The kind of drum used in channel 1 is not traditionally a pitched drum. I wouldn't recommend changing the pitch of this sample. Samples in general are good, but don't compliment each other like they should. Better attention should be given to the volumes of each sample/instrument. Also, keep a close listen to the tuning of instruments. Theory is clean, but simple.

This track has some interesting ideas, but I think it's a bit boring. Some more samples that cover higher frequencies and more than just the same two chords over and over again (okay, there a few - too few - exceptions, but nevertheless...I think, the bassline is too repetitive) would have done the song some good. The melody sounds in parts a bit, well, strange. Some notes don't seem to fit in there, especially in pattern 5 and 6. What I don't like at all are the samples. They sound if they were taken from some old Soundtracker song. Much too old and overused. All in all I think this piece is far from being a highlight, but there are some ideas.

The beginning sounds empty; when you make sound just drums and bass, you must work on it hard to make it interesting. But the next tracks are even worse. The main theem sounds out of tune and the samples doesn't seem to stay together in a good shape. It becomes boring, too. But the strings-based tracks at the end of the song are the most boring part of the song. I can't see any real effort in the tracking of this entry.

Samples ripped from almost everywhere. No panning used (so stereo mode is obsolete), no effects also. Mainly used notes E5,G5,D5 with diiferent samples. Chords used like they were leads (bad ideea!!). Crap melodic line(means no melodic line at all). A fade at the end of the song relievs us from the pain inflicted by this tune...

really low sound quality (the 1000 kb limits should have been used better). Too simple melodies, and also too linear. Really not interesting at all.

Hmm... name hints that this is your 7th attempt at tracking a song. hmm well, keep trying. But first study more tracks and how they are built up, effects they use and how things work. As the song is, it's deadly dull, simply upping the speed to 5 (default 6) makes it slightly more bearable. And please, try to find better samples to rip. These samples are older than mankind and have been done to death too many times in the (distant) past. Heck, I've heard that last string sample looped better (even by me :)

in two words: strange noise - sounds like the first attempt - bad sample quality
