[7 A.B Dr0p]

Nice

In many ways this was really well done. I agree that the kick was very nice, very intense. I liked. Also, you did do a great job mixing everything. But to me the song did take too long to build up. In my opinion the first half of the song was rather bland. I think if it built up a little quicker it would be better. That's just my opinion. Because the second half of the song is more complex and more intricate and it has more than just one or two notes in the first half.

So overall this was very well done! It almost has a Daft Punk feel to it (all you need is some weird robotic vocals :P). The only problem I have with it is the first half. Other than that, great work!

Keep it up

thanks for your advice i appreciate it

[Exfusion ~Hanorotu]

Cool

Im getting nice dark feelings from this... All I suggest is not using presets... Try downloading some VSTs (theres plenty of free ones), they are lots of fun and much better quality. Also, the drums need to change. They at least need to differ at points rather than being the same pattern throughout the song.

Overall this is a good song.
I gave you a 5/5 :)

hanorotu responds:

Thanks, I have been looking into some VST's. Hopefully I can find some that will meet my purposes.
Thanks again.

[Cyanide [Final]]

I like

This is pretty cool. Only have a few suggestions. First off at around 0:55 that string sounds like its off key to me. Also the song gets distorted at times, probably from too many instruments at once without equilizing.

Other than these minor issues, this song is really cool, especially the intro.
Well played.

Thanks for the 9 and the suggestions, I'll try to follow them next time!

[Twinkling of Hope]

Nice

I like it a lot. You have a lot of good things here! The intro is nice, and the build up throughout the middle of the song is great as well. The percussion is well done, as is the piano and bass. However I think there are a couple of things you could fix. First off, at 0:20, there is no transition. The song starts off dark sounding then the bass suddenly drops out and the piano is left with 8th notes. This sounds awkward. I would try adding a transition of some sort there. Also the song builds up for a long time then it just ends- I think the building up should lead to something more climactic, like another part of the song.

These are just my opinions.

Great job on the song overall, and keep up the good work!

PearlEssence responds:

Thank you so much for the review and I'm glad you liked it!
I'll definitely see if I can come up with a good transition for the beginning as well as maybe coming up with a more appropriate ending/climax if I can. Thanks for the input!

[Skela - Groovin' to]

Yes, yes it does

Nicely done! Awesome bass! Great drums! also nice intro. The synths sound great as well. This is probably the best dance song I've heard on NG, I would have to compare it to songs from Daft Punk and such, kinda has the same feel in my opinion. Just a couple of things bothered me- for one thing I couldn't hear the lyrics at all, I could just hear a voice barely... however I realize that this may just be a part of your style. Also, for a dance song it is very short. I would suggest expanding it.

Besides that, excellent work!
Keep it up!

Skela responds:

Yeah had some problems with getting a clear voice recorded.
Thanks for the review.

[In the hands of another person]

Nice start

This is pretty cool, especially if you were experimenting with style I really like what you have so far, and I think it's a great start. I realize this is a WIP, but I still want to note some things I noticed just in case. While you have some great melodies and such, I feel like you are leaning to much in the high frequency range. I heard some bass, but it isn't powerful enough. Also, the drums need more complexities, at this point they seem to simple. Especially at your climactic main part, they need to be CRAZY awesome drums if you know what I mean.

These are just some things I would look at as you work on this piece. Great job on the new style though, I think the intro is pretty tight.

Keep it up!

thank you. i will work more on this piece

[[sandordude]_TechnoMetal]

Cool

I like the beat, and I think the guitar works really well in there. I also like the guitar that softly chimes in with solo parts. I think you ought to extend this into a full song, you could do it quite easily I'm sure. One thing I might add is a bass guitar, and keep that soft solo going! It needs to be longer... I could rock out to this for a while :). but yeah, I also had a problem with the ending. If you extended this into a full song I would suggest an ending where the beats go away and then slowly instruments drop out over time. That way the ending is calm and relaxed and then maybe a fade out... but yeah the current ending is bleh.

Besides that, GREAT job.
Please do work on this. I look forward to a complete version.

sandordude responds:

Theres a guitar that replaces the bass guitar, i did even put a "only bass" FX on it..
thanks a lot for that long review!!!!! i'll try to finish it and make a song of it.. if i should have time xD (or energy)

[Conquer Distress]

Great improvement!

I loved this one even before the revisions, however the drums really add to it. Excellent job! I still think adding a bass would be a good move, but if you say it wouldn't fit, I'll take your word for it. I'll go ahead and say I can't find anything else to criticize... congrats xD.

Again, great work. You should be proud :)

Galestorm responds:

I tried some bass, as i said. But then it sounds not as good as without one. maybe I should download some new instruments. Ty for your comment. Ill try to make more of those.

[Don't Fall Again]

Excellent

This was really well done! Overall I love it. The drums are great, its an awesome beat, the reverb is a nice touch and good glitching. Also the bass is really solid, the piano is great, and overall you have awesome melodies.

The only thing that really bothered me was the intro, the piano part on its own sounded awkward. But once all the other parts come in, it sounds awesome. I would suggest revising the intro somehow.

Other than that, this song was INCREDIBLE.
Great work!

8/10
5/5 :)

Psy-nigma responds:

Thank you for the detailed review!

I revised the intro so that the piano isn't alone at the start.
thanx for pointing this out and helping me improve the track cause this will be on one of my albums I plan to release this year.

[bettter things in life]

Needs work

Honestly I believe this is a good start. You have many neat ideas and overall this is a great concept. However, there are several things that could use improvement. For one thing... too much reverb on the synth pads at the beginning (at least in my opinion). Also, the drums are extremely distorted. While using distortion on drums can create a great effect, this distortion was simply too much. Also the drum part at the end was overly simple.

And this song needs more! It's only a minute long, and it has so much potential! If it built up more and was a bit longer, it could be a masterpiece!

Please realize I was not trying to bash or slander your music. I am only providing suggestions and opinions as I see them.

Again, good work... but go back and work on it more!
