Step 1; Open FLStudio 5/6.
Step 2; Download midi file, insert into FL.
Step 3; With no effort, use one of your illigally downloaded plugins such as Edirol or Garritan.
Soon to be East West.
Step 4; Replace instruments.
Step 5; Add tempo changes
Step 6; Submit.

This is the recipy to become the most pathedic scum at newgrounds.
I only like your one last song you did with your keyboard, even though it was off-tempo and everything. Because there actually was some feckin effort.

And don't give me that "bought" bullshit.
You couldn't make music for shit until SmartPoetic told you how to midi-rip.
and NOONE would buy those VSTi's when they're that damn new to the whole composing thing.

The score is...because I'm bored. (You know I love you) Continue rocking !

"Nice."

submission: DERANGED (Better Quality)

date: June 15, 2006

Ok, BMI---
That was some smooth guitar playing and I'm rather impressed.
The drums was simple, but worked throughout the song just fine.
I'm impressed of your vocal skills---not that many that can actually sing at this website.
However--If you messed up somewhere, I'll say the same to you as with MaestroSorrow.
It was with the equalizing.
I feel that this track should have more bass on that el-guitar.
So it don't sound that thin.

Anyhow--Check out my music if you find the time.
pretty much the same genre as MaestroSorrow does.

"Ok; My first review in ages."

submission: _-=[United Front]=-_

date: June 15, 2006

And only because it's you.

Ok---In the beginning I felt it was lacking depth. And once again.
I feel that your percussion is good.
But overpower too much.
You have great melodic lines going, however;
You once again have not put enough emphasis on the contrabass (if there even is one).
So the track seems too thin throughout the whole thing.

You had alot action in this piece, which I liked.
And great use of the bells.
The choir sounded rather fake---but unless you feel like spending thousands of dollars---I can see why. So dont worry there.

Your clarity is rather bad, due to no equalizing.
Making this track sound rather washed out (Like my previous tracks, before I mastered equalizing.)

You're a great composer Sorrow---But there are still errors that need correction.
I'll admit that I've lost alot of my own melodic feel, but you still have yours.

The way I see it in this track--You had alot great idea's, just not executed well enough.

-Sorry for being harsh, and I hope you'll forgive me :P

"Standard Ambient."

submission: -=LJC=- Peace through OTC's

date: April 10, 2006

Ok, as far as I could hear, this was mostly standard ambience with some new elements that I dont hear too often, like a melody.
Weird enough, This was one of the first ambient pieces where I've heard anything even close to a melody.

Anyways, I think you should turn up the volume of the thing that gives an indicator of the melody just a tad bit.

Though, One of the better ambience pieces I've come across.

"(Blatant praise in Norwegian here)"

submission: Desert Rose

date: January 28, 2006

Ok, First of all.
This is probably the most professional sounding metalsong I've heard on the AP.
The beginning reminds me of Duke nukem, and then over to dragonforce/metalcan XD
Anyways, I cant seem to find anything I'd like to comment in specific, because it was all great.
And no, this is not ONLY to get you into making me a sig. :P
Keep on rocking, or in our primary language.
Fortsett å steine. XD

"I'll try to give in-depth."

submission: Acoustic_Chill

date: January 28, 2006

First off; the reason I'm reviewing your work, is that you are making my sig (You probably was joking about that, But I think you need/deserve it
^-^ )

Ok; The drums gave me a hip-hop feel and I was scared. But when the acoustic guitar came in, Everything was ok and I could go back to my original task of finding errors/good things.
I think you should have given a piano a more or less dominant role, and given it a melody line that could answer the the guitar.

Nice way of filtering some parts of the song, whilst the guitar could play.
I'd love to find alot of errors, but I cant.
Its a damn well composed song you got here.
But I'll blame it on you being older than most people here?

Anyways, For the drums and such, what program did you use?

"Exceptional"

submission: _-=[Aftermath]=-_

date: January 26, 2006

I'm guilty of the crime of not visiting your page until now, So I hope you may forgive me.
Ok, I'll try to be constructive.

This song in itself is very emotional, but the volume isnt tuned correctly (after my opinion).
The percussion and the piano, is correct, but the violin/viola should be a bit louder.
The strings you added had a nice feel to them, and the effects you used at various times fit quite well.

The flute as well, is at a level of too low volume, It all seemed drowned as well, due to a bit mistakes in the equalizing (I recently begun learning equalizing myself).

But this conjures some pretty darn emotional pictures, and would fit in a dark/tragic scene.

"Ok; Half-Indepth Review."

submission: JAG~On the Blip *

date: January 1, 2006

This was overall a nice piece, because of it being halfly-soothing; but I think you could have been a bit more diverse and perhaps added a piano or something like that as the melodic piece.

It got slightly repetive after a while; But it's not that bad really; just that alot of people will dislike that.
It aint the worst Ambient i've heard; but you still some things you would want to learn

So; I guess you use FL after I heard some standard effects? And what samples do you use?
