[Sandstorm Remix [R]]

"Sandstorm Remix"

I was never really a fan of Sandstorm; the original artist didn't put that much effort into the song. The bassline didn't go off on harmonic/melodic notes, instead it just followed the melody and the entire song was repetitive.

Meh. I hope you did a bit more than he did.

Well, the beginning was nice. Actually, I liked that sound you had going, and it fit very well with the high string. As nice as you had the sounds going the piano in the background doesn't... work. I'd love to say that I enjoyed this song but the piano doesn't feel like its ontune; I think you're playing a wrong chord :(

Its only something minor though, but try to fix it up if you have time. Keep this up and you'll be really good very soon :)

Could you review me and my buds song called "Vampires Dream"? We'd love it if you did :D

[Infinnion - Aluminium]

"Aluminium"

Cool beginning! I really felt like a bad ass with that stuttery bassline and those beautiful glitchy drums. This is like... the ultimate house song. I love it. A lot. I think you just got a download from me, and thats not very often :O

Very smooth song, awesome mastering, great drum work, and overall... AWESOME groove. Keep this stuff up, man! 10'd and 5'd; you deserve it!

Infinnion responds:

Thanx man 4 ya review man, I'm gonna check your audio soon. I'm now working on a new song with the same elements.

[Crazy Beats (RMX)]

"Crazy Beats"

Wow. This totally caught me by surprise. Awesome intro, awesome synths, great drum work for the song. This perfectly fits the genre Hands up! Awesome work.

The only thing that you can work on is your mastering. Put a compressor on each effects channel so the volume is moderated perfectly, and then turn down the instruments that need to be turned down. Since as good as this song is, there is a lot of clipping everywhere.

Great work! You are one hell of an aspiring musician! Keep this up, 10'd and 5'd!

Could you review me and my friends song called "Vampires Dream"? Its a lot darker than this song, but I think you'd still like it :)

[BassHunter's Tutorial Remix]

"Basshunters Tutorial Remix"

Very nice beginning. I liked the spacey synth you used, and you very beautifully melded into the kick/bassline riff with the soft melody. Since you obviously know what you are doing with trance, I'll give you one thing to work on: Make your drums more creative.

Sure, the kick/OH is a great trance thing, but when you have a drum break with your kick, do more creative things. 6/8 rolls, offbeat stabs, etc man. Be creative! Also, if you wanna fill up the background with some nice sliced up drums or something, that would just make the drums that much more ace, eh? Take a listen to DnB and Breakbeat songs to get a feel for more creative drum breaks :)

Great work, you did an awssome job. 10'd and 5'd :) Keep this up!

Dr-Dajova responds:

Well, what do ya say... I'm still a newbie to be too much creative xD Thx for the review, btw ;)

[Searching for the spacboy]

"Searching for the Spaceboy"

Very nice synth in the beginning. Set the mood for a funk song more than trance though, but I like both genres equally as much :P The acid synth is a bit powerful, you make it go to extremely high frequencies and then extremely low. You should keep it at a steady frequency where it doesn't move around too much and adjust the volume so it doesn't make peoples ears hurt too much.

The drums are good and techno-ish, this really isn't trance :) But, it doesn't really matter; I like both. This song is very nice with some great arpeggios and other misc. stuff :) Great work, 10'd and 5'd!

Triented responds:

Yo dude! Thanks for the review. I just got a new song in. Its called spaceboyrave.
Review it!

[Lost in Time]

"Lost in Time"

Well, its starts out rather nice with a soft synth arpeggio and some heavily reverbed percussion. The only issues I have so far is with the "bass" synth. Its a bit loud, which I can understand, so you can hear the piano part. But, you have to take in consideration the rest of the instruments. When you bring in the other instruments, the things that were quiet get taken out and the things that were loud are being taken over by things that are even louder than the other things.

Make sure that you make the right things loud, like... at this point, I can barely hear the percussion and all the melodies are crowding over each other. A bit better arrangment and volume control would fix all of that :)

Other than that, the song itself is very amazing. You did a great job. 10'd, and 5'd. Keep this up!

caffeinerush responds:

Big thanks for the 10 and lengthy review. I keep telling other musicians to do the same thing (make the instruments work together) and now I do the opposite thing. How ironic is that ;)

I'll check out your song in a bit.

[Feel-Good Paranoia]

"Feel-Good Paranoia"

That is one oxymoron of a name. Paranoia is a feeling that makes you queasy in the stomache and constately aware of your surroundings in an abnormal and unhealthy way, and the "feel good" part implicates that the said person enjoys the sickening feeling.

Excellent name, I seriously must tell you that.

To the song though; I like that equally as much. This is one hell of a piece of glitch/trip music. Lots of screwed up melodies and arrangments. I can't get over how diverse this is, and that is just what makes this song great. I love the distorted drum work and the demented piano and strings riffs. Amazing work.

I loved this song, to be honest with you. Keep this stuff up, its really neat :) 10'd and 5'd!

Could you drop by me and my friends audio page and review the song "Vampires Dream"? It'd be awesome if you could :)

baller9hundred responds:

thanks for the awesome review, bro, i'll go check out your song, i might have another new song up today, we'll see.

[300 B.P.M.]

"300 BPM"

Extremely low bit rate. You might wanna improve on the entire quality of the song, but other than that, its actually a pretty good piece of DNB. Just make the quality higher and don't change the tempo so dramatically through the entire song :)

10'd and 5'd, you have some serious potential.

Zenkiden responds:

The link wuz broken LAGATTO helped me make dis it wuzz my idea though.

[Staub]

"Staub"

Kind of catchy, in its own way. I liked the little stabs in the backround and the chior melody, but the bassline could have been more steady, you know? I don't like moving basslines that much (unless if its Goa Trance) because they sound kind of silly. Try to come up with a bassline that fits the key signature, and it makes your head bob :)

As for the drums, I wouldn't use FL loops. Try making your own drum loops; its much more fun that way! Trust me :)

You are gonna be good soon, I can tell you that. Keep this up, and you'll impress everyone here very soon. 10'd, and 5'd :)

Could you review me and my friends song, called "Vampires Dream"? We'd appreciate it a lot if you did :)

mistahmoo responds:

Hey, thanks for the review! I'm glad you appreciated my hour of effort. You're right, I should make my own drum loops more often. But it's so hard...You really think I can get that good? We'll see, I guess. As for your song, sure, I'll do that right now.

[Mesmoristic]

"Mesmoristic"

Quite the title you have here. I had to wrap my tongue around that one :P

This is a very nice song, to be completely honest with you. The only thing I don't like about it is the contrast between the synths and the drums. The synths are great and smooth (perfectly executed too, by the way. Great work there) and the drums are glitchy and... dirty. Almost sounds like they are distorting a bit. They would sound a lot better if they were turned down a little, since I actually like the feel that they add to the song.

Great work! I'm gonna have that melody stuck in my head for a while :D 10'd, and 5'd.
