[DJRickster - ZOMG GABBER]

OMGWOW

HORRY CRAP DIS WAS SOME AWESOME GABBER I WAS RAVING IN MY SEAT 5'D CAUSE JOO EPIC WIN.

Lol, jk, it was slightly brimming with pure awesome, but it didn't fall flat. WHEEE...

[[GF]CelebTheSummer-Remake[GF]]

I LOVE YOU

This is amazing! Rob Mayth for the win! I love his song Slam Down, as it has amazing lfo work, but this rivals that!

My only issue is that the lead doesn't fit too well. If you have ever heard Slam Down, it has a lower, more complex, lead. You should aim for that, rather than this generic trance lead.

I can tell that it is not mastered, as the kick has some room left, but the mixing is quite excellent. You are definitely one of the best artists on Newgrounds..

Keep releasing more music. I am putting one of your songs on a compilation, because my friends love your genre of music. Really, you are awesome! Keep up the amazing work.

Also, if you have never heard Slam Down, send me an email at [e-mail], I'll send it over.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy]

Rockin...

You are the man. You win Newgrounds. In fact, you have already won Newgrounds. There is no turning back after the second page!

Awesome song! I loved the drums, I would have wanted them to be a bit more clear, as they were a bit muddy.

I love that square lead, it seems to cut right into my soul!!

You are the man! You have restored my faith in Newgrounds and made all the noobs happy. Thank you, oh god of all that is Newgrounds AP, for submitting this track.

The problem is, it only goes downhill from here >:). Once you have 2 pages, you must fill 'em all. Also, thanks for a full length track and not one of you "mini-tracks" you seem to love so much.

Did you master? Cause if you did, its a waste. The only one that will notice will be B0UNC3 and other artists. You could get away as a commercial artist if you did master. And I don't mean mix, I mean master.

Awesome song, you still win and rock forever. 5'd and downloaded and put on my professional electronica playlist!

[Fox- HappyCore Trance]

Well..

BAH PRESET SNARE!!!

Lol, Jk, jk, really. The snare is OK, but it really doesn't fit the actual feeling of the track. It is too loud, too sudden, too harsh. Get something softer.

WAHHHH!!! You need better transitions! That synth just comes in! There is no build, no real transition, just a switch.

Well, good song! Keep up the work!

[ZENON is gay!--_--]

NO!!!

Chronie is gay. ZENON is straight, I would know ;)

Also, I loled.

[[TMM43] PRESTO! {?}]

Nice!!

Great remix, I still have a few problems, though.

I think that lead overpowers. Slap a compressor on it and you will be fine!

The bass is classic, and nice! Really, that was a nice touch! It does go too low at times, distorting the sound.

The crowd cheering was corny, don't use it, unless you are GroundForce or B0UNC3.

The beat needs more variation, again. Use different percussive instruments!

Overall, nice job! Keep it up!

TMM43 responds:

Thanks for the review navij11.
The lead is kinda loud...I don't think I'm going to change it any time soon though.
I'm sorry that you felt the cheering was corny. I honestly am in love with the cheering sound effect, no matter who's or what song it is. I, personally, thought I did an ok job with the cheering. Guess not.
I just got Vengeance Clubsounds, and I'm trying out the new sounds on different songs, like this one. So you will have to excuse me for the lack of percussive sounds.
Well I really appreciate your review. I'm always up for some constructive criticism. Thanks.

[[TMM43] Happy Hardcore]

Nice...

Great work! I like the piano!

I think that the first entrance was a bit too sudden. It just came in, no automation, anything.

The beat was pretty plain. Add claps, snare, hats, anything to spice it up a bit!

I think it needed more supporting instruments, doing different things. It sounded a bit plain.

Overall, nice track! Keep it up!

TMM43 responds:

Navij11,
That's the way I wanted this piece to sound. I wanted to break out of the norm by making the melody and what not come in unexpected like.
Like I said in my other comment to your other review, I just got a new program and therefore am trying out new sounds. I WILL however work on the kicks, claps, hats, and what not.
Thank you for your review.

[[TMM43] Feel in Trance]

Interesting...

It was interesting...

I like the melodic work, but the lead could be better. What are you using? Try z3ta or attempt to make your own with 3xOsc, but that is hard.

The reverb effect was nice! Really, it made the drumming feel more full.

I didn't really feel like it broke during the breaks.

This was a good song. It just kept looping, I don't really know what to think of it! It is very unique! Keep it up!

TMM43 responds:

Thanks for your review.
I use FL 6 and FL7, I'm not sure which one I used for this one. I have z3ta+, Vanguard, and Vengeance Essential Clubsounds 2. The lead in this piece is a preset of VEC. I was messing around with it, and liked how it sounded in this song.
Thanks for your time and review! I really enjoy criticism!

[[TMM43] Heavy (?)]

Hey!

Well, since you seem to be reviewing everyone nowadays, I'll review you!

First off, this was not DnB. The drums are not complex at all. Try using sliced beats, or more complex drums such as 2-stepping, amen breaks, and others.

You almost got the bass. It gets loud at times, so you should use a compressor. You have the growling animal thing, but you should automate some filters, so the bass talks.

This was more like gabber than DnB. Some good Newgrounds DnB artists are ParagonX9 and Karbon. The best DnB artist here is API. He even got signed and is now a pro. Look at their stuff and try to replicate the drums.

Wait... I know what happened with the bass. Go to the sampler you used and uncheck the "use loop points" box. That will stop it from increasing in volume.

TMM43 responds:

Yeah, the guy under this review told me it wasn't a DNB...I'm sorry for putting this song in the wrong genre.
I wanted the bass to be loud. I'm really into loud kicks with loud bass, as you maybe able to tell.
I took your advice and listened to Karbon and Paragon, and well, I don't think I can make DNB like they can! haha. I'm not really a percussion person, I lean more towards the trance and techno feel.
Thanks a lot for your review! I will review you back!

[DJ Comet-Survivor]

Great, a bit repetitive

This was an awesome track! Again with the glitchy snare I grew to love and embrace.

This track was really good! I love how the glitch fits with the melody! Really, this track had a great melody!

My only issue was that it got repetitive. Four minutes of that one line and that one drumming can get really boring.

Otherwise, this track blew me away in its awesomeness (as most of your tracks do), keep it up!
