[Home Virus]

Sinister...

Sinister is a very good word to describe this. Very accurate indeed.

I happen to think the beginning was a bit slow. I liked the sound of it, though it seemed to me to drag on forever.

~1:00-1:10
Although I didn't appreciate the bit of silence there, the laugh there more than made up for it. I will admit that I got creeped out by that. Very nice!

Afterward, likin' the buildup. The bells add to the dark and sinister atmosphere. I didn't much like the ear piercing from hearing them, though they were a good addition.

Good song.

[Zoil Zocean Own]

Sweet.

Much better than the first. It even has that same Spanish feel from the first. I like it!

Excellent opening riff. You definitely nailed that down. Major improvement!

[Dream Guitar]

Amazing,

As I listen to this I feel as if I really am having a dream. The guitar sound is beautiful. Perfect for the ambient setting.

~0:00-1:35
The beginning was somewhat rather unpleasant for me. As I listened to this I imagined myself in a dark, desolate place. It was a twisted world, with no one in sight. I will not take away for that as that is from my own crazy imagination :P

~1:39
At around this mark the dream begins to brighten up. I have ascended from the dark world into the clouds. There I lay, feeling tranquility.

Overall, it's a good song. Something that would be great to fall asleep to.

[Code Geass Opening]

Okay.

Always loved this theme. Code Geass had some of the best themes in my opinion. I enjoyed listening to this, though there are some flaws.

Tempo. That is the main issue I have with this song. As I'm listening to this you seem to speed up here and slow down there. Some notes are cut off short while others are longer than they should be.

Aside from that, good work. 'tis an okay cover, though with some cleaning up it could be better.

Thank you for the criticism. i didnt realize that untill after i posted it. ive been playing it by ear, and i started practicing it like a week ago. ill fix that and post a new one sometime.

[World of tranquility]

Beautiful.

Now this is beautiful, to say the least. It is very tranquil, very calm. I'm liking the simplicity of this, as well as the piano.

Not a thing I would change about this one. Good work!

GroovyGuga responds:

It's good to know that my best music is a calm music

Thanks for the review anyway.

[World of War]

Good.

Good song, though it doesn't fit the World of War title. The percussion is just too soft in my opinion.

Another complaint is the lack of variety. The percussion is the same throughout without any change, as well as the lead. I prefer something with variety rather than it being repetitive. Mix things up!

It does loop well though. I'm just not getting that "World of War" atmosphere from this.

GroovyGuga responds:

Actually, the original name was "War song", but I thought that was too simple for this music, So when i was posting in NG i changed to World of War.

And about the lack of variety, yes I almost didn't changed the default rhythm, I jst modified and put the drum. I think
if you pay some attention the two world songs looks a little like.

And again, thanks for the review

P.S.: If you want to respond any of my responses, please PM me.

[First Groovy]

Okay.

It's okay for a first song, though you have much to improve on.

Off the bat, I would say work on EQ. It's good to have a song loud, but it's better if a song is loud AND sounds good.

I felt the beginning was too slow. Doesn't get you into the song y'know? In fact, I thought the whole song was just slow and choppy. I would like to hear a song that flows smoothly throughout.

For a first song, it's not all bad.

GroovyGuga responds:

Dude thanks for the review, I will work on that, did you checked out my other songs? Ok, i see you did.

[MvC2-Clock Tower Stage [8-Bit]]

Awesome.

I've always loved the music of Marvel vs Capcom, and listening to this is simply awesome.

Listening to the original, this is very accurate. Though I found the ringing a bit annoying, it actually was in the original as well if you listen well.

If anything, you should have removed the ringing at the end. Aside from that, everything else was fine. Awesome 8-bit mix.

[Mega Man & Bass - Pirate Man]

Good!

Good mix. Lovin' the drums.

I felt that the instrument you used for the melody was too soft. The drums and bass were at a good volume, though that melody just didn't stand out above the other instruments.

~0:35
Beautiful guitar. Excellent sound.

Good mix!

[Arabian March]

Calm.

Something you would expect to hear while trekking across the desert. Love the sound of the guitar. Very good sound quality.

~0:57
While I loved the different guitar parts blending together, that last pitch bend ruined it. Not the best ending in my opinion.

Aside from that, it was nice to listen to.

Doumaaa responds:

Haha yes true, I could've deleted that last part. Most of these things are made just by improvising and when I just play around I don't put too much weight on it.. it was made just for fun in one afternoon. Thanks for the review.
