"Nicely done"

The Intro was so badass and then it stopped... your piano work is beautiful sounding... When the drums come in... you should have kept the piano part in and then gone into the next transition... the techno part of this song is severely lacking.... It sounds empty through out the whole end of the song.. you need a lot of layers in this song because the beginning has tons of delay and reverb.. but the techno part comes in and it sounds very dull and just cut off...

You have good ideas... but you need to work more on the "techno" parts of this song... even if you dont have great plugins you can still make good sounds with only a parametric eg and Reverb or chorus which almost any daw program has...
try and learn how to transition the pieces better and this song will be incredible.. I herard 0 buildups in the song itself and if its a techno song then here has got to be buildups.. they dont have to be crazy like a normal buildup.. just a burst in energy somewhere throughout the changing pieces... buildups help tremendously in techno.. look into that and making your own sounds..

Score: 8

"sounds good"

submission: Earsex [Omega4.5]

I like it... the sounds are nice together.. the only i dont like however is this song is really repetitive.. I understand its a house tune but there needs to be some variation in it like extra layers or a new bassline.. or some counter melody going on or something of that sort... I think i could work on that..

other than that I like it...
5/5 8/10

Please give my new song "Club BDub" a listen to and review

"great"

I understand you said you were just trying to re-create the song and not add anything new so I wont hold that against like the rest of the idiots on here who dont know how to read... As far as the producing part goes I find it very well...

-The kick drum is at that perfect level.. it doesnt mesh with the bass or other sounds... great job with that.

-All of your sounds are at good levels the piano,synth and bass are good... it seems to me like when the synth goes higher that you actually lowered the volume on it to make it sound the same level.. most people dont understand higher parts cut through more and seem louder.. good job with that

-Theres only 1 thing I critique in this and its a small personal opinion... I think the claps could be louder and have some more reverb in them.. Alot of people say that the Kick is the most important piece in a Dance song.. I think the claps/snare drums are just as equally important seeing as how people need something to go bye to dance.. and when they hear a louder beefier clap they know where they are in the song and its easier to groove to...

All and All Brilliant rewrite... Nice Mixing and Mastering.... Great sounding Synths...
9/10 5/5

Keep it up..
if you have the time Id appreciate it if you reviewed some of my work.. Ive been following you since youve been doin collabs with DJPINKe.... hes kinda like my mentor.. he helped me alot if where I am today

"I can feel the anger"

submission: The Hate Patrol

date: July 5, 2009

I feel your emotion.. I was actually waiting to hear a metal song to be honest haha... I really dont like the mix of sounds honestly.. its sounds like theres a shitload of clipping going on.. me personally i write my songs lower because we all Volume switches,sliders or knobs to turn it up.. but a recorded clippy mix will always sound bad.. look into that... IT just seems to me like a bunch of mangled up sounds with not that much composition made into it.. I know it its there but it doesnt like it when everything is going at once.... Id like to give this a try with a real guitar if you could send me an mp3 with the drums and stomps and guns in the beginning... Id like to give it a whirl

Score: 9

"hmmmm"

submission: Conventional Insanity

date: July 1, 2009

I really dont know if I like this or I dont lol.. Its a mixed decision... it has a few styles in it.. Idk which one to relate it to though.. its really hard.. i think thats what you were trying to attempt though so great job on that not making a set style.. thats harder to do then spoken... Nice sounds...nice bass... piano i think could use some more reverb to make it fill the song a little better.. personal opinion..all and all Its a nice tune to listen to because its different

Score: 8

"good style"

submission: [Omega4.5] Demoniac

date: June 23, 2009

Well this is actually a Techno song and not a trance song.. I think you could have gave the drums some move movement though becuase techno is all about the drums and thats the number one ingredient in a techno song.. Trance songs are more the opposite.. trance songs are about the melodies and bass lines just with a pretty stadard techno drum beat behind it...I would really call this electro music either electro is more stuff like high sounding sines and im really one thing in this tune and its the bass.. its not a bad thing but its one thing I keep hearing clear..the bass sounds like a low saw... most electro music doesnt consist of low synths and also dont really have the snare buildups like techno does... hears something else that will help ya out.. When you write a song.. dont say ok what genre am I going to write.. just write it.. Music is supposed to be something from the heart anyway.. it doesnt matter what style it is.. if its a cross between techno/country and metal then so be it.. its from the heart then its music... I think your so struck on trying to find a new genre that your changing one thing and using past expierence to write.. just write what comes to mind.. how you want it to sound.. your the author.. do what you think is right.. dont follow style guidelines...

