You should have upped this for the MAC08 Maddness contest ;)

lunchmeat63 responds:

is it too late? :c

oh well. Yes it's a mess. That's why I live breakcore. Thanks for the review!

[Armagelion - Djump]

sounds good.

Cool use of sounds and well mi. Keep up the creativity.xed together with catchy kicks and little twists, that shows a *worked out* track.
Its kinda upbeat VS a darker undertone (if you catch my drift).
Its a bit to slow for my personal liking but that is a personal view.
Build-up to your lead is well done.
Got no specific negative aspects on this track but in my dance world I would not call this harddance (sorry I am really picky but heej I am alloud to being a dutchie and staying in the middle of the scene lol).

Keep up the creativity

[CKEY - The Battlefield]

catchy ;)

Flows well, catchy vocals (instead of annoying, if people gonna bomb you for that they got no knowhow of creativity ;p). Cool subbazz (adicted to basses).
Would perfectly fit on a D&B party dancefloor.
Hopefully it will be picked up for a cool movie.

SREvol responds:

hehe thanks for the great review! i had a ton of fun cutting the vocals (it's from gundam wing btw) and throughout the whole song i was just bouncing in my chair to the bass lol, it's an awesome bass with awesome wobble to it and im glad you liked it as much as I did.

much love

[swing on the swing]

If I was able to...

... make a flash for this i would have done it immidatly ;p.
Sadly... I am on NG for the AP... ;).
Still, the idea is quiet funny, would be wonderfull if you would record it a bit more properly.

[Don't Give a Damn]

Different but still NemzStylo

Hi Nemz,

Good to see you got a new upload on NG ;).
Lovely how you just take a little trip in your own mind
trying something else then you normally do, still (and I am glad)
its overall clear that its a 100% Nemesis styled track.
Love the beginning and especially the little twist on the lead tones.
Very good and well balanced bass ( for sure in my new studiocorner ;p).

Waiting for the final result.
Talk to ya later!

Carf!

NemesisTheory responds:

hi!

haha, a trip in my mind is pretty weird i must tell you :P

I'm glad you like it!
I'm not sure if i am going to change it ... i'm actually out of ideas >.<
but i'll see what I can do :P

thanks for the review :)

Double...

You asked for a devined review, o sorry, you asked for a nice one. Now I gt choose between staying polite or give you some REAL advice from my point of view. And I think I have got the right to speak after making digital music for over 12 years (Part time!)

Sorry I am not a *ooow heej what a cool track* reviewer, I rather give you something extra like a piece of advice.
Intro:
The sounds of the piano, the pling pling just kills the whole trance idea. It sounds more like an old rave track then trance to me, but heej that is my opinion.
Build up:
The lead synth and melody are a bit to much been here done that, altrough the way the piano comes back and takes over the lead is done really well, especially the fade in of the beat. Still for my feeling its missing background to get a real spine. You know how to handle software that is for sure, but its not a masterpiece which I would like to hear back on a party.
Ending:
It is to short with a 2:49 to call a complete track... just a simple fade-out is NOT an ending. Maybe you should add some vocals to play with from the beginning, middle and to end with.

Mastering is nothing more then give every sound its own level of avaidability, what you should do is bring the track MORE to life.
I also would advice a DEEPER bassdrum, it will give your track a lot more potential.

Good luck with making music, you KNOW what you are doing, my advice is try to put *just a bit more* effort in your final product.
Please take my words in concideration before flaming and blaming, I ment it positive, otherwise i would not take the time to write this all down for ya.

C!

NX177 responds:

well the thing is... lol... this is all i can really do.
i totally get what u mean and i take all ur stuff as good stuff, but you have to remember that im 16 years old, i do this in my spare time, and im no 12 year music maker like u. ive only made music for not even a year.
ill take ur advice, but i know i wont use it cuz idk what else to do to this track.

btw, i just put it in trance cuz thats what it mostly sounds like. the piano, yes, i know is not really trancy. its more of a what u said older rave, techno.

overall, ill try and try to get much better for u and people like u that have made music for long

i know 2:44 is a track. YES, a track. a song is a song no matter how long it is. but i see what u mean.

oh and that DEEPER bassdrum, ILL FREAKING DO THAT!!!!! :D

thanks for the long review, even if i dont agree with some things!

[rollin up big]

Nice!

luv the low bass, sorry that was the first thing that came up. Very well devined deep going track. lots of times when people uploading HH beats without vocals people start to cry *why arent their any vocals* well, the probably forget that ONLY a beat would be way better for movies/games on NG as vocals would only distract a movie. Keep them coming!

[Flash Report]

keep up the good work

hmms could be intresting for an intro at a game, hope for ya that someone picks it up.

trumpetplyr29 responds:

Thanks !

[Kraid Rmx #2]

... eeerw ....

was it already finished...?
DONT get me wrong but it sounds like *my first fruityloops project* no offence but realise that with uploads like this you are placing yourself in a very fragile position, flames and blames will come... I am afraid... warned ya...

[SMS Ricco Harbor [orchestra]]

messy...

its like you have let EVERY sound a release time thats way to overated... its becomes one big mess with tones who goes over another one... maybe you have played a bit to much with reverbs?not sure... Its not that I dont like it but a cover/remix should have a little ADD ON, for me this doesnt add something on to the original... still keep up the good work. Its not negative, I mean, you prove that you are able to handle music software, now GO and make an original version ;)

BowserThedestructive responds:
