FUCK IM LATE FOR SCHOOL

whatever :)

the begginning is very unique man, i honestly never seen these notes coming. The synth is a little...iffish though.
y'now ive been meaning to review your shit and say that i hated the hell out of that clap, but i never got around to it.
so far its the only part that i hate.
The retro beat is...well...retro.
I think when you brought the melody in it could have more impact. Like say, a boom or something.
when i make music, i think its all good and then my bro comes down stairs and says 'dude i can barely hear the open hat'...
same here.
when the melody hits i can barely hear the open hi hat.
If this is supposed to be for clubs, i wouldnt have so many breaks.
You have the beat goin for roughly more than 30 or 40 bars, but then you just cut out.
bah.
this si CLUB man! the only time you should stop the beat is when the melody is coming up.
and you did.
but then you stoppped it again after that, which kinda bugged me...
this song is very trbly and shit, maybe its jsust your speakers and everything.

so, my summary:

synths: very impressive. i would kill if i could make synths like that.
arrangment: needs a bit of work...seems like your too used to making trance. the beat cant stop for too long.
quality: good job. no compressing problems or ANYTHING.

overall:

8/10

good luck with this song man!

Thx for the review, however this is only a club edit from the radio version.

ahh

so relaxing

:P

diabeticbunniducks responds:

Yup

punchy

and i love that.

whenever i make drum n bass, i have the mind set that it needs to be FAST.
but this song is only going at about 160-170 tempo, when mine are going at 195 min.
:/
w/e, that sounds good, cause then its danceable.
nice, simple drums, and simple breaks...etc.
but it fits so well!
the Acid synth that you used is very suitable for the name. Its punchy, and when the high note slides down to the low note, its isnt punchy.
its almost like you use 2 synths for it.
i doubt you did, but i ahve my cheaper ways of working things :P

The FX also fit DAMNED well, since the horn reminds me of 'warning'. The little indutrial hits of the FX that you have remind me of a gritty, hard fight.
I wish that i still had my 12 inch subs hooked up to my computer man....then i could judge you on how well u did the bass :P

great work man, and congrats on #3 in the portal!

malibaba responds:

my email is malibaba86@hotmail.com =D

i had to DL it to listen to it....

that made me a sad panda.

but, now to the song.
sorry, but a little too happy for my liking. the only kind of happy music that i like is happy hardcore.
and this sint really hardcore.
the quality of this song is kinda bugging me...it seems a little low.
but i like the main lead, actually.
the insutrmen has a little 'twang' feel to it, and its nice and buggy.
but work on the drums some more. maybe the drums are awesome and the quality is pulling it down?
i dunno

but i didnt hear an open hi hat in there anywhere...

but anyways,

good song, very original, but kind of overused FX (IE: master FX filtering down) btw, great song, cant wait till you make the full thing!

PS
Im remaking your song 'chilly' and its turning out to be pretty hot! ill e-mail to to you when im done it =D

malibaba responds:

thanks mate. im working on the song. wow i cant wait=D a remix of my own song thats cool...

i sense future skill.

the begginning to me, was very....excepting.
good.
but i hear a little D'cota in there which, in my opinion, you kinda over powered.
it was good, just needs to be a little quieter.
the song was quiet up until the melody.
wow.
great meloy with the bells! but in my opinion, im a drummer, so the drums need to be banging! expecially in a dance tune! make sure the kick has a clicky sound to it and that the clap is nice and smooth.
The diversity in this song overwhelms me.

this song is actually very, very good. But, you should try to make your own synths :P

i am digging this track man. good work, and that melody bell synth almost made me shit myself.
i like it alot.

so heres a few things you need to work on.

1: turn down synths, turn up drums. drums need to be more affective.
2: A better progression. i couldnt tell if the song was falling down or building up half the time. make a it a little apparent.
3: check out some ideal trance/techno/dance people in the AP that could help you out. check out their styles.

some people are:
me. (z3n0n)
theblackhawk
Jesseram
b0unc3
pandora_tranquil
Dimrain47
-API-
Oro

and many, many more.
just be sure to check them out!

oh, and....

welcome to the AP!

malefic-puppy responds:

thanks ^^

i'm currently working on another one...thanks for the advices ^^

still learning how to compress?

meh.
i dont compress my songs, to be honest.
i turn down the main volumne a little over half, and then i adjust the volume of the trk accordingly (cause i know ill have space) and then i have not limiting and ruining of sounds or synths, and then its a nice, pretty sound.

try that sometime.
as for the song in itself (i wont rag on you since it was done kind of....iffy as to comressing) the main string sounds nice.
very nice, actually.
the changing bassline trick is very common tho, but it works very nicely here tho.
this song is full of diversity, and yes, clearly a dance trk.
The kick was too damne soft.
turn down the synths, add a closed hi hat or something on the same times the kick hits to give it a click.
The octave lead was almost seen coming type thing, but hell, im not gonna be too fussy.
there. good song, simple, but good.

now as for the compressing part....
i think most of your trouble may come from your bassline, drums (mainly clap and kick) and the main leads.

fool around with those sum more.

DJ-Seri responds:

Lol, yes, your right ill try some of the advice, im onna be honest, the compressor is getting on my nerves. Trust me my next song willkick ass.

dont take none of this personally

since its just a review.

i see you know your theory very well....and im very sorry to tell you, thats all i can give you.

all your synths are presets in the FL 5 sytrus VST and the samples are FL 5 presets, and you didnt even FX the drums/piano.

it made it seem so...empty to me, when i hear those damned samples or presets again.

my suggestion:

find a site where you can buy techno/trance samples

buy them

try em out, it will make your songs 10X better, and another thing, try making your own instruments.

this is my first review for this account...

...so be honoured.
:P

i always noticed that on every thing you put a massive reverb.
can be good, but also may take away the realizim, but this is a VERY realistic revreb, so its cool.
This is a really nice break, that you have ater the tympani parts.
now that the beat breaks in...
i always have an issue with your snare, for some reason.
im a snare drummer in a band, and i know, for a fact, i woldnt be playing that quietly.
so just turn that up a bit...
For some reason i think that during the breaks, or something with halftiming it, you could put some hammered tubuler bells, just to add power, and foundation.
This, is, of course your greatest song, and it has completely blown me away, but, hell, im a nit picker :P

great song!

on turesday night, check out my account for my new track, Centaurion--_--(FULL)

thanks

XGM-Zeth responds:

Weird, On this one i actually got good feedback on the snare, except from you.
Oh well, First of all, I am honored :p

I dont have any decent samples of tubular bells, and the ones i download wouldnt be legal, or good.

-Im glad you actually liked the realism on this song, as that was what i focused mostly on, and the fact that it should be a soundtrack was my priorities.

-Thanks matey!-
