[Aggregator Assault - 1]

its short and unevenhtfull you need to put more effort into your music. other people like me who actually make music can tell that at least for us this song would take 5 to 10 minutes to make. think about it like this. for every minute you spend working on a song ng will generally give you 1 second of their time

Insanctuary responds:

I agree; which is why 1) It's a 'very' short demo, 2) I was asking for advice, because this is how confused and stopped up I am in this genre. I wanted tips and ways to expand. I didn't want you to say it wasn't expanded enough -- I want to know how I can expand it enough.

[[GrayZ] Sytrus Trance]

ya know you have this horrible habbit of making an amazing song but then keeping it short making people like me sad because they want more but no its over :(. your music has always been great its been a long time since ive heard any of your stuff. do us all a favor and never stop making music

GrayZ responds:

Haha i'll try, after xmad i'll be making my comeback. :)

[-YRX- GrooveDaddy]

ya know i think there is too much reverb on the piano. in the beginning its ok but later when the other instruments come in it doesnt fit quite right especially when the piano gets more complicated near the end. i do like the composition and the flow. i feel like this song shuld have asian instruments in it for some reason. oh well. the style of the music reminds me of the music in the epic battle fantasy series

YouriX responds:

Huh? Thats kinda wierd i didnt add any reverb to the piano. I geuss the preset had to much on itself. Either way i'll have to watch out for that in the near future. Thanks for the heads up! And about adding asians (shamisen) instruments could enhance the song. But i dont want to overuse that sound either. I already made 3 songs with a asian instrument :P

Anyways thanks for the review ;)

[Super Fun 3 [MSB]]

this was really good. i can really tell you enjoyed making this song. a lot of times i wish there was more stuff like this on the radio. a lot of hip hop these days is either dramatic or has too much rave in it.

GrantBowtie responds:

Thanks man!

[Sunrise]

17 second song? really? aside from it being extreamly pretty and relaxing its 17 seconds of it. what exactly was your idea? hopefully you make this longer because it is very nice. its nice enough to know that you know what your doing so why 17 seconds? idk maybe you just wanted peoples opinion but with the skill executed you don't need a second opinion. sorry just please make it longer. when people submit things that are under 1 minute it makes me feel like theyre lazy.

SiriusEmission responds:

I would like to continue this but i have no idea what can i make. I'm going to save this project...

[The Others]

ya know this song actually sounds pretty main stream if thats what you were going for. the progression was fairly predictable but thats not really a problem. there were some good melodies in there. i also liked the harmony. the harmony was quite evolved not just a plain harmony so thats appreciated.

SuperGoodSound responds:

i want to make ze commercial musak so i can getz za monies

[ermahgerd cerds]

sounds like your useing a side chain and it works. what i feel this song is missing are drums. if you put them in i cant hear them. you should put a heavy bass drum every time the side chain hits. the song needs to be longer. house songs are longer >:( make it longer! house lovers like me get disapointed if the house song is under 3 min.

Directinput responds:

this isnt even a song aha. it was just some chords i didn't know what to do with. i may add more to it in the future.

[Laid Back]

so i liked the melody in the song but it felt like it was missing something. i don't know for sure but it just feels like it lacks something. maybe adding a counter melody or making the harmony more advanced would pull it together. i liked everything about it it just feels like its missing something sorry.

DJ-Grapefruit responds:

Thanks for the review, I always appreciate that :P
I don't really know what to do about that, but I might give it a try :D

[Tuesday]

for some reason it eels more like a saturday to me :P
really though i like this a lot good progression good melody good emotion.

SamMattimore responds:

haha :P thanks dude :D

[Rise In Lies (Original)]

ok a couple things. i think your cleans could use some work. i also think that your drums could be stronger and more supportive of the drops. i love your drops there different they stand out while beside other dubstep songs. different is good different will take you further. don't let someone tell you that you need to change your style.

Kruizy responds:

Thank you! :)
