My initial thoughts...

Were that this was going to be pretty awful to be honest. That first synth coming in at the beginning was a tad bit annoying, but with the bass coming in I could see the direction of where this was heading. While this may be a simple song, it definitely generates a tone and good structure of energy. I didn't like the snare on the drums however, sounded more like an old man coughing. The mixing overall is good. So, good work.

Sounds like a tune I'd hear in an old silent film

Very catchy work on the piano. The melodic lines are really nice and I like how the bass hand and treble hand mesh sounds so nicely. It's a little quiet on its own though so I could almost imagine something else playing along in the background, though as a simple piano tune it's definitely fine alone.

Definitely could see this in a video game mix.

Loving how subtle this track is. Not a big fan of the sounds you're using, but they sound pretty good together and if anything it may add to the sound you were trying to accomplish with this piece.

That's great, thanks for the insight, well appreciated.

Ok.

I'm not seeing enough variation in here and it seems like the track needs to be EQ'd. One thing I noticed as well was the lack of connection between parts, it doesn't flow as well maybe as it should. Also some of the notes sound out of key at times and create a bit of dissonance. It makes things rather hard to listen to.

Overall, work on the flow of the song, eq it's warmer and not so muffled sounding, and try to find some different drum samples.. Maybe try connecting the different parts a little better and thinking them out a little more.

Repetive

I like the tune, but it's mostly repetitive. It's relaxing and the guitars are well mixed, but I think more could have been added to this. Just seems like lost potential to me. Not much more I can say past the repetitive aspect..

Has the mood there..

It generates that dark mood you were aiming for, but there's something about the sounds that don't mesh well for me. In some ways it sounds like an exploit of noises. I can hear what you were going for, but that may clicking track isn't a good choice to be holding the leads. I like the pads, they allow for a mysterious feeling, and I do like what effects you used. I think the song may be more energetic with a more innovative percussive beat a well, not to say go and over complicate things. It doesn't loop fantastically either, so that's one thing to watch or as well.

I'd also recommend going back and messing with the EQ, the mixing sounds like it could definitely be done better.

Overall, you've got the mood set by the notes, but I think you need to work on diversifying the sound of the track. It does sound a bit cliche, but there's definitely something there. Hope I've helped you out. :)

Change it up.

Overall I'd have to say this piece is boring and tiring. I can somewhat relate to the production of this song because I made similar songs when I first began writing music. The biggest problem is that there is no diversity within the piece and that there is no change in there. You don't necessarily need a defined melody, but you should work on picking a variety of instruments and making more diverse sounding parts, which would in turn add greater quality and make the piece entertaining for listeners. One thing that could help is changng up the drum beats more. If you're not good with them, that's fine, changing doesn't mean over complicating them.

I'm not discouraging you from making music. I encourage improvement. If you haven't learned basic music theory, I would strongly recommend it. It's not a necessity in music production, but it does help.

Hope I was able to help. :)

Thanks for the insight! ^_^ I'll try what I can to upgrade this piece!

Very relaxing.

All of the sounds in this piece mesh together quite well actually. he melodies are fun to listen to and I think you picked a nice chord progression for the [iece. It really does fit the title "Through Space".

However, there is one thing for me that caught me off guard. The ending. At 1:16 it sounds like it's starting a new movement. It may be an opening for a key change or to simply change the overall feeling of the song. Almost like a slow-motion drift through space there.

Keep up the great work!

Havegum responds:

Thank you very much for responding!
I myself felt like the drums could have been less changed throughout the song, but i just migth be wrong :P

I AM SO HAPPY!!
The fact that you actually took the time to give me such a great feedback!

Thank you, LigthKeeper, for reviewing my song!

Too quiet

One thing I can say is that this tune is way too quiet. I had to turn my speakers up way high to hear anything. I'm not exactly sure what your aim was on this track either. The strings follow the MK progression, but they're also overpowering and leave it almost impossible to hear any melody, so in the process of increasing the volume to this track keep that in mind. I can't really hear the vocals that well, so I'm not sure if they speak of things from the MK series or not. I did happen tp like the "Test Your Might" just before everything else comes back in.

Hope this helps. :)

While I probably won't edit this track anymore I'll take your comments (And the others also)
into consideration and make my next one louder.
