[={R4yn}= -Bass Is Kicking- FNL]

Great song!

This song is good, I never really heard the original, but this is nice.
There seems to be something missing from this song though, I think its some pads. To my taste, some pads will help this song sound much better.
Nah, just a suggestion. Also, some variety of instruments will work too.
The chord progression is too common, you see, so you should try something more interesting with the bassline, instead of repeating two notes again.
Still, this is a great song, and shows what you can do with music. =)

Dj-Rayn responds:

I like the idea of using a pad, I didn't really think it could help a song but after thinking harder about it, it could do a whole lot of good. Thank you and yah I hear this chord progression in a lot of techno songs. It's pretty common X)
Thanks dude!

[Apotheoses]

Great!!!

Nothing much to say here.. This song is great, I like the orchestral instruments.
The best parts came after the rather slow start..
This is just awesome!!!!!!

Oh, and good luck for the NGADM. Good luck beating SBB.. (though his music is great too)

TheBenjerman responds:

Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it, especially from a fellow artist such as yourself.

^__^

[Awoken V2]

Great!!

This song sounds good already. I like the progressions, the melodies, quite a lot.
Just a couple of changes you can add to make it sound better, you should lower the high pitched synths a bit, it's getting a bit annoying the longer I listen to it.
The kick drum needs to be punchier, especially for this kind of genre.
Changing the clap sound to every 2nd and 4th beat will make it sound better, to my taste..
Want to hear the final version of this song soon.. Its awesome..

Kadadj responds:

Thanks man, Yeah, first i had problems getting the synth volume high enough, so i made the melody an octave higher, but ill work something out, ill take your tips in consideration. Expect V3 in a day or two :)

[Cave of Illusions [WIP] :: Px]

Decent..

This song has an awesome melody...
I just find the synths a bit too messy and overdone, and the volumes of the synths are a bit too loud, and seem to compete with each other for volume. Maybe some mixing would help
This looks promising as a great song.. Gonna wait for the full version. =)

GrantProjectXero responds:

Awesome man! Thanks you for the tips :)
I'll make sure to let you know when the full is done!

[dj 5vv - Deep Within]

Not bad...

This song is great! I like the overall song, it fits quite well.
The high pitched synths can get a bit too loud, I'd prefer you lower the volume a bit, or eq the song.
The pad can sound a bit mono at times, make it more stereo?
Overall, this song is great. Awesome trance beat.

StormVv01F responds:

thanks for taking the time to write a review. i agree with the you on the synths, it seems the headphones im using change the sound around a bit. i have to burn a disc and play it in my car in order to know what it really sounds like. again thanks for your time

[Inspirations]

Yeaa!@!!

It's not 'too melodic'. In fact, the melody is really great, it fits really awesomely.
Since its drum and bass, I think you should pump up the drums a bit. The bass can do some toning down, its a bit too loud. In fact, all the instruments apart from the bass should be a bit higher.
I love the melodies. I wish I could make something as awesome like that... =/
Great work!

smilingpig67 responds:

Haha thanks! :D

[Solinia Online - Centrox]

Great..

Interesting modification on a common chord progression, I like that.
This really gives me a weird 'video game'ish mood.
I find the beginning a bit repetitive with the pizzicato strings repeating its rhythm for a bit too long.
The pads seem a bit cheesy too. Perhaps add some effects?
Great song you have there. Really reminds me of runescape. (Don't ask me why, just feels like it.)

SoliniaOnline responds:

By pads do you mean very expensive orchestral samples? XD

But anyways, thank you for your review. :)

[Icyy]

Huh?

The beginning synth kind of threw me off. It was a bit too cheesy, like one of those weird choir pad samples that come with FL studio and sound really cheesy, unless you modify them.
The drum beats don't fit that well, and the progression is way too simple. Since this is an ambient song, you should learn how to synthesize better sounding pads. Maybe automating a parameter of this pad will work.
The drums are also way too cheesy. Nothing much to say here.
Sorry for being harsh. Don't be too discouraged by this. Go ahead and do better next time. =)

SeeD419 responds:

lol it sounded exactly the way I wanted it to.

[[BS] Dark Orchestral PieceLoop]

Pretty good..

This loop is pretty good, can be used for some part of an epic movie or something.
Maybe you can make it sound a bit more airy.. The drum beats are a bit repetitive..
Still, great song there! Like it.
And... go finish it. I wanna hear the full version. =)

BlinkMarine responds:

That's a nice review :)
I definately want to finish it, and i will, as soon as i have finished my current project :D

Thanks

[Bright Screen]

Great song!

This is actually pretty good.
I feel it doesn't really deserve its really low score, probably some guy came by and dropped a zero on it.
Current Score
1.64 / 5.00 (+ 1.09)
I just find this song a bit annoyingly repetitive. The beginning phaser'd synth is a bit annoying, as it repeats for a number of times before the song starts, and continues throughout the whole song. It gets a bit annoying after a while.
I find this song has no beat to it. Trance songs typically have a kick drum on every beat, a hi-hat inbetween each kick drum, and a snare/clap every 2nd and 4th beat.
Still, this song is pretty decent, the melodies are great.

DJRois responds:

thank you very much for your constructive review ;)
