[The Lost Story]

Chord changes.

Sonic Like- I enjoyed the chord changes generally through the song. But the drums just seemed awkward coming from my subwoofer. But once I cut it off they sounded ok. But I don't know I would have went with a different beat.

Quality doesn't matter.

All that matters in hiphop is form. Precision. Drum kicks depth and melodic rip and if it has a good inside verse. This track was actually pretty nice. Good chord changes and such. Deep track. In general nice. Only real problem to me is it follows hiphop very closely and never changes itself into some higher. But it was cool though. You got my respect. Because somebody gave you a 2. 5 star.

Yo check out my latest track btw. Love & Rain.

Thanks for the review and the 5 man. I also agree with you about the quality, but some people don't so I put it out there anyway. I'll be sure to check out your track. Expect a review soon. Thanks again.

[=Mastercraft=]

First try?

Dense. Track. Atleast it surrounds me. That it does do. The blips earlier on and for awhile just don't assist eachother. Separate melodic riffs going and once seems like a balance. They feel almost like they're in different keys. Which in essence they are so throughout the song you seem to have a clashing effect of two melodic instruments going on than you add 3rd one on that doesn't really play into either of the others. The song seems very mad at itself in general as nothing cooperates well. Also the percussion just has no underbelly to it. Very basic. Everything hits right on the beat. Hihats cymbals claps and drums have way to much cooperation. Another thing I find is the song has no true transitions and actually never builds to anywhere. It seems to just drops sounds down without introducing them. It's sounds very basic.

-The main flaw to me is the battling melodics. Just didn't generate a vibe to the song as the listening to the fighting sounds made it difficult to actually enjoy. Form-wise the song just seems to pick rather randomly what happens next. Drums drop in and out and melodies suddenly stop & go. Balance wasn't to much of a problem but was not very good either. Basic rhythms where all the percussion does the exact same thing.
Keep producing...we'll see what happens.

[Chillout Groove]

Alright.

Parappa the Rappa. Is what this sounds like. The panning you did here is very awkward. Also. Being unbalanced is something that drives my ears crazy. And this panning here does just that. The solo's seem very ill conceived and uninspired. Nonetheless it's funky. The chord changes(matter of preference) really never intrigues me. They're pretty good earlier on but the change-ups chords are kind of cheesy and really generic of this genre. Nice track though. I'd maybe do something with the panning unless it's something you truly must have. I for one just don't like unbalance. Good music mind though.

Thanks for the review. And yes, I was experimenting on Mixcraft to see what I could do with it so this was one of those pieces of turds that managed to settle out of there. No worries though, I'll be making more decent ones soon.

[Tribe of the resurrection]

Copyright..laws...

Yeah but anyway. It was nice it guess. My only really problem is the song places itself and never steps any higher. I pretty much always lose interest if the song never builds. Other than that. Arrangement is good. Except maybe it needs transitional work and more excitement somewhere.

[a series of unimportant events]

Sounds sad.

Well i would have probably enjoyed it. If it keep a steady tempo and stayed in tune. It had a good melodic line though from what I could here. I don't know man it was ok.

good times, bad times

[EL99 - Burning Temptation]

Solid.

So thats hours/minutes/seconds. Well. You should spend about 15 more minutes adjusting the balance on some of these sounds. Your melodies seem very loud at times and other times the dreams sound like they're off in the distance. This is an ok track for the most part but in general it just doesn't really grow. It has a variation but it never reaches a point of rising action. Or builds itself to a climax. That's my issue with alot of trance and techno on NG they don't build themselves. They just loop. Sounding fairly the same. Never taking me anywhere. And more or less just filling time instead of telling a story. Good track though I suppose. Keep bettering yourself. And try to do more with effects on buzzes and blips and bell sounds. They sound very much preset.

[D4 - Stand up!]

Sounds like...Familiar?

Ehh. Well it's ok. Nothing crazy new. The melody is pretty loud over the rest of the song, balance. Balance. The 2nd melody just isn't fantastic but it was ok. It's a nice techno song but it didn't make me feel like dancing or anything. And I was playing it pretty loud. Than the 3rd phrase was unbalanced aswell. Seemed like your melodies just over powered other sounds. Never leaves the safety of its on existence or reaches for a higher place. Stays generally in the same place the whole song. That ofcourse eventually causes some tiredness of it. Ok track.

[first try at techno]

...ok....

Since it was your first try I won't get critical on this. So I guess it was ok for a first try but as a track. It was bad. In generally most places. Panning, Balance, overall re playability. But as a first it was ok.

[Sweep-tap Guitar Exercise]

*shrug*

Pretty good...I guess...it really has no purpose..not a song...or a loop or..anything...just a guitar...with a guy talking..whatever. Can't rate pass a five because it's not a song man. I just can't.
