[Dancing 4 Joy]

Dancing.

I love piano in the techno, you got a sweet tune here, great job and great beat. 5/5, 10/10.

[{-^MP^-} Funked Up!]

Funk it.

Wow, are all these software instruments? If so, you did a damn good job. Your style is very unique and you always add in some different sounds I never expect. The melodies are nice in this song and I love the funky feel you have. I'm starting to wonder what program you use (you're phenomenal at it)... Anyways nice job here, gonna favorite you.

~SinJim

PS - I'd love to collaborate sometime.

Musical-Pants responds:

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, these are all software instruments I used, but I used my own effects for the distortion and stuff.
The program I'm currently using is Music Maker basic edition by Majix. I was using Audacity before, but found it kinda hard to synch everything up.
And yes, I really would love to do a collab, so PM me any time!

[Man, just CHILL!]

Chill...

Sounds like lounge music, or maybe upbeat elevator music. The guitar is pretty sweet (Did you play it? is it a sample? or did you program it?). The variation on the drums is pretty sweet also and the sax is a nice addition there. The guitar almost sounds mexican but I love how you fit everything in together. I enjoyed this one a lot.

~SinJim

Musical-Pants responds:

Thanks. For this one everything is a sample, so I had to work harder to make it sound authentic; jazz not being a great genre to use a lot of synth in.
The guitar my friend was going to play, but due to time conflicts (school exams) I had to use a sample for that as well.
And thanks for noticing the drums, they're about the only instrument I can play well in real life, so I usually give them a little bit more attention.

[Techno RUMBLE!]

Rumble

This one definitely sounds like it could fit perfectly into a video game. It's a perfect combination of all the instruments and it's done well so that it's not overpowering but it still provides a lot of variation. If it's meant to be a loop, it does loop well but I think you could expand this one if you wanted. If not that's cool too. Sweet work with the synths and I like the wah synth that's at like 40 seconds (I think). Anyways sweet song!

~SinJim

Musical-Pants responds:

Thank you.
My strength doesn't really seem to be creating sounds, but using other peoples sounds to the best effect. Anyway, I kinda feel like I cheated using the wawah twice in my songs, (at the end of funked up) but I guess it's not that noticeable in either song so I'll be ok.

Thanks again

[The Scariest Song Ever!!!]

Nice

Haha, the ending doesn't really fit, it's definitely interesting tho. This sounds like it could be a sick intro to a song and I think you should try and expand it in that sense. When it built up I was expecting some ridiculous drums and a sweet theme and I think you could go for that. Nice work with the ambient sounds there. All in all, it's short and sweet, but I think expanding would do it justice.

~SinJim

Musical-Pants responds:

You know, I never really thought about expanding this particular piece as I only gave it about ten minutes in the first place, but I can really see what you mean. In fact, I already have an idea!
Funny how that works, could be because I just watched The Fugitive.

Thanks SinJim

[Falling from Heaven]

Falling

Great theme here, awesome work with the strings. You captured the ambient feel very well. Loved it, nice work! 5/5, 10/10.

popraz responds:

Thank you !

[Morrowind Title Theme (Re]

Morrowind

Great arrangement here. Piano is excellent and flute fits right in there. Definitely brings back the memories. Great job. If you wanted to make it epic it would be sweet to have a buildup with huge drums and an orchestra swell. Just my take, 5/5, 10/10.

PS - If you play Oblivion it will eat your life...Great game, great music, aka do the theme when you get time haha.

~SinJim

ErikMcClure responds:

I did get oblivion, but it isn't eating my life yet :P Will have to try doing the theme sometime... Thanks!

[Rain Nocturne]

Nocturne

Nice piano work here. The cymbals in the beginning are a bit loud. Loved the beat, but I wanted some strings or a different pad to lay behind the piano. Awesome work here! 5/5, 10,10.

~SinJim

Los-Illuminados responds:

thx alot man, i appreciate it, and it wasnt cymbals (even though it sounds ALOT like it >.>) it was a hit. theres a slight pad behind the piano you can hear, but i think i know which part you're talking about. thx for the 10 man!

[Neon Shadow]

Neon Shadow

Like others have mentioned it's a tad repetitive, but I could see this getting pretty epic with a buildup and the addition of some other sounds near the end. Maybe a reverb-heavy piano and some sick strings. I just think at the end it deserves a buildup. Regardless, I liked it, 5/5, 10/10.

~SinJim

[(nal) Better Off Alone (RMX)]

Better Off Alone

Sweet remix, loved it. I want the vocals in there too tho haha. Favorite part was teh ending. Great job! 5/5, 10/10.
