["Tai Chi Orb" RAC5]

10 for good reasons

10 for effort. 10 for dynamics within the soundtrack. 10 for using orchestration to the point of live instrument orchestra realism. Fantastically done piece of music man. Great job!

XayberOptix responds:

Thanks! I am really honored!

[He Walks Everywhere]

Fantastic production

10 and 5 for you man, You gave this piece dynamics, variety, originality and a polished feel that is professional. It's like Album Leaf except actually better!
Big respect

Oggy-cheese responds:

Thanks! Heard a couple of Album Leaf tracks and really liked them so it's nice to be compared to them. I'm definitely the most proud of this song so far, it's my most polished by far as you say. Thanks :)

[xKore - Eden]

Top top badass topness

You are among the gods of the dubstep

[2010 Crazy Ways to DIE!!!]

Epicly Badass! Proper done! Respect for the riffage!

[Ass in an Elevator]

Big respect, this is so original and catchy, those 2 things don't come together often these days. May I remix this lol?

[Spinestep]

[Constant Friction]

Deadmau5 is kick ass

So is this track, Mega kudos dude! I can hear the inspiration coming through, badass mofo!
brings me back to the days of sasha and emerson as well. Can only be good dude!

[WIP.0.6 Alpha]

Really great sound

The singing is pretty spot on and fits great but yeah my fave thing about this is it's melodic progression and also its spaced mix is really pro sounding - like it's been mixed with spacial awareness Something I struggle with is getting a clean mix, Everything I make sounds too busy most of the time hehe so I aspire to create a mix similar to this at some stage. I notice there is no bass line to speak of, yet it still sound awesome! This is unprecedented! Nice upload :3

Maverlyn responds:

*Smiles* Thank you so very much!

this is the song i've put down most effort on even tho it's fairly simple because i had to search for 3 days to find any matching instruments to go with the voice and starting strings.

As usual this is far from finished, but keep the hopes up and you might be in for a treat real soon.

ps. you have some awsome music yourself :D

[Notes in a Bottle]

Original and nice

It's really a very nice melody, and I think it would definitely benefit from use of dynamics, or in other words, softer and louder notes, some more pronounced volume and some less, but that'd be hard without a touch sensitive midi keyboard so I understand the potential issue. Nice idea hope to see it develop more, cheers

demsis responds:

Yeah, It never occurred to me giving it dynamics, I suppose i've never tried it before. And more fluid/inconsistent tempo changes would have done it better. Although I'm not sure if I would bother spending too much time on this one.

Yes, It surely is an interesting melody. Thanks for listening.
