"I finally did it"

submission: Dreamerz: Fading Into Time

date: October 6, 2006

I finally got around to reviewing you. :)

Anyways, it was a simplistic piece. It was quite cool. Could've used a little more as it got closer towards the end. I'm not a real big fan of Ambient music, but this is pretty good.

"A generic title to a review"

submission: Its all HERE! ( ?‰)

date: October 6, 2006

Normally I don't listen to songs as soon as they're entered into the portal, but I saw the symbol you used in the name, and I was wondering how you did that. If you want to tell how, just respond to this review.

ANYWAYS! On to the music. It was fairly plain, nothing to new or great. Just could use some more tracks. You should've made it longer too. Fairly interesting piece, but nothing to get excited about. Continue working on the music.

"YAY!"

submission: The Core - 2:46 - FIX

date: October 4, 2006

Great piece. Only thing I would say is that you should work on the percussion a little bit because it was slightly disorientating. Overall a great piece, but could some work in areas. You've made a lot of improvement from your last song to this one. Keep working on the music! You're doing great!

Also, only 3/5? I guess I'm gonna have to change that.

~ DSM

P.S. - I told you I'd get around to reviewing someday.

"Tehcno Rock"

submission: Apocalypse On The Horizon 2

date: October 1, 2006

I see where you get the Techno, but I feel this to be more of a Rock piece, and it makes a great one. I liked the piece overall, but the Guitar was a little too distorted, and some of the song was a little buzzy. You should've increased the bitrate just a little bit to give it a better quality. Great piece.

I'm in a great mood today, so I'll 5 this. :D

"Not Heavy Metal"

submission: Fade to Black Modernized

date: September 30, 2006

The song isn't dark and, blatantly, isn't heavy enough to be Heavy Metal. For it to be Heavy Metal, it would need a much more riffy guitar, some drums, which it seems like you have none, and maybe a louder bass. You need to add more support to the song. Nicely done, but needs more.

"Lacks Structure"

submission: Stuck in a Groove

date: September 28, 2006

You really got something going here. One BIG problem though: the beginning sounds pretty bad. Once you get to a full build, it sounds great. But at the beginning, it sounds empty and bland. Deserves a 4/5, but I'll 5 it just to be nice. ;)

"Repetitious"

submission: Mutation-1st Stage

date: September 27, 2006

Two things to improve on:

1) Opening build was too slow. Seemed like forever before the drums were finally brought in.

2) Very repatitious. I found this quite annoying. Mix it up a bit more.

Two things I liked:

1) The synth. It was quite a nice DNB synth, but it was very repatitious and could've used more support behind it.

2) The drums. I don't know what kind of kit you are using, but it is awesome.

What I would suggest:

Make another song like this, but keep what I said above in mind. I'm no pro, but it's an idea.

"More Techno than Trance"

submission: Trance loop?

date: September 27, 2006

Though the piece is pretty good, it's not really a Trance piece. It's more of a Techno piece. Anyways, on to what you can improve.

Bring the main part out more, or whatever part is changing the most. It would sound a little bit better that way.

Though you claim this to be a loop, it doesn't loop very well. You should've worked on loopability a little more.

Good piece overall, and I'm giving it a 4/5.

"Awe son! This song is TIGHT!"

submission: {Mercury}

date: September 26, 2006

Twas very good. I would suggest that you fill it up more in some spots. There were a few other spots that were somewhat unclear, and could've used a little bit of mastering. Though it has it flaws, I still love it.

"Generic DNB"

submission: NightMayr

date: September 26, 2006

I haven't seen much of this kind of DNB in a while, and I'm glad to see this piece up here. Nothing that you really need to improve on. Maybe do a little more mixing up with the main synth. Overall a great song.
