[Souper Loop 1]

Interesting

I don't here these types of songs much but it did strike to my attention. The first couple of seconds are nice, with the effect and drum loops, but once that wierd synth that sounds like a some type of horn with a slight LFO on it, well I don't think it matched that well, also i noticed the song suddenly ended. Thing to add to this is a lead build up, the song from the start has a good flow, the guitar-ish synths come in and get me in the mood of listening to a good calm song. Add more powerful chords, the effects are good as it is, some sort of lead build up, or any build up in that matter.

7/10 - 4/5

Syntrus responds:

no my song. thx for the insight.

[Endeavour - SummerStorm]

Yea!!!

This is a pretty chilled song, its not something crazy and yet its not something like trance. I really like the melody, its very simple but yet it dominates the song. You did a really nice job introducing new sounds, instead of just playing them after a couple of bars you slowly progressed and introduced the sound. The sounds being played are not bad too. I like all the saws and the chords are very smooth throught out the song. This to add/fix, well the song does get a bit repeatative, maybe try making a diffrent lead to fit the song and mix it in the song. The bass is quiet, I hear the punch but its very weak and It almost feels as if there is no bass at all. Some of the loops you played don't match the song, for example the loop with the wood instrument or what ever it is. One thing I can think of is, start the song as a classcial song or a trance song and slowly progress into the song it is. I hope you guys will make a better version soon, and also this is your first song on NG, I must say its very good.

5/5 - 9/10 - Will DL the full version

Endeavour responds:

Hello DJ Sumara.

Thanks for the good review you gave us.
Yes, we were thinking about making it a classical trancesong.
But this song is made for NG, so we had to make it fast paced.
Many ppl here listen for only 10 seconds to a song and vote after that.

The chance is bigger they will vote low or even zero bomb it if i have an intro with only pads and a bass.

But thanks about the bassmentioning. we didn't think about that.
Thanks for voting and dropping a revirew,
greets Endeavour and Paperman.

[Final Voyage I]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT!!!

Sorry for my outburst there, but holy god dam, I love this song, you have no idea how much I love it. This is really really epic, it sounds something from LoTR or a medevil battle scene. I can't belive how professional it is. The main line, the chords, EVERYTHING = God like. The build up for this is soo great, the bass at the begining got me into a really nice battle mood, then the strings and drums start hitting. OMFG I could go on forever talking about this but to sum it up. This song is really really really really fooking good, everything in the song is soo great, I hope to god you will make more music like this other wise I will go crazy haha, I have never ever heard anyone make something as epic as this, the only people who make this kind of music is the true master minds behind music, like in LoTR, Sony staff and stuff. I hope you become a famous composer one day cause this is just too good.

One mroe time, HOLY FUCK SHIT THIS IS EPIC <3!

PGegen responds:

Thanks for the review! I do certainly plan on making more music like this, but it's hard to find time around this time of year. In the long term, I do certainly plan on very actively composing and developing as a musician.

Thanks for the feedback!

[Tetra Arsenic RMX]

What the Fook!!!

Haha tetris will never ever get old, anyway, back to the song. The intro with the drums and the guitar is good. When the guitar plays it sounds god like, Im really loving the dist and the guitar. The drums are nice and calm, nothing to crazy going on. I think you did a excelent job putting this song together.

Are you playing power chords or just play drop d? and what guitar is that?

5/5 - 10/10 - DL'ed - F'vd

Good work!!!

DJ Sumara

PGegen responds:

I'm playing an ESP 7-string with standard tuning - BEADGBE (low to high). The dist tone is from a podXT.

Thanks for the review!

["Technation" (WIP)]

Saws are ftw!

Well right off the bat, I can tell you used a lot of saws for this lol, anyway, this song is really realy nice. I love the melody and those saw pads are freaking amazing. It is a very aggresive song with its saws and make me want to party with a tie on my head and my socks on my ears. I really cant wait for the final product, things to add, hmm,let me think. Well you could add more saws :D, but try getting the full song to make a flow, make some gated pads or arps in there and it will be great. It reminds of me a harderstyle of Benny Bennasi to bo honest. Like i said, arps, gates, maybe a deeper bass? and this will be god-like

9/10 - 5/5 - DL - Fav'd

Rukkus responds:

Thank you for the review and all of those suggestions. :) They are very helpful and ill be sure to incorporate them into my final version.

[Silent Tears [Orch]]

Wow

I really cant explain how good this song is. Everything fit so well together, this has to be the best classical song on NG, and probally one of the best overall in NG. This song is so settle and calm but yet it gives out so much good emotions. I really feel the emotions of this song, my girlfriend and I had a fight today :/ and I know how you feel. I am a hardcore die hard fan of techno and harder music but this song has really got my attention. I really hope you will make more music like this, its so good I really cant explain it.

10/10 - 5/5 - DL - Fav'ed

Dj-Flux responds:

Classical is probably going to be my prominent genre from now on, I hope.

I can really let my emotions soar.

[[dj-J] Breakbeat#1]

Well..

I can see good improvement on this song, some aspects did not feel write with the song, for example the strings did not match the song and the effects you use like a deep bass or what ever it was, it dosen't sound right to me, its seems that you want to make a spooky hip-hop beat with wierd strings and even more wierd effects.

6/10 - 3/5

DJ Sumara

jkrox4eva responds:

Alright, thanks. Yeah, its just a breakbeat thats been stuck in my head. The hardest part is adding on to melodies and the drums I come up with. I have so many ideas I just cant find out how to continue on the song.
-Check out some of my other songs if you want though, they're better.

[Insane Messiah]

Relaxing

The song got a good soothing and relaxing feeling, but the think I dont like is the snare and the drum loops, you have to add some warmth to it. The snare sounds blocked and plain, try EQ'ing it and giving it some more power. The long bassline/chords sounded too wierd for me, it sounds too plain, maybe making it a diffrent saw or something, but I see a lot of possible improvemen on this. Try adding a moment when a soft piano is playing with some emotional chords playing. Hope to hear more from you :D

7/10 - 4/5

Sgfvideos responds:

Thanks for the advice i'll edit it when i get some time :)

[Guitars MAKE IT]

Nice!

This is a cool song indeed my fellow, it reminds of the times when I played Counter-Strike and I would always listen to this type of music. On to the song, everything matches perfectly, the intro was chilling, and kinda spooky but once that bassline and drum loops hit it changed the feeling. Its a good song overall, I would like to see this worked on some more, maybe make it longer and add some other aspects to this.

8/10 - 4/5 - DL

Sgfvideos responds:

Thank you! i'll think about it :).

[Dance,Dance,DANCE!!]

Interesting

I never heard anything like this. I really like the first 10 seconds of the song wit the strings and guitar, and 56-1:03, but the thing I don't like about it is the wierd changed through out the song. It change to a wierd techno-ish feel to a country type of music. I don't think this is techno too, most techno I hear has crazy basses and cool leads but this is diffrent than the rest. Its not that bad for a first experiment to be honest. If you have to listen to my older songs you would be shocked on how much I was bad, anyway, I would like to hear a song with the 56-1:03 part, I don't know why but I really like it

7/10 - 4/5

Koomie responds:

Most of the song was clips i mashed together truthfully.. ^^; i tried to create something cool, and i only posted it as "techno" because that's all i really listen to on NG.. Danke for the comment!
