Pretty good...
I've got nothing against it except for the fact that it really wasn't complete without some intense drum action. Your melodies and stuff were really complicated, but your drums were too generic. Keep working on it, you've really got talent with melodies and stuff. Just work on that percussion!

Yeah. thats true. Thx
Arrg!
Good song, but the only problem I've got is the quality of those drums. Ah! Whatever sound you used, it really hurt to listen to, and it really wasn't that musical.
For a first song though, it was alright. Keep working at it, you'll get somewhere : )
Normally it would be better if i could submit it with for eg 128 Kbit/s but thats against the rules
Nice job!
This is cra-za-zy! Especially with the turntable sweetness, this is tight! The drum samples match the old-sckool style there, and the melody is really nice too, but maybe one part with a strong bass part would really liven things up.
Besides that, you're intro seemed slightly baren, in the way that you didn't have a dynamic drum build up. That would have been nice. But otherwise, this was a crazy song!
Good job, keep up the nice work!
-SuperDrummer146
Hmm...
It's not a bad song, but it is worse than your other productions. The song really lacks a good melody, either that, or it takes a little research to find it. Also, it seemed like a drum loop with effects rather than a song, but it was alright. Me liketh your other stuff though, it's crazy!
-SuperDrummer146
Hmm...
Pretty cool, but you need to make a full edition of this song, it's really short, and really not meant to be a loop. I mean, everything about it is alright, it may be to your advantage to add a heavier bass part, but otherwise, it's great!
-Good job though, it's very enjoyable!
-SuperDrummer146
P.S.-Check out some of my stuff (though it isn't the greatest : P
Ill check it out i guess later, yeah i know ill make a full version :o
Um...
I think this would be more industrial than techno, like industrial-rave, ya know? Anyways, this was a pretty cool song that could make one think of machines partying on. It's really awesome with the percussion section, and the melody is slightly cool too, but it sounds more like the percussion, so it was kinda hard to pick out, but sweet nonetheless.
Wish I could say more, but I really don't have much to say, it's one of those days.
Good job, and push your boundries in ways never know before!

Arg!!!
Take to the seas, we shall! This song revolves around the idea that pirates should be adventure seekers, always taking the high seas with intensity, and tranquility when needed. The wind blows into your face, the smell of danger and excitment are everywhere, but it seems as though it can't be remembered for a while. Extension of the song in its entirety is needed. Though this is meant as a loop right now, it really needs to be a complete adventure, not the same one being used, over and over.
Much of the song spends its focus on a steady, colonial, pirate related theme with a great half-time feeling drum beat that switches to the designated time to complete what the song has. Intense string action helps to show some creative working with the enthusiastic drum beat and the high vocal sounds incorporated into the song.
If you ever plan to make this a full song, dynamics will be key to your sucess, along with cresendos and decresendos as well. To keep a good pirate song, there must be the feeling that anything could happen at the next stage of the game, every second can't be guaranteed. This is present, but however, is slightly lacking due to an empty space where some more dynamics could be used. They are there, but it isn't as dynamic as it could be.
All of the instruments groove nicely with each other, as they also work together, and intertwine to give the song a really fun sense to it.
Overall, this is not a bad song, but it needs great expansion to cover all seven seas to the fullest. Great job, hope to see more music with Reason!

