BAH

I gave you a 7 cause it beats mine >8(

Damn, if it had heavier drums it would be so much better, but this is awesome... You dominated mine with the non high pitched and annoying repetitive melody unlike someone i know (ME) Damn Fine work, Enjoy your $250, sir.

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Hah, a 7!

I really appreciate the comments man, you show some good sportsmanship; I'll check yours out right now!

-ac-

I donno if I'd say drum and bass

Was pretty cool. I like the intro, and that guitar riff is pretty good ^.^ The crash was a little weak though >.> Oh well, it kept me entertained for the duration of the song.

Pelemus-McSoy responds:

Thanks!

I dunno what category it would've fallen into...ah well...glad you liked it!

10 minutes?

Perhaps, you should spend some time on your music before you post ^.^ Are you using the FL demo, cause I recognize all those sounds, but only 10 minutes? come on...

Cool

I like the almost 8-bit sounding synth you have there at the start. ^.^

I Did not like the kick... Although powerful, it didnt have enough bass behind it, it was perfect for when the song got going, but when it was alone it was lacking the oomph, had more of a bang than a bam You know what i mean?

I don't like how the song would seem like it was getting going, than would stop and restart over, but once it really started it, it was AWESOME! I loved it. Thats when everything really fit together (except now the 8-bit sounding synth doesnt fit with the melody anymore 8(...) Oh well, it still sounds good... A little random, but full and good. I like the piano! Lots of diversity here!

Although very full, it needs a tad more mastering to accompany it(I know its a pain to do and sometimes it seems like no matter how much you do, you can't get rid of some fuzz).

The only real complaint I have is that kick.... It's too "quick" I guess, it doesnt last long enough... The effect I mean. I love the siren too ^.^

Good work You get my 5 a dl, and a long review from me ^.^ Hey! Review my song "Absolute Zero" it'd be awesome to hear from you on it! Thanks! And keep up the good work!

Karco responds:

Huh. 8-bit? Didn't sound at all like that to me... but with 22 reviews for this song I can't expect them all to be the same, right? =D I can see what you mean, though.

I thought the kick had plenty of bass, etc. going behind it... I know what you mean, more bang than bam, really can't imagine using a low, bassy, etc. kick for this song. Aah well. The song was distorted enough. XD

Yeah, the introduction might have been a bit long... but the section in which I brought in the full percussion for the first time, in between the two "buildup" sections was to give the listener a taste of what was to come... maybe I didn't do that well enough? Huh. I'm trying... my work in progress, Atmosphere, pretty much encompasses everything I've learned since I started and hopefully won't fall back in this area.

Yep, I hope you read some of the other reviews for this song and my responses to them... clarity was a BIG problem. And it's always nice to know there are others out there who suffer similarly... :)

Yep, that siren's awesome. And how it reeverbs towards the end is great, too, considering how that quality made the ending possible, along with a pad or two.

Glad you like it so much! I'll get to your audio page sometime... I don't know if it'll be today or not, I've been fairly short on time lately. But it'll be soon. ;) Thanks for the review!

Cool

The beginning is a great way to get someone anticipating a large build up...

But wait, it doesnt explode, it kinda comes in with a bass, kick, and eventually a clap.

I really like the melody, but the panning synth thing or whatever it is does get a little annoying, but it stopped, thats good.

Still waiting for it to explode...

I like the kick going down in pitch as a roll, thats a good idea XD quite original.

Bah Fl presets = no good, try to keep your instrumental choices as ORIGINAL as possible and stay away from just keep the same instrument you pick.

Near the end of the song, the melody kinda gets lossed and you have a quiet synth playing which doesnt really follow the melody.... The hi hat playing on the off beats gets cut toooooo quickly and sounds like its forced...

I know this sounds like all bad stuff but its my form of constructive criticism... it was a good song with a very catchy melody... just a few areas to work on, GOOD WORK!

Awesome

It almost had an ambient feel to it man. I liked it! Although I'm not a huge fan of sytrus! Especially the celestial preset, and I understand thats the name of your song, but hear me out... Everything was going really smoothly and had a real good feel to it, but when the celestial came in, even though it wasnt for long... I almost kinda lost site of the rest of the song, cause it just sounded so much different from the rest.

Besides that, I loved it! MAKE MORE, NOW! Snare rolls = perfect, Instrument choices (besides celestial) = perfect! 9/10 RAR, take out that celestial and it would be a 10/10 ... But I always give 9's anyways...

DIVERSITY WAS AWESOME, it changed up so much but didnt sound like 167 different songs like other people do with their "diversity" in the songs... Great job, stealth. Keep it up!

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Hey thanks Envy yeh it does kinda have an ambient feel to it, you're not a fan of sytrus? well it's alright it's pretty powerful I gotta steer further away from presets, there was only one or 2 presets in this, thanks for stopping by with a review

Glad you like it!

Peace Out!

Stealth

Cool

Ima do the pros and cons thing again XD

Pros- I like the melody and everything, the name fits the song well. It's very happy and I like very happy! I also like the strings in the backround.
The snare rolls are placed very well XD good job! (Some people overuse or underuse snare rolls or just dont use them at all...)

Cons- that, reverbed clap that goes throughout the whole song on the quarter notes kinda distorts everything.
Also, I think you used FL keys, and FL keys is no good unless you FX the crap out of it to make it sound like a piano and not like a stale fl preset. I really like the melody with it though ^.^

Overall good work, could be a better song, just need to maybe get more familiar with the program? I don't question your melody making ability at all, you seem to be good at that. just maybe practice with different FX and stuff and automations to add tons of flare to your work. (I'm assuming you're using FL?)

Good job! Keep it up!

DJ-DaVinster responds:

Thanks for the review & tips!

& Yes, I am using FL Studio.

Pretty good

-Pros-

I loved the intro, And i feel you brought the melody in well (which was also good)

I also liked the hi hat/cymbals line, it flowed very well.

You had a lot of diversity in the song changing up the melody whenever you could and bringing it back, it was nice.

-Cons-

I Did not like the kick! It was too much bassy... you need a bass for that, not a kick... The kick alot of times is the backbone for the song, and the kick you chose really didnt do the song justice... pick a less bassy kick.

Also one part of the melody I didn't like but thats just my taste. And the main synth "shook a little too much for my liking"

But the only real thing I didn't enjoy about this song was that kick... Change that kick and this is an entirely different song.

Nice work on this BTW

DJ-DaVinster responds:

The reason you probably didn't like the kick was because this is a mix between Gabber, McTrance & Dark Trance. So, if you don't like Gabber, you won't like this song. >w<

Thanks for the review, BTW.

Cool man

Sounded very "CSI-ish" Like when theyre doing all their expiriments or something. Excellent work on this one. Tad too loud but thats alright, Loud isnt a problem ^.^ Nice work!

Syntrus responds:

YAH BOOST IT FUCKING LOUDER! YAH!!!

sry for that.

that was the idea to get this sound of csiness WHO Dunnit. lol

Not bad

Again, need more of a set melody but still not bad... especially for your first song! You will definately get better. (And ignore scores given, newer artists get what I like to call, "the zero voter wave"... Not necessarily newer artists, just if your name isnt "B0UNC3" "Dimrain47" or "ParagonX9" You will experience zero voters all the time... just dont give up! And dont let them get you down! Keep working!

Thanks for trying to uplift me, I thought that no one liked this track but still, thanks a lot.
