XenoxX responds:

LMAO

Thanks D00D!

[[Cyme] It's Easy]

nice sounding

All you need to do now is just make the kick louder and less flat with a more oomph and an oomphy bassline and you're good to go! :)
Also, try to slightly decrease the amount of sidechain and raise the volume of clap/hat.
Nice clap and effects btw. XD

Hey could you check out one of my songs? I would appreciate it, thx :)

Cyme responds:

Thank you very much for replying ;)

Thanks for the advice! This is the first time, I get some criticizm/tips from my listeners :) I will surely think of what you've said when I begin electrifying with the use of Fl Studio, as always ^^

I'll check out your songs immediately! ;D

[-E- The Drill2]

not bad

it doesn't sound housey enough, atm it sounds unmastered:

That lead saw that plays on a high C note constantly can get annoying because it's the only thing playing and it kind of cuts at the ears, choose a different instrument for that please. Fix the drums too because I can't hear the kick drum and the hat and clap seem abit presety. Also, try to add more stuff to go in the background, like maybe another bassline instrument/saw playing on the same melody as the current one and some background melodies, maybe an arp, maybe a pad in the background lol.

Although I do have to give you props for that rising pad effect @ 0:15 to 0:22, that was pretty cool. I hope I didn't batter you too much 0_o

All in all, I can definitely see you getting better at making house music; just keep working at it and you'll get better :),
in fact I made my first one afew days ago. Would you mind checking that one out please? It's called "Rainy Day", just go to my userpage and it will be there.
Thankyou

Euphy responds:

Nice review, it's ok. :)

[Argyros - Relapse]

legit

yo dude you gotta finish this, you have a great singing voice and I constantly listened to lets play pirates.
Have you ever considered going on itunes? make more songs with singing and words like lets play pirates and relapse and you'll be the next basshunter.

P.S. Would you mind checking out one of my newest songs? I make mainly dance/trance/techno and just afew days ago a house song. thank you

good luck getting famous (although not that you'll be needing it)
:) XD

Argyros responds:

It is finished, and it is on iTunes as well as Spotify.

Thanks for the kind words!

[[Fiji] Hold One Last Breath]

rating says all

I was getting ready to look for some constructive criticism but I guess I have none cause I couldn't find any; the drums, instruments, and vocal slicing were all cool. So I guess it's nuff said.
XD

MrFijiWiji responds:

haha thnx :), glad ur back

[|Never|]

good genre mix

well done, the strong kick drum and less than 140 BPM tempo as well as the sidechaining on the padsaw makes it house, the melodies and the padsaw it self make it trance, and the way the melodies sound.
One thing, the sidechained whoosh at the end (2:52) goes kinda offbeat as you get towards the last beat of the song (most noticable @ 2:54).
And that's my two cents for you. Keep it up, this song has potential to become something great.

5/5
9/10

Hey can you please check out my first house song? I would like some concrit from you also. Thankyou :)

kirja100 responds:

Thank you mate!!!!
I'm very glad :)
Ofcourse I'll check!

[20 Seconds to Comply]

very original

yo dude it's a good dnb song except try to unfilter your drums sometimes and also sometimes let them run the full 4 beat measure. That's about it.
other than that, everything else is good.
9 / 10
4.5 / 5 rounds to 5 / 5

Stroberider responds:

Gotcha! Yeah, this piece was a complete nightmare at times when it came closer to the post production because of all the clashing sounds and different leveling of frequencies while maintaining a good enough modulation. Thanks, buddy! And thanks for the nice constructive criticism...always needed!

[Until Sunrise]

great melodies

Just try to master it more; bring out the saws abit and raise the volume of the kick to make it sound punchy and more moving. Also I know you used platinium saw for one of them but choose something abit more audible.

This is just me nitpicking and being picky. Try these but if they don't work then just continue with the way it is.

5/5
9/10 bud
keep it up!

Indigorain responds:

Ok, thanks! :D
But I don't think I used a platinum saw.
I'll try to increase the kick, not too much, but I'll see what i can do :]
So you mean I need to increase the saw that has the same pattern as the intro? 'cause it's not really clear to me :P
But thanks very much for the review! :D

- I raised the kick volume a bit and brought out the saws as well :]

[Chimy727 -Jupiter Jump!]

all hands

I put my hands up in the air at the happy, united, spacey feel to this song.

5/5
10/10

Chimy727 responds:

Yay daveguy is finally reviewing me again! XD
thanks man!

[[DN] I Got Da POWA!!!]

great melody

I see potential for this song but just don't jump into the melody right away and add another layering instrument with the same melody in the 2nd part of the chorus. Save the melody for the 2nd part of the first chorus and then add the extra instrument in the 2nd chorus. Same thing you told me in your review :)

DanceNation responds:

ahh well... see, i dont really make dance anymore, as far as full tracks go, so i make short quickie tracks.
