City Bass Light (preview)

"This brights up my monday morning."

date: October 6, 2008

Wow that intro seriously caught my attension, well done. Nice build up, good use of sounds, nicely mastered. Not much to complain ;). Now let me enjoy this track.

(after 2 minuts...) Very nice build up, or as I like to say it, very nice storytelling. It gives me a bit that *Black hole records* idea from years ago. Tiesto's first mix cd's. In search of sunrise. Well, keep it up, you defenetly know what you are doing. First 10 that goes out today ;). And a 5+Download

Flight in Freedom__RR (MAC 8)

"Good attemp"

date: October 6, 2008

Good luck @ the MAC this month ;) I am gonna wait a while before posting. But its a very good point of inspiration ;) Is it an airplane flowing on your melodies? ;p

THanks for the good luck, I hope you do well as well. This is my first so i'm kinda clueless to what is expected. Oh and good news i'm exporting the file again with new pianos... unfortunately its taking over an hour so far to export, the nice thing about FL keys was that it didn't eat up as much CPU. Hey let me know when you upload your submission.

RR

Oh and the melody, i've kinda left out what i'm imagining while listening to this , but... the beginning is suppossed to sound like the plane is taking off then the rest is flying and the different emotions... then near the end where i throw it through a filter and it sounds distant and muffled is suppossed to sound like the passenger in the plane is closing his eyes and just taking in the flight, then he opens his eyes again as they are flying into the sunset... the end.

Renegade (Original Mix)

"keep it up."

date: October 6, 2008

First thing that caught my attension was the way you managed to give the background an intresting vibe. I love mixed and fixed sounds on for and background, it gives a track lots of depth. Altrough I am missing a *stable lead* it sounds like a good background for a game or something like that here on NG. keep up the good work, you know what you are doing ;).

Kazmo - Satellite RMX

"Good job"

date: October 6, 2008

Intro starts off good, so that is already promising. You got my attension. Its overall a very well balanced and standarized trance track, with standarized in a positive way. Overall it listens away quiet easily. Good job, that is for sure. Did you fixed the vocals aswell or was it a *stumbled upon* sample?

Keep up the good work

Thanks for dropping a review!

I'm still not quite sure what you mean by your question "Did you fixed the vocals aswell or was it a *stumbled upon* sample?", feel free to PM me to clarify that.

Thanks again.

Shoot em Up Level

"Oldschool"

submission: Shoot em Up Level
date: October 3, 2008

Good ol Doom feeling when it was all MIDI back then ;)
I would only like to hear a bit more crisp clear bass and snair sounds... it would bring a lot of smoothness into your track, but heej that is my point of view.
keep up the original work, I like it.

Esdeer - Universe (Full)

"Approved!"

date: October 3, 2008

Your english is forgiveng... could not find any reason why not ;).
Loved your track, it fits the perpose of a BossBattle theme perfectly. I tried it once and had a lot of fun while making it. its so different to produce music from this point of view. keep up the good work, and know that Zerobombers automaticly admit that it does say more about THEIR skills then yours, its SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH easier to push that 0 button then to produce a track which stands on its own!

Keep up the creativity!

First hip hop beat

"Good start"

submission: First hip hop beat
date: October 3, 2008

First beat ever made? Well then you receive some probs and I hope you try to get the hang of it. Some points of intrest. I hear a nice flow of melodies and I can hear that you defenetly tried to put some effort in your work. A point to keep in mind is that mastering is a form of art. Its the basic of getting a crisp clear sound so you have to balance ALL your sounds. the reason why I point this out is because you have tried to use a very low bass from time to time (that pooooofffff sound) and it pushes away the overall sound so you get an unbalanced 2 seconds each time as that hard bass comes in...

I hope these words help you to become better in producing music, its for sure that you should go on with what you are doing :).

It's All a Dream

"dreamy sounds"

submission: It's All a Dream
date: October 3, 2008

dreamy for sure... but it seems that you have been *playing* around a bit to much and it did not worked out that well in my opninion... lots of snaires and kicks are out of sync and it is not a real benefit... the track itself is hard to follow and becomes quiet repeditive. The vocals are mixed trough the track nicely. At some points to many sounds trying to earn their place on the front and they push away to many sounds to the back and then it gets quiet confussing what is all happening...

keep up the good work, you know what you are doing, that is for sure. ALL the words that I wrote down are my point of view and we are all here to learn from one another :0 Its creative sharing and caring.

October 3, 2008

Author's Response:

You don't like the offbeat snare huh? Thats a bummer, I thought it was cool. And for the record, I prefer the term *experiment* vs. *play* heheh. I think you're right about the mastering though, I'll have to go back and redo it, bring the noise loop down a bit in parts so the strings and such can flourish. Thanks for the critique :)

back aga1n

"okay but it could be improved"

submission: back aga1n
date: October 3, 2008

Loved vocal at the beginning but then it just drops in quality... the sounds are a bit to 1990... lacking that quality synths that we have got these days. it needs powerrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!! Where did you get the vocals, its a pitty you did not wrote out an explanation for this. Its obvious that you work longer with the programs then today so download some good VST's and replace your sounds with some decent synths, believe me, you will like it way more better yourself aswell.
Keep up the creativity.

Author's Response:

Thank u very much for the honest review!!!!
Believe me, if i would know where i got those voicesamples, i would tell!!! But when u got a few thousand samples together, u don't know where u got that specific one from, sorry. maybe it's from an old Ejay disc, dunno....
and about the 1990 sound, i didn't want it that way, but my friend did LOL!
Next time MOOOAR POWERRRR!!! Yes Sir!!!!!
Thanx
