, however it repeats a bit much. Great mix overall.

Score: 7

"Nice work"

Well done - but bring your master volume down, its clipping to hell.

Score: 10

"Thanks :D"

submission: She Was Dreaming In The Rain

One of my ALL TIME favorites - I've loved this song for years. A good rendition of the original - in my books far superior.

Score: 9

"Thumbs up!"

submission: [CE][Rising Emotions] New Dawn

date: December 16, 2008

Awesome work! The composition is pretty much perfect, emotional and non-boring (its a word right?) Just grab some better drum/intrument samples and this will be amazing.

Score: 8

"Nice job!"

submission: Kazmo & Lira - Still Alive RMX

date: December 14, 2008

Song is great, well mastered. Only complaint is that the vocals are being hidden behind the instruments, I can only pick out a few words at a time. Try "Companding" them a bit, (expanding the dynamic range, then compressing it - in order to get a "louder" over all vocal take, its explained on Wikipedia a bit more, also called Serial compression). The soundscape of the instrumentals is impressive, the reverbs match and the individual channels don't interfer with each other.

Score: 8

"Good work!"

submission: Sparks (Preview)

date: November 27, 2008

You've done a good job - even though its your first, its still really good!
I loved the arps and leads, and the progression was ok.

Just work on your intro a bit more, and maybe try putting a pad in closer to the beginning and you'll be golden

"Pretty good"

submission: Late Night Awakening [SMD]

Hmmm, it felt like the mastering was cluttered on this track. Instruments and channels were colliding with each other, while this gives is a "full" sound it also hurts its clarity and stereo image. As Sycross said, the drums were spread too far from the center of the stereo image, and the reverb that was on them didn't match the rest of the track. If you cleaned up the mastering and fixed the drums I think that this would be an enjoyable song - keep it up!
