Yo that fucking beat is bumping. Ha Ha.

Yo who made that beat? Oh it was me? Killa. Yo son If you needed two verses I coulda made you one with 2 verses you know...So it woula been 2 verses literally. I think I'll do it anyway.

Track was hot though lyrics was bomb. Can't really review the beat...because it's fucking ridiculous.

Mackity responds:

Haha, I'm glad you liked it my dude. Me and Shensetta gon work on gettin our vocals to sound alittle better, and that extended version would be appreciated highly, thanks again ;)

Well aight.

This one is kind of nice. It's certainly R&B though instead of HipHop. I do like it though. It's get a real nice vibe to it. The drums in my opinion a lil bit crazy at times. I would have liked to see them hold more steady. I can't ever tell if there's sample involved but it kind of sound like there might be. Nice track though. Put it in RNB where it belongs and it's easily a top 20 Rnb track on Newgrounds.

I guess your right it's more R&B than Hip-Hop. I was trying to make a relaxing Hip Hop beat so i guess that's why i made the drums very active, never really went into a beat saying this is going to be R&B even though that's what i listen to more than anything. Well i'm not good at sampling, i mix my notes with ol songs tho. Thanks again for the review.

Kanye!? Your fav?!

Kayne is nice and all but he sample maniac. No true original melodies. Anywhho. This right here is a nice lil reggae/rnb type of thing. It kinda remind of Mario Paint or something along that. I like the chords but you should have highlighted them much more and balanced the track a lil bit better. The piano is really soft and maybe through some Reverb on it. It's pretty nice though. It's getting there. Nice. I could break them chorus chords into a crazy HD beat. You lucky I didn't think of these chords first. Nice though man. Tight. I'd take it out the hiphop section though and move it to RnB or something.

Finess101 responds:

Appreciate the review man. I like Kanye because i love sampled beats. You think it sounds reggae...maybe that's my jamaican side coming out lol. Of course it sounds pretty balanced n highlighted to me since ya kno i'm new maybe you can elaborate more on that in a PM ya know i'm always tryna learn from people who's real good. I thought it sounded hip-hop and you saying it sounds reggae...R&B is very interesting get at me man i could definately learn a thing or two from you.

I feel it.

Alright. I can kinda feel it. The track is I can't really tell if it's a sample or what. I can't so I'm not to sure how to review it. But nonetheless it's a nice track. The lyrics is getting there. But the punchlines was a little Ion know. To...in the same pattern.
You gotta mix it up in the pattern. But I like it though. Keep it up.

Finess101 responds:

Thanks fo the review, yea it was a quicky just wrote something up on a topic i love (girls) real fast and laid it down, what about the punchlines now??. The beat is sampled though, dude kajmir made it.

It was cool.

It was alright. The beat was pretty basic and not to hip hop moving for me. The melodies though were nice although I felt the chord changes weren't exagerrated enough but it was nice though. Nice track guys but was still kind of dry on the percussion side.

Yeah it's R&B.

It's nice. It needs way more. I think alright though melodically. Just make it a full song atleast. What program is this?

+Encore's Thoughts+

Intro is cool you know. Nice balance for what's it's worth and the bass drum is pretty nice. I actually like the transition into the main verse. It was pretty smooth. The song has some interesting parts. Sounds like R&B I'll say. Now I'm still a bit confused the actual form happening. It's kind of fluffy on on form. I don't know what to assume is the chorus? or verse? Also your saw at about 1:07 is panned
awkwardly into one ear. I would drop some reverb on that. Generally it seems kind of leaned on the right. Like the strings seemed leaned. Ehh I don't like it there it makes me feel unbalanced. At 2:18 that sound is fly to although the transition where it stopped than just picked back up was alright. It's A nice track with good things to it and some bad.

Plus--- /13/
(+)Crisp. Quality is high.
(+)Varied and mixed pretty well.
(+)Good instrument choices.

Minus---/5/
(-)"Snare"
That snare is really low it seems. Also it seems pretty loud and not carried to well with other percussion like hats or shakers. I can hear the small hats in the back but they don't balance to well with the "loud" snare.

