[The Cock Trance Chronicles]

great work

CD damnit.

[Metal Ode to Bacon]

bacon

hi kevin. pretty cooll.

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

thanks kevin!

[-F- Liquid Trace]

pretty good

but i think it gets a little repetitive after a bit. also the synth stands out a little too much starting at :53. Maybe EQ or lower volume? idk maybe just my preference.

otherwise not bad. could be better though. i think after around 1:38, it does change, but that melody going doesnt, which makes it repetitive from there on out until it calms down.

not bad though so far.

[SJ - [Octane] (wip)]

awesome

i disagree with Cmon5. Yes what he said needs some work, but you can hear it.

I would up the EQ on the bass end of both the kick and bass, and i think it will sound better just with that. also maybe tone the hats down a TINY bit at 1:38 or somehting and around 2:00. but still good. finally, i would change it up a little past 2:30. it gets kinda repetative at that point or around there.

but other than that, the drum work and melody sounds really good!!!! progressively getting better from your earlier works! really great dnb. congrats.

SteakJohnson responds:

I agree and thank you, i willl add bass to everything

[Locked In A Dark Room]

dig it

very interesting. pretty different from almost anything ive heard before. sounds good though so theres no reason for a bad rating!

kinda sounds like a psychedellic game over for zelda XD good job

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

Thank you

I love me some Zelda.

[out of whatever.]

o_o

amazing melody for a full song. i want to hear the full thing so bad now!!! i just couldnt pass this up.

as long as the next part has some spots where the melody cuts, to give it a newer house feel. idk. its just good :) great start for such a small preview.

[Pat!M // Rave To The Deep]

ehhhh

intro was decent, it was kinda lengthy, but i was hoping it would deliver.

0:55 was basically a "facepalm". Became repetative. only way you could enjoy this is if you were not in a normal state. but hey, if thats what you want... haha.

What you should have done is take what you have at 1:45, use it for every note, and put it at 0:55, and make it more obvious.

Thats why its good to have description. If you want it like that cool, but if you want it catchy for people to just listen to, then i didnt like it at all...

[Slip(Z-tone remix)]

finally!

some REAL house! a lot of "house" on this portal is FoS. Thank god there is at least a few people that know what house is.

This isnt bad, but i thought it was kind of repetative, especially the melody. But it was still really good! Nice effects and everything! So props. Could be better though ;)

[Far From Our World 2.2]

its nice

for starters, i would put a pad with long notes in the intro to make it sound less plain. past 0:50 i feel like it is still an intro. it builds nicely before it, but then after it sounds like it should still build to something because it is "quiet", or "concealed".

Either after 0:50, or maybe 16 beats after something i would either build it to a more "open" melody for a chorus, maybe with another instrument with the main one.

Or maybe if you want it to stay more "ambient" i would have that part in the middle fade out a little and come back in. have variation to keep it interesting ;)

Also, if you notice, the intro is good in the beginning, but thats the ONLY time you hear the song like that. No outro, middle, anything uses that intro again. Maybe include that intro in the song somewhere. So thats another way to have more variation ;)

good luck. good work so far, not a bad start

Dig1talDam4g3 responds:

Thank you very very much, This is the kind of review I was looking for. A review that would help me get better. I was thinking of revisiting this song a little later after I get more experience, but I might do it sooner than expected and follow your suggestion :]

Thanks again for the great review, I appreciate it :]
