[DJ Bossler - Helter Skelter]

it's trance

so not much i can say.
but technicaly speaking,
the bass at the start, lower the decay time so the echoes don't clip into ech other.
imo (i don't let my opinions affect my score) that saw is really overused.
but EQ-wise, it was kinda loud.
you kept the assline interesting, which is good.
try too use fewer melodies and add more harmonies.
so, instead of just smashing the 2 main tunes together, try and add softer,
less obvious tunes to add depth to the song.
and really watch your EQ,
instruments should blend into eachother, not 1 spotlight instrument and the rest are in the back.

bossler13 responds:

yea, this was just one hour's worth of work. I had the idea and wanted to get it out. I've got so much more to do with it, so I'll definitely post the final once it gets there.

thanks for the review dude!

[Kazmo - Headlock [RMX]]

i like your funky style

very bouncy.
nothing i can really say bad about this song.
can't criticize the writing, coz you didn't exactly write the song.
but it was executed pretty well.
needs a little more ambient noises at times,
but who really cares.
great song, for a remix.

Kazmo responds:

Remixes aren't different than making an original, in terms of effort put into it. A remix can sound good, or even better than the original, which means effort and time were put into it.

I put the same amount of effort into my remixes as I do my original pieces. But you can't just rate a song on the fact that it's a remix, and that because it's a remix, it doesn't deserve all posible marks.

I actually revisited this song and remastered it, but I can't update it because it's been used in a flash.

[={R4yn}= Bass is Kicking DEMO]

yeah

i guess it's a startup, but please pick a different bassline, IT'S REALLY OVERUSED.
as for the song, it could be better, watch your EQ and pick less generic instruments,
(also the crowd cheering loop is cliche, trash it)

Dj-Rayn responds:

I took your words to thought. I found it the same way, so I worked on the beginning a bit. Thanks for the review :]

[Project 33.3g]

could use some work

but wat's there sounds pretty good.
modulate the key a little, so things don't get repetitive.
try to EQ more, so everything blends in, instead of the instruments getting in the way of eachother so that you have to make one instrument really loud for it to be heard, so what i'm trying to say is seperate (by using multiband compessor or parametric EQ) the instruments into differnt frequencies so they all blend into eachother.
sounds pretty good to me, tho.

hyptyhop responds:

Thanx for the tips, unluckily i lost the fruity loop file but saved the mp3 one. So its gonna stay just the way it is right now/

[Voyage de genre[Dj-S]]

oh, yeah

that account "engie" is my alt account, so that was my review...
so yeah.

Sacrafan responds:

K <3

[Acid Paradox - Justice]

sounds like 90s

like one of those deep, hevy songs from the 80s (mostly coz of the choir)..
well until the drums come in (very well EQd, btw, i just love that drumset)
it was pretty cool, it flowed better than some of your songs, lol.
but i'm still barely getting that bass, and my woofers are all the way up.
although the chrod prog gets a little boring.
modulate it a little.

Acid-Paradox responds:

Awesome, Thanks!!

[[TheDimension1] Early Mist]

lol if you made this

then good job, sounds great, and NG-goers and retarded.
if this is just a song you like, then it's pretty good.
sounds professional.

floccari responds:

Composed, played, and recorded myself. I use as pro of equipment that I can afford (Reason 4.0 + Kawai Stage Keyboard + Edirol Audio Interface). Thanks for the compliment!

[[SP] ~ Don't Leave Me Now]

sounds ok

crowd sounds are a little cheesy, try some other ambiance (rain, ANYTHING else)
the vocals, were actually pretty good, but make the other instruments a little louder so it blends in a bit more.
well it's a techno, so i can't say much about it (i'm not a techno guy)
but the lead and chord progression are nice (but not rly yours, lul).
but overall, it was pretty ok.

Blizzaine responds:

This is a cover

In the actual song, there is a crowd

So nah, I wont change it lol.

[He's A PiRate (ReMiX) {WiP}]

okhey

the EQ is off, in that
the main saw (overused, imho) is too loud,
the kick doesn't have any variation.
the short lead sounded ok, but it's jsut kind of the same tune over and over.
time your kicks better, and make your bassline louder.
and try and add more harmonies and little things that spice the song up so it's not
just drum/bass/lead/chord, you need to add effects and little play-ins sometimes to break the tune up.

Chimy727 responds:

okay, thanks this helps a bit, i kinda think the lead (not saw) is pretty good, i guess it can go down a bit, and ill take that stuff into consideration!

[vLm-=Valhalla=-]

it's a good song

i'm not a trance fanboy, so wouldn't know what good trance sounds like, but other than that the song has no..motion (like it has no momentum, it jsut stays in lo-fi mode) it's a good song with a good chord progression, and it has nice effects.
so yeah.

vampiricLLAMA responds:

Yeah with this one I found myself stumped as to what I could do to pick up the pace besides a tempo increase. I'm more familiar with the psy side of trance. Thanks for the review and comments!
