[dj_padman1 - Crush]

Pure ambient DnB Sweetness

dj-padman, thanks for stopping by our page and leaving a review.

This piece, the ambient beginning on this is purely brilliant. It was an awesome way to start the piece. you've got some nice glitchy effects in this too, which boosts the feel of this track very nicely.

Good work man

5/5

Oh if you loved our first piece, you will love the next one, due in a couple of days.

Keep banging out these monster tunes, we'll be checking back in on you. ;)

Thanks, I'll be waiting for your next one!

[Dj~SlingSh0t - 5 To 6 -]

Wow

erm, techno eh? are you sure about that? cos I for one aren't I would say it was more pop or indie.

That point aside, this piece was a very well made piece, starting out with that percussion and that piano sounded really nice, then a pause, nice!

This piece flowed very well too.

Be proud of this piece, cos I just can't fault it, other than your choice in genre :)

Stick with the music man!

Hit us back with a review, sometime.

Thanks

10's all round, not a thing wrong with this piece

Ok, looks like I'm the first review for this piece.
I've heard this through a couple of times now, I was expecting to have a lot to say, in form of a good critique. You've got 8 pages of audio here, so you would expect anyone that has this much audio here, to know what they're doing.

It sounds just like that too, I will return to listen to and review more of your audio soon, to form a well rounded opinion of just what you're music's all about.

This I loved, I can't fault it, really amazing stuff.

We've just submitted our first piece, damn verification process takes an age, If you could return a review that would be really appreciated.

On another note, the piece submitted is just a small simple piece, for verification purposes. The next track will be on in a couple of days. We'd really appreciate some critique on it too.

Sorry half this review consists of a review, request.

Stay with the music man, this piece alone, highlights your skillz

[-[ IDM Project ]-]

Good DnB not really IDM

Wowza this isn't all too close to IDM, it's definitely Drum n Bass, IDM has constant rhythm changes in it, thus making it less predictable. This follows a traditional rhythm structure, and is more predictable. It features glitched snare, you'll need to start getting down and dirty messing around with samples, distorting them to high heaven, twist them and misconstrue them to obblivion.

Keep at it man, look around some of the IDM sites for more pointers, you'll find it very useful, and get some sample editing tools too they'll come in very handy for what you're aiming for.

Good Luck to you!

5'd

DSMagnum responds:

Well, I'm not too sure what this was, and the first thing that popped to mind was IDM. My second thought was Drill N' Bass, which would probably be a more fitable genre for this.

Thanks for reviewing and 5ing. I'll be sure to get back to you soon.

[GOAT METAL + mario cameo]

It's good, but!

Wow what can I say, I can hear some absolute bitching guitar coming out of this track.

The opening of this track is sweet, kicking off with the drums, followed by that kick ass guitar.

Now I really love good metal, and this is really, very close to that.

Now there were some things about this track that aren't doing the tune justice at all, I'll give you some helpful pointers.

If you listen to the track, I'll help guide you through the bits I'm referring to, it will help you kick some serious ass with your killer guitars.

Here goes: at the beginning, you're drums kick in, there's no immediate problem, the guitar kicks in.

The point at which the guitar kicks in, it sounds crystal clear. Then the Hi-Hats/percussion kicks in 2-3 seconds after that. This is where the problem occurs.

The Hi-Hats and the guitar are sharing the same range of frequencies. which can lead to all sorts of problems, as can be heard in this track. the guitar sounds really muddy/unclear at the points where the Hi-Hats are on the scene.

I would suggest mastering this track, put your percussion into a channel, guitar into another, beats/snare onto their own too. throw some compression into the mix, and reverb on your percussion, and this track will sound amazing.

Good luck with your future tracks

METALSEATER responds:

Thanks for the review man

I did notice the hi hat seemed a bit too loud. I forgot to master it lol

I hit you back soon

[/|\*Can You Dig It?*/|\]

Yay you made me laugh

hahaha You've done the Can Can

You genius, this is seriously likely to get used in a flash now, you realise?

Okay, this track isn't far from being awesome, it's real close to awesome, but just a little bit more work needs doing to this, for it to be an absolutely awesome track.

The improvements I can recommend:

The track needs to be mastered some more, the beats lack that real ooomph, they kind of do the job, but they're distorting just a bit.

I've got a feeling you're using FL, am I right?

For your percussional elements, I would put some/more reverb onto the mixer channel for those.

The instrument at the end, that kinda sounds like slayer, I don't think it fits this piece too well, it's alright in places, another instrument for the parts of that, that didn't sound ok, would make it more pleasing to the ear.

Bonus points for Making me laugh, you've done the Can Can, you're a genius!!!

I'm sorry but it's gotta be 5/5

Hit us back with a review, we would greatly appreciated it

Thank You

ShootingStar responds:

Thanks dude, i really appreciate it. Yeah im using FL, yeah that was a slayer at the end, and yeah thanks for the review. BTW, i use the demo for all my songs, so i'd love to change it but can't... Maybe i'll do another one later. Thanks again!

[Politics, Haiti, and X]

Man this is very nicely done

Wow man, the lyrics on this are Sweet, You've made great use of the Verve sample, man don't you just love that tune? It's wicked.

Without meaning to bash you, which is not my intention here whatsoever, But I just feel the levels on this track need some minor adjustments, everything you have, together, has real potential.

The Vocals on this, are very well done, very clearly rapped, I think the volume of them need to be turned down just a little bit.

Along with that, the track needs to be mastered, just a bit, use compression (if available to you), that will solve the problems of distortion, that's occurring in this piece.

Because I wasn't expecting, the verve sample, (when it was loading) or the Rap vocals, you wrote and performed, and because I really loved what you've done here, I'm giving you 5

Good luck with your future works, We'll be popping back from time to time,

[Jump 2 the Beat]

WTF is splat attack

Forgive my ignorance, but what is Splat Attack?

anyway on with the review for your rendition of a track I don't know. having never heard the original, it will be kinda difficult for me to gauge, how close to the original this is.

The beats on this a pretty complimentary to the bass line you have in this, the bass line I feel should play for a little longer. this isn't too much like Drum N Bass. the Drums and Bass in this doesn't mean it's Drum N Bass, I would say, based on the Bass line in this, it's more of a funk piece, to be honest.

It's good none the less, and I feel this track needs to be mastered more so as the levels in this aren't set up quite right.

4/5
