[Harddrive100's First Song]

Well, I can tell it's you're first >_<

I would imagine it would be terribly difficult for a trumpet to play that song. Not impossible but, the trumpeter stuck playing it would want to kill the composer. I don't really play trumpet, but I have picked it up.

You probably need a more interesting solo or more instruments. The rhythm, most of all, needs to be alittle more interesting than just quarter notes and eighth notes (or is it 16th notes and 8th notes, whatever).

I won't bother you though, your other works are much better. You use finale? Which version (I really hope 2005 because we could do some superb collab if you had that). I think that's cool because everything except maybe 3 or 4 of mine is made with Allegro (kinda like Finale's cousin).

and YES!! I finally rated one of yours that Maestro hasn't rated yet!!!!!!

Harddrive100 responds:

Sorry I haven't responded sooner...I didn't expect people would still listen to this piece of [insert profanity here]. lol. As a matter of fact, I play trumpet too! I, having played for 8 years (over half my life, I know realise) can play this. It was hard, though. lol. Very hard.

[Near Infinite Recursion]

What they said.

I say, variations are fun. I love to do them myself. And sometimes, playing the same thing over again, describes life best. Good work man!

I know how difficult variations can get after a while, so I'm pumpin ur effort all the way up.

Harddrive100 responds:

Can't think of much to say, after writing so many responses to reviews pretty similar. Thanks for the review and the high score!

[Eternal War]

It gains in some points, and takes away in others.

Yes I know how making a remix is, it's very difficult to add to one point without taking from another. Some times the more diverse, the less clear. Sometimes the more dynamic, the more that can go wrong. It's real tough! you did ok though, I wouldn't say the first was better, I would only say they are different. Perhaps this could be used in a sequel of the flash that uses your first.

Which reminds me, that it is a good idea for a flash artist to use this type of song to depict war [as a bad thing]. A true visionary can make one of the best flash in the world with this. And I truely believe it.

Harddrive100 responds:

Wow. You're not the first one to mention how my songs can be used in a flash. Although it's nice if people do use my songs, that's not why I'm uploading. I'm uploading, so I can become a better composer through other people's advice. Thanks for the high rating. I know this takes away from some points of the original. If I had the chance again, I probably wouldn't have uploaded this one.

[(Harddrive100) War]

Wow Maestro

He basicly said enough reviews for ten people, and thus I have nothing more to say than, keep up the good work, you got talent. Ya just need to polish it now. Your stuff is the most original I have ever heard. And they appear to take alot of time and effort to make. You inspire me, from now on, I put nothing but one hundred percent into my songs!

Harddrive100 responds:

Wow! I inspire people! That's new! Normally, I demoralize people! lol. I know MaestroSorrow steals everyone's ideas for reviews...don't worry about it. lol. (it's all in fun, maestro :D). Thanks for the high rating and the kind words. I look forward to reading your reviews in the future.

["The Lottery"]

This was great

You know, I saw a low rating and didn't want to check it out but I'm glad I did because it is much better than the ratings say. What program do you use to make this. I think the only reason why people didn't rate this high is because it didn't have the smooth sounding sound fonts that everyone else cares so much about. But that's like caring about the graphics and not about the gameplay.

You must tell me how you do this, and what program you use. Please go to my profile and message me, or you could just write to [e-mail]

This song tells a story, it would actualy make a great intro to a game or a movie!

Harddrive100 responds:

Thanks a lot for the high rating. I used Finale PrintMusic for this. I'm getting into FL Studios now, and I'm very excited about that. How I did this? I'm not quite sure what you mean by that....I just....did it. lol.

[-_- Alyk Trance Attempt-_-]

That's What's Hot.

This is one of my favorites, it's pretty good for an "attempt". Ok, I'm going to go dance now, later!

Oh one thing though, and I kinda hate saying this cuz I do it too, but when u mixed them all at the end, kinda got out of hand.

Mynewaccountis-OCON responds:

Damn this is old lol

[my remix of my first song]

I liked the original better.

Since you really just played the same thing higher and lower that didn't tkae too much originality. T'was more diverse though. Became less clear with that background noise...actually that was sorta annoying to me, but some people might like it. Again, didn't seem to take that much effort...could be wrong.

Mynewaccountis-OCON responds:

Nope man, this "remix" sucks lol if it can even be called one. thanks for reviewing anyway man ^^

[1st song you guys ^^]

Sounds like first song ever.

Ya, you know...it has that... that "i'm new" feeling to it. It's sorta lacking in melody, well not lacking but you seem to be just putting in randomn notes. Drums are hot though. Melody made my ears bleed, drums made me dance. And though this is ur first, and I know for a fact you have now made many better, I'm still going to give advice. The beggining few notes weren't bad, if you can't come up with alot of good melody, just repeat a small very very good melody and people won't say "boo, you can't think of nothing better", they'll say, "Yay, an encore!" Then right before the repeat happens so much that it starts to get boring, add a little variation. Now you got their attention again, then, change directions on em. Boom! A completely different melody, and they didn't see it coming, they're going "Wooooah!" It's like a roller coaster ride, now ya have to make the newer melody better than the first, that's the hard part. Them drums, keep em steady, they can even doo the same thing and repeat the whole time or add variation, the drums only need to make em dance if the melody is taking them on a ride. Then ya take em back home with the melody u started off with. You know about tonic? That's usually the note u start on and the one you end on, like a loop, or a roller coaster ride, it ends where it begins...but not always ;)

Mynewaccountis-OCON responds:

This song sucks a lot more after u point all that stuff out lol, very very good advice though man, this was my first EVER song i made, i didnt know half of what i was doing though man :-\

[**Euro-Rave**]

Another good one.

All your stuff seem to make really good video game music. Prolly cuz it's trance feeling...or is it techno...I realy can't tell the difference all too well.

I think my buddy might like this, cuz it sounds like something he'd dance to on DDR. I'm-a try to get him on this site.

Mynewaccountis-OCON responds:

Thanks man ^^ glad u liked it, and im happy about all the reviews too! i dunno about the whole video game thing though, i never really tried to make a video game song so... yea ^^

Thanks for your review!
