[R.E.M. Cycle]

Awesome

Very chill, very chill.
But, yeah I liked this a lot. The pizzicato violin sounds were really nice as well as the other instruments used in this jam. The drums gave in a hip hop feel but the music was way ambient so dunno what I would call this either but all in all its great.

Thank you for your review, you were my first! :D

[7X - DnB]

Nice

Great shot at DnB, the drums were a little repetitive in the account that there wasn't much variation but maybe that was just me, but the piano and synth lines were right on key bro. I liked it alot. Keep up the good work. btw how many bpm's was this song?

EbonHawk7X responds:

ya, i only used like, 3 drum patterns. this song was made at 170 bpm. glad u liked it, good luck and have fun at what'cha do =D

[Rave Heaven - (Viz Mix)]

ugh

I hated that voice, but this song was just way too good to give anything lower than a 10...mad props bro! keep up the excellent work!

[-Hypnotize!]

ok so here's what I got to say about it

I'll start with what I like:
Love the crowd FX in the beginning. Most people use a crowd FX and either make it too long, too short, or too loud but you brought it in and out just right. Also loved the synth's and drums. Everything sounded great and had a real nice quality to it so great job with the mastering and layering. Oh and the "hypnotize" vocal was pimp.

My biggest complaint with this song is that it is very repetitive. The drums virtually the same through the whole song and the melody, while very catchy, is very similar throughout the song as well.

While the song is pretty repetitive, it isn't to the point where it is unbearable and it certainly was not boring. The catchy-ness and quality of the production definitely makes up for it so good job.

9/10
5/5

Dj-Rippa responds:

Thanks!
glad you thought the crowd was "just right."
my mastering skills are not that great so Im very happy you thought it was well done.
I liked the hypnotize vocal aswell :D!

On the other hand... the drums are the same through the whole song like you said... Im not very creative when it comes to drums...
I usually put them in as more of a metronome to keep the beat.

Hearing the word quality associated with my work makes me feel like I accomplished something good... So thank you very much for the review. it was very helpful!

[Karco - Abyss]

Nice, the title sets this up with a great feel

I love the piano, its quite beautiful, yet dreary, and accented perfectly by those dark, bellowing, echos. It literally sounds like getting sucked into an abyss. And when the filtered drums came in, oh god...that was tight. Might as well mention the choir woman sounds were fantastic and really put this song up on another level.

I thought you hated using samples straight from Nexus and VECS thought? I have no complaints with it though...please make more like this.

And is that whales I hear in the background sometime after 3 minutes or so?

Karco responds:

Not much to respond to here... though you should know that I don't like using samples RAW. I usually tweak/layer/FX/etc. my sounds beyond recognition. :D

And those could be whales. :) Really it was just some Nexus FX, that I filtered (along with some other minor FX).

Thanks for the review, glad you liked it!

[Deranged Lullaby (ambient]

Damn

Very nice. You definitely pulled of a really spooky feel with this song. This would totally fit a SH type game. Im getting kinda freaked out just listening to this.

[Anal Pewbs]

Twas a ok I guess.

Really repetitive though. I mean it sounds cool and all but mix it up a bit.

[Breathe Me-SmX VIP]

I love the original!

Nice job with this. I would really like to hear what it sounds like with the vocals.

[Super Mario Overworld Polka]

ugh...kinda goofy

but I found myself liking this...it wasn't so much polka in may consideration as it was as a nice attempt to remix the original. I say do more synth style...nice job with the song though I didn't like all of the synths but I did enjoy the song and good job with the tempo changes.

[RED7 - GRID Access]

Excellent choice of synths

Nice job, I don't know if you made the synths or chose them from a premade list but watev the composition was still excellent. A little repetitive with the drums, but absolutely loved both the breakdown/DnBish parts. Also the change at 1:03 was kinda sudden, but overall this song was pretty damn good! keep it up.
I'll give it a...
5/5
9/10

R7Exp responds:

Thanks for the quick reply to my newest project. I spent a long time making my own custom settings for these synths and now that I listen to it, they sound nothing like the presets that I origionally started with. I try to customize as much as I can in my music because anyone can buy EJay and make a song but getting into the nitty gritty is what makes it so unique. I understand what your saying about the drums. I think I fell in love with them though and thats why you hear so much of the regular techno beat. I tried to get something else going but "Hey!" this is still being worked on so any feedback is positive feedback. I'll work on some better transitions before I publish the final product. "I'm thinking maybe a little bit of some mute sequences!" I'm still not sure though on which melodies I want to use in this song. I might get rid of a couple.
