[requiem fo' a dream DNB RMX]

Ehh :(

-Honestly this remix had a lot wrong with it. I know how difficult it is to remix a song with that much already going on at once. The intro clashes a bit to begin with and doesn't get alleveated too much when the actuall drum and bass elements begin.

-At times the violin seems a bit off and sounds like it needs tuning. The cause could be from having used a slightly different note. I'm not entirely sure though.

-Overall the song seemed too cluttered and had a tad too much repetitiveness for it to sound good to me.

jpgregorio responds:

thx, the "Violin"(it was strings :P) melody was from a midi, i tried not using it but i not really good at remaking melodies by hearing them. it was just a thing i did for fun, so it obviously was gonna be like that, if i actually put time in it (like i did in the "power of drum&bass") it would probably be better. well bye now.

[dubstep wip]

Well

-The wobble in the short loop had a nice reverberating touch to it where it doubled over. It complimented the kick of the drum nicely.

-It comes in nice with the first six seconds of audio but the break in between wobbles sounds a bit awkward to me and could of benefitted from a different drum combination.

-The abrupt end makes it seem like you just left it and never came back to it. I usually don't like work that isn't finished. If you ever get the time to you should.

SessileNomad responds:

i had never worked on a wobble before, so i decided to throw it up here for input on it, generally my wips have a lot more work on them :)

[Deep in the <3 of Us (instr)]

Well

-I think you did a nice job overall of mixing things up as far as the pace goes. Many different chord combinations, subtle use of the drums, finger snaps, and slight static( I liked it even if it might not of been intentional).

-It came in a bit light for me though. I think the guitar could of been brought in a little earlier.

MarkArandjus responds:

The static was intentional, I just felt like it would bring some warmth to the sound :)
Thanks for reviewing!

[Our Nova Pt. 2]

Pt.2>Pt.1

-This is one great example of when slower is better. It brings everything out in full swing.

-I really enjoy the deeper tones that you added to the same melody. It gives me the impression of a whistling wind coming through. Brushing your troubles away and as you say "start anew".

-In my opinion it is much better than the first installment since it gives you a little time to relax and listen to the song rather than trying to keep up with the song.

-I honestly couldn't find anything that had an issue in this one. It's very versatile too for the fact that it will work for a lot of things which makes it very likely to be used in other people's work.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Thanks! This is one of the reviews I've been looking for! I totally agree, I like this one way more than part one, but the majority of NG thinks otherwise for some reason. Yea, I love the melody here. It's actually not the same, but its similar, using the same note sequences (like D, C#, then A; G, F#, then D; and my favorite, A, G then F#). Also, both songs are in D major. In this song, I arpeggiated the melody so it has more rhythm and spice.
Yea, I know you had no issue with this one. That's what I've been wanting to hear. I tried my absolute best, to make this my best song yet. And it is. But its kinda odd how part one is doing a lot better than this one.
Yes, hopefully this would be used in other people's work! If you know of anyone who is willing to have any of my songs in their work, just persuade them to!

Thanks for the nice review!

[Our Nova Pt. 1]

Wow

-The pace was blisteringly fast but it's not too fast at the same time. Nice use of a fast pace with slower additions. It shows for a nice blended song that is suitable to me.

-Very happy song that just makes me want to get up and dance. It just seemed a bit repetitive until the end when you slowed it down.

-Review Request Club.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Haha thanks! Aww, you cut off the 10 streak lol, haha its all good though! I'm glad you liked it, and thanks for the review!

[Stargenx - Epic Jam]

Well

-This is definitely an epic jam of sorts. Something to get you pumped up and to get you out of your seat.

-Firstly i'll say that I liked what you had going with the background. Calm, yet it helped progress the song nicely. Well paced and made the bass kick that much more(when implemented).

-I think you could of made this a bit longer though. It feels a little shortcoming being less than two minutes. To me the song was still building and then it just abrubtly ended makeing me feel a little dissapointed. It's not like you can never work on something similar to this later though.

Stargenx responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm not very good at extending things. I like my songs short and sweet. :| I'm sorry if it's too short. You're right.

[p4c-Existentialism]

Well

-Since you said it was a low quality upload I just had to check it out on your link.

-I will have to say it makes so much difference hearing it in it's full entirety and a downgraded version to fit here. It would be nice if the size limit was increased but it's very unlikely that will happen.

-There is so much variety in this song that you can click in two different parts of the song and they sound so different. I like that and it makes it so much more enjoyable to listen to.

-The intro and outro are my favorite parts for the sheer fact that they are so much different from the rest of the song and they both have their own melodic distinction compared to the big chunk of the song in the middle. I'm not saying that the middle was bad but I thought it had too many drop-offs from the flow of the song.

-Review Request Club

p4c responds:

haha yeah i totally understand what you mean. im not sure if by the intro and outro you mean when the beat kicks in, or when literally the very beginning and end, but definitely the parts where the beat are in full force are my favorites. im glad i made it varied enough to catch your attention, and thanks for the review! :)

[[herd] First Hip-Hop song [WIP]

Well

-Right now i'm just going to have to say do something about that title. No originality even if it is your first hip-hop song. Just make something up for a title that you feel fits it.

-The strongest thing you have going for this is the nice intro which is solid and has definition to it with the nice drum background. I think you were stretching yourself at the end though by trying to do too much with the song and ending up with a mess of instuments that clashed to me. Just try and rework it a little and get back to where you were at the beginning.

-It's a good thing I read the author comments or I would of downgraded you for the repetitiveness of the song. Lyrics would be a nice addition if you ever did get around to it. It's a solid background with just enough differentiation and kick to not feel dull and get drubbed out.

-Review Request Club

Herdunculus responds:

Ah yes. This is a WIP so i will definetly change the ending a bit...

The title does need some work i guess XD.

You thought I was to do vocals? NO WAY. I don't do vocals lol. Maybe someone else will?

Thanks for an awesome review.

[_Dancing With Demons_]

Well

-I loved the ambient intro that you had followed by the little spider-tip drum addition at :35. Not only this but you also melded it well with a clap and created a solid beat.

-I was not however turned on by how you messed with the volume and brought it down to a really slow paced light song. It became just a weak version of what it could have been.

-It had some nice overall length to it but it was very repetitive at times and seemed to drag on a little for me. Try mixing things up for best results.

Birdinator99 responds:

Hmmm; good ideas! Thanks for listening :)

[Modern Warfare]

Well

-It's a bit short overall and must be finished because even unpolished and finished it's very well done.
-I actually thought it was more serene and focused than intense but i'd keep the base back tune you have going since it has a nice feel.
-The intro and outro just didn't seem to fit into the rest of this work though.
-I give you a thumbs up on coming back to this.

popraz responds:

I appreciate the review, very helpful. I will keep the tune, and I'll try to work it into something better. I am thinking of doing a really big song, like a suite of themes, which hopefully won't feel like one, that will definetly incorporate these themes. Thank you !
