Wow! That's a good module. The toy-gun sample (pattern 16, channel 5) is quite nice, but overused in the song (was this sampled from those Atari consoles? ;-). The Barbie-chorus (pattern 4, channels 1+2+3) was used alot too, but that's a good thing as I *really* liked it. Here's a list of what would need some work: end of pattern 22, pattern 12, order 34, orders 39-40, orders 44 to 52. The ending was a little abrupt. I really love the mood in the module. It makes me think of a kid playing with colourful toys. :) Keep tracking like this; I'll look forward to find your stuff.

This one's hard to classify. Slow 80's pop with 303 samples maybe? Technically it's pretty good for rookie. There are some fairly inventive chord progressions. However, I don't understand what the artist is trying to convey... the melody and chords are very soulful and emotive, but the drums try to make it into a happy-hardcore piece. Very confusing. This could have been a good tune if it was more coherent.

Not a bad track, fairly bouncy beat at times, it almost manages to sound uplifting after all the gloomy rookie tunes I've been listening to. Quite good tracking though the drum track could use a little extra work, it's a bit too cheesy right now. Still, pretty good effort.

The song is coherent, expressive, but a little repetitive. The stereo settings are poor, but the sound is good, volume mixing is controlled. You write good chords grids (except some , patt#46 for example), try to to write more choruses now in order to keep listeners' attention from begining to the end of the song. Good work.

The biggest problem in this song was the mixing. The instruments didn't fit well together, and there were not enough dynamics in terms of bringing in and taking out channels smoothly, and changing their prevelance. You must take a lot of care and a lot of effort in setting the volume of each individual note in order for it to fit into the song adequetly. On the plus side, there was a decent rhythm, but it was not so much that it detracted from the rest of the song. And there was enough variation to make it interesting up until the end. Put some more effort into it and spend some more time on it and this song could rival for some of the top spots in rookie.

I like the way you slow down your hihats and lower their pitch for different sections in this song. Then you speed them up to add another feel. You did a great job mixing in variations and adding ideas that don't clash much. For example, Order 44's little melody is pretty nice, and then later you go back in with the slow hihats. Great stuff. This song is pretty original, too.. So that's a good thing. The problem with this is the mixing, and the samples. In some parts the mixing isn't too good. The samples don't seem to fit together all that well. Musically this song is great, technically, not so.. This song's panning is pretty bland. . Most of it is in center, and some of it is hard left or hard right. I still love the variation in this song. I don't get bored of it, and all the sections are pretty excellent. Nice job!
