so dirty

it feels like my insides are being turned inside out

idk if i can handle it

you always find that perfect boundary between clean and dirty for your songs and this one was just so filthy but i loved it

its really hard for me to pick up on any of the problems with this song but, honestly it doesn't matter that much to me because i'm sure you already know what they are and that you could fix them if you wanted to

i just want to say im very proud to even know you. you have successfully created your own style of dubstep and you are amazing at it. this is top five quality easy. you deserve a lot of respect for being able to do this. please for the sake of those of us who love music, continue to make music.

Solkrieg responds:

Thank you so much :D!

I shall continue to make music!

[Argentina]

here we go

for a house song i can say you will have to make some more progress to really develop your style of house ( lol house jk )

the clap needs to come down and you need to stay away from using white noise synths so much

house can be tricky because a lot of people think the drums are supposed to hit harder but in reality its just the bass that gets more emphasis. increase only the bass parts of the drums so it sounds a little clubish and you will do fine you can fine tune it to your preference after you can understand what you need to do.

the white noise in a house music is nice especially for a more relaxed and inspiring house song but, be careful not to over use it because it gets old fast if you do. you leave the listener thinking "why doesn't this guy do something new?" and thats not what you want is it?

Cobaliptic responds:

Yeah, I know that I used the white nose very often, at that time I didn't have any sort of uplifters samples or any ideas to make my own :(.

But i'm working on my 3rd house, and I have found a super pack with awesome drum samples made for Electronic music, with awesome uplifters, downlifters, Impact samples along with crashes and OMG. so yeah. :D

My 3rd one will be way more cool ;D

[Walkin' Towards Some Dreams]

ok here we go

for concept 10/10
i like the direction this piece went its calming and relaxing. makes you feel good inside yaknow.

development 9/10
i really liked the song as far as the different parts it had. each section was very beautiful but, there could have been some more progression. as you listen to specific parts you just start wondering when its going to move on and thats not what you want your listeners to think.

construction 9/10
everything was pieced together smoothly there were not any odd loose ends on the sections and the transitions were flawless but, the sections that carried on too long without development should be fixed.

quality 8/10
first off the strings in the beginning could've sounded more realistic there was a few mastering issues and the song needed more dynamics.

creativity 9/10
i can tell you didn't just slap this together there is some real emotion in here and i appreciate it. a lot of songs on ng are very empty if you want me to listen to any of your other songs please tell me

Stavier responds:

I like the variation in this review. Sometimes I get reviews like these and sometimes I got small reviews, but I like these kind. Yeah, didn't wanna make hype or anythin', just nice. Yeah, I agree, I didn't add so much, but the project is actin' goofy so IDK if I can update. I only made some longer cuz if someone raps to this then I want them to add a good amount of lyrics. I accidently made the hi-hats a lil' too much, but like I said, the project is a lil' goofy and I agree, the strings are actin' weird, I think I may've put slow strings rather than full strings. Mmmhmmm, I worked hard on this one, I always all effort. Thanx for the review!!!

[Encounter (SEI)]

so..

i think this one needs some work some of the instruments just dont work and there is some problems with the flow of the song

there could be a little more progression and a bit more melody change

i do like the concept a lot though it can definitely go somewhere

Seifire responds:

Thats understandable. I felt like the flow sounded a bit forced instead of natural and i was having some trouble altering the melody change so i just submitted it.

[Fire (Elements)]

very relaxing

but personally i think the dnb parts of the song couldve been reinforced a bit

the bass was not very strong at all and the drums couldve hit a bit harder and played a bigger role themselves

Cobaliptic responds:

You're absolutely Right!

This is my very very first attempt at making a DnB song, and i'm a kind of DJ that focus a lot on putting a lot of details and Everyting in order to make the song look completely done, no holes etc. And playing with such samples (drum, Mid Lead, Bass, Piano at the end) was very difficult ^^. Remastering was really a pain in the ass and I think, even with the not that loud drum and Bass, I did a good job :o .

You should stay tuned, because i'm soon uploading some of my first steps in House Music! ^_^

[AuruxBlu - You Complete]

well

i liked this it was quite uplifting

the intro was very interesting because it had a different feel but when you get to the main song it cleans up nicely

AuruxBlu responds:

Thanks, appreciate it

[Ice Pop]

i liked

this its very dancy and uplifting good job

i didnt like that string synth you used though it just didnt sound realistic enough

megawolf77 responds:

Thank-you very much!

And I agree with you. The string synths I use were sounded too fake. My bad.

Thanks again!

[**Zelda's Lullaby**]

this was really pretty

i never heard lyrics to this song before

are these lyrics original lyrics or did you make them

either way if thats your voice then may i say you have a very pretty voice

its very soothing and peaceful

makes me want to take a nap :)

VGSongbird responds:

The lyrics are original.
And yes, those are my vocals ^_^
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed them.

Now go take a nap :D

[Chaos This Time and dont wine]

add some

more builds and dynamics

it also sounds like it needs a second melody some kind of 8 bit chip tune thats fast short to help pick up the song and help it feel like its going the speed it is does that make sense

very good composition and its organized well too
tell me when its done

The-Cockenator responds:

well made it longer and yea its not going to be any longer soon im making new sounds to fit in but it takes time ;) but here is the longer version
