[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.

[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 Techn]

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!

[Sg - The Fourth Phase (ei]

pretty exciting

This would be very good as a boss theme. Fast paced, suspenseful chord structure, and cool synths. I don't really see how the breaks will go with an intense boss battle, but of course I haven't seen the game either, you might sync up the gameplay to go along with it. Other than that, it's a cool song, good work.

Qyue responds:

I plan on synchronizing the final boss battle with different parts of this song. Unfortunately, I can't synchronize this with what the player does, so it'll probably be synchronized with MASS's attacks.
Thx40review.

[Uninspired Garbage]

for being "garbage"

It sure made me smile when I heard the first melody. That's a really cool rhythm you have going. The dubstep bass was good, but it need to be deeper, more powerful. It almost sounds like 8-bit, which is cool in itself, haha. It just needs more powerful EQing and mastering. I like how it progresses throughout the song instead of becoming repetitive. You've got some really awesome themes going, they just need to be applied in a different way. Good work so far.

[Beat building]

The song itself is cool

But like you said, it is missing just a bit in the beat. Adding a hihat would help. I also don't see why you drop out the kick when you add snare, the kick can still hit every beat under the snare. The synths you're using are cool, but you need more bass, which you could add in with the snare. And as far as adding more to the beat, try listening to a lot of Latin. Latin music has a ton of rhythm, try listening to some Santana, or just look up Latin beats online. You'll get there, and you've got a good foundation for writing. Keep it up.

DESHIEL responds:

Both Latin and Santana are totally unknown to me, but if it will help me to improve this song, I will give it a try.

[My weekend Project, Dub]

pretty cool.

I like the short dub parts, gives time to hear everything else in between. But the chimes you have going the whole time are so piercing, maybe a little better EQing on the higher end? Other than that, the dub is solid and it sounds good. Nice work.

deendeon1000 responds:

im replacing the high end sounds they kinda irritate me, haha but thanks .
