[Somedumbtrippingelectronicsong]

Nice bassline

Nice rolling bassline, that's about my only compliment, your analog synths an your saw lines are absolutely disgusting. You have no eq tweaking abilities whatsoever, have you ever hear of a free filter? Or quite possibly a compressor? Otherwise the acid lines are the only thing I like aside from the bassline. I could call your weird song arrangement originality, or really fake and talentless composing, Ill go with the latter. Your souds collide an your mixown sounds horrbile. No real melody just your stereotypical instruments. I think you should definetly find a new genre to mess up. This my friend is absolutely bad. kudos.

cosmicrandom responds:

You think I was actually being serious when I made this song? HA!

[P_P-Above The Surface]

Ew

I don't care how not hard you worked on this, it sounds like crap, basic FL Studio sounds te melody is absolutely insipid the kick is disgusting, you really need to extend your options, for a drum and bass song it really has no bass and no drums, please, try your hardest next time, because this is horrible, I'm not one to usually flame on things but this is disgusting. Im sorry it's just I'm honest.

Para-Noid responds:

well when i say im not putting hard work in it means it probably not gonna be good. at all

[DJ Kazmo - Falling Skies]

It was ok

The beeps (I'm assuming it was the Wasp) Needs more delay, you need a better bassline, that 1 hides in the mix too much and doesnt stand out, need a subbass for your kicks, highats need some panning, they sound dry and stale. Overall the track lacks drive and no real energy is felt from it, your breakdown is annoying with that little zap sound, a drum roll would help introduce the build up because it was unexpected and sloppy how it just broke into the kick again. Needs alot of elements, definetly wouldn't move the dancefloor.

Kazmo responds:

Just like to point out that there's a difference between trance, and techno. Trance has that mellow feel to it, while techno is usually the stuff that has drive, this song is more for just soft listening, not for the dancefloor. Thanks for commenting though.

[-WV- Nightlife (NG Cut)]

Good stuff

MattBlair responds:

Thanks for the review man.

[-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!

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 - Alive]

Very Energetic

This song is very high-powered, definetly a club worthy song. I'll play this on my next set, Don't worry you'll get credit!
