[[LK] Freedom (WiP 3)]

sounds like basshunter

im not giving a too high score because im almost postive that this was taken from basshunter, you just changed a couple of notes but if someone listens to basshunter im sure you would recognize this... i give you a 8 for all fo the effects and some of the work that you put into this 8/10 4/5

LK412 responds:

Uhh this is definitely my own melody just because it sounds like something basshunter has it doesn't mean its his. There are so many combination of melodies poossible that there has to be one bound to be simalar to another one. Also tell me which song cuz i have never heard a basshunter song with a melody like this.

[RedSe7en - Fully Armed Joyride]

this is pretty sick

i think you could make the intro a little bit better but the rest of tune was fucking sick, very original. not much input for you because it's not my style but just because it isn't my style doesn't mean i don't like it =) 5/5 8.7/10

2.11 / 5.00 (+ 0.88)

Redse7en responds:

Yea, I kinda agree with you on the intro part. It did need a little more umph. I understand it's not your style fully. Over the past year I've been trying to make my own style more accustomed to my new taste. But regardless, thank you for taking the time to listen and voting according not to your preference but to the music quality, time taken and originality. I'll try to get back and review your stuff if you got any :)

Thank you,
RedSe7en

[Ovation _ RR]

lol ovation

doesn't remind me of it hahha but great dance song lol.

RenoakRhythm responds:

lol... ovulation? thats too funny.... ovation! :P

[Digital anthem[Instinks]]

R4RT =D

I really liked this track! It sounds like it could go well with a video game theme. I really liked the drums and the fast melody. The pads in the beginning don't sound smooth as they progress. I'm guessing this isn't finished since it's really short. So far though it sounds really nice. 5/5 9.5/10 4.12 / 5.00 (+ 0.14)

Instinks responds:

thanks for the review. I couldent agree more. Im using a program called Garageband using all loops so it was difficult for me to pick the right tempo at which the pads would flow correctly.

[Sex Sells _ Clip]

Sounds like satisfaction

I can hear that beny benassi beat =). I like the your demo here it sounds pretty professional. what program do you use? and can i contact you? ( may involve some income) Otherwise i cant really criticize anything on the song because its only the introduction/demo so far i will give it a 10/10 because i liked the intro =)

RenoakRhythm responds:

Sup. Thanks for the review.

Using FL Studios. You can contact me through a PM. I will send you one real quick. Rather not broadcast an email....:P

Thanks for the 10.

[xKore - I Love You]

Sweet!

I really liking the beat man. I like the vocals in the beginning. And i also like the use of the vocals throughout the song. The only thing that i suggest is that if i was able to listen to more of the lyrics >< but i guess it would make it more trance like instead of a house ><. i think thats what you were going for. I think its a little repetitive but nonetheless very enjoyable. 5/5 9.5/10

4.40 / 5.00 (+ 0.14)

Have a good one! I also think you have done much better than this...

xKore responds:

The reason I didnt have more vocals is simply because I can't get any more than that :D

anyway thanks for the review.

[Firebolt - Above(demo)]

Wow!

So i've just heard your music for the first time, and boy am i glad that i did. I liked the intro it was well done and i like how you used the ambient pads. I liked the effects that you used and crash as a transition. I also like your somewhat happy solid melodies, i thought they were great. I love when the energy is brought up when the drums kick in, it was a very enjoyable. This song seems like it should be longer than 3:00 and should be around 5 minutes plus. I know thats hard work but i think it would sound alot better. So the best things i thought were the use of your pads, the melody and the originality in the intro with some of the pads. I mean i've heard it before but i still think it isn't overused yet.. This song sounded kind of GOA trance around 1:30 but then it goes into a happy melody which i thought pretty cool and original. My only complaint is that the song ends very awkwardly and i think you could do more with that... 5/5 9.4/10 4.37 / 5.00 (+ 0.015)

Have a good one, and i can't wait to hear our next track!

