I'm amazed that this hasn't been put into an animation yet, this has a great action-packed feel to it. Though fairly simple and definitely short, this song would be phenomenal in a really fast paced game or cartoon, great job.

A beautiful intro, a brilliantly cool sounding beat, a beautiful melodie.... This song is just beautiful! However, I found that it was fairly lacking in the bass section (this is my lead complaint for many songs on newgrounds... I know it gets old after awhile, but I'm a sucker for bass)... I couldn't hear any noticeable bass sounds. It was fairly empty in that sense. However, I must say that absolutely everything else in this track freakin' rocks! Nice job dude!

Ugh, I always forget the bass. I just have no decent bass synths or instruments for that matter. I'll try to remember that next time :D
Thanks for the review.

WHoaaa, now this is impressive. As this is the first song you've submitted here, I figured that it was gonna suck, but MAN I was proven wrong. Great synth work.. I think I heard a Squeeze effect on the piano that came in at 1:11, nice touch there... There's some great synth work in this one. It has several great melodies and such, I'm loving this man.

Dude, this reminds me of Nine Inch Nails. EVERYTHING is distorted, which would normally be a REALLY crappy touch, but you did this all perfectly. I think of NIN's new song 1,000,000 when I hear the guitar sound. I'd say that this is fairly good. btw, where'd you get those samples? I'm thinking I might remix this song now.

You're already improving. This one is far better than Starburst Paradise. You still need some work though. I actually like the beat for the snare and kick, that was a nifty beat... Ooh, the transition at 1:20 was EXTREMELY rough... I personally think it would've been a bit better without the fadeout and the sudden spazzmode of fruit kicks. This one has a nice orchestral bit to it... I'm convinced that you can compose, this one has some great composition (save the bad transition) for a beginning song. Just keep it up!
btw
Be careful when you use simsynth. It's actually very hard to use a simsynth sound effect and make it sound good.

So, going into the music biz, eh? I apologize if I seem like a jerk when I say this, but you've got a long way to go man. It sounds about average for a first mix... All I've gotta say is PRACTICE. That's the best way to learn how to use FL. Just push buttons and twist knobs to see what they do. Test out every effect, tweak every synth around, and try learning some tricks for making a good layered synth or applying filter sweeps. Just keep on practicing man!
Author's Response:
Yeah, I know this one isn't great, but I didn't spend very long using FL for this one... And I had just figured out how to use patterns, so yeah...

"Though it's simple to you, I'm impressed."
This one is DEFINITELY easy to like - it's got an excellent trancy melody with a lot of arps and gated synths. It's all very well blended, nothing sticks out too much. I particularly like the part around 3:39 (and before that) where the little soft beep and strings sort of trade places to catch the listeners attention. First you focus on the beep's melody, then all of a sudden the focus switches over to the string melody. I thought that was a neat little touch. Again man, nice job!
5/5, 9/10, fav'd, and DL'd.

Yes? Well thats just cool. Im glad you appreciate it man :) I was afraid people might find this a little bit cheap and easy (which it is), and hate it. So positive feedback on this pleases the SkyMarshall. Thanks man:)

It seems to me like you've been getting even better at sound synthesis! While I personally don't think this is your best song, a lot of the synths are VERY nice sounding. Everything is nice and clear (as usual), and a good deal of the synths are fairly soft, which adds to the atmosphere. Excellent job!

I've decided, you're officially great. The mastering that you do in your tracks is amazing, everything always sounds extraordinarily clear. You've inspired me to go and get to working on some new music, man - it's not often that oneself gets inspired by an NG artist. Great job dude!