Look forward to hearing more from ya

"really nice"

submission: 8-bit Storm

date: May 13, 2009

I love the main tones are 8bit but your bass and pads are in stereo and are the more modernized sounds.. they actually compliment each other VERY WELL.. I think thats why I like this song especially vs other 8bit remixes... 8bit sounds awesome for about 1minute... but since you added in the bass it fills the hole and it really does sound.. your still using the vintage style drums which i think fits this.. itd sound goofy with real drums or a kick drum lol...

Nice melodies in here.. amazing countermelodies.. the spiraling arpessgios are amazing sounding.. you have what it takes to make a great muscian... keep me posted if you post anything else like this... 8bit or not.. I wanna hear some good stuff here

Score: 9

"Yeah dude"

submission: The Epic Sound (Preview)

date: April 23, 2009

I'll admit when it started I though it was going to be another newbie with fruity loops but man when the envelope came in I knew you already knew what your doing.. Im really diggin this tune.. Its so beautiful and yet its got the dancy feel.. seriously this song to me sounds like a cross between the Titanic theme and Maybe by Toby Emerson... You should listen to that song, just go to youtube.. I think you would really enjoy it..

I seriously have nothing to critique here.. all the sounds fit perfectly, mastered well, the kick could be brought up a couple more notches though... its a lilttle quiet and I know you dont want it to overdrown the song out.. beautiful sounding piano and gates.... Nice cymbals as well... keep me informed of when the final version will be out

Score: 8

"good but..."

submission: My Quiet Place

date: April 20, 2009

heres some my critique for ya... Overall the song is pretty badass and new, creative.. heres some problems though..

1. The kick is way to fucking loud.. thats all I hear is the damn kick.. I understand you went back and raised the kick level so later on in the song it wouldnt get covered up but in the beginning it needs to be quieter..

2.. You have way too many sounds going on at once.. You seriously have like 8 different things going on at once.. like 2 melodies and 3backgrounds with 4 different ambient type sounds.. Its all cluster fucked together and Idk which one to listen.. They dont flow together so its rather annoying to me..

3.. when the 8bit plugins come in.. those didnt fit the song at all.. Also again a rather annoying thing to me..

Heres the Good things I liked about the song..
1.. The piano and string and plugin were very nice.. beautiful sounding piano and epic sounding strings.... The kick drum also has a ncie sound to it.. not a techno kick or from a drumset but still too loud..

2.. The bass on this is madning.. theres alot of it in there but its all different frequencies and distorts my ears with headphone and my computer sub just gets obliberated...

3.. when the snare comes in 2:50 its starting to go somewhere and starts to become groovy.. Sounds like the song wants to go on longer..

4.. The song is mastered all right.. I dont hear anything clipping.. I hear no eq problems with certain instruments besides all the basses... Compressing sounds good on the strings.. the claps could use some work like remove a little bit of high's

5.. all the delay and echoes make the song sound kind of old school and it really does fit.. it also helps with the style of the song too.. which I guess you called this Ambient Trance??

all and all its good, but I would work on some the stuff I listed below.. some are my personal prefrence though.. Dont take anything serious in this review... But Im a person that actually reviews a song.. not just say OmG this is L33T.. FAV0r!tE S0ng!!!!!

"Seriously"

submission: [TMM43] Sundance

I remember your work back when you where doing songs like maybe and digital girl and hard sounds... This song is not even a comparison to your old songs... This song is absoulety brilliant.. I seriously have nothing at all to critique on this.. its mastered very well and all the sounds flow well together and its all loud and bassy and EQ'ed just so nicely... Lots of verb in the song to keep the transistions smooth...

The melodies are amazing... Simple yet catchy... thats hard to do.. most people have to make complicated melodies and counter melodies to make something catch and stick...

Just wondering if this is your original work or if its another cover song... I know how you like to do cover songs and they are great also but I really want to hear what you can do on your own creations.. Im sure its great

5/5 10/10.. .and you should know I dont give out 10's easily... Ive given a 10 to maybe 3songs on the NG audio portal..

You and Cajete are seriously my favorite NG artists by far
