[Wasn't Me [Trance]]

Holy...

Damn man, this is really good! Best I've heard from you yet. Again, like the others said it's very well mastered. Do you use an eq and maximus on every separate channel? I usually just eq each channel and also include reverbs, delays, soundgoodizers (as needed) and maximus on the master. But this is definitely better than my mastering xD .

Or4nges responds:

haha, Thanks! On this one I used a parametric EQ on every channel and then maximus on the master. I got lazy :P. I do think I used ANOTHER maximus on some of the leads though. Other than that just effects here and there. Even used 3xOsc for the intro pad lol! That little guy can sound good if you work it right.

Thanks again man! Good to hear from you :P

[Axon Discharge]

Not my genre

But it still sounded really good despite the fact that I didn't like it xD . It's just my taste. I can definitely appreciate good music when I hear it, even if it's not something I listen to regularly. Very well produced.

[Falkor]

Odd lol

Falkor??? lol A bit repetetive but it was interesting to say the least.

NAPAX44 responds:

Yeah its quite repetitive at the moment, but I do plan on adding more new and different stuff to it later. Thanks for the review.

P.S. Don't get too close to Falkor

[-Winter Solstice-]

Agree about the 0 bombers :/

It's so heartbreaking to see tracks that deserve well over 4's but get 0 votes constantly. WHY DO PEOPLE RESORT TO THIS IT DOESN'T MAKE YOU COOL! I upload a song and it gets a 2.32 instantly within 5 votes v.v . Anyway, really calming track, wouldn't call it "trance" necessarily, but I've made pieces similar to this so I can greatly appreciate it. I absolutely loved it. To be honest though, the grasp of winter wasn't as strong as I thought it could be.

9/10
5/5

ChronoNomad responds:

I have another Winter-inspired piece that I'm considering uploading on here, but I guess that the "Winterness" would be fairly subjective to each person. I personally think it would make an awesome background track for a snow and ice level of a game.

Anyway, I'm glad that you liked it and exist as a kindred spirit on this side of the Zero Bomber fence. It's a shame that they exist to slam good submissions for kicks or to feel better about their miserable little lives. Sucks to be them, I guess.

[/-Heavens Melody-\(Beta)]

Cool

Not really into DnB but I thoroughly enjoyed this piece. The melody was really cool and the song overall was energetic. I felt like it was all based on high frequencies though, I didn't hear much bass to it. I was kind of expecting more drums to be honest. But it is still a wip, can't wait to hear the rest it sounds really cool :) .

9/10
5/5

Darkfire96 responds:

Im still learning to make DnB as I want to expand my genre. It kinda is based on high frequencies, but I didnt have any bass because My computer couldn't handl it for some reason. So this will probably be done around christmas time(When I can get some new parts). Or less if I somehow fix things. Im working on something and I need some help with the melodies. You stand out in that area, so can I mail you the flp?

/-DJ Chaos-\

[Revitalized (Demo)]

nice

Sounds cool man. I like the synths you used. Hmm overall I'd say it was good. Nothing that stuck out as bad on first listenthrough. Melodies could use some work. Maybe work on your mixing and mastering as well. Some synths and sounds were louder than others in proportion.
Keep up the great work!

[Soulero n Contacreast - Revibe]

TEH EPICNESSS

Gave it 9 cuz it isn't perfect. But it is really well produced dude. Great job guys.

Soulero responds:

Fair enough

[i9incher - invasion]

Nice man!

Hey sweet you got on the top 30 :D

[I zero bombed your mom]

haha

I remember you saying you were going to make a song like this and you did finally hahaha xD . Zero bombers beware!

i9incher responds:

damn straight, fuck those fucking fuckers.

[That All May Be One (Demo)]

Great!

This is a good one! You're getting better.
The intro suffers from a bit of repetitiveness, but I very much enjoyed the melody. If this had a bit more variation to it this would be awesome! If you have a long song, it's best to keep it interesting to keep the listener's attention. Everything about it was great, I loved it. The only thing I think is that it could have been compressed into a 3 minute song, which would have been better to keep my attention.

Keep it up!

SugarSimon responds:

good comment! thanks for the right thing!
