[Let The Bass Kick]

Well, good song man.

The intro was t3h awesomeest!! lol. oh the filters!!!! Pretty! lol.

Ya, i liked how you made all those vocals go together, well, cept that "i love you" nonsense, :P

Um, what else? gotta say, nice piano as usual. lol. Goes well with the song. I really like that synth, really NRG-y ishstic. i really dont know what to say about that "awohwhwohwohwohwh" thing floating around in the background. its ...questionable, and possibly off-ryhthm sounding. Ooo, nice breakbeat breakdown. The piano is always nice. uh, ya, its late, so i cant type once more, XD

Nice synths again. Where DO you get em??? lol.

Song doesn't change much. Well, alot in the beginning, but ya. Wait, what am italking about? its a fine song. Good stucture. Maybe some things taht i just cant understand why they're there, but they work! so its cool.

Haha, love that slow-down thing. its frikkin' awesome. lol.

Dude and once again, sweet intro.

(downloaded!111and reviewed!!1andvotedeon!!111tay!!!!yay*!!)

good job on this song man. The structure, imo, is creative. The synth is awesome of course, and the filtering adds so much more to the entire thing. The song does seem a bit bounce-ish. Which is cool. Its a good song man. Piano's great.

Sorry for just-now repeating everything. i like to have a "retarded noob" mode and a serious mode in my reviews, XD

later dude. um, keeps it ups, ya hears?

kthxbye

Anima-Theory responds:

[Jungle Raid--_--(2:15)]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmzers.

hi i heard of you, you're zenon, the incredible, :P

Wow, i like that bass. yay, buildup!

lol, this is neat. I wish i could make dnb, :(

anywho, yeah, cool song, the beat almost sounds...empty though, maybe its the volume i have on my computer right now, but one little thing seems like its making the main beat of your song almost...like its missing something. empty in some spot, other than that, super-duper-guper-yuper yay its good.

:P

Oh yeah, wanna collab? I hear you can learn a lot collabing and all that. And i need to discard my writer's block too. i cant make anything man, its so depressing and pissy-offy.

but ya, my msn is [e-mail]

oh and good song, :P i like the melody, and the drums make it seem as if its an actual jungle raid, although, unfortunately i think you could think of almost any dnb song as a jungle raid or something. becuase of how the drums seem "tribal" and all. plus, this seems more like space exploration or something becuase of those high electric-sounding sytnsh you used for the melodies. and the pads too, they're so...electric, not very "raw" and jungly.

i wrote this review at 2:02 AM, forgive me if i sound likea bone heard or somethign of that matter.

kk, good song. but beat couldd be stlightly more filled. thanksf or reading! :D

PERVOK responds:

You can learn amazing things from collabing. Like the artists each and every little trick...

>_<

Well, yeah, I'll add you to MSN anyways.

Thanks for the lengthy review :D

[Passion 2005]

The beginning.

Was the best. The rest just got too clumped-together it seems. Oooo, bells.... Sounds like a different song just popped in though. Have like a snareroll or some kind of noticable buildup or something. I like the keys you used. They sound off and weird, but at the same time.......relaxing.

**sneezes**

i mean, **snooses8

ah, **snoozes**

listen to my stuffz!!! yay! sorry, im reviewing this a ta very late time. 1:51 AM wow, thats late.

k, good song, although nothing really stands out. I love the beginning pad and those drums when tehy fade in, its SWEET andt hat synth comes in, but then it just keeps going up in pitch, never drops, :( then some scratchy gold saw or platinum saw or something comes in and its not even loud enough it seems (im listneing at low volume, :P ) but hey, good song.

Thing is though, you had huge potential with that pad in the very very beginning of the song, it was sweet, i just wish it varied effectively, but instead all these otehr not-so-needed elements were thrown in. :(

oh wellz, good try dude! good job! it sounds pretty alright to my ears, so ya!

tired.

bogman247 responds:

youre right about the volume... ill remaster it if i can find the flp :) .

[R00ts - Phase]

Im in a hurry, :P

Ooooooo, beat finally struck in. Nice song, the beat helps out a lot, lol.

The piano is good, me likes, :) I like how you created that reeverbed "atmosphere" with all those long-ish strings and delayed stuff you used and all.

Good song, cant really complain, but that synth is oh-so-barely questionable. When all those strings and wahtnot dissapear, it seems a bit too loud, but then that actual melody comes in, and it sounds good, ;)

Good song dude, quite trancey indeed. High-energy trance even. Good use of strings. Alright im out. Thanks for the review on my song "Good song", :P lol, im just messin'

K, later.

R00ts responds:

Yeah, transitions were really hard in this piece which I think could have been improved, but thanks for overlooking that!

[Speed Drive]

Not the best...

