[Submergence - Elixir]

wow

You have got some talent here sir. I was mindshocked by this. You have probably made plenty of money off of your music now sir.
Good Job!
I like how the drums go for 3/4 16ths in the beginning instead of how general trance songs have the drums going all the way through. Very creative! I hope you understand what I just said there lol haha.

I like the melody you used there too. I like everything you used in this.
YOU just got yourself:

10*points
5/5
+1 fav
A DOWNLOAD
Some food, water, cookies, and shelter to keep you going through your journey on this weeks top 5 which is where this song deserves to be.

Submergence responds:

Thanks for the great review!

[PureX (Final State)]

cool

for firsts, intro was too long, should have brought the kick drum in earlier in the song.
The bass was too high pitch, you need a low bass pitched bassline in a dance song. I had troubles with that ones haha. The drum track sounded cool, except the kick drum was not nearly powerful enough. It was sorta missing something too. I dunno, it just felt like it needed something else.

Although it is a good start, It's an 8/10 for now.
Hope I didn't give too much con-crit lol (constructive criticism).

On the bright side, the melody was cool and the voice got me interested again.

=)

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad song.

DavidRx responds:

no no not at all =D i need reviews like this thx man ^^
yea the intro is to long...soo many can lose intrest and actualy close the page or something D= xD

hmmm low bas u mean like...instead of a C5...i put a C4 to blend in? yea it would give some more bass n power to it =D

kick drums...yea ima start put layers of kicks and EQ's =D
so i can get the sound i want and get em whit POWER =D RAAAWR x3

xD

many thx for the Con-Crit dude =D helps me a bunch...i hope u pm me about the cristmas track or ill will DOOM U D= xD
haha jk...

thx for the review yet again

DrX out

[[RM] - Night Time WIP2]

sounds cool

congrats on top weekly 5, One of my constructive criticisms is that I see you put like a soundgoodizer thing on the bass, so it doesn't sound low enough. Or at least I think it's a goodizer. Maybe just add another bassline and keep one there rather than replacing it with a lower bass.

The kick drum is good although it may be unnecessary, just maybe raise the kickdrum by abit, but you don't have to.

the synths and melodies were good Not too repetitive so that's good also =).
I liked that piano that was on a fast delay. good job!

I like that bongo sounding synth that was just the star of it all. Without that it would sound kinda boring.

One thing else I noticed was a slight phasing on the bass. That was just totally cool.
keep it up bro!

This is areally good song and I just can't wait to hear the full version of it. congrats but sorry at the same time that the unfinished version had to make top weekly, although it is ALREADY worth being on the top 5, no doubt about that.

Randomizor responds:

Thanks Dave! =3

[_/Slip Away\_ (ng cut)]

sigh=)=)=)=)=)=)=)

A better version than last ones. I say this one isn't even offbeat either and I can see you put a slight flanger to it as well. My favorite part was with the deep bass.
This one is a 5/5 11/10 compared to last ones. Good job. I really don't know what to say because it will just come out with me yelling out how good this song is. =)

ShootingStar responds:

Yay :P haha yeah, you kinda influenced me to try out a flanger :P
Thanks for the review!!

marching band

very good for when america won independence, or when us blacks got our rights.
Very good for when an army won a war or was going off to war or something to do with political/military and freedoma nd stuff. Very good indeed! Just try not to waste all of your cymbal claps.There are too many of them in the song.
You should continue with classical music. You are actually good with it.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Thnx for the review! Yea, this song is very victorious. If you read my previous review response, you will see the history of this song. I agree, the cymbals were a little much, but my next classical piece is going to be a lot more mellow.

[SN| Riptide Projection |SN]

wow

yes I can tell you are beyond experienced with effects and making music. You should sell someday. It is a mixture of both ambient and dnb YES you're right!.
What I like best about this song is how it just changes mixing effects like every 2 bars and it is just so cool! great job! This could actually be better than paragonx9 DnB who knows.

KUTGW =)

i am better than px9

[2012 Apocalypse (loop)]

sounds like 2012 to me.

It sounds AMAZING like there is so much chaos going on like everyone is having a dance party before the astroid hits earth and causes another ice age.
My suggestion for you is that in that in the 29th second of your song, it should break out into a strong compressed kick with the melody still going and a bassline with a fitting hihat and a fitting clapish sound. I hope you understand what I mean.
You seem to be experienced at making music with all of the effects you are using.
great job! hope to see the full version out soon.

georgem124 responds:

Unfortunately I have not seen the 2012 film, I am simply running off my knowledge of the mayan calendar and the 2012 apocalypse book.

I understand what you mean... (:

This may or may not turn into a full song, I am not sure yet.

[_/I wish you were here\_]

cool!

my only problem is that farty bass that "sounds" distorted. Make it less farty thats all. Very good work. Nice melodies and I like how the song keeps the listener interested for what will come next. You should stick to dance & trance music for now on because you seem to be getting the hang of it. trance you are great at. Dance you are AMAZING at (notice rixet).

KUTGW

ShootingStar responds:

Haha :P Thanks for the review!
And yeah, I really need to fix that bass :D

ShootingStar

[_/Slip Away\_]

um..

not some of your best, it just sounds out of tune thats all. but i really like all of those effects you put in there. Just try to make the music flow because I can't seem to keep with the beat. It seems somewhat repetitive also. But the mastering is good and the instruments you used? LOVELY, but everything else needs improvement.

4/5
7/10 for now buddy.

=)

ShootingStar responds:

Haha.. so i will definitely change up those intro chords.. but thanks for the review!!

[Chimy727-D@NCE Time!]

yep

you sure nailed it this time. I am satisfied with this song. It is a happy melody sorta like your userpicture with that one smiley face. Keep it up. I can tell by all of the effects that you spent alot of work of this. It is really good! great job!

Chimy727 responds:

thanks a ton, and if you will, please rate it! i have 18 listens and no rates!
thanks again!
