[Clayface - Sound of My Dream]

awkayz

Hey man! Long timesince i last reviewd ur songs:P
I'm gonna be totally honest with you now.. It's up to you if you like it or not :P
I like this song alot:D the vocals sound nice, and i love the second melody :P
But there are alot of things I don't like that much..
The kick sounds a bit weird.. it's like it isn't really part of the song.. Maybe it's the way you mixed it.. It also sounds a little bit too VEC-ish.. the synth was nice, though it sounds like a standard sample in nexus.. The buildup was pretty nice though!
I also hear a very fermiliar synth at the last chorus:P is this z3ta?
the percussion could be alittle more complicated.. I hear a kick and clap.. no hihats? and the clap kinda overpowerd the kick.. that shouldn't be right..
The pads were nice in te beginning!
Try doing some on your transitions.. Like the snarerolls.. try building it up ... and using another sample then the one ur playing with the beat .. If you get me:P try putting more reverb on the crash, and using Delay Bank instead of Delay 2.. delay 2 sucks ass.. :P

I hope im not to rude wif ya..
Im trying to be constructive:P

[Swerve - Rip]

My opinion;D

HMM! Nice =D
It has a nice overall feeling but there are alot of things you could work on:P
the intro is nice.. but the fact u used the same samples as in your main beat isn't very good in my opinion.. I think you could be more creative with the breakbeat too.. it doesnt fit with a huge strong kick which you used:P
there is this noisy cracky sound through the whole song.. Get rid of it :$ I don't like it:P The beat was nice, but still quite simple if i hear that right:P But for 4 hours of work, pretty good song:D
I understand that you don't want to make things repetetive but this changing bassline sort of thing is bothering me.. Try keeping in one bassline, but adding more synths, and make the beat complicated.. just ayou told me.. now try for yourself too then:P
The end was good, the perc thingy, i loved it:D
The bass was very nice:D I think this'd be pure electro sound though.. It doesn't have alot of aspects of real electro house in it:P i can send you some cool songs to listen to to what i think is real electrohous:D
these swirly pads throughout the song were pretty cool, not to abrupt and stuff, good work:D
I take my words back on the mixing, it sounds pretty fucking good, it all matches well, and i can hear everything clearly:D
It was a pretty good song, though i somehow know that you could do way better..
in my opinion, buildup is your weak point..
This sounds good, though i doesnt give me the feeling of a full song-like.
I want to help you with that if i may, and if ur not mad at me now for my criticism..
I liked it, don't get me wrong, these chords were gr8, the bass was fucking awesome, but there are so many things you could learn, i know i'm not that good.. but i think i still have the rights to tell you these things:$
so!
Keep it up, you'll get there :D
i somehow think that we are both born to make music:P Look how early we started, and what we've become.. we are both still into this shit:P

NICENEZZ!
4/5 tbh
8/10

G'day m8!

Swerve responds:

I don't hear a crackling noise.. Hmm. Well, to be honest this is sort of a joke/test thing, I just wipped this up in like 4 hours. The beat was supposed to be simple, that is called a minimal beat lol. But you might be right, if I would be taking this track for a proper revisit, then I might add to the beat. But not too much. Less is more, as they say. Complicated beats ain't always the shit.
Changing bassline? You mean the different patterns for the bass? Well that was intentional, as the song mostly centers around the cardboard bassline, so I tried to keep my main element varied, if you understand. It has some DnB influences in bass-terms, so it has to be "changing".
Build-Up indeed is one of my weaker points.. I'm not too good at that hehe. Ah well.. I'm improving there tho, I'm not fading everything in and out anymore.
Well it does not have the feeling of a full song, because it is not a full song, lol.
Yeah, starting with eJay at age five lol, and still going strong.
Have a good one, and thanks for the review mate!

Swerve.

[Rave Heaven <RMX>]

YES! Oooeh way better=)

This is so much better then that other song i reviewd=D
This one is more outputting what ur skillz are:D
The melody is nicely done, nice leads though i think its nexus..
But hey, I think i mentioned it in that other review too, ur mixng isnt one of the best.. u gotta work on it man!

So here are some tips and comments of this song:D :
-Those reeverbed kicks and crahses are overpowering the whole song, which is quite distorting, this gives me again this bad mixed feeling..
- There seems to be alot going on in this breakout.. Try making it sound as full as possible, but with the least of vstis and stuff, so try making a maximum sound with minimal tools.. That probably will also fix ur mixing problem a little bit:D
-That intro is really nice:D i am being picky now but i think those choirs need a longer release and a short attack, so it gets a little bit ambient:D
-The transitions are really good, though i also think you could lower the colume of the wooshes too.. so it doesnt overpower;D
- Try some slicing with vox and crashes for a better outcome of the transition:D
- Try keeping those hihats at the regular scale, then u can play with closed hihats and other percussion to fill the beat up:D
- Try making ur leads less nexus-ish, try putting on some highband in an paramatic equalizer:D

That's about it:D
Maybe we could collab sometime, i could learn you soe stuff:D

Wanna check my demo too? Would be awesome if u'd leave a review:D

add me on msn if u liek too : [e-mail]

Champius responds:

hey thanks for reviewing!, i haven't really noticed much of the stuff your saying, i mean the mixing is a given, but i would really like to perhaps collab, this wioll let me learn on what your talking about first hand....

ok man thanks for taking that much time to review! its really appreciated : ]

[One More Night <RMX>]

Nice!

