[Time to Get Serious!]

I like the feeling in this one.

I have no doubt that the reason this is your most popular song is because you put a good amount of feeling in it, and, based on the fact it only took 2 hours, you probably just wrote something off the top of your head, which is a good thing! Now, to make it better, take what you have and add more passionate stuff to it!

Great job, man. You said something about thinking I was great at writing music, and I personally don't like tooting my own horn lol, but if you think I am, then know this: I started out writing crap that is 100x worse that this, haha.

Just keep up writing, and you'll go far.

Xarosas responds:

Sob, truly inspirational

[Whoo Song]

Entertaining!

I might suggest adding some low rumbling harmony, but other than that, this is pretty good for an ambient song! Keep it up!

Xarosas responds:

Allright i'll try to put that into action in my newer songs. Thx for the review.

[Joel Nielsen - Black Mesa Theme (DJ XeMeX Remix)]

The piano is absolutely amazing

I have no clue how you manage to make something awesome with every song you submit, man. Excellent job!

I can't pinpoint a favorite point in this song. The drums are perfect, the piano melody is perfect, the orchestral instruments are perfect, etc. Just nice job all around!

CAK3MAT3 responds:

thx man i sampled the original but it was too short so i had to add mad patterns lol..but thxs man :)

[Rock Dat House]

Pretty good

You'd do a lot better removing the voc in this. The background stuff is fantastic, but the voc gets in the way!

Nice song, though!

[Progression !Omi]

Hey!

I found this because you are currently #1 on Ambient, while I'm right behind.

Very nice song, by the way.

omikron1989 responds:

hehe, thanks man, not sure if I chose the right section

[Lobby-]

Nice lobby music!

This is fantastic lobby music. Your friend should be honored.

I'll make music to help if he wants, too. Let me know. I have songs up right now, also, so just let me know or have him let me know if he wants to use any of them.

As for the song, this is great! I'd rather it be longer, but it's still awesome.

Prodigal responds:

giuhgioh

Contact FlashfireEX, he'll decide whether or not you make it through xD

[_Apprehension_]

I'm genuinely impressed.

I love the structure of this song and the solos are superb.

I was so psyched to hear this, and the organ solo was pretty interesting.

Thanks for your entry! I'll let you know (and everyone else in the contest, haha) when the results are in.

Birdinator99 responds:

Thanks very much for listening!

I don't expect to win XD; CosmicAlfonzo's is way too good!

[You can't run]

YES

I feel like I'm being chased. The bad thing is, it's in a three-legged race. I can't POSSIBLY run.

I love the effects you put in here. I may have to work with it later on. Let me know what melody instruments you used, by the way. There were some insane ones.

RetromanOMG responds:

Well the piano was a soundfont not available to FL, and the stutter that comes in at 46 is just a voice clip that I sliced up.

There are a lot more things that went into play in this song, but I don't really want to list them right now.

[Christmas at the Goldstiens']

I can feel the tension...

...as Mr. Goldstien tears into his stir-fry.

Great. Now I want Chinese food.

Great song too. This is the stir-fry on the buffet of Christmas songs.

RetromanOMG responds:

Lol, you got the joke. Thanks for the review.

[Piano Showdown]

This is great

Haha, I would be inspired to make a contest as well. Well... I guess I did, haha, but this is fantastic.

Awesome!
