its classical but it has techno elements which make it really easy to get into

Gravey responds:

ya know

if you send each one to me ill be sure to review each one and cheer you on along the way

i cant imagine making a song every day

try not to milk yourself dry of creative juices

its part of the reason why a lot of mainstream music isnt as good anymore

i like this song its calm but it still moves quite a lot

it puts you in that feel good mood

Michael425 responds:

Haha thanks for the support man. I'll try not to run out of ideas. I'm hoping this project will do the opposite and give me more ideas. We'll see.

Thanks for leaving a review. I'll make sure to keep you updated.

[[--Eternal Beginnings--]]

ok here we go

so there are some really good parts and some bad parts

you need to build to the drop a little better and you need to make thew drop a tad more agressive and cut the break after the drop by like half also after the drop it has to hit a bit harder

the medly after the drop was nice but it needs to be cleaned up its a little sloppy

the rest was nice

DJM00se responds:

i guess, but it's a song that i sampled from a record, a classic id say and you called it sloppy. but constructive criticism is good!

[[--Asian Vibes--] WIP]

its too short

its too short and it needs some better eq

i know this is supposed to be rapped over but even for that its a bit too repetitive

think of this like a good intro

DJM00se responds:

bro its a WIP and just a loop, so idk why its getting the "needs better eq, too repetitive" treatment. anyway thanks for the review!

[[--Lonely Times--]]

really good

i think that in order for this to be rapped over effectivly after the beat comes in (which is really nice) the vocals have to be cut after a measure of it repeating again

you can also have it fade in near the end of the song
think about the song lonely by kanye west

DJM00se responds:

yeah sounds like it would work good for some but worse for others. some rappers rap over vocals and it sounds quite good. but i see where youre coming from. idk how i will cut off the vocals since its a sample. ill have to either create one myself or find something in the song to sample from.

[[--Asian Descent--]]

ok well

i think it had a good steady beat and good concept i think the vocals were too loud if it is going to be rapped over though the ending didnt sound either it just cut off and it didnt sound good that way the rest was good

DJM00se responds:

yeah i should fade that ending out. the vocals are good for a rap, seeing as how its been done before plenty of times by pro;s. thanks for the review!

[-YRX- Durain Spiked Fruit]

hmm

i think that the melody needs more progression

i know its dnb but the melody just seems empty the dnb is great as usual but a lot of your dnb tend to have the same kind of feel in the dnb parts of the song

id really like to hear something new, something thats not so similar.

hearing it used so similarly in a lot of your songs gives it that main stream feel and i dont like that

i want to experience some different stuff from your music

YouriX responds:

I get where your going. You should hear my other song Enjoyable Fruit from my bandcamp account.

I sometimes against my will, go into this habit of doing the same thing. I try to break it sometimes i succed sometimes i dont nevertheless most of the time i am content with the results.
Thanks for the review ;)

[N/A - Game Over]

you see

i think that this song is really empty and i dont know if i could call this dubstep

its not horrible but it needs a LOT of work i wouldnt call it a song at all
at least its not the worst thing on here this week

as for concept and potential it has enough but you really didnt take advantage of that now did you

try learning how to make your music progress that should help a little

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Aight I've decided to make this review an example. For those who care I do read your reviews.

If you are going to review someones song lets first start off by not insulting the producer/writer/composer's intelligence.

"i think that this song is really empty and I don't know if I could call this dubstep" - who died and made you in charge of genres? Dubstep is a genre and this is a STYLE of dubstep much like Electro house is another form of House music.

I'll also address this, "I think this song is really empty" - I'm not sure what you want from me here. Is it my mix? Or just the overall instrumentation? Your lack of information is why no one gives a damn about reviewing on newgrounds because the lack of knowledge is fantastic.

"It's not horrible but..." - Don't try to sugarcoat me, I know you don't like the song trying to be my friend isn't going to help you.

"I wouldn't call this a song" - I wouldn't calls this a review you hardly tell me whats wrong with the song and don't back it up.

"As for the concept and potential it has enough but you really didn't take advantage of that now did you" - Take advantage of what? If you think I can take advantage of something then obviously you have an idea that you did not express in the review.

"Try learning how to make your music progress that should help a little" - I'm not retarded. I'm well aware that my bass holds one note and sustains that note because the bass unlike many songs is constantly changing. This is because it's the fucking feedback from a guitar cable.

If you want to know the form of my song its ABAB'A. I had more of a background song in my mind not a put on your iPod and listen to it all day kind of song.

TLDR: If you are going to review a song please don't talk down to me like I don't know what I'm doing. Just tell me what you didn't like and how you would fix it.
