[Cavemen (Demo)]

cool

cool song you got here. i definetly like all the elements of the beat, especially the reverbed clap. just add a bit of diversity, i know its only a demo, but the same instruments go on for pretty much the whole song. its good quality though, and you probably worked relativley hard on it, so i will give it a 10 in everything but diversity because it didnt have much variety. 5/5 too, keep it up and tell me when you get the full song out if you do. check out my page too!

[Ultimate BassHunter Remix mix]

nice

i see you used my base in there! maybe you should tweaked it a bit, i dunno. btw..i didnt compose this song! it was orinigally made by the proffesional techno artist basshunter. i like your pad and clap, very original, but it was basically the same instruments the whole song, and just the bass and melody! man you need to add diversity and make some melodies/harmonies of your own. other than that, good job. 5/5.

yeh, I'm thinking of doing the melody over in A minor.
The notes would be:
A, A A A, E, B C
C, C C C B C
ect. it would be the same melody in a different octive
Thanks!

[White Trash Academy For Blacks]

yea

this is wayyy too fuzzy, and as you said, really boring. 3/5.

Sorry for the short, negative review.

[~EnV~Cellular]

yea the drums are pretty sweet

very techno-ey, could definetley be classified as dance, maybe even with a few more rave elements you could call it happy hardcore! i really quite like this one. it was too short though! as soon as that loud, dominant synth came in with the melody i was like nice! its building up to awesome climax, but then it just faded out! besides that, great song, and oh yea, make the bass louder! 5/5 and download, check out my page too!

Envy responds:

I made this one quite a while ago, and I really liked it at the time. Hell, I still like it ^.^ thanks for the review!

[==(Island Shores at Night]

this is great

i havent heard a decent ambient song in a while, but this one is more than decent. i love the faded strings and piano, the only thing that i thought you should have turned down was the hihat, but thats ok because you didnt use it that frequently. another thing i liked about this is that it had that pan flute melody, and most ambient songs dont have any melody at all. your song defineltey gave me that empty beach feeling, i absolutley love the crickets and other various night time ambience effects you had going out in the backround. it is nighttime here, and they were so realistic i had to take off my headphones to check whether it was from the song of outside. i like this alot, 5/5 and a download. please check out my page too if you can!

[Eggmans theme DR Remix]

i like this

i never played sonic seriously but for some reason ever remix of its songs i come around on ng are really good. that includes this one.

let me start with the synths. very powerful, especially later in the song. i also liked the hollow type synth introduced around the middle of the song, and the strings you eventually brought in. the only thing i didnt like was that little stutter fly effect you used, if that's ever considered a synth, anyways, i dont know if it was the panning or what, but it really hurt my head. that was near the song's beggining.

besides that, the effects were great. i though the bass was just right and all the fades, builds, and other effects you had in there were just great. very proffesional, and like i said before, very powerful.

this wasnt your complete composition, and although you did 'make it your own', you didnt exactly write the melody and probably some of the harmonies. so thats why im giving you an 8 for originality. you of course get a 10 in everything else.

this was an enjoyable song. 5/5, and a download. please check out my page too, i only have one song so far and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Keep making tracks like these.

[Great to Be Back (acid remix)]

nice work

whoa, cool song. i listened to both the original one and this one, the acid remix, and i must say this one is quite a bit better! you probably should of added some diversity though, i know it's trance but a nice little melody would have kept the listener more intersted. besides that its good, i like the synth you used from beggining to end,it may have gotten repetitive but i liked it. yea, so thats all i have to say, just make your songs go somewhere, have a melody, just something to build up to. 5/5 and download! keep up the good work!

-Exodus

KittenInAStocking responds:

Thanks!

[Untitled Melody (fix)]

yea

argh! that chord progression, it is so overused! i shouldnt be talking though, my song is in that progression to, but i try not to make any in it! still a great song though. i would classify this more as techno though. you had a nice little clap that came in at one time, but it was really quiet! you should have maybe made it a little louder. i like that little bell riff, really nice, and you had good synth choices. i dunno if it was me but that one hollow synth that you had come in that one time seemed to have good pitch but the timing of the notes seemed pretty random. i dunno. great song all in all, its got my 5 and download. check out my page too if you can!
keep making good music like this!

thegmann responds:

First off thanks for the review I really appreciate it.

As far as the instrument balance thing goes you are definably right mixing is the big area im trying to improve on right now.

The randomness is, in fact, randomness but i really liked how those seeds turned out so i used them.

If you like this song I recommend downloading the version below as it is slightly better quality. If anyone wants a full quality version just PM me.

[JAG~Ultima_300]

this is cool

hey beatmaster. nice song you got here, reminds me of techno. i'll call it techdance lol. i liked the kick then snare, it was a good change from the usually dance kick then hihat. plus you had that eventual snare roll and kick roll made a cool little change in the beat too. but besides that, there wasnt much diversity. it was pretty much the same instruments throughout the whole song, but i guess thats not too bad as long is it has that bouncy DDR mood, which it did. so, uh, 5/5 and a download. see you around the portal!

-Exodus

beatmasterJAG responds:

Hey Bro! Thanks for the 5's and the D/Ls!

I have contemplated making a longer version with more variety in it, and some breaks.

[Heavens dancefloor (light mix)]

ahh, i love this song ! :D

thing song is amazing, so catchy and calming, i love it! this is easily going on my playlist. great that you added some diversity besides the first synth and the piano, i liked that. the only thing you should have done diffrently is used the compressor on the melody synth in that played for the first have of the song, it was so loud and sharp, it hurt my ears! besides that, great song you have here. you dont have to review me back if you dont have the time. 5/5 and downloaded.
