On the contrary.

I liked the intro. I may be missing some high frequencies, but it does introduce the song well. As an intro should.

Did you do this in FL Studio? If so, could I maybe have a gander at the .flp file? Purely curiosity, I wouldn't dream of stealing anything from anyone, I just feel like I could learn alot about mastering from it.

The leads were about what you would expect from a trance song, but what really shines are the drums that cue in at :58 They're so punchy, I love it lol.

The high cut segment at 1:26 was a very nice contrast to the deep bass of the previous section.

It's not at all intricate, but it is VERY well mixed. Every part of the song weaves into the next and every instrument compliments the other.

Great job :)

AikaMusic responds:

Yeah maybe :P.

Jumpy.

Hey, thanks for the kind words on my songs :D.

I really like the intro synth. Very airy and gives a good mood for the build-up.

I think the segment at :27 may be my favorite part. I like the lead, and it's well mixed. A complaint for the rest of your song is that most of your lead synths could use some beefing up. They're overpowered by the bass. (Minus the synth at 1:26 That ones spot on.)

I also agreecompletely with the other two guys. The key change at 2:15 was completely unnecessary. Key changes are for much longer songs that need some fresh air after 8 minutes of monotony lol :P

Other than that, nice tune. It's nothing ground-breaking, but I don't think you were going for something revolutionary. I gave it an 8 because 10 in my book means PERFECT. In reality I would have given an 8.75 ish but, that's not an option :/

Keep it up! I wanna hear more :)

DjKanis responds:

Thanks a lot for the review. I thought the 8bit style lead added a nice effect to the rest of this song. However, I do disagree with you about the key change. Yes, it was a rather rough transition, but I believe a key change always adds a nice effect to make a song bigger and more exciting. Thanks a lot for the review!

Oooh.

I like the portamento lead :D It's yummy.

Also, that bassis filthy. In a good way.

Pissomatik responds:

Ty for the review. Glad you liked it. I might have to expand on this and take more time than I did just farting around in FL studio to make the loop. Attempting to get a good idea for making dubstep/filth in ^. It's not as friendly as I had hoped but I might be overlooking a very simple tool. Not sure if you caught the scent of Nirvarna in it but I figure Grunge makes a fairly good template for filth.

Hmm?

I don't understand why this is voted so low. Yeah it's short, but I don't see anything particularly wrong with it. Yeah there's some dissonance, but it gives it character.

Also that is an epic trance lead.

All my base are yours.

Crashride responds:

hah appriciate it, thanks

Strange.

Well, First i'd like to point out that the bass is a tad annoying :/ I'd turn it down and shorten it's release to make it less .. reverby. If that makes sense lol.

You do have some cool sounds in this song, however it doesn't really take a direction. You definately need to add more layers, change up the chord progression once in a while, and most importantly, make it longer. It doesn't have enough time to really do anything other than repeat itself.

It's a decent start, but I'd say it has a long ways to go.

ArHarr responds:

Definitely. Thanks alot for the ideas. I will work on softening the Treble in the bass sounds.

Also, yea, I will mix up the synth throughout. And length is a problem only because this is a WIP. When I'm done it'l be longer.

THANKS!

Love.

Epic on so many levels.

Are those drums programmed? or recorded.

If programmed, I'd LOVE to know what soundpack/soundfont you're using :D

Burn7 responds:

They are indeed programmed. I use XLN Audio's Addictive Drums. It's the best one I've seen so far.

Whoa snap.

I like this alot, it pregresses PERFECTLY, really picks up towards the end, and then fades slowly into an ominous nothingness.

I agree with the guy below me, the intro was dragged on a bit, but honestly, what trance song isn't? :P Plus you threw in enough variation to make it worth hearing.

All your transistions were flawless. there weren't really times when things were just BAM! there. It all slowly fades in until you notice, "Hey theres strings over here!" and "Oh look, a shaker in the right headphone!"

It all came together seamlessly, well done.

Nfinity responds:

Thanks! I really appreciate the positive feedback. At first I was just a little disappointed that the song was receiving 0's and 1's, but yours and sjs00's review made it completely worth it! I also appreciate the critical input, along with your observations. It's amazing what you guys notice.

Most of all, thanks for listening to the song in its entirety. With everyone's attention span ranging from 5-10 seconds anymore (I'm merely stating that as a universal fact, not a bash to Newgrounds), it's refreshing when people display any form of patience.

Thoroughly disturbing.

+1 for the creep out factor

Laqur responds:

yay points.

Let's see..

I think the intro needs an ambient pad, or maybe strings in the background, have it crescendo into the part at 0:47?

1:07 I'd add some drums into it. something to give it structure, as is, it just seems kinda random.

Well it kinda trails on like that, but I do like the cello/bass thing you added. at 2:28, although it still feels like the song needs structure. There's no real buildup or loss of energy.

However I could see this as being really good background music for a flash vid, like Sald Fingers lol.

would you mind checking out my song? "Eat Fish v2" on my audio page. Thanks :D

Insaneloneliness responds:

Thanks dude this stuff is really useful :D

I make music and stuff.
