[{Ceb} My Lifes Work]

This wins for originality

This got a chuckle out of me. Obviously made for entertainment purposes.HUH-EYA! HA-EYA! HEH!

It loops smoothly and nicely.

[The Big Picture {Ceb}]

nice

I am not crazy about the opening - it feels a little disjointed and difficult to follow along with. : ( about the :28 is when the song comes together and it is nice and easy to follow. Lots of nice work on the percussions as always ^___^

Good luck with this one and "the future project" ^__'

[-Glorious morning-]

mmm :)

A very nice opening. Very peaceful. And it is making a nice build. and by 1:20 I am rally enjoying this. Wishing it was a little longer : ( but doesn't subtract from the grade - : )

Lots of fun Ceb. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Your stuff needs to be in a game

I like what you have here. The DnB is plenty variated and keeps the song energized. And I really liked that female vocal (man, I hope its a woman >_< ) you had in there in the beginning. A beautiful voice and a nice nueance to the song. That said, there were some elements my ear wanted to hear that would help make the repetition of the song less grating. At :26 right after the Kick youhave that starts of that meter, I wanted to hear a hat or a snare-line playing on 1/4 beats, fading in very slowly until your DnB kicks off at :53. maybe even stopping the hat/snare-line a little early to make room for the DnB intro you have ....

And it needs a changeup in the pad. I would have liked to have seen the pad notation changed or see the pad take a break and let another synth have some spotlight. But as I understand it, you probably can't modify the project in demo mode. mebe just some things to keep in mind for future projects ...

But look at me, I've done nothing but point out what I'd like to see different and haven't even given light to what I like about this. I love ambient-feeling stuff, so that pad is a lot of fun. No instruments go into the red from what I can hear, so kudos on the EQ work. I really did like that vocal. I'd like to see a song from you that plays much more with the vocals than just an FX that adds to the piece. keep 'em comin!

[Radio Tuned-UnderWater (KingT)]

Very interesting

despite it's simplicity, you have plenty going on here and it's really very good. Tremendously ambient with a subconcious hyperactivity going on. Love the break down in the beginning. very well done. would like to see a little bit more of a melody, I think the Dark Piano with the Reverb2 thrown on it would sound pretty nice floating in and out throughout.

But other than that, really excellent piece. Reminds me of a video game I used to play ... just can't remember which. voted a 9 and a 5. I'll be checking out your other stuff shortly.

My other stuff isn't how this sounds like...They were all regular pieces done by meh, with no work, and no modifications...prepare to be disappointed...
But, thanks for tha Response, Crave!!

[Dedede's Dance Tape]

mhmmm

it's nice and easy to listen to. nothing conflicting with anything else. everything flows together. grats. you gotta fav from me! ty for sharing.

[True Courage (Contemplation)]

MMMMhmmmm. That thar

is good stuff! Love it! Wasn't sure how I liked the lil' guitar solo in the beginning, but later came to appreciate why you made it the way you did. Truely superb!!! Thank you. I feel very honored!

Ritz190 responds:

:D yea! i kinda questioned it myself, but it sounded awesome afterward...the whole song is an accomplishment and i'm glad i found your song! glad you liked it too! :D

[Life of Me]

SHOO!

It opens with a hauntingly somber choir. very well (holy crap, the violin came in, good!) done on the choir. Wow, what can I say w/o expletives to explain my surprise! I am not a quarter in to this song and I've already decided its a 5. I am a sucker for the violin, cello (anything stringed).

You've done a good job at keeping this song variated. It doesn't get boring, nothing is distracting. Could go well in a boss battle. Seriously dude. Do you sit down after 3 hours of playing Perfect World and compose these songs. Your songs sound like a perfect blend of said game's boss tracks and the more melodic, serene world map songs.

If I could think of ONE reccomendation, it would have to be in the 2:12-2:36 section. This bridge of the song repeats later in the song, and the second time it repeats - I like it the way you have it. But I would like to see the first bridge made a little bit more subtle. At the 2:18 part, the notes change in a way to add a feel of tension, I felt that tension would work better saved for later, and the first 6 seconds of the bridge just be repeated 3 times and the tension coming in on the 4th meter. My theory being that if you went about it with my proposed way, that the tension would only be AMPED the second time the bridge section came around! But just my thoughts, I don't claim to be versed in making rock ^___^;

As the song started nearing the end, that violin came back in to grace us with it's story, and added a nice touch! A wonderful song! I hope you enjoy it, b/c a lot of ppl here at NGs (flamers aside) will be!

Ritz190 responds:

i can see where you're getting at and i totally agree! I'm going to improve on this song and i will consider you're critique...and actually i've been working on this off and on for a week. This song is one of my many long term projects that i'm doing..i could see this as a boss battle lol...i tried to add a sort of epic feel to it by adding the violin and cello. i love classical and metal, and this is the result of two loves...thanks man! glad you like the song! i put alot of heart into this and soon more heart when i improve it...THANKS MAN!!!

[Sky Forest]

woah!

I love how this started and jumped right into the techno (tho personally it sounds much morelike trance to me)! That pad is sick! It needs a little EQing, but is still lovely. I'd love to see the full version of this if you don't mind. (I actually think I might wanna take a shot at the tune myself if I ever finish my current projects ^___^;)

Ritz190 responds:

ha! be my guest. your free to do what you want with it. i'll finish it, but after i finish all my other songs. thanks for your review! =D

[If Love was real]

GORGEOUS!

The song starts off on a strong foot, with a lovely, happy, hopeful chord on the piano. And as the song progresses it only gets better. The bongos are a touch that really adds to the feel and quality of the song. Makes me feel like I just started a new chapter in my life and have the universe's edge as my cieling! WOW! it just looped and I didn't even really notice! Love this way too much!

Really quality stuff here. I could hear this in a game or (dare I say it) some *quality* anime. Also sounds like it could be right out of Perfect World ... I am very impressed with this piece my new-friend. Feel free to critique my works as honestly as you want. I'll know it's input from someone who knows what he's doing!

Just a wonderful song. Can't NOT download this. Fav'd, 5'd and 10'd. lemme know when the "final" is up (tho honestly I am loving it even as is).

Ritz190 responds:

lol thanks man. There's alot i added to it while i'm still working on it, but i'm glad you like this. think of it as a book report to a novel that you haven't read yet. i always make songs that have some type of meaning to me, and i'm glad you can see that! thanks for the review man!
