[Teaching My Students]

Oh, a fellow teacher. ^^ Well, I'm a trainee right now, but yeah. Pain in the butt, aren't they, kids?
Well I wish this was how my teaching experience was. Mine is closer to the theme song for The Terminator. Ha!

Bosa responds:

Lol. We need more teachers like you!

[Draesdne Adaas]

This is not a NGADM review... I'm here by choice! lol

Actually I feel that the organ is used perfectly, despite having read opposing reviews from others. All due respect to them, their opinion is as valid as mine. I can really feel the atmosphere of this piece (there I go, on a wild journey into metaphoratopia), I think you did a good job.

Next time you should chain Bosa down until he finishes his share of the work. ;P

samulis responds:

I tried, but Bosa is my superior. That would be betrayal! :(

Thanks for your thoughts. I liked the organ too, but I think it was too irregular for what a lot of people were expecting.

[Divine Prayer [Live]]

Man that's beautiful... <3

samulis responds:

Thanks. :)

[WWUOTBT [8bit]]

It's a cool little piece of music but it really lacks any kind of depth or development. It's a shame because you've done some pretty cool stuff (hence why I follow you on here ;) ).

Calamaistr responds:

wellll the depth is in the details, like i made sure the melody at the 2nd part is as guitarish as possible, added a pretty cool 8bit xylophone in the background etcetc. :)
-cal.

[There's A Time For That]

Wow this is a really charming piece of music, I love the atmos and sounds you used to compliment the music.

ZipZipper responds:

Thanks!

[_.-:| Time Alone |:-._]

Did you ever upload the 2nd part? This was really good. :)

Wolftacular responds:

Second part's one of those songs I start and never finish! I should get back on it sometime, I really liked it.

Hi! I was a replacement judge for NGADM round 1 and this is my review of your track!
I scored mixing and composition/arrangement separately so I'll explain here what score I gave you and why. 8/10 in my scoring scheme is "Great", 10/10 is exceptional. To get 10 the piece needed to go beyond expectations, to have a unique sonic quality and present an original aspect (or several) in terms of composition.
____
Production: 7
Each individual section is well mixed and you have good sounds. A lesson you still need to learn is that mixing isn't just about the broad strokes, it's about the details too. If you want to transition between two completely different things quickly you need to work on the mixing side of this too.
(If we were chatting via PM I would give you an example but I won't link to things I've done in a review).
Composition/arrangement (where valid): 7
Well it certainly is unique. That scored you a lot of bonus points. On the other hand it's a little repetitive and you really need to work on your transitions from a composition perspective too.
Most people struggle with this aspect so don't worry too much on a personal level.
You just need to put more time into constructing the details.

7/10 good work on some aspects, lacking on others. Over all good score though, congrats.

Slug-Salt responds:

Thank you so much for taking the time to listen to my work so carefully. I'll take your criticism into serious consideration for my future work.
