Maybe they couldn't hear anything? It's a bit quiet.

It sounds like MIDI. MIDI sounds like noobish to people, so they will vote 0.

I can barely hear it, so I can't really critique it. Try using a real program next time, like FL Studio, or Reason, or even Cubase (use teh google).

It wasn't bad, though. I didn't hear any dissonance anywhere, so I'll give a 6, and vote 4.

mkron responds:

thanks, its supposed to sound poppy and midi based. however, whats your problem with dissonances?
anyway, thanks for listening!

Sick!

I like that first synth. It's really sounding cool!

Drums are glitched nicely, there's a bit too much reverb on the snare. You should pull a Phil Collins, resample the snare, and chop off the reverb tail. Hoover is a bit sudden, and plays the octaves too high up. You should use a lower octave. It's also a Sytrus preset... Try using a real hoover sample next time :P

I like the melodies that happen later in the song. It sounds really cool, and you get really nice reverb sounds there. The drums feel a bit too intense, and need a bit more high end, more texture, you know?

Overall, this was an interesting song! I liked it! Keep it up man! 9/10, 5/5

Suspended-3rd-Chord responds:

haha a phil collins snare is a great idea XD

drums are probably too intense, i probably shouldnt put a phaser on the entire kit and EQ it better indeed. I'll try using a hoover sample next time :D

anyways, thanks a lot for the intelligent review! I'll take your advice into consideration next time.

Not Drum and Bass

VEC Presets do not make drum and bass. Nor do crappy res basses. Listen to some pro drum and bass. It's all about the drums and the bass (which my friend aptly described as "eating his head").

The glitching is ok, and works, I guess. There's a lot of dissonance, though. Try to iron that stuff out!

Not bad for glitch, but not drum and bass. Period.

Joowna responds:

ok, will try some more research :D

thx for the review

I like...

Intro vox are nice. Sidechaining is cool. They are a bit too dirty, though, it doesn't feel right... Clean them up.

Kick doesn't feel right to me. It's too quiet. It feels like you low passed it, which you shouldn't do. I like the feel of a lot of the synths you used. They fit really well. I think a rhodes organ would be cool and would fit perfectly. You should try that :P

Overall, nice song, and I want to hear more of that snare at 0:30 in the fill... it rules! Overall, 8/10, 5/5

Nice!

I liked the first one of this... and now that you have Logic, you can actually start making GOOD music! :D

Get an AIM/MSN and talk to me. Navij11 or Navij11@hotmail.com.

The tune itself is nice. Drums need more punch, they should cut through the pads, rather than staying nicely behind them. Remember, it's DRUM and BASS, not PADS BASS drumsintheback. Overall, nice though.

9/10, 5/5

Nice One

Great song, it's really nice. Quality isn't too good, but the melody is nice. Try using something other than a synth guitar. It really doesn't work IMO. I mean, the melody is nice, try making a synth or something for it.

not bad, 8/10

JakesFable responds:

Allright ill try doing that, Thanks alot ;)

Not bad.

Reminds me of runescape wilderness music XD Speaking of Runescape, I should really download that music again.

Anyways, it wasn't bad, a bit short. It had some nice moments there, when the chords lined up.. they only did sometimes. It had a nice atmosphere. 8/10

JakesFable responds:

Thank you very much man this review was really apreiciated ;)

Ok, definitely getting closer

This is definitely a lot closer to what I meant!

I like your re-arrangement. I think the kick needs to be out in front more... the trance lead is pretty much blocking out everything else. Consider lowering it's volume. Z3ta, I assume? Yes, z3ta gets loud at times. Just lower the master volume of it, and it will do better.

Now, what you need to do is change up the overall dynamics of the song. A half-tempo break, break down to just the lead, just the drums, but switch it up, keep it changing. Volume is what keeps the listener interested! For example, you might break the song down completely to a single square. The intro is starting to do that.

Look around on OCRemix for some other tracks to show what I mean. They usually do a good job.

Haha, I remember reviewing your first song, you've definitely improved!

8/10, 5/5

Listening

Intro break feels old skool. I hope the track is... come on, pulsewaves plz? Huh?

Ok, where's the reese (bass)? No distorted saws fucking up some shit under phat beats? Damn, where's your style?

Anyways, dogsonacid.com for dnb help... This was certainly an interesting track. You did some nice things with the drums and it felt old skool. Some vocoding on the vox might have helped a bit. The drums should have felt a bit more dominant... try Multiband Compression for phattening. I liked this one, though. Nice and old skool.

Check my userpage (navij11.newgrounds.com) for lots of drum and bass links to help you improve. Keep it up, it's good that an artist on NG actually knows what dnb is... sorta. :)

8/10 for oldskool, 5/5

Haha, I was playing Echoes just today...

Anyways reviewing.

You didn't do too much. You kinda left it how it was, added instruments and a drum loop. No real inspiration here. You didn't really do anything to the song itself. This isn't a remix, as you didn't add your own stuff. More like a cover.

You used some pretty generic synths here too. Try to mix it up a bit if you are even going to do a cover in the first place. This track wasn't as moving as the original because it didn't flow. This song kept the same pace, no real dynamic movement to make the listener feel as empowered as the original. A lot of that power rests in the countermelodies, which were pushed far to the background here.

Try and work a bit more on your remixes, k? You actually need to do... something... for it to be a remix worth listening to, and to improve.

6/10, 5/5
