[Wave Race: Mega Twilight City]

Lovely

Gotta love that oldschool Videogame Jazz. Nothing can beat it. I guess either jazz or videogame fits this the best. Anyways, the song is really nice. You do some justice, but while adding a bit of your own to it.

I think the lead was a bit too harsh for it, but still, I like the delay on it, and when the song cuts out and its just the lead, it sounds awesome. I think you should try adding a bit to the drum, and work on the bass. It was an octave too low, so it just comes out bad.

Overall good work. Keep it up.

Mr-Roc-a-fella responds:

The end was accidental I wanted the whole sone to cut out at the same time. I was also serching for a loud bass all the ones I found were too quiet. So I opted for that one. Thanks for the advice.

[Swing and Groove]

Wow

Very impressive stuff here. Since everything you say is improv, bravo, that takes a lot of talent especially on 3 different instruments. Nice drum playing. Its recorded well too. Good quality on all the instruments. The piano improv was really nice, but at times seemed to constricted and quantized.

The only thing, was the bass was way to wobbly. Not sure why.

Damn...

I love how every time i listen to one of your songs, I'm put in awe. Its happens very rarely on NG these days, with all the bland music coming through. Its really nice to see something different in the pool of genericism (is that a word?)

Really, that is a beautiful pad. Fatkid doesn't know what the hell he is talking about. The chord progression was awesome. Perfectly matched chords. I love the little lead twitches and bends. The lead as really metallic sounding, actually.

Good luck in the MAC. Hopefully you'll do good. I mean this is one of the few that excludes pianos and strings XD

VegetarianMeat responds:

Thanks a lot man, I'm really glad you liked the song :) Here's hoping we both do well in the contest :D

[Requiem For a Dream (DnB MMix)]

Been done many times, but not bad

Well this is a pretty cliched remix, but hey, its one of the better ones if you ask me. I'm no expert on the original song, but I think the melody sounds more sticatto, while yours was a lot smoother.

I agree with barnezy a bit about the strings. I didn't care much for the strings... or the lead synth either. The main beat going on was great though. That break sounds pretty familiar. Although it doesn't work good in the beginning when its slow. Also the glitching around 1:58 was pretty lame. But, I liked the stops around 3:10.

I think the main problem with this song is that the synths and pads, whatever, overpower everything else in the mix. Try playing around with volume on the leads, or do something so the drums are in front of the mix more.

Good remix, it was pretty interesting. Just work on it a bit more.

Mrmilkcarton responds:

I'll keep that in mind when I do something similar to this again.

[SpK*) - Crumbles]

lol techstep

Nice little loop here. the Rhythms were really nice. The nice breaks and fills were cool. My only problem with this, is that the drums stick out too much. They overpower the bass like crazy. I could barely here it.

So yea, anyways nice loop man.

[Father Of Death Drum Challenge]

sounds great

Sounds great dude.

I love those fills :D!

TimeBender responds:

you just made my day mr scientist

[{PBJ}Chapter Two{PBJ}wip]

Awesome Intro

Absolutely spot on intro. It is awesome. The drone-y tremolo tone in the beginning is awesome. How exactly did you obtain that sound? Lots of a reverb and maybe a delay? Whether or not, its great. Lately I've been experimenting with shoegaze type guitar tone (Ex: lots of reverb, delay, fuzz distortion, reverse reverb)

When the strum chords come in, I swear it sounded just like Godspeed You! Black Emperor. The drums start off okay, but the song just trails into nothingness. Considering it is a work in progress, that is going to be fixed.

I have not heard anything from you in quite awhile and it it sounding great. Finish this up and I'll take a listen and tell you what I think.

pitbulljones responds:

hey matey, thanks for the review. You're spot on with regards to guitar, flamenco on the string with two seperate deals and a massive reverb. 'Shoegazing' is definately one of my more promient effects of playing, delays and reversed verbs, it's finding the balance so it doesnt totally fill the audio spectrum. Glad you like the chord progression, it started out as a riff which as its self sounds awesome but chords work stronger me thinks. Yea it does peter out into nothingness, this is more the first section of the song, it'll trail off into more lead and a key change. Vocals will come in on the first guitar chord. Drums are just a guide atm, ezdrummer is fucking cubase up for me conflicting for some reason so just using fl for the meanwhile while i suss it out. Keep your ears peeled in the next couple of weeks as i will keep posting updates until the track is complete.

[Yun - I Kill For You]

Beautiful

Damn, what a beautiful song here. I gotta try and make something like this. Love that deep sub. Keep up the good work man.

[I Saw Frequency]

Sweet

Damn this track is fine. The pad is absolutely beautiful. Mellow and dreamy. What did you make that from? THe radio samples sound awesome alnog side everything. The beat is nice and crisp.

I think the bass could use some work. Make it do something. Its the only thing I thought did fit to well with the rest of the song. Still i fucknig great song. Make more now. :)
