That green drum… 
The songs melody is great, but the drums make it sound so corny.
@StarWars:
Sorry for freaking out earlier.
@SandalMan:
That was pretty good, I liked how you were able to go from 4/4 to 3/4, most songs don’t have that. The sound itself was good, it had a nice simple beat, and, as starwars said, nice and humble.
In fact, I agree totally with StarWars. I’ll even rate it a 4. My score is the same as his, I think, 3.7.
I would really appreciate it if you could criticise it measure for measure, so i can improve it the most, but i just need constructive criticism.
I’m sorry, but…
If you don’t want to be helpful, i’ll just go to another site then.
If you do not want to follow the rules then go to another site. this thread is dedicated to giving and receiving criticism. If no one gave any what is the point?
This is just a strict thread. Post your song in any other thread and it’ll be looked at.
Well seeing as I criticized the last 3 songs that apply for criticism, I always wanted to know what people thought of this song
Solo I expect to be criticized the most.
T.W.D:
It sounded great, but the same chorus went on over and over and over again.
The bass line also did not stand out much becuase it was too quiet. Or maybe the guitar is too loud. Or maybe both.
Identity zero:
I’ve already criticized it at the top.
EDIT: I guess I didn’t listen to it all the last time… It gets a lot better somewhere in the middle (probably after that green drum disappears). My rating goes up on it.
Creation of a Titan:
I thought it was great up until sheet 0, where it turned into " very good" (somewhere between good and great). Way to much dissonance. Then again, it is metal…
Anyways, the part at sheet 21 needed a transition of some sort. It is so different from the part before, and not a single note suggested the change.
My song:
T.W.D (7.2/10)
The Chorus is done too many times.
With the solo, you could have at least changed the metal guitar part. It was annoying to hear that part during the solo.
The Solo itself was the same with the chorus; it could have easily fit into the actual chorus.
The Metal Guitar was too loud, and near the entrance of it (the F#, F#, F) the bass was in D#, D#, D, which made the guitar sound off.\
Digital Flying (7.8/10)
The Drums came in, then went away right off the bat.
Overall, it sounded like the beginning over and over again. Nothing really changed. (It’s like my Stairway To Cowbell song’s format)
The Very low bass drum near the beginning was too loud. It cut out the synth.
I could not hear any bass part: I saw it, but could not hear it. Perhaps its too low or quiet?
Also, back to the drums. Was it a drum roll? Was it a beat? Neither sounded like it. It was more like something else, but it didn’t fit.
Identity Zero (6.9/10)
The Chorus did not fit in the beginning at all. (It fit the end though)
Transitions into Sheet 3 were not to my liking. (Going from 4/4 to 3/4 was great, but from 3/4 back to 4/4 was a challenge, and it didn’t fit.)
For some reason, I felt like extra measures were added to the chorus. Usually I go with a number of measures divisible by 8 (in 3/4, by 6). It felt like 12.
The ending was a short eighth note. Since most of your song sounded smooth, and short note really just came out of nowhere.
Sheet 9 was my favorite, but sadly Sheet 3 was my least favorite.
Now, my newest creation:
Criticism is welcome. Don’t hold back.
It took me a while to figure out you wee talking about the drum solo.
So, yeah, it was a drum solo…
What should I have done to make a transition into it?
Truly, I could only say one way mainly.
Get a drum beat into the song.
I really have no idea how else you can.
The Storm: my first impression of this song was that it was going to be a layering song with breaks in it. But after hearing the song I realized its more layed out like a rock song (although there are a few layering parts) with sheet 1 being like a chorus and everything around it being an intro, a verse, a break, or a solo. This was very odd for me because there aren’t very many rock or pop instruments used in the song, but that is nothing I will take in to count. It is quite slow and at 4:00+ its extremely long. Being so slow and so long and having this rock like structure it is very hard to keep the song from becoming repetitive. And that was the problem, especially with sheet 1, it is extremely repetitive even with the variations of the background (synth #1, and the nice’s). sheet 2-5, 8-17, and 19 were very good and reduced the repetitiveness a lot, but weren’t enough. As far as I know there were no misplaced notes. Sound quality is fine. There are some dynamics used but not enough crescendos or decrescendos. Overall its a 7.95/10 or 3.98/5.
Digital Flying: It is mostly just the same melody over and over again (I love that melody though [especially the xylophone]) and TheFinalBoss is right the bass drum is to loud and cutting out the synth and its to quiet. I wish you could have added some cymbals to make the song feel lighter and put more emphasis on the rhythm rather than the coarse harsh bass drum. not gonna count it in the score but I would have liked it more . Pretty repetitive but the breaks do kinda compensate for that but not enough. the solo’s were fine by me. I also would have liked more dynamics. I think its a 7.5/10 or 3.75/5
T.W.D: theres not much more I can say than its just the same riff over and over. There weren’t very many sheets that fixed that, not even the solo. the metal guitar was loud at parts in the solo making the electric guitar to hard to hear. I don’t know what else to say so ill just give it a 6.8/10 or 3.4/5
O.K now my song

I’ll critisize storm and the song above me when I get back.
Crimson Ion- The introduction was very similar to most songs on this site. Just a layer on, but the wierd part about this song is that the intro takes up about half of this song which definitely is a sign that its too short. As said before I feel the strings are to quiet. I’d give it a 6.7/10 or a 3.35/5
have you gotten back yet?
No… Please leave a message after the beep.
BEEP
ARE YOU BACK YET
I kinda feel awkward posting this song after so long. There are a ton of unfinished problems but I can’t find the motivation to fix any of them, so I’d rather just post this song as a warning, never involve a third person in a collab. Before the song reached this point it had a lot more problems, as the sheet numbering should imply. Either way, I do consider this song to be quite good, and while it does bring back some bad memories, I did at least have fun making the song itself.
If you aren’t following me, this is the song me, Ashleybas10, and ixsetf were working on when i lost it and yelled about my superiority at them. I felt really bad afterwards and even figured out that I had made a mistake, and that my whole argument was invalid. I apologized a ton, and still feel sorry about it. I have no idea why ixsetf decided to bring that back up again after so long. Still, the fault is not his for posting it, but mine for creating it in the first place. And if you are unfamiliar with the original argument and still aren’t following me, consider yourself lucky.
I thought this song was extremely good! Even in its “unfinished state”.
I liked the intro, the bass and violins were catchy. And the tambourines were good! Electric basses sounded a bit funny though. Loved the strats! In sheets 16 and 62, the violin chords (i-v-III-ii) just seemed too basic. Also in the melody (layer 6) using the 3rd and 5th of the triad sounded a bit weak. Also didn’t like the transition to sheet 3, and I expect a bit more before you returned to the intro. But I love the strats. The fender strats were alright, but in sheet 26 I really liked them. By the second time sheet 3 came around, I was thinking it was slightly repetitive. The strats in sheets 27 and 29 were a bit funny, and I was expecting a violin melody because of the sheets 16 and 28. I did kinda like the strats in sheet 30 though. And I liked the strats and violins in sheet 31. Sheets 96-54 sounded overly happy (although it had conflicts in it). Parts of it were good though. I would have expected an “epic chorus” part somewhere at the end. And the ending was terrible, you need a good powerful cadence or something.
