[Twee - Gnngh]

Where'd the rock go?

This is a great song, but I miss the rock part from the other one! This is like a completely different (but still good) song!

tweerock responds:

Orange (the guy who asked me to write this) said he didn't think that the rock part would work in the game he made. So I made this, changing nearly nothing about the sound, being the guy I am :)

Thanks for the comment!

["Final Moments"]

Strings take over

I like how the piano starts out as the melody pattern, but then fades into a background as the strings take over. Definately lengthen this out and expand upon it! Maybe have some horns overpower the strings later on as well. You need percussion, though.

[Twee - Cold Creamassacre]

Rock part was the best

This whole song was good, but it seemed like two songs, not one. The rock song was my favorite by far. Maybe make the cymbols a little quieter, but other than that, the rock part was amazing. The other song was also very good. It set the stage and was good for "okay, here we go. Short scene of you running. Okay, now the controls work, start playing! That was an ice cream cone, dodge! Good job." Then the rock kicked in. Rated 9.7, but not quite a 10

tweerock responds:

I thought about balance for this song, what I did was perhaps not enough, but since you've pointed it out, I'll see to it. As for the two songs at once, I've been told this quite a lot, and I've been experimenting to try and fix this recently. What you've said seems to be spot on, thanks for the review!

[Twee - Short Samples]

Cool

I love when authors post a compilation of their unfinished projects. I should do that sometime. As with most songs of this type, I have to wonder why the author (in this case, you) didn't continue them because they're awesome. Especially the last one.

tweerock responds:

The last one was a remix. I got so tired doing that one, oh lawd.

I dropped the tutorials because I realized I had no way of getting anything taught to anyone. The first was a joke of me writing "groovy chiptune" as a plan for a song.

Thanks for the review!

[Twee - Technaw (downtown)]

Amazing work!

How you get your programs to make these sounds, I have no idea! I should check out the games where your music goes; I have no idea what this was written for. Not much to criticize here. The only reason this is a 9 is that there could have been more. Then again, I almost never give the experts 10s either, and these are the people with super fancy million dollar programs.

tweerock responds:

It's for an unfinished game called BeatDaBeat, and I've heard back from the producers, but I've yet to see a demo :/

Thanks a lot, I always like getting anything around 7-9 as long as there's constructive criticism so I know there's room to improve (there always is).

Also, I've done some research, the equipment of fancy producers should at max be around $50370: software, MIDI keyboards, guitars, big mixing board, computers for recording, drumkits and microphones, not including fees to hire symphonies, bands or studio session instrumentalists :O Crazy stuff.

[Twee - Oppressed Nation]

Definately an improvement

This reminds me of the type of music from TRON: Legacy. Electro-dramatic. Not much worth in suggesting/criticizing things if you're not going to change it, so I'll just say that you did a great job and keep up the good wokr!

[Twee and Evano - Must Rock]

Some strange parts

There were a few instruments that you used that didn't work well, but the rest of this was excellent rock! I couldn't tell when your part ended and his began. Good work! Not absolutely-purely-awesome-amazing-spe ctacularness, but good!

You can see who did what there. (remove the space in the link)

Thanks for the review!

[Twee - Natural Forces]

Guitars and drums good.

Didn't like this as much. It seemed like it was interrupted too many times. There was no transition from guitar to...whatever that was...back to guitar. The piano part was unnecessary. On the other hand, you had so many cool effects with those guitars and awesome drums, I still listened to this song several times! Some of the guitars were changed (I don't know what it's called. Wah-wah? Phaser? Reverb?) so much that they worked more as a base beat, like drums, than they did as guitars!

tweerock responds:

Huh, most people think otherwise, that this song is better, but I can't change opinion. In fact, I even scrapped the other song Oppressed Nation when all the people criticizing told me it wasn't as good as the other.

Effects I used on the guitar were Phaser and Reverb. Thanks for the comment!

[Twee - Mega Boss Rock]

Was this one of the experimental ones?

Yeah, I'm still going through the "experiment" phase. I don't think I'll bother to make a suggestion here because, being an experiment, there's no reason for you to redo it. I'll just move on to your other stuff now. Keep making music, it helps me know what I could one day be capable of!

tweerock responds:

This song is horrible. I don't know how it got 4.14. It's only here for nostalgia and proving how far somebody can travel in such a short (half year) time.

Thanks for the comment!

[Twee - The Ceiling]

Not quite techno

I'm afraid you failed at making techno, but the main melody and drums are stuck in my head! A little boring, and the instruments you chose weren't very effective in thie song, but I'm guessing you made this when you were still learning LMMS and this was the best you had available. Am I right?

tweerock responds:

Yeah, "Never Again", right? hehe

I desperately tried to make the song longer, didn't work. Thanks for the review!