Nice song man! Very long.... I've got some tips for u here:D

- Nice intro., very epic pads, nice bells:D
- The vocals sound pretty odd, but in this song everything does:S as if u've exported this at a really low bitrate:S
- the leads are very nice:D Though EVERYTHING in this song sounds pushed away by; the kicks, bass and lead, its quite odd:S I dont know how this could happen, but it ruins the whole feeling:(

I haven't got much to say about it cuz i dont hear everything as it should be i guess.. Quite bummer :(

Nice song, could use some better mxing or a higher bitrate..

4/5
8/10

G'day m8! Ill review some of ur other stuff maybe:D

Denn-C

Champius responds:

hey man thanks for reviewing! umm I think I see what your saying but I'm not really sure what you mean by odd???? and when you say EVERYTHING is pushed away by the kicks, bass and lead do you mean the vocals??
I'm just slightly confused on those two points perhaps pm me in greater detail

and yes i do need to work on my mixing and mastering : (

Thanks a ton for reviewing and taking yout time man! : ]

[{Dj-L} Evolution of Dance]

Damn ur making a lot of progress:)

First of all, ur getting alot better with every song ur making man:D
This sounds really cool, the melody is really cool:)
BUT, there are sooo much things u can work on:
- The kick, let it overpower the bassline in the beginning, ur turning things around there, the bass is nice, but u should let the kick overpower that bass man:)
-U seem to have some problems with mixing, for example, take the claps. The leads are overpowering everything, which makes all the rest sound pushed away :( The applauses can be heard good thoug:D
- try making that lead a little bit fatter, the way it sounds now is only high notes, if u made this lead urself here's a tip, try layering it with one high octaved synth, one mid octaved synth, and one low octaved synth:D
- Also try making the bass bassy in the break :) Like put it down 2 octaves or 1:D

Don't get me wrong man, this is really cool:D

5/5
7/10

G'day m8!

Meonly70 responds:

Hey thanks. I barley noticed the low volume on the clap and crowd during the lead. For the beginning, I'm not quite sure, I have big bass headphones and I feel it pretty well, I can barley hear anything in the beginning other than the kick, lol.

I also tried making the lead more lower pitched and fatter but it just doesn't go with it and makes it sound sorta evil-ish. I was aiming for a happy song, thats why :).

And the bass during the piano break, i didn't want it too loud, just to be like a fill, but I shoulda thought of making it louder with the synths...

Thanks for your review man, I'll go change all that and see what the outcome is :)

[Come Closer - (Hania)]

Wauwie

I think thise brings up alot of memories for me..
This song is very well written, i love ur voice, and the lyrics are just breathtaking.. it brings up memories of fun times i sometimes miss:P
the piano is by far the greatest melody i ever heard on newgrounds here, i could also just never listen to piano melodies lol:P
The intro is really epic, it gives me the sad but warm feeling.
also, the way you are singing this song is really like you know what ur singing about, ur kinda dragging me in the song:)
I haven't got much to say about this..
All i can say is that it has emotional worth for me, its very well sung, and u really dragged me in here..

:)..
*tears tears* :P
No just kidding;)

Have a pleasurous day madame:)

5/5
definantly a 10 here;)

[Let's Dance [Collab - Hel]

I knooow that lead!

Very nice:D Lol i didnt know the original was by you too:P
This one is so much better!
I like it alot, though i think there are some things u could work on:)
- Take that kick.. The kick is really cutted off, i'd rather put that cutoff away and make high band it:D Dont forget the bass though:P What you also could try is to put one cutoff kick, then put a non cutoff kick on top, that'd give it some more bass too:)
- The end was a bit abrupt in my opinion, try ending it with a monotone bass and beat:D
- The lead was nice, though it doesnt sound that original
- The woosh at the beginning is waay to loud, u should try building alot of stuff up till one climax and then add in the lead:) instead of just one w-noise..
-I liked the ambient feel over it alot:D gave me a relaxing feeling:)

Very very nice dude! Though u could improve;)

5/5
9/10

G'day m8s!

syphonmax responds:

Well he didn't but ah well :P

[{dj-N} Buddy]

Raise ur head man! Don't feel bad!

First of all, awesome track, nice pianos and stuff=)
But, this isnt the reason i am reviewing this. I think he may be right sometimes, to be honest, and you may have never noticed my and my music, but I always was up to date with ur music, for example orchestral angels 2, that song.. I remember me bouncing on it day after day. Why should it be a shame that you change genre? Dude, the songs u are making now are still so fucking awesome! Take this as an example man..
What i always thought when i started making music with fl studio was, i wanna be like nate and b0unc3 man! I simply downloaded ALL ur songs, listened them a thousand times, learning from it to make me what i am now, ur music is what always made me realise i sucked, so i tried improving and improving, just with the thought, if Nate would ever see me making kick ass songs like his:D So i kept on trying and trying.. and look where i am now.. (Though i got hacked on my old account called DjDennC).. i got waaaay better in music man, and i owe it to the (in my opinion) best artists on newgrounds : You and B0unc3..
Why believe that guy saying ur songs are bad now? U're so close to ur breakthrough man! Do NOT give up EVER! I couldn't miss u for the world.
I'm very sorry to hear that you are losing alot of fans; but believe me, i'll always be ur fan man:-) though i would like to hear some of ur old style again, i think it would sound awesome with the things u've learned now:D
Don't feel bad, don't run for people like this, they say they're ur fan, wich is big BS, they just liked ur old style. True fans are always supporting u whenever they can, i hope this review makes you realise that there are still 100000 people over there still loving what you do. And don't count me out, those dance, house and all the other songs are so friggin' awesome!
I hope this cheered you up a little bit man;-) Im feeling sorry about your pet by the way, i couldn't live without my dog man.. So i understand what you are feeling;)

Keep up man, ull get through this!

Voted 5 btw=P

I still <3 ur style and stuff!!:P

Denn-C ;-) That's one heck of a review there.
