[DJ Mangoo - Eurodancer [Clean]]

Nice!

The song has a great eurotrance feel to it, and even though I have a feeling that this is a simple remix, it sounds nice. Since I have never heard the original, I cannot really coment :P

Good work, keep it up! It sounds pretty nice :)

D-A-J responds:

Heh ok... Well, since this is a "clean" remix, i haven't changed anything on the melody, just instruments... ;)

[DJ Zendai vs. Djipe - Ruthless]

Hardcore kicks FTW.

In the beginning, with the kic, that was the perfect setup for something that is sick and nasty. Or tasty. However you look at it :P

I think that a saw wave bassline would add a very nice feel to the whole 'dance' feel. The whiney melody that you had oing got very annoying very fast. Maybe if you changed the lead earlier on, then that would have added to the diversity and the overall enjoyableness of the track.

Good work, keep it up!

Yytrium responds:

Thanks for this review. I'm considering a dance remix... ;-)

[Still in the Clouds]

First thing that came to my mind is

Final Fantasy. Maybe you sampled something similar to it or something, I dunno.

The drums are very phat, and the only thing that needs to be there to make this song more full and groovy is a phat since wave bassline. Try adding that in your next song :)

Good work, keep it up!

The-Shat-Man responds:

Many thanks for the review... im glad you like it. I suppose it does sound like a final fantasy though I didnt sample from any of them. Its pretty much all from the free samples at loop masters dot com or something like that. Also, I agree with adding a bassline. Thanks again. =)

[.: Power Of Fusion Ultimate :.]

Very techno like

well, not the lead, but the drums are. The lead is way too trancey. The only things I'd like to hear in this song is more of a steady, rythymic kick, along with a solid defined snare/clap.

A bassline/pad couldn't hurt either :P

Good work, you did a good job :)

[Dreamerz: Machines Will Fall]

Very crowded?

The song itself is very powerful and kind of enjoyable, but this seems much more louder and uncontrolled than the last one... I may have a said 'make it fuller', but I didn't mean 'louder'. There are parts where the volume levels are simply, well, too loud. Keep EVERYTHING under control at every moment.

At parts it seems empty, and at others, it seems way too full and the parts that you wanna hear are completely drowned out.

Meh, I really wnana review some other songs tonight, so I'll leave it as that.

itsameyayo responds:

Lol, it could have rounded up to a nine, but I'm not complaining : )

-Yeah, it's crowded and loud, and then quiet, but I kinda meant it to be a decrease in action, so go figure that I might of messed that up : P

-Thanks for the review man!

[Pixies are with me]

Awwww

What, you said it was cutesy :P

Very smooth, traditional dance song. The rev crash at the beginning of the song fitted very well, even if the rest of the song came in on a time that was completely unprediactble to me.

The melody is very nice, but you should consider adding a lot of harmonics, even though they are there, you need to think of some more diverse melodics with the melody and bassline. An 8 bar melody would be nessecary if you want to achieve this level of drama, as they call it :P

Very nice though. Just watch out on the volume meter... try not to let it hit the red very much! If it hits red, turn down the instruments down a bit!

Keep it up!

AphelionX responds:

thanx for the tip...i will consider that for my future submissions

[Megatrex]

Different! :D

When the song started, I thought it was going to be an iffy song, which it honestly and truthfully is. Because this song is most definately unique, I don't think that too many people are going to like it, but I'm not those other people now, eh? :)

I'll tell you what I thought of it.

The bleep sound in the backround were great, they added a lot to the feel of the entire song as a whole. Would have been more awesome if the percussion was more steady, you know? Standard open hi hat/ride with a clap every second beat. I could see the beginning riff easily being turned into a eurotrance arp with an evil bassline.

You should try something like that sometime :)

Good work, keep it up!

-zenon

Lino responds:

Thanks for the awesome review!

[Teris Loop [WIP]]

Tetris...again... sigh.

Everyone has done a tetris remix at least once in their music career, and its getting quite old on me.

It would have been nicer if you created a melody of your own off the teitrs melody, instead of simply changing the synths back and forth.

Overall, you used nothing but presets, and you probably took the melody off of a MIDI. Oh well, at least the masterings isn't SO bad... still a little muddy though.

Good work, keep it up! Don't do too many remixes, though :)

-zenon

AnSpal1202 responds:

I know wat u mean about the whole remix thing, I just wanted to try it out anyways, I'll make sure I make a different beat, luckily this is only the WIP Beta Loop so I'll get a chance 2 make it better

[AnSpal - Terrorvision]

Techno, alright.

It lives up to its genre, but I have a few things to say:

The drums are too weak. Wheres the big pounding basskick and the savvy claps and open hi hats that make the people that hear it wanna dance? You need more than 16th note hats, man :)

Don't use sytrus too much, no lemme rephrase that... don't use the arping tool in sytrus. Take the arp off of it, and do it yourself. Modify the synths while your at it so you get a better sound too. Using sytrus presets = bad. Makes your music unoriginal.

Very nice work though, it wasn't painful to listen to, which is great :D

-zenon

AnSpal1202 responds:

Thanx Zenon, I'll take ur advice, that'll help my usic a lot, thanx again man 4 the advice

[SonicCD Quartz Quad -gf-]

Sulky indeed!

Your style of using drums/bass synths seriously reminds me of Infected mushrooms style... very nice.

Its almost identical to the other one, so just add what I said in the other one in this one :P

Keep it up!
