"Air Fantasy" - F-777

"Good song ^_^"

date: December 8, 2009

I'm impressed in your workmanship as always, this is very good. Only thing, Interesting insturment choice around 1:25, a good change of pace from the same ole techno thing others give. Some of your inspiration certainly did show though though as RokiSensei said. I noticed 2 or 3 well known artists with similar themes. Although that just means you're up there bringing the best to your fans. A good diversification for your collection, but not a title piece for a CD. Keep up the good work.

PS: Your inspiration of from about a year ago has gotten me starting my own song production. I'll send you an email with info.

Sting - F777 challenge

"Interesting, not your usuial."

date: May 25, 2009

The background "drum/symbol" part is really solid. But I feel like the piano is lacking a climax, for some reason I feel like it should have one even though it is a rather repetitive part because it sticks out to the listener. If you don't want to make a climax part to it then I would recommend playing around with what key it's in.

PS: You're going to see my work up on the Audio Portal soon under [SMOS] so I hope you take the time to review it too. Have a good one, and i'll be looking for your next submission. GL!

F-777 "Entranced"

"This is a really good song."

submission: F-777 "Entranced"
date: April 7, 2009

I could see this working well for background music. Yet it can stand on its own. What program do you use to write your music?

A New Energy - F-777

"From a fellow artist - PM request"

date: February 28, 2009

Honesty I think this isn't as catchy as your normal music. You did a really good job when you slowed down around 1:30, but I think you could afford to slow it down by about 3-8 bpm or so.

If you work around with specific instruments fading in and out a little bit more then you could improve its quality. Especially in the beginning and end you need to think larger picture. If a song is going to make it big then it needs to be something that isn't going to smash into people all at once in the beginning. It should be something that is built into. Your insturments all begin so close to one another that you lose some of the building effect. You have an excellent start, but you will make this song twice as long and twice as memorable if you take my advise. Trust me.

Dj Otherworld - Happy Core

"good song - tips from a musician."

date: December 20, 2007

I love your method. I feel like you're not really giving it your all though. You could definally add another line in with the other major themes within the song. Once you can alternate in complexity and dynamics then you can be the king of the audio portal. Keep workin' hard. You've got this.

"After Sunset" F-777

"You summoned me? A true 10-star music selection."

date: December 20, 2007

Beginning and End: They match! You connected it! YES!

:42 Amazing job.

I love how the bass part is there but not distracting from the song. I noticed that it was a little distracting in your 3rd collab with Kris but you used it perfectly here!

1:33 great job on bringing it down. You show your skills in your contrasts.

No complaints. You gave this type of song a run for its money and won.

Congratulations.

[Kriz & F-777] - Brightness

"Thx for the message. Here ya go!"

date: December 20, 2007

Start: consider fade-in with first climax being your introduction. (to go with fade-out at end)?

:10 you could get away with your introduction being played louder then that. I know you want credit for this masterpiece.

:40, was unsure why you included the change in effect. Just seemed a bit overdone

1:40 could use some more dynamics

It was very well done. You guys did great! Lovin' it.

[Kriz & F-777] - Taken

"You asked for it, so here's my review."

date: December 6, 2007

You asked for my opinion so I thought I'd listen to it a few times through and tell you what worked well and what could use a bit more work:

Intro :35- I like how it didn't start out boring like many dance/trancee songs, yet it left somewhere to build to

:35 - :50 Good synth part. Very catchy.

:50 - 1:06- Synth still sounds good but I feel like its more of an alarm clock at certain pitches. (I haven't tried it, but maybe a dramatic octive switch?)

1:06 - 1:33- Nice transition, I especially like how you introduced the 16th notes with the quick low-high-low part. It makes this piece unique.

1:33 - 1:45- Newgrounds isn't to this level yet, you amaze.

(1:45) - I can't tell if this not is skipping and its a low quality version or if you just are playing the same note really quickly. Sounds kind of like a skip. Check it out.

1:45 - 2:02- Beautiful

2:02 - 2:25You might want to bring in the drum part in 2:08 instead of 2:11, the off-beat sounds great but very difficult to dance to. Maybe offer something quiter but on-beat at the same time?

2:25- 3:05Everything falls into place.

(2:40 - 2:58) When I was listening to this song I heard a police siren outside my window and it sounded kinda cool with the music. Slow, quiet, and occerred about every 4th beat. It was really pretty cool.

3:05-End The Echo sound becomes most prominent 3:10-3:15 but you could actually make it a lot louder for a more duel-like sound. Battling audio is always good. Good note structure, use of appropriate repetition between the High-low-high-low echo parts.

Overall, bravo! Thanks for letting me know you had a new release. Keep me posted! +1 for my collection. =)
