[The Aurora Borealis]

sounds more video game like

i think the reason the person below me said that its not trance is because there isnt steady bass, and it is slower. So maybe you could call it a general techno. I like the arp synth that comes in, and the beat is really nice, its just not trance ;)

pretty good. i would add a reverb effect to when it cuts off instead of an arupt ending, personally.

Ill keep your suggestion in mind.

[[T] Awesome Guitar Tune]

good start

its a good start. the solo is really cool. the intro is fine and all and the guitar sounds pretty good. however, the solo guitar never comes in to blend with the song and be the focus of song. it sounds like its quiet and distant from the rest of the music.

the melody is cool, but i dont think it sounds that good with the song. i think it needs a lot of work to blend well and sound awesome. also, i didnt like that crackling through the whole song :/ and there was also no percussion, so it seemed plain ;)

its a good start. 8/10 for the good melody

tomashcu responds:

yeah I FUCKING HATE THE CRACKLE!! it only happens when i do it on a specific computer but i havn't got i net on my other comp so i have to do it on the shit comp

DAMN IT but oh well man

[<DjR> Elysium (Rawmin Remix)]

review for you

the intro was pretty good, but got boring fast. the repeat of that piano-like instrument, with no more powerfull synth fading in made it boring. Then when the melody came in, the synth didnt have such a good delay imo. It also didnt sound the best, and it didnt blend with the song very well.

The next part with 'ice' kinda instrument also didnt blend well, and the transitions were very edgy. so the melody part not being the best really weighed down the whole song. It needed better EQ and effects, and just better sound. the ending wasnt too bad. i dont think that the ending "elysium" was needed either. ;)

its okay

Rawmin responds:

Hmm... Talk about your constructive critism. All right, well thanks for the review

[Nightbox]

actually pretty nice

nice transitions and melody! i like the use of instruments and changing them up through the song. this song sounds like trance though. id say that maybe a little more ambience to it, maybe later in the song or something to change it up a little.

though, that one transition to the piano in the end i didnt really like :/ but the begining transition was really awesome. so, yeah :P its cool

SplatterClock responds:

Thanks for the review :)
I think I might experiment with ambiance on this and see how it turns out. I haven't done much ambient work but I'm not a complete failure at it.

You're right the end transition wasn't pulled off so well, I guess I got just a bit angry at how long this was taking :P

[Outspoken]

id say...

its either funk or miscellaneous in my opinion. ;P

its different. at first i thought it was really random, but it actually had some ambience melody type of thing to it. though it sounds like it might be loops. :/ i dont think the "ghostly" type instrument blended the best. maybe if it blended better the track would sound better ;) i think it needs some work, but its not too bad.

themeatiscoming responds:

Thanks for the comment. Yea now that I'm listening to it again I think does sound a little like funk. I'm trying a little bit of my different style so I haven't yet perfected it and as for the loop sound its just the beats. Makes it easier for to loop the beat rather than just keep plucking it along. Once again keep listening and hopefully it will become better thanks again.

[[T] Techno Dance Mix]

cool

definately not my style... but definately a good track! great for flashes and whatever. has a happy tune to it which people like. it sounds like a retro video game kinda track with bass to me. and would prolly go well with a flash like that.

good job.

tomashcu responds:

THAT WAS A GOOD REVIEW I MUST SAY

AND THANKS alertG

[.X. Welcome To The Matrix]

i like this one

what does it is all of the fading and modulation of the synths, in the intro mostly. Though i would have liked a little better ending. the middle was pretty good, but i think it could have became a little better after a little. but instead it went to the piano to end.

but i like this a lot better than your 'fly away'. its pretty good.

XenoxX responds:

Sorry lol I love the Piano!!! Thanks for the review!

[Reliving demo]

interesting stuff

its different, but definately worthy of a better score than 2.5. The intro was funky and the song all together is different, but it is a different style. I like the uniqueness of it. its not really me, but i dont think its all that bad. i think it gets pretty good later. good job on making it unique

Darren-M responds:

thank you! i appreciate the acknowledgment

[<DjR> Heading Home]

hmmmm

i think that the begining could have flowed a little better. and i thought that the chorus could have had better and prolly higher synths when it came in from the intro. cause otherwise theres not too much difference. cause it just doesnt seem as 'epic' or it doesnt stand out as much to me. but keep working on it

Rawmin responds:

Hmm thanks for the consstructive critism and and the 8!
