[:XQ: Hip-Hop Beat]

Alrighty...

Lemme start with saying I loved the melodies. Fantastic violin melody and I loved the echo voices. A bit synthy, yet I like that. The beat was a bit simplistic for my tastes however. I would recommend not just looping the same pattern over and over again, give it a little variety. After that I would say just making this longer, build off of what you have here to make a full length song.
7/10
4/5

XeroQ responds:

Thanks for the feedback! As you can see I mostly make trance so this was a new experience for me. Took me awile to learn how to make a nice hip-hop beat. I guess im still stuck with repetative trance in my head :P

[Jungle Run]

Hmmm

Something about the marimba...
When I think of the jungle I think of marimba, but it seemed a bit disharmonic or detuned or perhaps it was just the progression of the notes that didn't sit well with me. Anyway, on a good note, the percussion was fantastically executed. Good job.
8/10
4/5

Step responds:

Yeah you're right, it does seem a little off now that you mentioned it. Glad you enjoyed all the percussion, and thanks for the review :).

[The 10½ Heroes -Remix 2-]

Good video gamey feel

And good job with the equalizing. However overall it was a bit random at times, and by that I mean the melody jumped around a bit and I believe it even changed keys at one point. Good job though, it just needed a bit more structure for my tastes.
7/10
4/5

Step responds:

Yeah, you're completely right about that. A sytrus synth of mine was set in the wrong pitch and played in A Major :\. Thanks for the review! :)

[Abyss - F-777]

Really nice

A really nice sounding song, but it doesn't stand out so no 10/10, sorry. Fantastic job though. Levels sound utterly perfect and fantastic composing, but like I said, it sounds like a lot of other dance songs. Great job though, you are very skilled at making badass club beats like this.
5/5

F-777 responds:

Thanks =). Ya thats ok i see what you are saying
but thanks so much for being honest and still
giving me a 9 =).

Really appreciate the review!!!

Thanks so much!

[Blackhole FX]

Everyone else should suck your dick

This shit is off the chain(saw) good...make a full epic version and blow my mind please and I swear to God I will bake you some cookies and send them to you.

[Teh litterbox has phailed]

Hail the almighty cat-bastards!

Call upon the mighty NEDM to smite the hoomans!

[.My Nutrition]

Cool!

I like it dude it reminds me of Sonic. Has a real retro Sega feel to it. I think it sounds fantastic. As far as whether it should be a loop or a song, I would say either a longer loop, or perhaps then just make it a song, cus it's pretty damn epic.

Manhart responds:

Alright thanks for the review and great score !
I will try and make it longer :)

[Killing ( DEMORP )]

Be careful...

Using Slayer can be interesting when used well. I think you are going in the right direction, however, I would suggest using a multiband compressor, a filter, and maybe some other effects over Slayer so that the guitar doesn't sound so bland. Also, some lead riffs would be nice. I'm currently working on a Slayer jam myself, it's no where near completion yet buy check it out if you would like.

Sawdust responds:

alright, i'll make some adjustments, thanks for the insight.

[Shattered Flakes {Psy-Sonic3}]

told you i was gonna do copy and paste it

I love this song as I said before and it is a really powerful song, and your mix of it is fantastic, but I always felt like it was about to build up to something epically sexy, but it never got to that point i wanted it too, like I love the arp that comes in at 127ish or so but I really expected it to explode after that and it didnt not that that is bad at all just my sense of style

but definitely a monumental improvement over an already good song

Psy-nigma responds:

originally I wanted this to be a breakbeat trance song. the first 6 months of working on it I was trying to do some really fancy techniques like stutter stopgo and almost like turntabling the track. Didn't come out to good but after a while I realized this song just needs to chill out.

Thanks for the review I am Glad you thought this song was a Monumental Improvement!

[Phaychu {Psy-nigma}]

ooooh

I like...something quite different from you again its a quiet but powerful piece...def great background music like you said. Very enigmatic. Another very differently feeling song, I loved the off color notes that would play every now and then and how the drum track would go offbeat shortly, but it never sounded random. Very interesting work again!

Psy-nigma responds:

Hey thanks! I am glad you liked the song and its subtle complexities. As usual I do have my random moments (secretly they really are not that random they do have reasoning and follow patterns that are more complex). I plan to come out with more music like this, this year since I enjoy making ambient chill stuff. More than I enjoy making dance and drum n bass (actually I find dance to be boring).

See ya around!
