[Breeze - dj.s]

Nice summer atmosphere

I wished it was still warm outside so I could properly enjoy this song. It creates a very nice summer atmosphere and I really would like to listen to this song while being outside and lying on the grass.

But instead it's very cold and it's snowing, so the songs nice atmosphere is kinda lost right now.

Anyway, the song still is nice, I like the melodies and the beat. :)

[AF - Final Pulse]

Review Request Club

The slow intro is very nice, even though it takes over 1 minute for the song to "really" start, but the long intro sets the right mood for the song in my opinion.

However, after the nice transition to the main part of the song I was a bit disappointed. The song doesn't seem to develope any further from there. I know, you have some different parts in there and even change around the beat, but somehow it just sounds as if the song doesn't develop. Maybe it's because we can hear the melodies from the intro for so long (that humming sound).

Also, the outro is a bit too abrupt. Just as if you meant to add something more to the song but lost interest in it.

Now, please don't let this review discourage you, I'm not trying to put you down. The song sounds nice, but I think it could sound better with a few extra touches here and there.

Yeah im pretty bad with the little things. Developement too is a big probleme. im hopeing these problemes will resolve themselves with experience. thanks for the feedback!

[(-Corrosive-) *not finished*]

Good start

The drums in the intro sound pretty strange, as if I was listening to them standing outside a large hall while the drums are played inside the hall. Maybe take away some of the reverb there.

After the intro the kick gets a lot better and I like the melodies you created here. They sound very catchy and I think you could use those as some kind of leitmotif in the finished song.

Later on, at around 1:18 the song gets very messy with all the stuff going on there at once. Maybe if the song developed longer until it becomes this "messy" it would sound better, but right now it just happens too quickly.

[Hardstyle Rocker {Dj-Abbic}]

Nice

Well, I don't know the original, but the remix sure sounds interesting. The intro is pretty cool. It starts right away with that amazingly hard kick as if it was trying to say: "Hey, this song is going to be HARDSTYLE!" heh.

I like how you slowly introduce the melodies. They fade in over the hard kick, which sounds very interesting.

But during the song the kick sometimes overpowers the melodies, which doesn't sound that good, as the kick gets a bit annoying towards the end (yeah, this is propably the reason why I'm not that much into techno -.-).

But anyway, the song is still pretty nice. :)

Thanks for the input :) Tis' appreciated.

[Fuck My Life]

Very melancholic

A very nice and quite sad song. I like the slow intro, it already sets the right mood for the song.

The piano is one of my favorite instruments as you can create such amazing songs with it and you don't need any instrumetns along with it.

I also like the melodies in this song. They sound very melancholic, but it also seems as if there's still some hope left. Sometimes I can literally see the light at the end of the tunnel. ^^

Anyway, the obvious edit at the end kind of destroys the nice outro. Sure, overproducing isn't fun, but it's also not fun if the edit is so noticeable. :P
But other than that it's a very great song!

[Madness_Ultimacy [Box-Killa]]

Very good loop

This is a very good loop. The backing track sounds very stealthy and creates a pretty good atmosphere. The sounds in the foreground add to the stealthy atmosphere and they also sound very good as well.
Especially that "screaming" sound.

Also, the looping is done in a very good way, nice work!

[NES 8-bit BATMAN]

Nice, but could be better

Batman is cool, this song still needs to be a bit to be as cool as Batman. Parts of it sound a bit wrong. For example you shouldn't let the "danananana" part play while at the same time we hear the "BATMAAAN" part (I hope you get what I'm trying to say, lol). This sounds dissonant and if I remember correctly (and I'm pretty sure I am as I can play the Batman theme on my guitar :P ) it's also different in the original theme.

But I really like the 8-bitness of this track, so this song still sounds cool, yet not as cool as Batman himself. ;)

Thanks For the feedback

[Merry Christmas (Chilvan Mix)]

Good song

This is a very nice song. The melodies are very catchy and they create indeed a very good christmas atmosphere. Also, I think I know the song you remixed, but I just can't put my finger which song you remixed exayctly, heh.

The bells are a tad bit too quiet sometimes, especially when the main melody is playing (for example at arount 1:40, the bells can't hardly be heard).

But other than that the mastering is done very good!

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Haha, thnx! Yea, I learned an array of mastering techniques and applied them to this song. I'm glad you liked it. The name of the song I remixed is "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." It's VERY popular here in the states, like, it's impossible to find someone here who doesn't know it=P. Well, I guess holiday tunes are different in different parts of the world=).
Thanks again!

[Jizzy Chiiiit]

Crazy stuff

I have to say, I never listened to anything like that before, and I have listened to a lot of crazy things. ^^

It takes some time to get used to all the noise going on and at first it was really hard for me to recognize this as a song.
But I sat through the whole song and it totally worth it. It grew on me the longer I listened to it and I think it's amazing what you've done here.

I really like the stomping beats in this piece and I think i even could make out some melodies.

Only that glitchy part at 0:53 seems to be a bit misplaced there and I don't like it too much.

[a solo tolittle wing]

Good solo

This is a very good solo. Especially the first part is very soulful. But the last part (the more faster part) doesn't fit that good here, I think.

You play a lot of notes that just don't sound so good to me. Less is more here, in my opinion. ;)
