Im sorry for a second there I thought your nose was like a ski slope, who the fuck are you? Iv called my self ENV standing for Electronic Notion Vibe....

So why dont u grow balls and go cum in yer daddys ass (Daddy like u to play rough)

Nice work

It sounded good, I have to say the offbeat hat was FAR too loud. 8/ Kind of dominating the song a bit too much IMO.

Other than that everything sounded pretty nice, I like your progression near the middle, and your kick was pretty nice too. Very full. Another thing was it lacked a bit of a bass. Seemed to need a bit more oomph if you get what I mean, alot of it seemed pretty high frequency.

I hope you don't see this review as hateful because it's not, I just think telling someone what you think should be changed is more helpful than saying "great song!"

It was a good sound though! Keep it up! My only REAL complaint is the hi hat. I'd like to see a reuploaded version of this with a quieter hat.

Oh yeah creative critism is good. im not a person who gets pissed at a review that says how to make it better.

Nice

but IMO the Snare wasn't punchy enough. needed to be like more heavily compressed or something. I like my DnB snares to stand out yknow? Yours was just a tad quiet.

Nice work though, sounds nice. Nice FX work. Although theyd better be cause its in your name 8D

axeFX responds:

XD Envy! Yea, I didn't put much attention into my drums this time around. Thanks for pointing them out tho :P You gotta get on msn and show me some side-chaining tips. I think I added you, but if I didn't my msn is axefx@live.com. ADD ME

Hey man!

Congrats on #1!!!
There's always gonna be people that hate you for it, it happens to everyone... Unless your name rhymes with yaramonx9...

Anyways man it sounded pretty good! The vocals did annoy me a little bit, but hey most vocals do (Im working on a song with annoying ass vocals) and if they work for you then go with it!

Regardless of what people say, enjoy your number one spot man I'm not gonna take an opinion and say if you deserved it or not because that really isn't for anyone to decide man just enjoy the extra downloads and views (Even if some aren't good)

The song itself was pretty good, pretty decent mixing, although at some points after a fill when a new measure would start a bit of clipping would appear.

And to all those that are dissing this for the SOLE PURPOSE that it's #1... Please get a life. Seriously, rate it as it's own song, not by the #. Thats why newgrounds is going downhill, because scores/rank are beginning to become more important than the love of the art, whether it be music or flash.

Nice work here, Dj-Viz, Keep it up!

DJ-VIZ responds:

Haha, this is very true...I mean I wouldn't of minded top somewhere, but number 1 was pretty starteling lol... anyway I am enjoying it and all the attention -- but thanks for the review I appreciate it especially from a really good producer like you.

HMPH

DESPITE NOT ASKING ME FOR A BACKSTORY!!!!!!! I still like it, and I like you. I think we done good. yes I do. I spose I should fix the sidechaining a tad, it's a little strong right now.

BTW YOU DIDNT MENTION MY PIANO SOLO AT THE END >8(

Blah!!!!!!! Anyways, I LOVE YOU

~Dave

(See? Thats how it's done!)

Desyre responds:

And how was I supposed to mention it dear? And, I don't know about good... doesn't compare to Envy originals... AND... you didn't offer a backstory... chimchime did >.<

BUT ANYWAY... I LOVE YOU TOO!

GET RID OF THE INTRO

The first 8 seconds made me go ew.

But the rest was awesome man. The melody was very rob maythy and cool. The counter melody fit perfectly dude. my only issue was it sounded a bit thin o.O

Other than that it was awesome man.

Sweet!!!!

Get rid of that first 9 seconds.

Darkerfire responds:

Bah, you have crappy headphones anyway! xD
(thanks for this forced review lol)

Nice

I figured since so many artists were involved this review would count as like 4.

The start needed a little bit more eqing, the clipping was there because of teh sine-type instrument over the bass.

Um it sounds pretty nice, but the only thing I can really say is watch volume levels. The lead pretty much dominated the entire song as well as the clap. It kind of made the rest of the drums as well as the bass sort of drown out and blend in.

