Nausea

":D nice first submit"

submission: Nausea
date: November 19, 2006

You definetely have captured some of the best elements of DnB very well with this song. The one you didn't get is a good melody. The bassline sounded completely random, and made the song sound a little crappy.

All your instruments are great, you just need to work on the melodies.

The drums were good too, although that snare rush sounded out of place. If you're going to use rushes, make a lot more than just that one at the end of each phrase. A rush on the kick sounds cool, too. Another thing about rushes, you need to be sure that each note cancels out the last one so it doesn't sound too loud and harsh. What program are you using?

So overall, work on your drums a little bit, and make up a set melody that plays throughout the peice.

4/5 VERY good for a first submission.

{dj-N} Listen to Your Heart

"Ya rite..."

date: November 19, 2006

anyone who knows how to use a search bar knows that this is a remix.

Anyway, I like the intro, you used pianos with longer attack, right? I liked that, attack always brings out the coolest effects in samplers.

Anyway, nice stolen melody there, also your drums are good as usual.

The bass sucks ass.

4/5 OMG NOOB MAKE MOAR DRUMNBAYSE!!!1

No, that trance melody is mine, not the DHT part. I thought it when without saying that this was a mix. I just didnt have room to write it in the title bar.

Granola Bars

"hahaha"

submission: Granola Bars
date: November 18, 2006

Lol, I'm gonna be hearing "EAT GRANOLA BARS BARS BARS!" in my head for a pretty long time now.

The vocals are really funny and well arranged, and the musical part of the song sounds purely professional.

6/5 Your music > granola bars

Mission To Deep Space[Eremix]

"WOW"

date: November 18, 2006

I absolutely love the subbass in this! The drums are amazingly well put together, and those crying VG-style maain synths blow my mind.

I like the panning effects you put on it in some parts, too.

The sidechainy overall compression brings this track to life.

I thought I hated Trance, but this song is just pushing me to change my mind.

100/5 For now, this is my favorite trance song.

DK3 Breakbeat V2

"Some good changes, some bad"

submission: DK3 Breakbeat V2
date: November 16, 2006

Some things you did were improvements, some kinda lost me. It sounds like you slowed it down a lot, a bit to slow IMO.

However almost all the other changes were great, and together they made a great remix. I especially liked the breakdown in the end going into that crazy bass thing.

I still love that main synth so much! It sounds VG-ish in a really good way.

The drums were pretty, the line was really smooth and nice. I just think you could've brought up the kick a bit more in the low end. Also, when you go this slow in Drum N Bass, 2-step isn't a great way to write your drums, it sounds too sparse. Maybe something a little more amen-style would've fit better wth this track. Otherwise the drums sounded great!

Good guitar work at the end, that super-fast solo part was a little distracting, though.

The background pads you used in this were great, the kind of thing that I'm too lazy to put in my songs :D

So yeah, I think the originial tempo was better, and if you kept it the drums wouldn't have lost as much of their flavor, but overall this is a really good track!

5/5 Good to see you back into DnB ;-)

~Angels Glory~ (Stealth Remix)

":D"

date: November 15, 2006

Woah, that's got a nice feel to it! Very smooth, flowing, and ambient. The vox fit in well with your background pads n such.
However, the raw drums are too sharp, and don't fit in well with the rest of the track. The drumline is good, it's just what's playing it that is noticeably out of place. Are you using the factory samples? If so, you should search around the internet for better drum samples. A good starter site is vipzone-samples.com.

5/5 very quiet, soothing track. BUT TEH DRUMZ OMGF?!?

Author's Response:

Yeah I know what you mean, I started hunting for new sounds when I started this, beats weren't a consideration at the time, yeah the beats were standard FL samples, I'll check out that site too!

I do need some decent beats! Thanks

Cheers for the review and the tip SadSpoon

Peace Out!

Mysteries After Dark

":D"

date: November 15, 2006

Very nice style of music you're experimenting with. I like all the ambient-style instruments each playing a similar but yet different melody against glitchy samples panned 100% into the right speaker (lol).

I really like everything about this peice =, except for those 16th note bass drums hits. For some reason they give me a stomacheache. Either that or I'm getting sick, lol!

I think that this track had some great diversity, but it lacked effects. Put more reverb on it, or even a light Phaser on some middle-frequency instruments.

5/5 nice ambient peice
SS

Author's Response:

Thanks SadSpoon

damnit XD I was umming and erring about whether this was Ambient or Misc, doh!

I may have got the panning a little wrong, I was experimenting with panning, some through left, some not others going back and forth

LOL Oh well thanks for your review!!!

Peace Out!
