[All I am is me]

I love songs like this. Simple and clean and the lyrics has meaning unlike those songs out there right now which have lyrics so rubbish and lines are quite repetitive. >,< Hey, can you do a second voice (I'm not quite sure if that's the correct term)? I think it would be more dramatic if there is a second voice on the last chorus perhaps? Well, that's just my opinion... Overall, Good job! (so don't hate your voice, okay?) :3

Jacob responds:

Good idea! I had thought it would sound best if it was simple, but some harmony would do it some good.
I'll add that this evening!

[The Spelling Bee]

I believe the script isn't crap but it does make me feel... Awkward.. Hahaha! This is the WORST thing you've ever done?! Ok, you're making me hate you! The voices are distinct, with the exception on Patrick and Johnny though. They seemed to sound very similar except that Johnny has a bit of a certain accent. For some reason, Emma reminds me of SpongeBob. I really like Ricky Jackson's voice, it justifies its role perfectly. Yeah, perhaps it would be better that the background music is a bit louder and the script longer but, what the hell... It is still pretty good. Thumbs up!

Jacob responds:

Yeah, the issue with Patrick and Johnny is that they're both young boys at a spelling bee - so you can't really make them too different.
But I did what I could. If you heard them back to back it would be easy to tell them apart, so that's good enough for me! Haha

Thanks for the review. <3

[Inspired - Update 2]

I'm not a professional musician but I love to hear classical music pieces. Hmm.. Let's see...

My Impression
1st Listen - It was created for a horror scene though the melody doesn't fit the genre anymore later on
2nd to 5th listen - The scene was in a windy or stormy scenario or perhaps at a sea side?

The thing is, I'm not quite sure what story you are trying to tell here. The drums are good but the windy effects (I don't know what the instruments are) don't quite ride on with your melody; the melody (for me, that is) is either inducing you to reminsce or to be inspired but your said effects sound a little bit menacing. Unless you would tell me what's the story behind it and I might understand the use of such effects...

sacaro responds:

This is an unfinished piece, so the background noise is just some random noises for now. The overall story is something along the lines of the first spring rains, slowly trickling and then building to a storm... At least, thats what im planning for it, so far... Thanks for the review!

[Inspired - Update 1]

What?! Seriously? You better finish this, man! I'm dying to hear the rest of this very well played musical piece. It's like watching a love story which gets to the climax then, out of nowhere, a black out hits.. O,o

sacaro responds:

Of course I will! But in the meantime, turn on looping, it makes it almost feel finished!

[Approaching Macanida]

Hmm... The ending didn't sound much of an ending. Hehe... Maybe you can add a tubular bell on the end... :3

NordicHazard responds:

hmm yeah, i will fix it when i have time for it XD thanks for your advice!

[Fjaellpolska [RAC7]]

I feel goosebumps on this one. It can be used in computer games with the theme such as of TESV: Skyrim. All instruments sound so realistic, from the fading in of instruments to changing of notes. I hope you'll bag the 1st prize for the competition since your musical piece is one of a kind.

descara responds:

Thanks for the encouragement! Worked a fair bit on the programming, especially on the solo violin. Glad to hear it payed off!

[Invention of Man]

I'm not a one hell of a musician but I can tell that the harmony of notes surely is "harmonious"; each note of each instrument compliments each other. I just noticed that the viola (I'm not sure if it's the viola or violin) sounds discontinuous, like the strings starts to have a louder volume with certain oscillation when prolonged then,when changing to a new note, the volume and the oscillation cuts off abruptly. Speaking of abrupt, the ending was too sudden; it would be better if the end part fades...

Hence:
5 stars - 1/2 star (discontinuous strings) - 1/2 star (sudden ending) = 4 stars

Centrist responds:

Meh, can't be perfect when you can't play the instrument yourself. I suppose though I should have faded then end. :P But thank you for the review, really. It's nice to see something more than "good job".