I liked the intro, it had alot of potential. Btw, what BPM is this at? Oh, and i can tell you use FL, ;)

Anyways, its too random, and that beginning drum loop doesnt loop well, its ever-so-slightly off, :( I wish you kept the same instrument in and just added new ones, because when you started to without-notice switch from "synth 1"(i dont know its name) to Gold Saw, it was just weird sounding. Oh and this sounds like a demo, any chance of a full version?

Anywho, alright effort, i enjoyed the tempo of this piece and the rest of the song up until that Gold Saw hit in, :(

demoninabottle responds:

okay. Thanks for the review

[Treasure Hunt]

Hard trance?

Im not sure about hard trance, maybe hard house. What program do you use? It seems like you have the same exact beat in every song. The synth is pretty cool, its chill, but its not really hard-trancey.

Try again?

super-camper responds:

yea some wrong with the gender there, but i did'nt use the same beat in every song though.
But i will try my best to improve my skills with music.

[Coldest Winter]

wow

i expected this to be some newbie-crap, but...wow... This is great so far man! The bass is sweeeeeeeet, and the structure is good so far too. I hear a melody coming in, **cries**

It seems to go on for quite a while though. Haha, this is sweet.

[e-mail] <--my msn if you wanna chat. cuz this is SWEET.

I absolutely LOVE that bass drop and when it continues to change. This stuff is gold. B0UNC3's stuff? Not even close. This track tears his apart man.

Awesome effort, even awesomer song, though slow sometimes, it really makes up for it in its climactic melodic drops. Nice piano too.

Great job. very new to me. NG audio-wise.

10/10 no doubt about it.

cristian-fuentes responds:

Thanks alot it makes me REALLY happy that you took the time to pay my song some attention, I notice there is a lot of commercialized trance sounds on here, and maybe some not so well polished songs on NG, I tought maybe that all NG users were into that heavier hardcore sound. thanks again I really appreciate it :)

[Summer Horizon]

Hey there!

Originality- 7. Because well, you said it was "commercial trance" and thats not ultimately creative. its fine tho.
Diversity- 8. Well, sort of ditto to the above. But I like the synths and instruments you used, and man, nice job with the snares and whatnot. Little things DO count too!
Clarity- I didn't really hear anything that i couldn't hear, (?????) but ya, nicely mastered, in other words. The random volume change/filter(?) thing in the beginning was...questionable though.
Effort- Well, listen to it! It's not just simple loops, there's actually variation and all that jazz(but i thought we were talking about techno?) lol, :P

Anywho, overall 10, cuz well, its a good song, and mr cheesy penis can go and cry in a corner, because well, he should. I dont make any sense today, do I?

Alright, i did sense some cheesyness(even a word??) in the track, but hey, it seems like a happy track. I like the almost "summerish" atmosphere you created in this, course thats probably what you intended on doing. I like the beat, if i werent tyipng, i'd be dancing. I like where you placed the breakdowns and snarerolls and the filters are a great add too. The "squeaky" synth is probably one of the main sources of the cheesiness factor in the song. But its a good song, good effort, although ya, seeing from what l_XI(spelled right?) said, i think i wanna hear more hardcore stuff. Can you make some crazy insane happy hardcore maybe? well, long enough review. Good song, tad cheesy, but thats just part of the summer-ish mood of the song, so .....ya.

10/10

dj-padman1 responds:

Well, thanks very much for the review. You've raised some very interesting and intelligent issues there.
The filtering at the start that you sensed was out of place was put there to disguise a horrible high-pitched synth that I accidentally pushed the fader up too high on. Don't ask me why I didn't just turn the volume of that synth down afterwards, its complicated :)
You hit the nail on the head with the squeaky synth observation. It's pretty damn evil...
And yes, I'm definately gearing up for some hard anthems. Exams at the moment though, killing me daily.
Once again, thanks for the insightful review.

[Shining Eyes]

Good, wonderful trance.

Nice song so far, the structure is good so far, its at the mini-melody right now. Nice, but that string is really killing my ears, no joke. Good so far though, did you use vanguard? Anyways, snare roll, nice break. Another SR, nice. I like your use of the kicks and crashes as little "tension" effects.

Nice melody that comes in afterwards. Haha, pretty melody.

Pro-sounding, very much so. Very very nice. A+
Wow, that bass is awesome too, i love the structure of this song man, good trance i say.

Dude, I really wanna work with you, if you could spare the time, maybe we can talk on msn?

I love your style, just that it needs to be more loved on NG rather than the "CRAZY RAVE INSANENESS!!111". This stuff is more serious.

But anyway, maybe we can chat on msn and collab or something? What do you use? FL 5? 6? ....reason.. :(

anywho, sorry for long review, 9/10 for song, cuz it aint perfect, not a single song is. My msn is [e-mail]

Check out my stuff too if you can. KthxBye!

Anima-Theory responds:

I used Fl Studio 5 XXl.....I think :P

I wouldn't mind collabing with you, I haven't done a collab for a while.

I added you to MSN so yeah.

I didn't think the strings sounded that bad, but meh, everyone has their opinion.

Thanks for the review
