Interesting piece

Well it almost sounded like a hip hop beat, It reminds me of one actually, that's why this has caught my attention. The chords are not bad, but I think some of them are miss placed because they sound wierd to my ear. The loop with the drums and such is good, its a different pattern then what I usually hear, I think you can improve this song with some new beats and maybe some more leads?

6/10- 3/5

The goal in this song is to feel emotion, not composition.

Need to finish

I really like this song, it has a good kick/bass and a catchy melody.

Some things to improve the song

1. Make an intro/outro, something basic like a kick/clap and some kind of mini melody to start of the song.

2. The main melody is really good but it does not have that fat analogue that I was hoping for, most tracks like this have that crazy fat sawish lead, I am sure you can fix that with ease.

3. Kick sounds kind of muddy to me, kind like its been darkened. If you have a compressor on it, turn the compression off a bit.

4. Some minor sounds to add, add some loops, claps, reverb, delays, and some cool automation and you are set.

Other than that, great work and can't wait to hear more from you

5/5 - 6/10 - Will DL the full version

Thanks man. I'll try some of those.

1) Its a WiP so I never thought of making one.

2) I know exactly what to do, but would sound too generic, we'll see.

3) No sort of compression on it, needs more EQing.

4) In my WiPs I mostly just make a short intro, and introduce what would be the "Middle" of that song. So I have much to add.

Other than that i'm not really crazy about this song or melody. Its too generic, way too generic.

I have a full nustyle song you might like, My punishment, would love your review on that one if you ever get the chance to check it out.

Clean and nice

I like this song a lot, It got my head rocking to the beat. I see that this song actaully sounds a lot better than the rest. I still hear distortion and some sounds peaking but like I said before, with time you will learn about it soon. All the sounds are very simple, maybe too simple, try adding some effects like a reverb here and there so that It sounds alive instead of a bunch of sounds playing on a time line. The songs must live and show others what it is about, if you make it this simple it sounds like a bunch of people playing each sound like machines. Im not sure if you understand, but to make it simple, songs should be alive, which means that they should keep the listener wanting for more. This song however is like a empty book waiting for a good story to be writtin inside

7/10 - 4/5

DUDE U KILLED MY 5 AHHHHHHH U OWE ME A 5 AHHHH LMAO!!!

yh alot of my hip hop beats are waiting for a rapper...

please dont lower anymore of my scores please T_T

Your right, its missing something

It is a good song overall and a good remix, but It is wayyy to short in my opninion. I like the funny synth and drums at the beginning, they were a nice touch. When the actual tiestio lead starts, I was hoping for a deeper and longer delay to keep it in motion instead of play/stop/next line. When the bassline/lead start it goes quite nicely, and at 2:50 i got into the mood for something epic, but then I realized that the song has ended, I taugh a crazy lead would come in and and even faster bassline would dominate the song. If you do make a newer version I would suggest to make a lead after the end and add some other sounds, some voicy chords, the same deep bassline to give it that good WOOHOO!!! song impression.

4/5 - 7/10

Mich responds:

I must say I completely agree with your review.
When I first started this I had it all planned out, long epic buildup to then break loose in the good ol' melody.

But sadly, I lost the spirit to go on. I realize that's it's totally not what it should be, but I figured that it was too good to just let it sit and rot in my projects folder. I don't like songs as short as this either.

Anyway, I doubt I'll make an extended version of this, maybe if I ever get some burts of inspiration for it or so.

Thank you very much for the honest review!

Future stars?

i can't give it a 10 since it is not complete yet, but I see that you have so much talent that you can make it to big name status. Keep making tunes and practice more and more. Never stop making music and always make it your own style, making a new style means you are the best at it and well people love new styles. I see a very bright and good road ahead for you. I am really happy that more and more young producers are becoming the next generation of music, I just hope that you will become one of the best of the new generation. Can't wait for the album.

Thanks so much for all the support!

Awesome!!!

This song is in a overall point of view, amazing. The beat behind the vocal is amazing, I love that cruchy saw sound, sounds like a really good distorted saw of goodness, the beat flows nicley, dosent get boring after a while or anything. The vocals could use some work but hell It is really good right now. I really really hope you succeed in the future, I will see if I can buy your future albums.

Keep that amazing music coming!

5/5 - 10/10 - DL'ed - Worshiped ( I only give it out to really really good songs ;D)

ApproachingNirvana responds:

Thanks for the review! As we've mentioned before we have been working on vocals for quite awhile. As this is a remix of a previous song, the vocals were used from the first version. Basically, this was one of our first vocal songs and while it was okay at the time, there was a lot of work to be done on the vocal performance and mixing. We've really gotten better with that - check out our Myspace for some sweet examples.

Thanks again! We hope we'll succeed as well - regardless of that, we'll keep giving to this community.

I hate you

I really do, BUT I REALLY LOVE THIS SONG, anyways, I don't hate you haha its just that this is such a awesome song that It made me jelous a bit haha. I love everything in this song, the bass is pretty nice, I like the parts with the sub bass. the lead sounds wierd to me but I like it, its very hands up-ish but I like it a lot. I'm guessing thats a pitched bass I hear? well it sounds excellent with the song. I love the part with the gated pads and piano, that was pretty epic, I don't see anything wrong with the song so far. Maybe add a thing or two to spice it up, but it is already spicy as a bag of coals coated in peppers lol. Amazing artist, amazing song, amazingness all over

5/5 - 10/10 - DL'ED!!! - Worshiped (All hail this song!)

Yodamanjaro responds:

...all for a song that is a year old? LOL

Thanks for the review dude.

There we go!

You have improved a lot since your first song, when every you introduce a new sound you dont leave the bass/loops keep playing over and over, you actually make a fill for them and that was a good idea. It is a bit repeatative but no worrys, its still a good song, I see a lot of good improvement on this, you had some sort of arp thing going on 2:22ish, try to make a lead and add some more elements as always. I like the song overall, you added more new addons/fills/loops and etc. Try to change the sounds around and its good :D

8/10 - 4/5

CKC2009 responds:

XD!!!!!!!!!! lol kool, but im still workin to get a 5/5 out of you

one day hmmm.

Good mix

Its a good mix indeed, you mixed the classical sounds like the strings nicley with the drums, although, those drums are soft, for a song like this, a song that has those kind of building chords play your drums loud and make it sound like battle drums if you know what I mean. Also add chords that play through out the song, I like the chords playing once in a while, the deep brass sound, but try adding some kind of strings playing to keep the song in motion. If you include all that I said, I'm sure this song will be better, remember, battle drums + powerful and meaningful classical strings sound amazing. Also it is a very simple and basic song, add some spice to it.

6/10 - 4/5

Nermio responds:

I will, Thanks!

Wierd, but good

This song is random, but in a good way, I like these types of songs that have many wierd elemnts playing, it add more creativity to the song and there for making it unique, I really like the violins and other strings on this followed by that drum loop. Things to add is fixing the synth that kinda swooshish through the song, maybe lowering the volume or somthing. Also try to manage the sounds, have your classical sounds playing, and then introduce your drum loops followed by the synths and randomness. I see good opportunities on this song.

7/10 - 4/5

B-man123 responds:

Thanks, I will take that into consideration. Maybe a revision.

EDIT: I made a revised version It can be found here. http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/258767
