[Synaptic Plasticity (Cover)]

Amazing!
I really like it. But for the "Constructive Criticism" i think in some parts its too much "mechanical" a little lack of "Feel", i don't know if this make sense in english like it makes in portuguese, but some parts sounds like a computer playing the patterns or a little recorded riff repeated over and over, if that is the case try to record you playing the riffs at least ten times(for exemple), the transitions and the overall "feel" will sound less "machine" and more "man", but it is a really awesome music and very well played/mixed!
Beyond the things i said about the mechanical thing, i gave you the 5 stars because everything could be better, could be refined in some way, and this don't take away the awesomeness of the music :D

MaxPoly responds:

I wound up repeating a lot of things. This is my first time recording anything on guitar. The bass is a vst, since I don't own a bass. If I had a bass, I would record both.

But I'll take your advice on recording the same riff multiple times. I was kind of testing out the waters as far as repetition goes but you've spotted it ;)

[Until The Sun (Original S]

Rare and Absolutly Beatiful!

Melody: The melody is very simple, but it's incredibly contagious
and relaxing, in other words, simply wonderful. (1 / 5) (2 / 10)

Beat: Throughout the song, I could only see a slight mismatch
which in itself is absolutely incredible, it's very hard to keep time
during the music, the gap was something almost imperceptible to my ears,
but you could quickly get back to the time of the song, proof that you
have an awesome inner time, gap only once. Congratulations! (1 / 5) (2 / 10)

Instruments: You play very well, even the guitar being the only instrument
in music it was balanced, it was also very well written, even with my horrible
headphone i could notice the great quality audio and mastering, is clear, clean,
full and bright. Congratulations! (1 / 5) (2 / 10)

Voice: It is rare to see voices like yours around here, I like the fact of
not having to hear another "robot generation voice AUTO-TUNE", just with this
I'd give you a point in that matter, but you get beyond it, your voice is refined
and you still can use it wisely, thus making you a rare singer, many singers
have technique but lack Feeling, but you have both. Congratulations! (1 / 5) (2 / 10)

Letter: This is not an issue that I normally review, since most of the songs that
I listen and review are instrumental. As a deep lover of poetry and all forms of
art, I would praise you for the great lyrics, sentimental, simply, well written and
beautiful, perfectly paced with the music. Congratulations! (1 / 5) (2 / 10)

Final Thoughts: My congratulations! I am really amazed to find a talent in your
level here, most here are amateur musicians who usually has more knowledge about
creating music through synthesizers and VST's and end up losing the roots of
good music and musical skills.

(Actually I'm pretty much one of them, but unlike some of them, I know how to
appreciate good music when it comes to my ears)

Keep up the great job!

Suggestions: You really should try the radio, to popularize your music,
although not as electronic as the songs that are successful with the masses today,
is a beautiful song with a wonderful letter.

Another factor may help you disclose it and popularize it, is the factor of being
relatively simple to play, many people love to play it for those who love,
is awesome to play with friends and things like that.

Add also in the description of you songs a brief story about your inspiration
to create it, what fellings you want to pass, how you felt to create it, if it
was made to someone, place for whom it was made, and things of this kind. It is always
exciting to know what led an artist to inspire and create their work.

Take advantage of this factor, I also would like to ask you permission to play it
for a very special girl to me, if I may, can you pass for me the chords of the music,
saves me a long time, I'm not very good at taking chords by ear. If you Enjoy the idea,
place the tablature on a website along with lyrics, is a great way to popularized it.

Congratulations! (5 / 5) (10/10)

Also, the chords are quite simple, it's simply the same 4 chords the entire song, except the chorus is fingerpicking.
The chords are:
Gm
Bb
F
Eb

The song is in standard tuning.

that's the whole song. (:
I hope you're special girl enjoys it my friend <3

[Elvish Adventure]

Through Magic and Peaceful Forest!

Good! It really shows what you want to express, as in a magic forest, enchanted and the like, I liked the lead, is well mastered and everything.
Seizing the opportunity, I must ask what program you used to create it? The sound was really good.

jkap1 responds:

I use Logic, but I made this one almost three years ago, and so I'm pretty sure all the sounds are just the standard out-of-the-box ones that come with GarageBand.
This is just 4 tracks of midi step programming: a little shaker in the background, the upright bass, the flute, and then some preset sound called 'bondi breath' that I didn't process that much if at all (I thought everything blended together pretty nicely already).

Anyway, thanks for the good rating & nice words. Personally I think I could have mixed/mastered it better, but maybe I'm too hard on myself. I'm glad you liked it!

[CKC - Piana]

I almost have no words

man you really did something extraordinary, I confess that
when I started listening to it I thought of changing music, but when I read the description I decided to wait until the end of the song and was really impressed, I am a complete novice in this area, but I could not help it honors the good work.
10/10
5 / 5

CKC2009 responds:

thank you and yes too many idiots sum up songs in first few seconds..

[Solar Wind]

Incredible!

I like the Asian Touch at 2:10, man nice piece of work!
Seriously, I was not expecting to hear that "asian touch" in the song, it fits perfectly in the song. Where did you learn these things, learn for yourself?
5/5
10/10

Pocketpod responds:

Well I played piano and now I play guitar. I also have to learn some theory, but all the house and DnB skill is just experience.

Thanks for your review dude^^

[[JLB] As Autumn Comes Around]

Incredible! Epic!

Dude! Absolutely Epic! I'm new to this stuff like Songwriting, but without a doubt, this music and the sounds generated by the program that you used reached an incredible level.

JulezJLB responds:

Appreciate it man. Nothing wrong with Google Translator lol.

[Sea of Honey]

Incrivel! Amazing!

Nossa! Eu realmente gostei da sua musica, é tão relaxante e feliz.
Eu sei que ao ouvir uma musica imaginamos muitas coisas, cenas unicas. Eu gostaria de compartilhar a minha com vocês.
Eu imaginei uma planice interminavel, algumas arvores, o céu azul e com umas poucas nuvens, em cima de uma colina está um velhinho sentado em um banco
olhando para as nuvens...o vento sopra calmamente através da grama que dança graciosamente, ele começa a se lembrar dos bons momentos de sua vida, sua amada...a primeira vez que a viu...ela agora já não se encontra mais ao lado do velhinho.
Então ela aparece e senta ao lado dele trocando olhares cobertos de lagrimas, ternura, amor e saudade. Abraçados eles olham para as nuvens...e lentamente ele fecha seus olhos...agora...eles finalmente estão juntos. O vento continua a soprar na planice até o fim da musica.

Wow! I really liked your music is so relaxing and happy.
I know that listening to a song imagine many things, unique scenes. I'd like to share mine with you.
I imagined an endless plains, some trees, blue skies and few clouds, on top of a hill is an old man sitting on a bench, watching the clouds ... the wind blows quietly through the grass that dances gracefully, it begin to remember the good times of his life, his beloved ... the first time he saw her ... she now is no longer next to the old.
Then she comes and sits beside him exchanging glances covered with tears, tenderness, love and longing. Embraced they look at the clouds ... and he slowly closes his eyes ... now ... they are finally together. The wind continues to blow on the plains until the end of the song.