Other than those things it was nice though.

Oh, one more thing. The hats that started around 1:50 were WAYYYYYY too high frequency. Hurted my ears 8(. Try toning that down a little.

Nice work guys, keep it up.

ChainedExpression responds:

Heheh, I'm sure it helped atleast 4 of us.

Yeah, the clipping was annoying, I was originally going to master the track, but DJ-Tonic took over for that part 'cause I got a but busy my end. Same with the mixing, though I'm not sure anyone did a proper mix.

Sorry the hi-hats that came in at 1:50 were my fault. That's just how I do it when I'm making dnb to get a nasty sound out of it. I just high passed an amen break taking out most of the frequencies and just up'd the top a bit.

Thanks for the review.

Hey!

It sounds awesome! I've basically told you all I've thought on MSN and stuff, but I thought I'd leave a review here!

I like the breakbeat at the beginning 8D though faded in I think would have been cool or a quick fill. But it's better than the kick before :D.

The rest is great XenoX, nice work. Keep it up! I'm sure I'll be hearing more from you in the future, and I'll be sure to keep you posted as to my doings 8D.

XenoxX responds:

Woot! thanks a lot lol I tried to make it fade in but I had to keep exporting it over and over again because I left something out and I just was getting pissed so I just posted it. lol Anyways thanks So much for the help and the review.

see ya on MSN :)

XenoxX !

Sweet holmes

This r liek teh poon. First thing I noticed is the mixing. Awesome work on it, though it sounds a tad overly compressed. I donno, it still sounds cool, but that sound makes it sort of small-roomish. I feel like it would have been cooler if it felt... larger? But still, nice work on the mixing, it was very crisp and clean. Just needed to be "larger."

The piano was a real nice touch, it was really clean and calm and perfect for teh trance trackz 8D. And I like when the lead synth comes in at first just like the one measure of it. Although the buildup of the melody was a little bit long for my tastes but then again I don't know trance so there are a lot of things I can't comment on. I feel like it was not used enough. Like if it were me, being the mr mysterio that I am, I'd sort of introduce it filtered during the first part of the song somewhere, THEN go to the piano and introduce it totally.

Drums- not much to say, they sound nice and tight. Sounds good, though again this is a genre taste, some breaks in the drum beat (such as fills or something along those lines) would have been nice, but sounds fine without any. And of course that's my genre, and most likely not trance.

Synth choice- Awesome choices here. They all melt together perfectly to give the effect of a "view" into the future or something. The piano again was awesome. The "ah" or whatever that may have been, might have gotten a little on my nerves, but only when i concentrated on it because then it was all I could hear. The bassline was great, powerful yet original. It's nice to hear the kickbass was not used here (Kick-bass-kick-bass etc) Though you won't be hearing a change in that from me >8( so don't ask.

This may be one of the better trance songs on this site quality and contents-wise.

Btw, I just really listened to the little sine-type thing playing in the backround at the start, and it's really cool.

5/5
10/10

THANKS ENVY HOLMES YO YO YO

A lot of peoples have been saying that it sounds overly compressed, I did not personally compress it, maybe I need to widen the stereo or tone down on the sidechaining or something.

I felt like using the saw in the start but I'd tried that before with different tracks and when I listen to it it feels like I already grown tired of it by the time it really is introduced, but that was when I was a nub, so yeah I dunno, might've sounded better.

Yeah more fills, I get where your coming from there. I was overly focused on getting things syncopated well and eq'd good that I forgot to put any real work into making original fills. Could've done with some, especiialy in that long intro.

The 'ah' sound was from a pad sound from Nexus which I tried filtering just to get the sparkling sound it gave at the top end, I tried getting as much tonal sound I could out of it but couldn't get it out fully without muting it completely :(

I try to keep away from an offbeat bass rhythm, although it gives a lot of fullness, I try to make my own rhythms that leave gaps so it sounds more grooved and jumpy, and make up for the fullness in the pads.

Thanks for the looooooooooooooong review mr mysterio envyson. u r teh poonorz thanks. :):):):)
