[Eurodancer{Mastered}{Remix}]

Nice remix!

Iwasent really enjoy that intro, beacuse its sounded abit wierd to me. Then u used really nice highquality drum n bass kicks,, and sort of the bell got out of tune some to. Then main Kick come in iwasent really same clear as the drum n bass sample kick was abit muddy. Could need some EQ or maybe turn voylme down the beat sample kick, Its not really fit to ur Main kick. Was nice idea on that intro play at 1.12 was more your own creativity, Then it come back to classic Dj mangoo Euro gate synth witch is ok but way to standard. Synth it self wasent that powerful either ithink its got abit messy for my taste, Hard kick and bass, with poor euro synth dosent match. Anyway end whistle was fine actully. / TN

757irish responds:

:) good to hear some criticism..i like it. you gotta work with me though i mean this is my first remix and i tried to make it my own creation but not take out the original beat you know? but i will work harder on my EQ. thnx for the review:)

[Serenity (WIP/demo)]

Really nice work!

Intro FX mybe was not best to it, But Really nice style on the track, Good Drums, good bassline. Mixing level is decent but not bad, Good Work on the sidechain, Nice chord. Iam not big fan of that Bell sort of plucked melody, The chord melody it feels sometimes it goes off tune not sure igot right about that but for me sounded some spot wierd. The new plucked melody is alot nicer, Other then that Song is very cool made, you got some skills and looking forward hear more of you /TN

Phoog responds:

Hey thanks for the review.

Yeah I got lazy in some places, like with the delay of the CymbalFX and the lead for the first melody.
The chord melody sounds okay to me? It could be personal taste. Either that or I have a really bad ear ;)

Cheers though, I appreciate what you've said.

[Kazmo - Drift Away [WiP]]

Not bad

Ialways try take time on makeing songs can take up to half year before really complete something, Its not beacuse icant produce is more i really pushing me to the limit, Anyway very Releaxing tune, Nice Pluck sounds, Good bassline, nice chord have you tryed search for some major label or anything atm? Good piano looking forward hear finished version. Btw take ur time noone rushing you, unless records want some deadlines :P /TN

Kazmo responds:

Ya, I'm tired of spending maybe a week on a song, I'm taking my time on songs from now on. :]

Glad you enjoyed this!

Btw, I'm not rushing into getting signed either ^^

[Victory Dance]

Nice

Sounds like dance track from 95, simpel but very catchy melody, even thought i find it very repeativ, But its good mixing quality. Should add some other melody after that break, or something more that keep the flow on .. anyway grats to best of the week / TN

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thanks a lot man, yeep you know me, always trying to bring back the good ol' 90s rave scene.

Ahh good times 8D

[Dj-GloStix - Enigma]

Its nice style

But to be honestly Mixing level is not great, synth has high volym kick is very distored from 1.29 its hurts , But at 03.05 is very nice break "think best part in it" and build ups, song is abit cleared at that point, nice add synth, The song is needed more EQ work someplaces try balance the volyme, and check so the synth not oversounding the song for you. keep on working / TN

Dj-GloStix responds:

I realized it too, I got tired of tweaking the song so decided to leave it as it were.
Takes a long time to automate like 18 volumes at once not to mention their EQ's.
At the perfect levels so the right synth is more dominant at the right times.
Thanks for the review.

[Out Of Fantasy (Original Mix)]

Very nice

Good intro work, Guitar is ok but ithink it could been pitched up abit, Its bit cheesy.
Main Break is really nice work, Nice chords, even melody dident give me some energy but its nice working on the track. professional sounding, Just dident like guitar that been so dark could been more lighter, Classic trance build thought but its one top quality songs from newgrounds.com

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thanks a lot for the review and the 10!

Johnny~

[Spire - Desolated Winter]

Nice song

Very nice progressiv trance, Good work on the bassline, Kick is actully nice, Very nice plucks even for me its more like an intro melody, Song has nice energy but its abit empty could add in some more elements , Pad, FXes and some nice melody but its its great. Mixing is ok endlessnumber made nice point on that freq still needs some work. Keep on make music / TN

PrEmoEffect responds:

There aren't any real underlying pads. It probably would have added much to the ambiance to have them. And yes, mixing is the hardest part of producing, and it also depends on the medium you are using to listen. I usually use speakers to eq and mix, but I am always shocked to hear the difference in sound when I listen through headphones, especially through ear buds. Thanks for the review, it was very helpful.

[The Great Plains (polarus)]

Hello

Nice work really good chords, Releaxing trance tune, good bassline, The thing about the track got abit empty afterawile not much change then a piano, But its ok even could been some more plucked melody or so. Anyway i hear the piano has abit to high volyme in the track almost abit to high try turn volyme down alittle and add some nice add melody to the song this would be much better.
keep on working /TN

Ir0nwoods responds:

Thank you for your informative critique! I do apologize for the simple and empty melody. I've noticed that it needed something more, but I couldn't think of anything. I apologize again for the loud piano, I should have noticed it earlier. I will take note of the flaws that you have stated and make better songs in the near future. Thank you again for your review!
