[B0unc3 New Test Omg!!!]

Great for a test

-Gets right into it with a vocal that just seems to fit the style of your music. Almost all of it is incredibly up beat and relatively fast, so that fits nicely. It then cuts into a nice fast synth with a higher pitched one doing melody. Works pretty well, but it seems to be a bit empty or bare. Couldn't tell you for the life of me what to put in there, though, sorry :p

-That fadeout has to go or be revised, in my opinion. It just doesn't... flow. Once again, being relatively unskilled at making music, I couldn't tell you what to do with it, but it needs a change. The remainder of the body plays out well enough, but could use a little alternate melody thrown in there for a bit to break up the monotony.

-That fadeout shutdown ending makes it loop perfectly (big plus), but it sounds a tiny bit rushed. Give it a bit more time and it should be alright.

Amazing

This had me raving till the very end! One thing though... just a teensy bit repetitive. Still gonna give it a 10/10, 5/5 tho. I put this one on my iPod! (Oh and one little side note... for some reason I seem to prefer your techno/ trance songs to any other types of songs you make so if you could make more of that, that'd be awesome XD. But I'm not you, do whatever you want. This is a perfect example of your types of song that I like: fast, and insane to the very end! Although I do like some of your slower ones. But I'm just babbling at this point,) Anyway keep up the good work CAB! Looking forward to more!

Good job

I've never heard anything like this, it really is a true work of art. The mixing of sounds, the percussion, the background harmony... everything about it is exceptional. It's pretty long, and it never gets boring or repetitive, you keep it lively and I like it. I like all of your music, you're a talented composer, but this, in my opinion, by far surpasses your other works. Keep up the excellent talent

Catchy

It's just so catchy... it really makes you feel like you're on top of the world. And then when you added the guitar it just sounded so cool... To sum it up, yet another great track from one of the best artists on the audio portal.

[{Forever Young} [cnb Remi]

Good song

This track was nice, but, as I've been learning, Happy Hardcore here is different then happy hardcore in the 90's. This stuff is like faster trance with some slightly different synths and breakdowns. However, the music from back then ("Classic" Happy Hardcore) was totally different. Where the kickdrum COULD sound distorted. Back when cheesy pitched up vocals was ok, and encouraged. Whatever, I didn't live through it.

[Bittersweet Symphony Remix VIP]

Excellent

Usually a remix is somewhere along the same lines as the original song. But this remix takes an awesome song to a completely different genre. Ingenious. Very well done. I must say this is as close to a perfect mix as you can get.

[Penalty (FL-Core) {Dj-Abbic}]

It's ok

-I'm starting to get the feeling that everyone is using the same type of Oscillation from FL studio. Third song from the competition that I have reviewed using the same type. It does sound good but you didn't do enough to make it sound above and beyond. The amount of time that you worked on this shows that.

-The bass and snare are very deep and hit hard. It makes the melody sound better than it would have otherwise. As said before the 3xOsc sounds great but it seems like it's the standard and you need to do a lot to make it sound better than everyone else's submissions for this competition. The clap was alright but i'm not sure if you can do much with it considering you have to use the stock sounds from FL. The cymbal however sounds suprisingly crisp.

-The song is very repetitive in the whole of things. It seems to just cycle around the melody without too much variation. It does come in nicely with successive beats coming in louder and louder but when it reaches it's peak it just stayed stagnant for a bit before you brought in the clap. You could remove part of it or add something to make it sound better. The fruity part introduced at :45 is a welcome change but it's about all that was different.

-Getting back to the snares you used. I think they were excellent choices to go along with the bass. Throughout the song they were in rythm with each other and complimented each other nicely. It was the main focal point of the song and it sounded great. It was just a bit repetitive using it the entire time without too much else overlayed.

Well, about the osc, I'm not a pro at 3xOsc, and I have no idea how to make it sound 'above and beyond'. Thanks for the review and comments though :)

[Clayface - Zanarkand]

Those darn loops...

-Doing their loopty-loops with the sound. The only problem was that it didn't loop that well. The end abruptly dropped off and it started back up at the beginning. Leave more letdown time at the end to get the song to sound relatively close at the beginning and end of the loop.

-I found it to be really good otherwise. It has a very catchy melody that pumps you up and makes you want to get right into something. The bass kick was just at the right amount as to not just overpower the melody.

-The break in the middle added a nice touch to an otherwise progressive song. It gave it that break to add additional elements and make the song more multifaceted.

[I-Saved-The-World: FL Core]

Good start

-I never even knew there was a genre called fruity core. I'd heard music similar to this but I just assumed it fell into another techno genre. I guess I learned something today.

-The main melody stayed very consistent with increasing levels of bass. You layered this very nicely since everything flows together. The vocals are inserted it seems at random but the repeated line doesn't have any drawbacks as far as becoming stagnant and repetitive. You did plenty of variation around it to make it sound good.

-Even though there were parts that stayed almost the same throughout you added so many additional layers that were very dynamic. Transitioning from a fast paced fruity sound to a slow paced more vibrant sound in parts with vocals.

-I'm going to have to gripe about the percussion. It was very weak and was drowned out for most of the song. You could hear it well in the intro but even then it doesn't sound that good. Try using something different in my opinion.

-It's a good start but a few tweaks here and there would help it sound better.

I-Saved-The-World responds:

Thanks very much for the review. :) fruity core isnt really a genre, it just means that i was using all the stock effects from FL studio to produce it. Sadly, this is also one of the reasons the drum kit sounds so... blahhh. xD

Again, thanks for your review :)

[College Jam]

It's ok, could be better.

-The guitar chords are quite lively even if they aren't very complicated. You used them nicely to vary the volume and pitch of the song. It did however become repetitive very fast to me. You fiddled with the melody in one or two spots but it stayed very stagnant throughout.

-Even if you aren't going to do anything to improve this one try to add more variety in future things you make. Making longer audio tracks will allow you to play with things just a bit more too.
