You've got some good melodies going here.

However you could have done a bit more to some of your lead instruments. Leaving them as basic square waves seems a bit lazy, even if you're going for a simple sound. The lead you used starting at ~0:48 was quite pleasing, but the one you opened with could have used some work.

Overall the track is lacking in flavor. You've got practically no noticeable effects; reverb, delay, etc. I mean, there are some here and there, but there's quite a lot more you could do.

The track is a bit long for the number of ideas in it and eventually the mix of recycled sounds and lack of surprises causes it to become stale.

Like I said though, the melodies sound promising and the beat is solid. If you could stand to spend quite a bit more time on this track I'm sure you can make it into something really great. It's got potential.

You know what you've done. It's been a journey. Fuck your sensations but I don't want out.

Dude. Fuck. Awesome. The first minute and a half was very reminiscent of Sigur Ros, and the rest was chill like ice. Like a certain land of ice. Iceland, even.

This was exactly what it needed to be. It wasn't perfect, but it damn well did what it had to. I like it.

BrokenDeck responds:

Thanks. It WAS missing a melody after all ^_^

Lol'd @ brokendick tag

The main things you need are variation and stronger kicks. The track gets repetitive fast. For stronger kicks, try sidechaining.

Really though this sounds more like a sketch than a full song. It feels like one or two ideas repeated over two minutes and forty seconds, then looped.

Holy shit. This is fucking neat.

I'd have to get really nitpicky with this if I wanted to give you criticism. Overall, it's just really really good. Very listenable. This track is one of two I've downloaded in the past two years.

Rapid55 responds:

Wow, thanks man! :D Even smallest bits of criticism are welcomed. :] Appreciate the review!

Saw this in the audio advertisements thread.

This is some easy listening, nice job! After trawling through chip sounds all day your piano feels really nice on the ear. Decent playing, not a bad melody, as far as piano pieces go I can't say I have much to complain about. I'm no expert, but take it from a layperson; the song is pretty good.

InfiniteHarmonyMusic responds:

Thank you very much! :)

Digging the melody, nice work on that, but the arpeggiated notes get pretty overbearing and hard to listen to, not to mention repetitive.

Barring that though this is pretty spiffy, I like the mood, and as I said the melody is pretty sharp. With some more variation and some kind of fix for that arp this could be something great.

Putewar responds:

Hmm, thanks for the review! I will look into it, but I won't probably get anything good out of it. Do you have any suggestions how to add variations into the song? I've heard a lot of songs where the same loop go over and over many times, but still gets variation to it. That is one of my main problems when I try to make some songs :P

Aww yeah chiptune, aww yeah MilkyTracker.

I like the peripheral sounds, the blips and stuff on the sides. They could use a little more variation, in my opinion, though.

One major criticism I have is the loudness of the main lead. It overpowers everything else and sort of drowns the rest of the track. Try turning that down a little.

The bassy sound seems a little bit off to me as well. It's possible that I'm just not hearing it right because it's hidden behind the lead, but I have to ask if its sample length is a multiple of the lengths of the rest of your sounds.

Again, regarding the lead, it's not so catchy. I'm no expert on creating catchy melodies myself, so I can't offer you much useful advice in that field.

As a final (pseudo)criticism, the track reads more like a song than a loop because of the silence at the end.

On a positive note, the track sounds upbeat and sunny, as I would expect from the title, so I give you props for achieving a specific feel like that, which isn't always easy to do.

Overall, pretty good. With a tiny bit of polishing I can picture this being an excellent tune.

Wurfel-Waffles responds:

thanks. I should have work more on mastering. These are useful advices. I'm going return to re-mixing the volumes again. Main lead was poorly made with no preparation.

Thank you so much for the comments and advices.

Now THIS is awesome. I wish you'd have made it a loop instead of fading out at the end!

There's nothing about this track that I don't like, other than the lack of looping. Excellent work.

Hi I draw things, and sometimes I draw lots of things that look like they're moving when you look at them one after another really fast. Also music!
