"Amazing"

submission: Karco - Abyss

date: August 30, 2008

Experimental ambient ey? Hmm sounds like dark ambient to me.
I like the fact that it keeps 'evolving'. Like progressive ambient? :S
Small changes are added atleast each 16 bar or so. And the piano on top is briljant. Without it the song would collapse. And the 'choir' samples sound really fluctuating. I can't really explain but they don't sound real. Yes i know if it's nexus, it's synthesized. But there soundfonts that don't fluctuate. The wind effect are nice. You added some other fxes aswell. I wonder howmuch reverb you used :/.
Well i must zellers. He said i sounded like an underwater journey. And oh yes. It's like playing Bioshock or something.
And special note to you: I heard each thing there is to it in the first time >: l since you said that in author comments i heard the song closely. ( HA in your face ).

ps. I want that piano damnit >: l

"Awesome"

submission: Somewhere in Nevada

date: August 29, 2008

The intro is maybe a tad to calm. with the weird percussions and the bell-like synth. But then suddenly the reese kicks in! :O amazing. Altough i expected it to have a little more bass. The whole rhytm is amazing. The variation is good. I like the fast-paced effect it has. Altough, i suspose i won't see this in any madness game. YES, it's paced, has alot of good DNB stuff. But it isn't really Dark/evil like in the most other Madness song's. And it doesn't have that 'Tough battle' feeling to it. If you know what i mean. It's, almost too happy for that lol.

"Sounds cheesy ^^"

submission: {DjF} Gravity

date: August 2, 2008

Intro is oke, overdone but alright.
I really dislike the weak synth. In the intro and those chords doesnt help much either. But after a while it gets better. ALOT BETTER. But after such a massive breakdown the chorus is such a let down!! Try to imrpove the chorus ALOT more. Like adding hihats ealier and more fxes. More background synths to keep it alive. It needs to make people either dance or wave there arms in the air. If you would make the chorus better you got yourself a great track. The varation is great. Breakdown is awesome. You've got some good ideas but i think that it's isn't aswell executed as you wanted it to be. Just a hunch.
But oh god, i want to remix this. With what program did you make this? I presume FL. Not sure about that tough.
Please come in contact with me :).

"Hmm oke.."

submission: -={DJ-PHX}=- Crafted In Heav 2

date: August 2, 2008

Alright first off..
The intro is bad. There isn't really an intro. Maybe next time try adding a smooth intro.
The beat is weak and lame. Lack of punch and bass in the kick and boring hihats doesn't help the track. I would love hearing a clap or snare.... Some distort on that synth that comes in around 0.28. Probably because of the low freqeuncy's in that synth. Try eqing that away and compress it . That might help.
Bass is dull and to be honest, is there a real bass? Well yeah there is but it needs more volume. Piano is nice. Counter melody is good. I should remove partly the beat there if i were you. Alright, fix the ending too lol.
I hope you take some of my advice in your next track. You still have a long way to go :) So keep it up.

"Amazed..."

submission: {-^MP^-} Techno Funk! V2

date: July 31, 2008

I keep in mind the lack of mixing due to your speakers and headphones.
None the less, this is an amazing track. I barerly hear such good stuff around here on NG. First of all the variations are very intresting and GOOD. It defies evry endless repetion in most tracks. I really love that violin and the filtered synth/arp. And the bass and guitar are a nice touch too. Top notch music, too bad you couldn't really mix it good enough :(.
I always have some sort of complaint about every song since im very nitpicking :p.
And because this song isn't perfect, ill say that the beat needs some imrpovement. And sometimes it just doesn't feel right in my oppinion. Maybe it's just because the beat changes with every melodic change too. So it sounds like different songs sitched together. If you would have a constant beat going tough all of this it would be more of one whole part.

I really liked this track, good job. The harmony between the genres are amazing. Keep it up

"In 1 hour right? Nice..."

submission: Murderous Intention

date: July 31, 2008

First off, im not realy fond of metal or this specific genre. Hard rock? :p
I don't know, but anyways I like it.
The riff is nice.
The beat is OK. It could do so much better. It's so WEAK. Wheres the deep kick and the pounding snare you (always) hear in this kind of genre?
My only complaint, it kinda gets too repetive till the solo. The solo is really nice.
BUt i would like something on top till 1.28.
I don't know, but it would make this track better then it is now.
That's why a 9/10. almost 10! So keep going!!

Summary:
Imrpove the beat, it's not dynamic enough.
Maybe something on top till 1.28
Then you'll get my 10 :D

Please check out my new song, altough it isn't this genre ( it's dance ).

"I've heard from you before ^^"

submission: Are We In Heaven (Demo 2.0)

date: July 31, 2008

Your one of the few female artists around here right?

Anyhow, let's start this review.
The intro is amazing. Finally a non-boring-unorigenal-only-beat intro...
It hits straight in. Which is amazing and very daring to do. Might end up killing the entire track because of the lack of tension.
Well i like this track, i really do. I have to concstantly remember that this is a demo >: (. The melody is awesome. And the melody on top of that, is even better. Maybe add a piano in the break or something and this song will reach the charts in no time. Oh and that filter/phaser thing is really cool.
Only complaint: I hate the crash. Ah well, can't have them all be perfect :D
Oh and, maybe the bass is too weak.. Waay to weak.
So 2 complaints, and 1 tip ( piano in break ). I hope you take my advice :)

"Its something different then your usual work"

submission: +Factory+

date: July 5, 2008

Oke, first of all.
Congrats on your 100th submission!

Anyways,
The track seems very 'loud'. With some harsh sounds like that lead synth.
And ofcourse the bass. The bass is kinda deep and i love that panning sound.
The drums are cool too. Something different. Altough i would like to have that snare/clap whatever it is a bit louder. To get that pumping feeling a bit more.
The quality is oke.. i mean i don't know much about this genre. But it sounds hard to Master it :P...
Anyways, for the Challenge i would rather go for an longer bassline (which i mean like the standard 4 bars or something in FL ). This is more of an riff. Which might get boring easily. But you fixed it with some different melodys. Might it be better if you changed the synth like here and then? For some more diversity?
Or must you use the same synth for Envy's challenge?
It's fast paced, aggresive and hard, Just like a factory..!?. Sometimes the drums kinda get drowned by the other sounds. but nonetheless a great track :)
Good job Writersblock
