Typical OpenLight melody writing -- moving, creative and catchy!
I kind of dig your reverb-drenched style that pops up from time to time. Unique!
I love the tone of the bass. It blends really well with everything else.
This one's worth a fav. Good job!
P.S. The drums are fiiiiine don't change 'em.
Haha I'm glad you like it. Of course, this is from 2012 I think, maybe 2011, so my style's unfortunately changed a bit from this. I'm absolutely trying to get back to this style though, but it's more difficult than it should be. Thanks for the review!
This is super; you're getting so much better!
A very relaxing piece! The instrument at 0:20 is very appropriate, and everything has been reverbed very well, especially the snare. Piano solo at 0:57 has some cool licks.
This is easy to zone out to; my kind of song. I think I'll download this one.
There's really not much else to say! You keep a steady course going with that great kick drum, and some slight rhythmic changes with the hi hat and snare. The way you wind the song down slowly is great as well.
Good title too.
Keep it up!
I take it I should make more like this haha. I'm stoked you liked this. I don't think my newer song was all that great in comparison, but hey maybe I'll be surprised lol. Thanks!
Can you tell me what you used for drums? Curious.
I used a few soundfonts for the percussion. The snares, kicks, and toms are from 8rock11e.sf2 and 314_Good_Rocky_Drum.sf2. All the cymbals are from 1-TamaRockSTAR-se3.sf2. You can find these soundfonts freely on the internet. Hope this helps! ;)
This is some solid atmospheric shit, dude. Nice work.
The thing that stands out in all of this is the effective placement of sounds. Reverb, low-pass filters, and of course volume levels are all used well to blend everything together. I love the way the rain swells in and out to keep you listening!
The little girl crying and the glass breaking, especially towards the end, are great choices. You've definitely achieved what you set out to here.
My only beef is the "help" at 0:30 -- it cuts off too quickly, and feels unnatural. Try putting a delay on it, and see if it helps.
I swear I heard Gollum in there somewhere. Maybe?
Thanks a lot man. It's really nice to have a review and it feels good that it's a positive one.
I'm going to try to improve this "help" thing using a delay like you said.
If there is a Gollum sound it's definitly not intentional tho haha.

Mmmm, this is good -- very unique feel to it... Those are some damn good VSTs; what are you using? Thanks for the pitch bends btw
Sweet! I finally made a song good enough to get some great reviews from some of my favorite Audio Portal artists.
I'm not 100% positive what VST pack this is. I'll search my previous messages (I got them from TroisNyx) and send you a message with what I find.
Pleasant melodies, good driving beat. Like the break at 1:40.
Nice uplifting tune you've got here. Some of the cymbals are pretty subdued at times, and I wonder what it would sound like with them turned up a bit. Other than that, nothing that blows my socks off, but a favourite nonetheless.
Awesome! Thanks for the review. I still feel like tweeking the hats, you aren't the first to mention them.
Happy that you made it a favorite!

The 1:43 transition is great -- I love it, don't change it!
The one around 2:43 -- I love the sound of it, but a think it would sound better if you suddenly transitioned to it like with 1:43.
Other than that, I like the chords, melodies, blah, blah, blah...
The hand drum feels pretty out of place, but it has a great rhythm. Up to you, I guess.
Congrats on making it into the second round!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
Sounds pretty good. Some of the cymbal hits are too loud, and there's a solo in there that gets drowned out, I think.
Remember, if you want the best chance at winning, you need to post some links showing your "research" or something, plus promote your track!
hey there! Thanks a lot :D
I didnt exactly get your point, what do you mean by showing research? I did not do any research, I just thought Finland, Sweden, and other European countries, and all i could think was metal... Metal is very prevalent in these countries, so I just made a track and went with it Will it be ok if I publish my REAPER DAW save file?
Improvised the solo and the mixing, but was too lazy to work on the drum hits, that would mean again rendering the drumtrack I made in FL Studio...
Could see this in a Metroid Prime game!
Hmm...music, eh?
