[Vs. The Forces of Evil (CaC)]

I see this as some pumped-up fire/lava level boss type of theme.
The composition itself is great.
Here are some of the things that need work:

- Didn't dig the 'guitar' sound (I'd even cut some low end on guitar so that the bass can breathe even more) and the whole song is slightly overcompressed.
- I'd work more on drums and transitions overall. I'm sure it would add more energy. Whole set of drums is in the center of the track, even the hi-hats. Try panning them slightly off the center and add maybe more perc to make it more interesting.

Melodies and sounds that occur throughout the song are a really nice touch.

I feel like here's a great track that, that sits behind an average mix.
Id suggest learning more about EQ-ing in general, panning and dynamic range.

Nevertheless I enjoyed your composition, this whole review's for the purpose of getting better and progressing.
I'll repeat once more. Composition's great.
There's a whole lot of people who have the equipment and know how to mix extremely good but have quite poor composing skills. I think that that's far greater 'problem' than not knowing how to make a perfect mix.
Keep it up!

[Alltid Med Dig]

Noice!
Beautiful, emotional and joyful piece.
Didn't expect that ending part with perc. :O
The only thing that was odd was the ending itself.
Love the chords.
I mean, especially that ONE chord. ;D
Simple and effective.
Awesome job.

Thank you for the review! :D

[Viking Village]

Wow!
This cheered me up.
Great folkish tune.
You could do something like this, extend it and add some percussion.
That would be quite interesting.
Anyways, this sounds awesome. Great work.

[The Geek Theme 1.2]

Enjoyed it.
Love the synths.
Simple and neat.
The ending's the only part that's could use some more work.
Mix and master could also be better, no matter how simple it should be.
Good job overall, enjoyed the melodies. :)

[Killer Instinct]

*pumped up*
Love the idea, arrangement, riffz and lead.
Mix is pretty muddy though.
Drum's are kinda weak and I feel that the song needs more dynamic range and better eq-ing.
Anyways, all the stuff refers to mixing. I'm sure you gonna go up from here. :)
Still tasty and epic composition.
Keep it up!

Barzoom responds:

Thanks man!

I have... really.. really lost base with mixing and mastering but I plan to brush it all up when I have time. Thanks for the call out. xox

[FrostBite Mountain]

Delightful. :)
Loved every moment of it.
Nothing much to add, really.

[Golden Bridge (Siegius OST) (2011)]

Delightful! :)

BTW. That game link is not working.

[Small Steps]

Charming as hell.
Love the legato slides and main melody in general. :)
And that flute break was amazing.
Tells the story for sure.
Good job.

[Beachside With You]

Dammit.
You and your leads.
<3

[Wood Factory Zone]

Great work actually.
Decent mix, nice arrangement and buildup.
Some kind of more silent break later would come in handy.
Ending could also be better. Even if you landed just root note in the end.
Anyways, I love the verse melody and those rhytmic crash parts in chorus.
Good job, keep it up!

I'll take care your comment, give me time to improve on my melodies (It's funny because I'm doing this for hobby)

Thanks for the suggestion! ^^/