FlamingFirebolt responds:

Thanks for the kind words :) It helps making future productions.
This song is currently 3 minutes, but it's still a demo. I think i WILL finish this one. Ending up in a massive 6 minutes trance track. ( DOUBLED SIZE ). Pads are weak, and i rushed the pads. I used the pads in the chorus and simply copy pasted it. So that's just lazyness :p. I will fix that asap. Origenality in the intro is already fixed in fact :O I got something planned to make it alot more intresting.
The song ended 'awkwardly' because it was just a demo :). Simple fast build, quick to just 1 chorus. And end. Hence, a demo. Don't worry, i'll fix it in time.

Thanks you liked it,

[Believe Again (Original Mix)]

One of the best songs on NG

I loved the intro and its melody with that arpreggio pluck (i think) that you used. I also really liked the pads you used and then where the effects came after. I really liked when the piano came in and then that new lead which was really awesome. I really liked the happy feeling to the song and the way you used the pads kind of like a bass ( im not too sure but i think =P.) I also liked the crash from the drums as a new transition. This really made me zone out like i usaully do when i listen to good trance songs =) Around 5:20 i loved the little riff you use because it reminded me of Sandstorm, im not saying its un original but i really liked it. All of the melodies in here were great and gave a pretty nice feeling to the whole thing. My favorite things are the use of the pads, the drums, and how you introduced the song but not so much how you ended it. Around the end i think you could have dismissed a bit better because it didn't really flow into that effect you used at the end in my opinion, but thats just me.

Otherwise this is one of my favorite trance songs on NG and i can't wait to hear more stuff from you!!

5/5 10/10 i voted 5 already on this today but i didn't record how much it increased =/ Anyways cya and have a good one!
Also added to my favorite artists =)

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thank you outlawchesus! Yehh the pads are easily one of my favorite things about this song, Im really glad you liked it.

Thanks for commenting!

[Kazmo - Hard Trance [WIP]]

Wow amazing work!

This is very well done my friend, congratulations on the top 5 it is well deserved! I also love the lead that you made it sounds really cool. It sounded a bit repetitive up to 1:30 until you changed the melody slightly with a saw. ( i think). I loved the main melody that you made with that lead you made it fits really well. There are only a few complaints that i have is that i would have liked to hear some more drums and that i think the song ends awkwardly because i don't think there is really a ending.. And the last thing i think is that it does seem a bit repetitive. I give you a 5/5a nd a 9.5/10

Very well done, and i hope to hear more from you or maybe even a extended version or remix of this. You put a lot of work into this one ( i think. )

On a side note, don't take my suggestions to harshly because i don't know much about music but i dotry to make some. Anyways have a great day!

Kazmo responds:

It's not done yet, and I can't update this one, because it became so popular too quickly lol!!!

Thanks for the advice and in-depth review!!! :D

[Epic Trials and Tribulations 4]

Amazing!

Great piece here man, i love it! Around 1:03 i think string that comes into sounds a little wierd. I really liked the vocals and how you used to the strings to go with them. This sounds like it could be in one of those RPG games with a trailer, i think it would fit fairly well. I loved the build up from the beginning it sounded very professional. My favorite parts were from the beginning to around :50. It would have been cool if you used the drums alot more and made it sound even more epic than it already is. I really liked the composition you made, its simply great. I think if you added a drum kind of like this http://www.newgrounds.com/audio/liste n/177990 it would sound more of a cool movie feel. I love your work and i would love to hear more from you, i will be keeping track of your music from this day forward! Also don't take my review seriously i really don't know much about music but i do and try to create my own even without having any eduction in it. Anyways can't wait to hear more from you in the future, goodbye for now!

paradoxphenomena responds:

Sorry for the late reply, thanks for the review. Funny enough the drums always seem to be lacking for one person or another but I'll be sure to take into consideration what you've said and definitely look forward to hearing from you again.