(-)"Form is a ?"
I was never sure exactly where the song was in a sense of if vocals where laid down on it. It seemed to be a vocal track because alot of the melodies used sounded like background melodies if you know what I mean. I don't know whats the verse to the chorus to the other parts you include like hooks and such.
(-)"Panning, Balance"
This actually isn't to bad here. But there are some problems with the saw whistle. It really leaned to the right. And in my car that just sounds pretty awkward. And on my sets. I felt unbalanced. And I mentioned the snare above but i guess saying it again couldn't hurt to bad. Darn you man that snare or clap i can't tell really what it is exactly it's loud. There's other panning issues I heard sometimes but nothing big.

2x(-)"Transitional Work."
It was actually really good. But sometimes it still felt pretty inconclusive. It was really good though. Also where was the ending!? I hated to take two points but...damn it....you left me no choice. No choice...man.

*Additional Comments*
(-.-)"Chords"
Really try to exaggerate your chord changes. They are the most important part of R&B, Trance, and other various melodic genres. That lean heavily on the chords to set the tone and overall "mood" of the song. Yours chords are very soft and indeed nice at need to be heard some way or another. Ofcourse I'm not saying go change anything because well there's no instruments besides the strings that are actually able to carry the chords since you don't have a piano in this track. Nice none the less.

Well that's All I have. Nice track. One of the best in the R&B section as far as actually being in the genre and such. Good tone quality nice melodic sense. And oh yeah. Can we get a ending? Good track though I liked it. Alot of ground covered from your first tracks to this one. Got to hate the Zero Voters. You should PM when you bring out new songs. Otherwise I won't know!

Ahh well.

I've got a mad headache so I won't get to in-depth about this. It's cool though. Nice track. Tenspot. Nice Guitar, piano, and all that jazz. Percussion is pretty nice. Well it's good and shit dude.

Peptotrippin responds:

Good shit, son.

Review---

I have to first gripe about the panning. It was just "arrrgh" to me. There's probably a reason there's 2 speakers. Well, the panning here makes me feel heavily unbalanced. I just never can get down into because panning. The drums in particularly aren't very diverse in execution and the cymbal/hihat you use just hits as a metronome which is never really good per say considering other instances of this song do the same. The drums around 2:00 minutes also aren't very intriguing. Around 2:12 or so when the keyz come on they seem to battle with the initial keys and generally alot of the sounds you used didn't work well together. This song could have been so much deeper with different sounds and better percussive interpretation.

Plus----11
(+)Chords are generally nice in there movement.

Minus---6
2x(-)That panning is horrible. Just balance it. Panning is to be used slightly.
(-)Percussion needs more variety and kicks need to engage better.
(-)Transitions. Where are they?
(-)Battling Melodies are never good. Balance is key. HIGHLIGHT what needs to be heard.
(-)Ending was um. Fishy. Balance was also. Pads seemed loud over other sounds.

Final Score 5 >>> "I can tell you this track needs more work."

Deep.

This is very ambient. It's feels good. The constant deep bass flowing is very nice. The pianos are to very enticing. I've never heard something like this before with ambience and DrumNBass. Kind of the best of both worlds. I think the quality of some of the drums and such could have been higher to give a clearer sound because even though I like it generally the bass overpowers the ambiance alot when it's there. Otherwise it was very cool. The chord changes are very distinct and clear although you could still futher pronounce them when the piano rips are flowing as I can't seem to find the bass note in every chord to highlight it. Good nonetheless.

Plus---13
(+)Nice intro. Love the bells.
(+)The DrumNBass side is very pronounced. Nice.
(+)It just sounds creepy and cool as hell.

Minus---5
(-)Some of the transitions could have been better. The intro one particularly just seems to drop the drums in.
(-)Balance. I think because of some of the quality it sounds muffled at times when the drums are in and overpower the melodies.
(-)I wish it was clearer.
(-)The ending. Too simple for it's own good. I don't know what exactly I didn't like but forsure I didn't like how it just stopped on that one note. And such. Maybe a fade or some kind of moving pads at the end highlighting the chord changes as it ends kind of crying to the end. "Wahh WAHH Wahhh WAHh" you know something like that.
(-)1:41 or such just seem to lose alot for me. It seemed random almost in execution and seemed to die compared to the rest. Matter of preference i suppose but. Still a minus...

Final Score = 8 "Flow, taken, Farewell."

nubbinownz responds:

right the drum break i know what you're talking .. to be honest the only reason i even made this song was so a friend of mine could make a stepfile for stepmania .. he wanted something with alot of drums and insanity. Your review is amazing just as suspended's was .. i really enjoy reviews like this.

Just doing music like always...
