[RAC5 Born Again]

Nice

Well it's not hard to see that you were passionate about making this song and put a lot of effort and research into it. It shows and I think it pays off quite well. The guitar part at the beginning is interesting, and very foreign sounding, but interesting nonetheless.

When the actual song starts it sounds much fuller and complete obviously. I think maybe a small transition from these two stages would have been nice...

The vocal was interesting for sure, that's you? Great job, sounds very well mixed in.

The piece was well mixed and well planned, and certainly does sound very foreign. A few things I can't quite explain keep me from giving this a 10, mainly probably because it's strange and foreign to me, but I do think it was very well done.

Keep up the great work.

SoulSecure responds:

About a transition from the sanshin opening to the rest of the song: I had not thought of that at all. Woah... That just made me think of several things I could do with this once the contest is over, but I doubt I will do them.

Oh shit, I thought that the way I mixed the vox was a little off myself, but I'm glad to hear that someone likes it.

About the strangeness: Ah, nahh. Generally, all my songs have something strange about them. Thanks for the review!

[If I Had To Choose [Revised]]

Not bad

Well I think it's great that you wrote this song for your grandmother who passed away, that was very kind of you. I can tell just by the length that you put a good amount of effort into this.

The melodies weren't to my liking too much, they weren't musically incorrect - they just didn't strike me as anything really original or moving. The background pads were a nice touch, but it just didn't really sound like all the instruments blended near as well as I would have liked them to. 4:45 to the end, however, blended perfectly, and was probably my favorite part of the song. The ending was very well done, as well as the intro. Both parts were strong points to me, but I'm not real sure when the main guitar first comes in fit well...maybe a gradual fade in?

The piano, guitar, and pads all seem to be kinda out there doing their own thing and not really blending into a single coherent melody to me. The background melody on the guitar seems a bit low quality, granted it's distorted, I think it could have been recorded better.

The percussion stood out to me most. I liked the bass kicks and double kicks a lot actually. I don't think anything needs to be changed there it sounds great.

The solo guitar was a nice touch, although I don't really think the long blaring notes were all that pleasant to listen to.

Overall it's a decent track. I don't think it's perfect by any means, but it gets the job done. I think it could use a touch up here and there to really complete it.

Great

Love house, and this is good. The beat sounds very original and fresh. Was the don't stop ripped off from ATB?

The rest of the beat is very good sounding, but needs to be much longer, as the :45 second clip gets stale quite quickly. Extend this and it'll be golden for sure.

The main synth is bouncy sounding and catchy. The percussion sounds original and fits the melody well, it's just wayyyy to short.

Decibel responds:

Haha, this is my highest rating from you :P
I'm not sure about the don't stop, I got it off Vengeance Vocal Essentials.
I'm glad you like it =D I'll continue it right now =D

[ECHO - Flight WIP]

Dude...

I've been looking for a new CPU cooler online for the past half hour and I totally spaced off the fact that this loop has been playing THE ENTIRE TIME.

Wow, lol. I'm surprised I could handle it for that long. It's actually pretty calming and uplifting. Tis the sound of progress ;)

Other than extending this, I don't really have any criticism for you. It sounds great, just make it a lot longer.

Keep up the amazing work.

Hehe, jolly good i guess ;)

"Wow, lol. I'm surprised I could handle it for that long. It's actually pretty calming and uplifting. Tis the sound of progress ;)"

Tks a lot for the compliments.

"Other than extending this, I don't really have any criticism for you. It sounds great, just make it a lot longer."

I'm already working on that. Good to know that you liked it ;)

"Keep up the amazing work."

I'll try thanks ;)

Tks for the awesome review!

[[Dj Assios] - Raver (Demo)]

Not bad

I've never been into the happy hardcore rave stuff, but it sounds like you've got a good beat going. It's very upbeat and fast tempo which is exactly what you'd want. It doesn't sound choppy and flows pretty well.

Not sure what else I could say about this, it sounds good so far, just extend it. The main problem I see is that it's too short, but what you have already works well.

Keep hammering away at it.

Assios responds:

Thanks for the review:)

[Circus in The Mist]

Not bad

It's not a bad song really. I mean, I enjoyed listening to it, but I do this it could use a bit more spice somewhere. Either an extension to the song, or a bit more melody change.

It's enjoyable the way it is, but I don't think it's at full potential. The percussion sounds nice and fresh, and the break down of the melody was done very well. The wavering pads sound good to me, and the build back up was unexpected and timed well.

It didn't feel like the song had a climax really, but it did hold a steady pace and was overall interesting to listen to.

Keep up the good work.

[bad table]

Decent

It's a good start, but really the clip is just under a minute long and doesn't really go through many changes in melody. It's just the same rhythm over and over so it gets stale really fast.

It has a funky sound to it, which is good, but it sounded a bit choppy too. I think you could certainly work on making it flow a bit better instead of sounding so....chopped...and not chopped in a good way, like chopped in a low quality way.

Like I said though it's a great start. The percussion is cool, I just think you should extend it and switch it up a bit.

Keep at it.

DXsamurai responds:

thanks for the review, i wiil try to switch it up.

[SUIA-Candy Man]

Love it

Honestly, I fucking love it. The bass line is disgusting, and although I would have never guessed that Willy Wonka would work well in a song, you pulled it off.

I think the chick screaming was a bit ridiculous and uncalled for, but other than that I'd feel bad not giving this a 10 because I thoroughly enjoyed it ;) The atmospheric noises at the beginning are sick, and the percussion is sick. This is indeed one of the sickest tracks I've heard on NG and it's mostly due to that dirty bass line. Every part of it was just awesome, and I can tell you've improved this vastly from the other version I listened to, and I like the changes a lot.

The "you get....NOTHING!" is pretty hilarious as well, lol. Fantastic work m8, keep it up.

Downloaded. 5/5. 10/10. Faved.
