[MMBN4 - Asteroid Comp]

holy shit

Sorry for shortness but I am on my wii.

1 thing to say - mmbn4 is the greatest game of all time. I have beaten mmbn4 red sun over 7 times now. I have all the standard chips and most of the mega and giga chips. I have beaten Bass many times.

You made an awesome remix of a song whose midi is rare. Good job.

Only issue is default Fl Studio drums and bland synths. Get z3ta for more action.

EliteFerrex responds:

My only gripe with MMBN4 is that they took out Style Changes... I mean, hey, I like the Soul idea, but as for me... HeatGuts Style forever! XD

[StereoTactik's DnB Tutorial!]

lolawesome

Wow Willie! This was so awesome that I am going to review it on my wii!

First, 8th grade power! Blah, tinny voices unite! Get the talk software to work with windows >:(

Well, the drums were different from what you showed me over AIM! Where's the 2-stepping?!

Anyways, 'twas interesting. The pitch increasing on the amen break was smart, but does the amen break go on top of the original rhythm?

Overall, nice guide, a bit psycho at the end, though. Typed on my wii, oh yeah!!

StereoTactik responds:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[4 sec loop!]

Blah...

It is a short drum loop. It doesn't even loop correctly.

Next time, try to use different instruments other than presets.

Try adding a synth. Sytrus is good for beginners, and you could use 3xOsc, z3ta and others when you get more advanced. Keep playing around.

Also, I answered your question in the FL help thread.

super-fyr responds:

I Know, I was Just playing Around :)

[KDL2 - Dark Castle (Fix?)]

Good Job!

I liked it! I can tell you have some potential to become the next Chronamut or XBrav (famous VG remixers).

I like the blend of synths! What VSTi do you use? I like how they are layered.

I also like the use of filter automation. It adds some cool effects to the song.

I was disappointed, however, at your use of FL preset drums! Naughty, naughty! Get some samples or make your own drums in Sytrus!

Also, I have some good 8-bit synth recommendations. Get Toad from tweakbench for a classic NES drum synth. Also, magical8bitplug is the greatest VG synth I have ever seen. Google it.

Nice remix, 9/10! Keep it up!

EliteFerrex responds:

Thanks, bud! I actually do have magical8bitplugin, but I'll check out the "Toad" thingymahoozit. Thanks for the input!

[Zasyyt The Flute Player #2]

Nice!

It was a very interesting song! It wasn't what I was expecting when I saw the name!

I like some of the drums, but the beats are very simple. I guess that is OK in trance.

I think some of the synths could have been better. A few were boring and simple. I do like melodies and blend though!

Keep up the good work!

DoobyTimePiece responds:

for a first successful trance song procured by the MG2 i was impressed and thanx for the review i hope when i get FL studios that ill be dropping more complex beats.

[~EnV~ Heaven]

Great song, misleading name!

The name brought me to believe it was the remix of that other song.

After listening, I realized that I had heard a little preview of this before!

I love how the bass does the downslides. It is very new and original.

I think your breaks are a bit too sudden, but then, they are very nice and light, just like a break should be.

I think your use of filters was great, I love that ravey synth you used! Was it a sample, or 3xOsc like B0UNC3?

Overall, really good song, I await more.

Envy responds:

Hahah yeah, I forgot about that other song.

breaks are too sudden, but it was kind of intended to be a jumpy song.

Funny that you mention B0UNC3 cause I was originally trying to remix Distorted reality, then gave up and this baby was born.

Nope, its not 3xOsc... I only used 3xOsc for the bass. I donno what you mean by Ravey synth... You mean the saw? Cause thats nexus...

And the slidey synth is Vanguard.

Thanks for the review!

[Can Opener]

Odd Name, good song!

Well, this is a can opener song? Its not really what I think of when I see a can opener. It sounds like ghetto techno to me, its interesting.

I like the weird sounds that bleep at me, but I don't really like the drums. They are not really varied. The kick at the end is a bit weird. That might have just been me imagining it.

Well, thanks for reviewing my track. I hope your can opener isn't too weird.

Syntrus responds:

thx for stoping by

[~EnV~Heaven{Preview}]

Hmm, interesting!

Wow, you have some really uniques elements here, and some really good things! There's also a few minor problems, but it seems pretty good.

First, the initial drum introduction is a bit too sudden. I would have used a volume or filter automation clip.

I really love the downward sliding on the bass. It is INTERESTING and NEW, unlike other trance songs.

I would advise making the drums more complex, they do not seem all that varied. You should add more interest to the drum part.

This is a really good song, so far! I'm viciously awaiting the full release (Grammar?)

9/10

Envy responds:

Yeah, I was trying to get the song to kind of jump together rather than flow, cause it's supposed to have a jumpy feel. The sliding is just what it sounds like... Slide tool ftw ^.^

[[GF]Lost-In-Translation[GF]]

NICE!!

YAY! First review!

I like the drum work, even though it is a bit generic. The drum samples are really good. The synth is also nice in the beginning.

The break works well, and it is smooth and doesn't just cut everything off. The build then is also good. The main synth is good too, although it is slightly generic.

Then, after the break, the next section is really good. I like the 1337 new synth that kicks in after. It sounds a bit like the trance synth preset for Sytrus, but I know it isn't as it has some other qualities.

5/5 10/10

[The Legacy of Big Blue]

Hmm...

Well, you asked. I can't say it measures up to Paragon, as it doesn't. You don't understand the complex things involved in true DnB. There is no stepping rhythm, no awesome gritty bass, nothing even comparable to PX9. The drums are also electronic, so it can't be DnB.

Now, for the song. I liked it! I have always been a fan of Capt. Falcon, so it was a blast from the past for me!

Some of the synths are nice, but it is too plain, too boring! It lacks diversity, but it was certainly an original idea.

It was OK. Not worthy of a download, but close. Keep trying!!

CyrusOfNaias responds:

Thanks for the honest response. I still have a lot to learn, but looking at the path behind me, I think I did way better than when I first started, just like PX9.

You can trust me, I'll keep tryin'!
