[DrumStep Practice]

Synths yes, percussion no :(

First off, i like! It sounds dirty, aggressive and heavy.

I am not that experianced with drumstep but i have dabbled with it. I think the trick is to make your percussion as crazy as the speed with tom drums rolling down, beats skipping and double hits every where. Also youtube somthing called "ghost notes" for drum and bass its bassicly essential for making a pro DnB loop and i am sure it also plays a big part in dubstep and drumstep.

Feel free to pm if you have any questions and i will help if i can.

NiteCrow responds:

Hmm, thanks for the tips there, i'll consider every bit of them ^^ Also thanks for the only review, the reviewers are a little... lazy or something. Thanks again.

[Electro swing test]

Disco funk shit

To me its sounds very disco-esque. It lacks a funky bassline at 35 seconds, you should try a "walking" bass line to add the rythum and bounce to it. Feel free to PM me if you have and questions.

[Suddenly Bear]

Nice Concept

You should try and get this in flash very good shit right here. With my reviews i foucus on the negitive but offer constructive criticism, so dont feel as though iam flaming you or anything.

Negitive Points:

1. Keep the bear sound effect, but lose the BOOM!

2. The roaring lyrics are not aggressive enough and at points it seems like your stuggling to keep up with the tempo.

Overall really good though and it has a really good comedy factor to it also pretty neat mastering.

DruoxtheShredder responds:

What's wrong with the boom? It allows for the bear to appear in a violent explosion. Which allows for a pretty awesome mental image in my mind, personally >.>

And the off timing, I assume is in the beginning? That's supposed to be like that so it sounds stupid.

I wish you explained why and where in your criticism so I knew what exactly you're talking about in the song so I can see/hear what you're talking about...

[Dj Gonzo -Above the Clouds 2.0]

Not bad

This song has good progression and the melody evolves as the track goes on. Okay i gave you nine for a reason and this is why.

1. Some of the percussion is to powerfull for example the snare and the kick. This is a mastering issue its always worth while going over the song few times and fiddling with volumes until everything blends in perfectly, dont worry it takes practice.

2. Some of the synths are a "Cheap" and "Cheesy" sounding i know it cant be hard making good synths. Try adding some slight delay or reverb next time to make it sound more pro.

3. Its not trance more a dance track. I know thats a minor point but i was just making you aware of it. (I did not de-merit you for that btw)

Good work overall just practice mastering and those synths.

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Thank you! Well I doubt between put this song in Trance or Dance but in the first version of this one I chose Trance so I've done the same thing in this one.
Thank you again for your opinion!

[Opening Theme 2]

Epic melody, Epic instruments, Epic atmosphear.

This loops perfectly, i can see see being used in game on NG if you polish it up. Infact patch all that you should just do the soundtrack for a whole RPG style game.

Definetly giving me and the other guys in the thread a run for our money so to speak.
Sure you did this in 1hr 30 mins? Because thats pretty impressive!

samulis responds:

You can ask the fellow who asked me to write it if you want complete proof... he posted in the arrangement after this one that he settled on for his game.

I would be more than glad to do the soundtrack for an entire game, but I rarely get requests for more than borrowing a song... in fact, this is only the second piece I have been commissioned/asked to write, aside from the stuff for the Game Jam.

[Auder - Two Hour Challenge]

I think you should continue with ..

Its seems to have potential. Your wubs and synths are good and fit the rythem of the percussian. Why a 7 you say? It badly BADLY! needs mixed and mastered properly its just clipping all the way through the song.

Auder responds:

Well, as i said. Two hours. :)

[KKS - Killing Spree]

Pretty sweet

I will need see if i can get the same kinda VSTi for fl studio. Wouldent have guessed that was virtual.

The ta ta ta thing is becuase of the mastering (i think) so have a little tinker with that and see if that helps.

5/5
10/10

Check out my track thats in ad thread mate if you have a minute

KKSlider60 responds:

Thank you, I will check out your track :D
I think it's either a matter of samples or some other setting I have yet to figure out. It's a pretty cheap option since Ministry of Rock 2 costs over 9000 dollars... XDD