Yar, I know all of these things already. But, since im new to reas, lets just say that... I don't quite know how to do these things yet.
Thanks for the well thought out review, but all I need is practice right now... thats it.
Alright...
An interesting theory you've got here. What if aliens did have a rock band? Well, first of all, it would be under general rock instead of Drum and Bass. Second, it would be more intense, and third, it would have more instrumentation.
The main melody is very pleasing, and it's also a nifty tune. Mix that with some horrible drum sounds, and no current variation and no other instruments, and you have a tune that will catch somebodies attention, then have their attention decrease, little by little. The drum sound you have is good for the beginning and the guitar you have for the beginning are nice, but they need to eventually transfer into a hard rock guitar, something intense. It can't sound like a banjo on the guitar the whole time (but if you mixed it with some hardcore guitar it might be nicer). And the drums need to sound real after a while, that continuation is suicidal to the effect that you'd want you're song to have.
Think about it. Would you want to hear a song that seems the same the whole time, or would you rather it have some other spices, chill and thrills, and other spectacular showing in it? What you've got is a good, solid piece that repeats itself. It's like the song doesn't know what else is out there to offer for itself. It can only say what it knows, it doesn't have imagination, and can only be factual. Try puting some other wacky instruments in there. It would be a nice change from just guitar and drums.
Really, this song has lots of potential, and I can see what you can do with it. I could imagine the beginning part just as an intro, and then some hardcore playing this like it should, and all the aliens using the "rock-on" sign, seriously, this could be awesome. Just keep working at it, find programs that offer some great drums sounds, mettle with counter-melodies, and bass parts, and you'll be on you're way!
-SuperDrummer146
I am very thankful for your review. Yeah I dont have a program... I used my petal which had a synth and a metronome drum beat. So I couldnt really change much. I really do wish I had some program. But for now at this moment... My music can only go so far. But thank you for your help. I will look into what I can do :-D. Thanks
Touching...
Wow, a really powerfull piece here. The title only speaks four words, but the song itself tells a story. I love when music has feeling and depth this powerful, and I see it more and more often. This piece takes me to a farway land during the middle ages, where the king has died a terrible death, of a sickness or the sort. No one knows he is dead until his servant visits him at the regular time in the morning to care for him, only to realize that the king is dead. The news is spread fast, and everyone from miles and miles away comes to lement over the death of such a noble, fair, just, and overall, just a great king. "When you're gone, we'll take care of you," call out the people with their beautiful voices, not realizing that they should have been kinder to such a great person, since they've never done anything of the such. The drum signifies a change of scene, flashing to the funeral. Everyone is gathered around him, crying, moaning, wanting him back as he is buried inside the royal tomb. They promise not to forget him in one last voice to him. They promise not to leave him behind, but they lie and decieve, because the last drum hit signifies the end of the moment, no one returning until the next time a burial occurs for the royal people.
Wow, I got bored, but this is a great piece. Though short in length, it speaks a lot of moods, emotions, and more. With a Lord of the Rings feel, this really captures me, and interests me beyond anything. It really did make me feel sad, I was trying not to cry. You're song, whether you know it or not, has a great impact. It's so beautiful, the flute, followed by the strings, is just genius. I love it.
May it be possible that you turn the flute up when the string come in just a little? It's slightly drowned out, but still audible. Still pretty though, I love how the different flute parts overlap each other. It's great to hear.
The melody and bass parts mixed well with each other. It's like they're supposed to be there, and it can't be any other way. If they were separated, they would do everything they could to get back to each other. They're so incorporated into each other.
It would be nice if you were to either make this piece longer or make more pieces like this. A real flute does this song justice (hats off to your girlfriend). Without the real flute, this song would be mediocre, but with the flute, I try not to overwhelm myself with all of the feeling it creates.
I don't know how you do it, this is so heartbreaking. However short this piece is, I got really wrapped up with it. There really is not room for trying to tear this piece apart, it's special in a way that is describable, but takes many words to complete a whole description of the song. Tell about how the servant felt, and you only know his point of view. Or maybe his wife, if it was her point of view, it would be slightly different. And for someone far away, it may be a completely different story. But this song takes the scene in which the story takes place, and literally puts you in the story. Every detail is described to the fullest, nothing is left out.
Words cannot describe the true greatness of this song. Outstanding job, please do more of these.
-SuperDrummer146
Not good.
Alright, the only problems you've got are the lack of instumentation and a VERY repetitive song.
-It's a good song. It's got a nice melody, nice bass line, etc. But there really aren't many instruments. Just melody, bass, and drums. The melody and bass vary very little from what starts at the beginning, making it seem like you're repeating the intro over, and over, and over, and...o-ver...
-The drums vary very little as well. They sound alright, but there's no complexity to it, no depth, and no variety of drums from around the drum kit. Only two instruments are every used at a time with the drum part. I could understand that in techno or trance just a little better, but drum and bass has to build up to something, like 16th note high hat with the drum beat, different fills.
-You've got to have more structure to the song. Add some other groves, like a chorus, verse system, but better. It works a lot better than just using the same stuff repetetively.
-Not bad, but not good either. Music theory is a nice thing, start learning it.
-I don't mean to sound mean, if I do, I apologize, but if you're going to get any better, you're gonna have to work hard for it. You can be good, or you can be phenomenal, your choice.
-Good luck on future productions : )
