[Zdael All Rave! Edition]

heyhey long time no see

This song is nice. I think your drums are way better than the original and while the original has a 8bit feeling, this has a more "rave-feeling". Piano is a nice touch. Effects are nice, but I think the instruments are all a small bit out of tune resulting in a bit less-serious song. I think if you make the pads a bit less out of tune, it will sound more serious, but you should only do that if it wasn't on purpose xD

well, I give you a 5/5 and a 9/10.

MW-Audio (Mjattie) btw, a track similar to the professionality of "your answer" is coming xD

Airprogressive responds:

Thank you Mjattie, for your review and ratings

Yeah, seriousness was not important for me in this remix xD

I don't see the moment to listen to that new track your talking about!

[Dream Snooping]

lolol

Reason scratch loops xD So recognizable :D but hey, it's a nice song! Everything is a bit loud and now is your mclass mastering suite lowering the gain: not so nice, so put everything down a bit, the balance is good.

4/5, 8/10

SHADOWFOX2 responds:

For scratch loops being so recognizable, you should know that they sure weren't from Reason
You know if the entire track is a bit loud I think it could be solved by turning your volume down
...but that's just me
Not sure what you mean by "mclass mastering suite". [I don't use Reason]

Thanks for your remarks

[Kw- Vader's Chill]

some chords from c1 to c2?

It's nice, but I think you used too much snare in the drums and the bass drum needs boost because I can't hear it. Maybe slide some notes from the snare drum to the bass drum. Bass is nice. I'd add some chords in the middle section (from c1 to c2 or something) with maj/min7/9-or-whatever-you-want chords.

It's nice! Maybe make a full song of it... Nah leave it this way, I'm sure people will use it in their flash stuff.

5/5, 9/10

Thank you kindly! :)

[Free Entry]

YAY

something good between al the crap :D (except for my song off course :P)

no really, I like the drums and the housy synths and sampled stuff! This is just superb stuff, really clubby, or loungy. Bit relaxing too.

5/5, 10/10, download,

LennyCertan responds:

thanks men...
The piano part is Originated together with my buddy and a lot of beer this night.
cheers

[Hey Move On Now (Radio Edit)]

hmm :(

I really liked the intro. But I hoped for a female voice or a very good male voice... But not some autotuned male vocs... Sorry I really don't like those :( They don't sound very clean too... I like 2:12 though. It's sounds like the next song is coming (in a mix). But I like how the vocs are there. I like the drums and the synths are decent, though bass is lacking a bit. The melody isn't really thát interesting too... And maybe boost the tempo up a bit too (but I think that'll be hard with vocs)

4/5, 8/10, sorry that I don't like it too much...

MW-Audio (mjattie)

Airprogressive responds:

hmm... I respect all opinions, and I always respect your opinion. Some people like this vocals and other don't. There are different ways of making vocals and not evryone preffer the same way. I do like autotune vocals but not everyone does. Don't worry about that :)

[-[ Funky Loop ]-]

woah

Sounds soo fresh :D... You did a great job. But yea, sorohanro is awesome too :D. I love the bass and drums too. I can see this in a game menu.

5/5, 10/10

FlamingFirebolt responds:

Game menu? I was really hoping that dan paladin would use it that way... ^^ One can only wish.
Thanks for your review,

[Apotheosis [hamish]]

nice

I really like the drums and bass, but don't really like the strange middle part (1:45-2:13) Also a bit long endin. Did you forget to move the END locator? :P I'm guessing you're using reason :P

nevertheless, a nice song,

5/5,9/10 (+1,07)

MW-Audio

MadHamish responds:

haha yes i did. damn end locator! Yeah i agree. the middle wasnt quite as inpired as the rest of the track. thanks for the feedback

[[OS] Neverwhere Downs]

yea

I just immediately recognize the glitch kit and pad :D Woah 0:55 is nice! I think the bass and pads are a bit soft, compared to the drums. It's hard to find a melody/chord scheme in the guitar parts, the first time you listen. But the guitar sounds really awesome and wow, what am I blowed away of the superb outro! Wow, that's really pro. Guitar itself is nice, but better would be (off course) a real guitar player :D

You seem to improve a lot and get a bit in the 12 tonal music xD Nah not really, but you're being original and not everyone is fond of that, but you have my vote. I only would suggest (melodically) to make the guitar and drum parts a bit more recognizable.

5/5, 9/10,

MW-Audio (Mjattie)

ObsidianSnow responds:

I agree, it would be nice to have a real guitar player record this, I'm sure it would sound a lot better XD and yes, I was experimenting a bit with some abstract chord structures and progressions, so things sound kind of weird if you don't already have some idea of where it's going. (btw, the guitar patch was "hell spawn guitar" - I tweaked it a little, but it does have a lot more character than a lot of the other patches. I would have liked to reduce the "heaviness" of it a little though... I just had a hard time with that)

^^ Yes, I love the outro, too. I had a lot of fun with that.

hehe, this was a big experiment in a lot of different directions for me - for one, I was using a glitch kit for the first time. I thought it didn't turn out too badly... I'm just looking forward to next year, when I will finally have the equipment and the people around me to do live recordings of almost everything! Not only that, I can legitimately claim that it's school work, and get time specifically for that at school. It'll be the dawn of a new age for me, I think. =D Bmus FTW (yes, I auditioned for UC's Bmus, and was accepted)

Your suggestions are totally on the mark, too. Thanks for pointing those things out... I'll keep it in mind for the future for sure.

Thanks a ton for yet another review, MWA (I'll return the favour asap - you know how long my reviews are ;P )

Scream 4?? :D

Quite nice song. Melody isn't super and chords are a bit distord at times (esspecially the strings), but!! I really like the bass and the drums are quite nice, but could use some (more) delay and reverb or scream 4 tape distortion.

It sounds like you used quite a lot scream 4 devices, to create the main synth and bass and maybe some other instruments. (not sure though)

It's nice to hear you expermimenting with reason and trying something original instead of crappy techno :P

4/5, 8/10

MW-Audio (Mjattie)

Mich responds:

The funny part is that I reduced the delay and reverb a bit from the first version. ...And reduced the scream influence a bit too.

I wasn't awfully inspired for the melody, I even thinks it gets quite repitive after a while.

I'm glad you like my experimentations, but please, don't generalize all 4/4 kick on beat genres to techno, I'm sort of allergic to that.

Thanks for the review! :)

[CombatPlayer - Clouds]

woah!!!!!!

While listening, this is what I was thinking:

0:00-0:36 ah, not too bad intro
0:36-0:37 trance?
0:37-0:38 glitch?!
0:38-0:57 OMG GLITCH STYLE, THIS IS AWESOME OMG OMG!!! Really nice!
0:57-1:16 LOVE THE GUITAR
1:17-1:55 wonderful piano!
1:56-2:33 yea, I love the sidechained kick! Gives a strong feeling.
2:34-end nice ending!

Overall: I'd put it in ambient. I really love the ambient ambience. Flutes are also nice and just the overal production is just much better than what you've ever made before! You get the full package from me:

5/5, 10/10, download, favourite
