[-WV- Rebirth(Final)]

Too sudden!

Man, as you know it's your music, theres just one thing that definetly kinda messed it up, I understand that you want an energetic track, but the beginning just shoots me in the face with a 12gauge and then just moves on. The melody is a classive btw. Percs are a bit too loud. Other than that its a pretty uplifting track. I hear that vanguard back there!. Thanks for introducing vanguard!

MattBlair responds:

Thanks man. Go vanguard!

Thx for the review bro!

[-WV- Nightlife]

-Structure Justifies it's originality

The track seems very well constructed, and you had a very stable idea of what you wanted to pull. the only complaint I have is that there is a synth that was also used in the beginning of Bleeding Winds that gives this 1 a similar sound making it sound static and like there isn't much differentiating from Bleeding Winds and Night-Life. Although the track presents itself in a William Vance sound it is simply well produced and solidly planned out. The muted plucks sound very ethnic. Good work.

MattBlair responds:

Thanks alot man. I did have a very stable Idea, let it out. But i've lost it, so I'm not sure if Nightlife will be finished.

Thanks for your review!

[Rebirth [demo]]

Eqing!

I see you've used soundfont for the pads. Great energry as far as the song goes. I hear it lacking some Lower End Frequencies thought. Sounds like it has good potential for a nice uplifting piece if you play your cards right. The snareroll sounds fine. The percs work nicely with the kick but the highats are too dry. Try to add open highats and also some fast low volumed highats in the background. Clap sounds like it needs a slight delay and a pre-reeverb.
IF you listen to the strings at around 1:07 there's only one note playing. try to give it more melody because all that can be heard is one note just streaming. You have a good concept and it sounds refreshing. I was getting tired of all the stupid kiddie Hardcore trance and HardTrance stuff. NewGrounds needs a revolution in Electronica music. Sounds like youve set the stage for it :)

Long Live progressive!

[Journey to Love[final?]]

Good Melody, Nice Drive.

I'm realling enjoying the opening melody which is acompanied by a build up around the 50 second mark. I think the 1st break comes too early around the 1:00 Minute mark. Bass is nicely Eq'd although Raising the low end up a bit and adding a highend Subbass. Melody which creeps in at 1:45 is rather nice and attractive. In my opinion, pads is the requirement here. Perhaps a fat pad which can later be automated into a high Eq'd pad, to get that Airwave sound. I do believe since it's a demo, it has that ackward sudden stop. Good stuff nonetheless, finish it.

Lack Of Atmosphere

I may be no professional producer, but this song definetly doesn't fit it's descrition. It lacks all the the energry it promises and the mastering isn't at it's finest. It's lacking strings powerful kick, highats are dry, the repetitive melody gets very tedious, the snare roll is about the only high-end sounding element about the song, and the Goa-Trance percussions at the beginning of the song. Come on you can better than this. I listened to the song, and it got me nowhere.
I can offer tips if you aren't too naive, I wanna see if I can help :)

staticnoise responds:

Thanks for the review. I appreciate your specificity.

[Evolve (4mins50secs)]

Wow

I really like the layered melodies, and the arps. One problem though. The kick kills any chance of an atmosphere Try getting a nice wet kick but with strong aggressive attack. My suggestion is to use a compressor on it. THe strings need to come out more, and give the clap a reeverb to get some nice energy.
Melody get's repertive after a while. So a suggestion is to copy and paste it and move it an octave lower so you can layer it on top of the orginal melody. The strings at 2:16 sounds so nice. But that break is to short. Make it longer so that you can add more strings and bring ina massive snare roll while making the synths louder and then at the climax BOOM, you have energy.

AdmiralConquistador responds:

These are all good ideas, I'm probably going to end up re-releasing this song cleaned up and stuff... I really was impatient and just wanted to get a version of the song up on newgrounds without perfectly mastering it. These are all great ideas and I'll use it in the re-release of the song. Thanks for all the advice, and thanks for listening to the song!

[DisCom-Dillusional Discomfort]

Let's see

I don't know what sound you're trying to achive here, but it sounds like Gameboy music. That kick simply gives it away man, FL studio. Dude you need a better kick for starters that too light. Try www.djsamples.com for starters, they have free kick. Try to diverse the drumroll. And the highhat sounds kinda bland. Make it more enrgetic by layering it with other highhats in the background with low volume. The strings sound so dry. Give em delay, reeverb and Try using more than one note for them.

Disturbed-Composure responds:

Thank you for the ideas. I just started so im not too worried about making anything perfect right now. Besides, im still learning the program.. I mean not many people know how to use filters this early on, im not worried about my work being inefficent. Bottom line, I enjoy making music...

[B0UNC3 - Trance Act]

Good stuff

I listened and I gotta say, you are just shooting freat tracks out like a loaded gun man!
Imagine if this is only 64kbps, how the 128kbps is going to sound! Great stuff bounc3. I wanna hear more!
