[Pastel Pink Kisses]

nice chill song.
One thing tho
The synth at the background....*sits in the last row* MAKE IT MORE QUIET!
No seriously it's too loud and takes away the harmony in there. It's like that really big fat guy in sitting right in front of you in the cinema. You can't see shit. I can't hear shit (Okay overexaggerating but srsly) and for a nice mellow tune it's just too loud.

Anything else? Nah, not rly. Keep doing what you do. Btw. I'd say it's more a Chillout track than anything else^^

Yeah really man I'm sitting here like immediately put my legs onto my PC relaxing while listening to your tune

[Cupcake [OMFG style]]

Song goes ~ Until 1:40 you did a great job
THAT KEY CHANGE WAS THE WORST MISTAKE EVER
Why?
It sounds awful and totally not fitting. You're trying to make an OMFG-Styled song, for whatever reason but he isn't using Moll in a Dur toned tune AS KEY CHANGE.
Sure you can use some Moll notes in a Dur Melody to make it sound more different but your base melody already was perfect.

Little tip to try out - make a drop the next time instead a key change, keep the melody going, don't make the drop too hard, make it funky and flippy. That's the style of OMFG - funky and flippy, bleeps and bloops, you get the idea?

Now to answer the question "When can I use a Key change like that at all?"
The answer is classical music including orchestra or a single instrument like a piano or smth. Because THERE you can put a key change from Dur to Moll easily to change the mood and it's way more fitting than in a song that should actually sound like some one else's song.

However. Last but not least - please don't brag about how long you took to work for a tune. Everybody starts and when they start they need long but after that they need either even longer or not. Difference is how much effort are you going to put into a track?
Because I sit here now for almost 2 months writing poetry and putting it into a video but I'm sure as hell it'll be fricking good.

16 hours are two work day (8 hours) so for people like me, putting a gigantic effort in what they do, it's honnestly nothing. I just wanna say - it's okay it feels exhausting but don't push yourself or creativity becomes fatality and you create something like you did on 1:40.

There's also a little expert tip - if you THINK you're done, sleep a night over it and take a look at your work. You'll see your work from a perspective of a viewer, not the maker and see what's good/bad in it

[Twitchy Finger]

I honestly don't need to tell you the stuff AllinatorBEATS already told you much more in detail than I ever could.
Only thing from me - sounds original, keep doing what you do and don't stop doing it so you improve and can make some real sick tunes in the future man :)

[Kingdom of Ice]

I like how 'tits' is in the tags xD
Another pretty nice track, only thing at SOME point, I really tried so fricking hard to find it again but I just couldn't find it! >_<
Well at SOME point it sounded pretty weird.
A bit too weird.

But actually that's all I've got to say today, some pretty COOL track mate \m/

DanJohansen responds:

Lmao! Glad you liked it man! I def don't think there's anything weird, I would have noticed XD Rock on man! \m/

[Chaos Realm]

Listen to this while kill enemys in Diablo 3 or Devilian. Or better DOOM and the day is bloody great! Hehehe :D

Another Track in thy halls of epicness!

DanJohansen responds:

Hhaa thx brotha! Dig your reviews man, always appreciate it!

[Africa calls]

Uuuuh an epic song. I love the epic genre.

But it seems you already know everything you need to know. Technically the song is perfect.

Now to my opinion.
It sounded awesome.

Well I have no idea what you do here on NG with such good music like that. Go and prdouce your music for games or stuff. Really man. This is beyond awesome.

Brolf/5 Stars
THIS IS EPIC.

EagleGuard responds:

Haha, thank you very much! I'm always looking for new ways to improve my music, but I'm glad you were willing to give it a perfect score :)

To be honest, I'd love to write music for games, so who knows where my music might end up in the future!

[Phoenix]

Now THIS is something interesting. I don't hear a real Guitar so often here on NG, when it's not from me or from DanJohansen.
And tbh, this song is awesome. I can't say anything bad about it, it sounds like it should sound and there's nothing wrong in it.

I don't know how the community react, cos on NG most of the people listen to electronical music. Anyway, just keep the work going, you're great!

Welcome to the awesome list Bro!

12HarmonicChaos responds:

Thank you so much!!! bass, guitar, synth all real; drums I program myself, usually takes a good couple hours to do, trying to make them a bit more complex lately :D

[Terrox Beat]

The start doesn't sound fitting to the whole song.

I still don't know if it should be a techno song or a creepy song. Or a creepy techno song? It sounds so unclear. Those random noises have no connection at all. They don't even tell a story or something like that.

0:40 or so, there is something in the background that annoys the hell outta me. Something high pitched. Can't tell you what it is, sounds like someone is recording tiny bells ringing and pitched it up like there's no end.

But, this song got potential. Sounds nice actually.

3.5/5 Stars
Keep the work flowin!
