[xKore - Hello (Prev)]

hahahahah

I can't help but laugh when I hear the "Hello" clip. I think you understand why. Other than that, this is just another typical xKore song, nothing special. Come on xKore, when are you gunna make a crappy song to make us all feel better? lol, seriously though, this is awesome. You need to set up your own website and sell your stuff. Have you ever done live shows? You would be an instant hit. Great work once again.

[Liriodendron Forest]

I like it.

The intro synth has a nice happy, almost celebratory feel to it. The whole thing almost has an 8-bit sound, which is cool. I like how it keeps progressing, and doesn't get stale. I'm sure you're aware there's an odd pop sound at the very start, not sure what that's about. I think this would do very well as a victory, ending song for a game, or a credits song to a happy ending. good work.

[First Cognition]

Very relaxing, and kind of somber.

This is just in my opinion, but the piano is too bright. If you could find a way to make it warmer, or just use a different piano instrument entirely. When the synths drop in, I really like the beat. It gets a little too heavy at times, I feel like the harmonic distortion and off-tuning of the lead synth is a little overdone. The second piano solo bit makes a nice change, but I feel like the transition to the third piano solo is a little abrupt. Overall, good work.

[{dj-N} The O]

i wasn't impressed at first...

But knowing your work, I decided to keep listening, and I'm glad I did. That was pretty gat dang awesome. Great work. The piano bit was unexpected, but it worked. haha. I would love to dance to this is I had space in my room. lol.

dj-Nate responds:

Haha I know, the piano is something that will be in the final mix.

[House Man Hero]

pretty cool.

My only complaint is that the vocal clips are a bit too overbearing, if they blended just a little more smoothly, that would help a lot. But good work with the rhythm and sound of it all.

[DJ Beswit - Hollywood (OM)]

Cool

But the vocal tracks don't really fit sometimes, sounding off beat and out of tune just a bit. That could be easily fixed. Other than that the rhythm and sound of the synths is very cool.

NanvanNoord responds:

Thanks for the review.
I agree.

[Let's Go [My 2nd attempt]]

cool ideas

But they need to be structured a bit better. It kind of sounds like you kept switching between instruments, if you could just stay on one solid section for longer that would help. The natural guitar you used at around 0:20 sounds a bit too loud, and raw. Some reverb would help that. You could also use some work with EQing amd mastering. Other than that, you have some skills that have the potential to be developed further. Keep up the good work.

AxelFar responds:

Thanks man, love when people comment to help me out
this is just my second song, i have much to learn, thanks
yeah, the guitar is even too high, and i will try the EQing mastering
and you are right about in the instruments, i will try!

Thanks Again.

[|\||_| Am I Deadmau5 Yet?]

Nice

I like the chorus on the snare drum in the beginning. But I felt like some of the power was lost once the beat drops. Cool chord structure either way, and nice movement throughout the song. Not quite Deadmau5, but very good. haha.

Numi responds:

Thanks for the kind words :D I know it's kinda.. weird.. it's my first try at house. Ever. Good learning experience though!

[ElectronicBeat]

Really nice.

Cool rhythm, really makes you want to move even though I can't dance. haha. It does get just a little boring though, maybe going in a different direction, give it a change. A bit of a break section, with a different genre's feel. Other than that it's very cool. Good work.

Zechy responds:

Thank you for your review :).

It's work from bad mood and long time boredom, so i'm not thinking about rhytm. It's just for good mood :).

Maybe i have bad english, i'm from Czech Republic.

[-[LiveC]- Amorphous Technique]

Cool sound

nice beat, a cool chord structure. The dub-ish breakdown seems kind of too mellow to fit with the rest of the song. You could've really amped up the bass in that section, given it a lot more movement. I like the vocal clips you used in it though, the laugh after the break was a nice touch, kind of funny actually. The whole sound of it is very cool, good work.

inhstudios responds:

yeah, i kinda made that part in like 10 minutes, i shoulda spent more time on it.
thanks for listening man!
and for some reason, when i tried upping the bass in that section for depth, sound got distorted.
but i only spent 10 minutes on that bass effect anyways..
i was thinking about fixing it, but i was also thinking of how much work that would be, and how lasy i am :)

edit

I just upped the bass in that part now, as well as shift the other over.
im uploading the new mp3 now, be sure to relisten for that sweetsweetbass!
