[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

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 :)

[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

G'day m8s!

syphonmax responds:

[Kazmo - Headlock [RMX]]

Theres yah ten bro!

:D Thats all there is too it. I let the numbers do the talking. :P
No jk, the bass was ..
I dunno man
it kinda was
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W000h00000
Lalalalalalala.

The vox are a little bit to loud in my opinion =3 but there are no complaints!
The last part without the vox starting at 3:20 is by far the best part in the song in my opinion:D

Thanks for making this awesome refreshing song:D Im totally happy now=D Those tutududududuududu choirs at the start are awwwwesome too:D

5'd

And hey, look at the rating! 10 WOW! xD

Have a good day lad
Denn-C

Kazmo responds:

Lalalalalalala. lol

I'm not sure if they're too loud, they're dominant because they carry the melody. Plus, they tend to add most of the colour to the song, so I wanted them to be strong. While I was mixing though, I didn't think they were too loud :P

3:20 was definitely experimental, but I really like how it turned out.

Thanks for the review man, and the 10! :P

[SPNR - Long Way Down]

Yeeehaaa!

Wooohoo !
Damn i love this:P I see u got a new account and stuff:P
I like that kick so much man:$ Its very subby and bassy.. :P I've got alot of problems with bassy kicks:P i always overpower them;P
Very nice bass there bro:P I only think the higher note in the bassline is a bit offbeat ? Or am i wrong here? :P Damn man u improved alot since ur dance songs!
The intro is very very very very good, it aint repetetive which is very awesome, the playing with the kick is gr8:P
Then 1.55.. Woah! Sure is the best part in the song here:P Lots of power all at once, fascinating man:D
There are no complaints bout this here, all i can say is that it is very very good, and very very well mastered and mixed:D

G'day m8!

Denn-C
Review my demo too:$? (A)

5/5 : 4.26 / 5.00 (+ 0.061)
10/10

AlexCo responds:

Cheers! I tend to Mix my Kicks at -6dB and add a Sub under them around -10 to -18dB.

All the notes in the Bassline are Offbeat, but They're all sidechained the same so It could just be you. :X

Thanks for the Nice Comments and stuff, I'ma go review your demo now. :D

[DXM - Eros Hipnózis]

tijnn responds:

Thanks for the kind review man, i think you should just focus on music for a few months and really go in-depth and an amateur could make this since...

I'm not really a pro either. x]

Thanks for liking it though.

["Eternal Equinox" (WIP)]

The bass is tooo loud:P

Yoo!
First off. This sounds very good, nice intro n stuffz.
Percussion is oke:)

Now;
- I think u could work some on the the bass.. The bass is too sawwy some times, not bad but could be better:D
-when i come in the break i hear that square saw bass.. Its good, but Waaaaaaaay to loud. Put it abo2 db lower on volume or something:P
-The kick sounds as if theres cutoff on it:P It makes it nice and bassy, but try putting of the cutoff next time :)
-The pianoz are Awesome!
-The synths are good:P Try puttin it more at front of everything:)

Thats about it man!

Rukkus responds:

Thanks for the great review dude. Very helpful! I'll be sure to incorporate your ideas into my final release.

[DjTyph - Equalization (NG)]

8 hours is short:O

I like it BRO!
he melody is really good man! i need to learn to make stuff like that too:P
The piano is rockin. after 52 secs theres a silent part that gives me the feeling the song is done.. fil it up man!
The rest is really good man!
The melo is good:D
Andeh.. try to do some more effort on the mixing next time cuz the lead synth is really pushed away by all the other things in the song:P

5/5
8/10

G'day m8!

Denn-C

Prodigal responds:

Thanks.
The melody is something in a fashion as Envy would portray it.
The piano is made with my favourite VsT for pianos, Ravity(S)... And the empty space will get filled up I guess.
I did a crappy job on the mixing, hell, I didn't even master this thing ffs.

Thanks for the 5 and 8!

[Kazmo - Sinking In]

Awesome! Im loving ur new style man!
Though my knowledge about the trance genre is minimal, i will still try to review:P
Well
I totally loved the intro man, the filtering with the drums, and that melody, the bass. All very very cool:D The snare was cool this time:-)
Then the transition to the main chorus begins, u filter in the melody, gives it a very nice feel bout it:)
now the pianos are coming in:D AWESOME
The bassy thing at the background keeps me happy; cuz i totally love bass dawg:D
nows the main chorus:D AWESOMENESS!!! I totally love this man! the wooshes and changing on cutoff on the synths and stuf..

I am very happy now:D It is refreshing and very fucking awesome:D
